He handled it well, he would have been justified to take her to task. "I've just scored the winner for my country, I've got 61 caps and have scored 41 goals and you ask me if I have to still justify my selection???"

A class reply would have been “that is a question for the manager, I can only try my best.”

That is very very different to “I couldn’t wait to get away”

Nope, it’s literally what he said. “There’s been a lot of reasons why I haven’t been scoring for my club. It’s been a long season with them and I couldn’t wait to get away and be here.”

I noticed that, I wonder what he meant.

sounds like a little bit of friction with the manager dropping him

A class reply would have been “that is a question for the manager, I can only try my best.”

I would have preferred “every England player always has to justify their selection not just me!”

Like I said, they hear what they want to hear.

Matty, Matty, Matty. Oh dear. It's going to be a big job bringing you and your sexist chum bois into the 21st century.
Just respect Ms Nugent as an accomplished journalist and if l may say so, a very attractive female person.
Didn't you get a chance to read that report yesterday about the abuse girls get in school? I am sure it must have been in the Daily Mail for you.

I like that you're trying to stick up for her but then discuss her physical appearance as if that has any bearing on her ability.


Way to be progressive. She's not going to see this bro.

Sterling not being forced to stay out wide like with City means that his off the ball movement coming inside really is allowed to flourish.

That's why he'll keep getting picked. The best example is his movement to turn a simple throw in from Trippier in his own half into Foden hitting the post seconds later. Nobody else can really do that.

That’s probably due to England’s midfielders playing deeper than City where we use more 10s. Similar to a Liverpool setup.

Sterling is always strongest running behind and our wingers are forced wide to do 1v1 dribbles. Maybe Pep should playing Jesus winger more and Sterling as a speed striker?

That "justified selection" question was poor. No wonder some of the players are suspicious of these talentless twats in the media.

1st time in many years I've celebrated an England goal like I did today.
