Off Topic Non-Sunderland games

No Ballard for NI tonight Hume starts

 

Calvin Phillips will be crap. We’ll still win though.
Watkins will come on and score from a TAA assist.

 

Slight tweak in his thigh wasn’t it? Glad he’s rested personally

 

Yeah me too hopefully he’s fine for sat, selfish but hate our players going away on internationals

 

Couldn't agree more. Hate internationals personally unless it's a tournament.

 

Phillips is so rusty it’s amazing he gets a game.

 

Ex-mag Mike Williamson has left Gateshead to become MK Dons head coach

That's a lack of match sharpness from the CHs not to pick the striker up as well. Their first attack after a decent opening period from England.

 

England all over the shop here.

I suppose with the reputation they've gained as chokers with a soft underbelly it was only a matter of time before a decent team came to have a real go.

 

Italy really holding their shape well, refusing to dive in

 

Why do England take half an hour to get the ball past the half way line!

 

Definte pen for me like. Bellingham is the shining light in this team - just build it around him

 

Phillips has completely disappeared since his yellow card, needs changing now

 

I bet he goes for Gallagher before Henderson.

That's what Tonali told me anyway.

 

This team is going backwards under Southgate. He's becoming stubborn with his squad and team selection. Maguire, Phillips and Henderson, have no right to be anywhere near the squad.

 

I like Jill Scott, but bloody hell, she can't talk in anything but cliches when it comes to punditry.

 

I love how clinically Italy move the ball when they go through the gears in attack. Very tough to defend against as we are finding.

Their first touch and ball control is a notch above a lot of our lads.

 

I don't think they are out of second gear tbh.
