  • Ridiculous when both teams wear a change strip
  • Just changed channels because the Wales game was so dull. WTF is that abomination of a kit. England should always play in red or white never fucking ghastly blue.
  • Getting the job done tonight... Not that there is a need to
  • No Sterling?
    He didn't play in our last set of matches either did he? He is in the squad though?
    Not even on the bench. Nice goal from Sancho. Problem is Kane, Sterling and Sancho wont play together until the Euros. They will have no time to gel together.
  • Ireland are woeful 
  • When you’re the underdog like Ireland, it must be so annoying to give away a goal from a CB. 
  • Now that's how to take a penalty!

    Was perfect.

    Republic of Ireland midfielder Alan Browne has tested positive for coronavirus having played against England on Thursday.
    Preston's Browne, 25, played the full 90 minutes of his side's 3-0 defeat at Wembley Stadium.
    The Football Association of Ireland said he had "no close contacts" and all other players and staff have tested negative.

    England's preparations for their Nations League fixtures against Belgium and Iceland will not be affected as the Return to Play protocol is designed to legislate for such occurrences.

  • 5 at the back with 2 DCMs. 

    Negative Southgate strikes again. 
  • It probably is 541 but could be: 
    Pickford
    Walker, Dier, Mings, Chilwell 
    Tripper, Rice, Henderson, Grealish 
    Mount
    Kane 


  • If that side doesn't produce then he's on thin ice.
  • Only worry is that we have a defensive midfielder at centre back.  Surely we must have a better option than that available we could have chosen.

    Well yes Keane is on the bench. But Dier has been playing CB for Spurs. Not quite sure he’s good enough for International football but don’t think he worse at CB than DM/CM. 
  • Defence is still a major issue for whoever the England Manager is

    Chilwell at Left-Back is probably the only position cemented, maybe Maguire at Centre-Back too with the amount he plays

    Need to produce a few decent Centre-Backs as the selection pool isnt brilliant
  • Grealish forcing his way in
    The midfield is proper shit though.....

  • Still no Sterling and no Sancho?!

  • Fuck me that is a miserable lineup. Three attacking players
  • Still no Sterling and no Sancho?!
    Sterling is injured... Sancho has been shit for Dortmund this season

    That’s never stopped Southgate before. He’d have been one of the first names on the team sheet if he was a keeper or defender.

    Guess as we've seen from Bowyer's rotating, its more important to have a settled Goalkeeper and Defence

    Too much credit for Southgate there. Think it’s just convenient as he doesn’t like attacking players. Not sure this back 6 have to played together either so not sure it’s settled at all. 
  • If Eric Dier didn't play for Spurs, he'd have nowhere near as many caps as he has currently.
  • Sancho isn’t fit enough to play 2 games in 4 days. 

    That back 3 definitely needs protecting, especially against KDB and Lukaku. Think Southgate has probably called this correctly, although time will tell.
  • The one positive thing with that lineup is that Grealish should have a lot of freedom to attack
  • Sancho would be considered by anyone outside of England as our best player. 
    Considered better than Kane? Not sure about that. Also, I believe Sterling’s record over the last year is up there with the best in the world.
