No the only chance you have at the Next World Cup is if every other team pulls out and England win by default, I'd say.

 

They'd still lose on pens.

 

Ditch Tuchel... and see if we can get Craig Bellamy

 

You must rate the job Gareth did really highly if you think our squad is so average?

 

Last night was just a friendly, so a nothing game, this is the time we should be experimenting, but you are not doing that if you are still playing Kane and Walker. I'm not even a great fan of Bellingham, you can drop him to for all I care. I think Saka I can accept, because it can work but just didn't on the night. What's the point in bringing on Toney with just 3 ****ing minutes of normal time remaining, what are we learning, although what was funny was BBC giving him a higher player rating than Walker lol. I can't take Cole Palmer being on the bench, he needs to start speaking up for himself, he's too cool with it all and a very unselfish young man. I'm ok with Eze, I'm even ok with Gordon, the guy is just jinxed.

 

I don't follow much football at all now but the England thing is funny, why would you come in and use all these old guys? Build something new fgs.

 

That is exactly it for me Luv. I'd rather go and watch Wales at the moment, at least they try.

 

He's only contracted for world cup so won't be interested beyond that.

 

He doesn’t seem that interested now. Didn’t even start the job immediately because they let him ponce about doing nothing for a while.

 

Exactly my point from earlier. The likes of Kyle Walker and Jordan Henderson should be no where near an England squad with a world up next year, what the **** was that about.

We aren't average at all, or shouldn't be.

When names like Palmer, Rice, Kane, Bellingham are being mentioned, and you can add the likes of Rodgers, Saka, Eze, Gibbs-White and even Mainoo to that, then no one can say with a straight face we shouldn't be able to create and score goals.

Back four remains a problem, always has. The likes of John Stones have always been grossly over rated. But if he can find a system and some players to fit it and be coached, we should also be fine there.

 

Nah ... last tournament we muddled through an incredibly fortunate side of a tournament draw - perhaps the easiest that any England team has had during my lifetime watching football ...

 

So what Southgate did.

 

Nope ... TAA, Trippier, Foden all played out of position... in the same game ... and more than once ...

 

Does anyone actually know where Fodens position is?

 

Stockport police station picking up his mum

 

I was hoping for a "mum" response to that.

 

Certainly ain't as a wide man ...

 

On the bench
