    Hungary are a decent side. They don't have the best players but they are organised and have a gameplan.

    We are the opposite. We have good players but we look disorganised and don't seem to understand any system we try.

    The fascination of playing right backs at centre half and left back just unbalances everything. I think his heads gone. Wouldn't surprise me if he walks before the World Cup.

    Exactly, Hungary don't get enough credit, why do we always think we are better than them and other countries such as the Ukraine, we are not, they are always tough games these days. Just because Prem clubs pay millions for donkeys, dosen't rubber stamp anything that they are better players, it just means the clubs have got stupid owners.

    Kind of wish i had watched the Wales game, Wales 2-1 down after 26 mins, pull it back to 2-2 on 92 mins and lose 3-2 on 93 mins.
    Exciting.

    We did exactly the same in the last game which is bizarre.

    Southgate is the new tinkerman but everytime he tinkers it just reinforces his view that we need to play 5 at the back + 2 holding midfielders. We'll either bore our way to the latter stages of the WC or bomb out early doors and part of me wishes for the latter.

    Perhaps if Gareth was to announce he's leaving after the WC it would be best all round.

    All Southgate has to do is play iran USA and Wales and all that will matter is the top line..

    England gets into the ko rounds at least..

    They keep banging on about the semi and the final, but if they employed a good manager they'd maybe have won something.

    All I'm hearing is oh well don't forget we did quite well a few years ago...90 and 96 was at least exciting. Jesus at least sven lost to good sides.

    I think the only England midfielder to cone out of these Nations League games with any credit ... is James Maddison ...

    He must be pissing himself now at Southgates comments about him being left out because those included have "served us well" ... not one goal from open play, no guile, no invention, no idea .... and now dry humped at home by Hungary <laugh>

    The League? ... think our outlook is as bleak as your's tbph...

    The Cup? ... you never know ...

    When do you think you might beat us next?

    I'm still a bit pissed off at VAR ruling out our second goal at OT in the league which robbed us of a fourth consecutive win against your lot in all competitions ... <grr>

    Ramsdale isn’t the answer for backup GK. we need better FWD options and a CB partnership that looks stable. Loads of MF options.
