England v Greece | 10th Oct '24 | Nations League

[Nethermoor]

We'd have won that 1-0 under Southgate

Just not working for Phil in an England shirt not sure what the answer is.

Maybe wear a City shirt underneath his England shirt?

Anyone actually considered a lot of our players are overated? Miss placed passes..poor control..bad decisions..woeful tackling.. that's not the managers fault. No engkish clubs in champs league semi's .. our press whip up hype..idiots believe. Lets just fk intl football off. Its sh*te and england are always about 7th or 8th really

I saw Gordon receive the ball with his back to goal near the halfway line. His first touch the ball went back into England's half and about 12 feet from him. No ability to control the ball.

By the time the next international break is over in November. There will have been 11 Premier League games and 6 England games since the start of the season.

That’s just not right on any level.

There is far too much international football played during the season.

I called this a few years back
Needs to be sorted out. But it won't be.
The players are fucked..

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

I understand the logical explanation, but the proliferation of games makes international football less special. Add in the strength of league football and it's dying on its arse.

And yet when the main tournaments (WC and Euros*) come around everyone is watching because it's less predictable than club football.

*Copa America is more interesting for the fights and time difference makes it too much of a chore. AFCON is always a level below and always too hot and humid.

Can’t understand all the hype with Gordon…….

 

[Keeper!]

I'm one of many who think England would have done better with a manager other than Southgate. As for the level Fat Sam has managed at; was Southgate's record any better.
My main point was that Fat Sam might have achieved something if it wasn't for a gutter-press sting, and there is hardly a manager in the game who is squeaky-clean and has the public image desired by the FA.

Fat Sam was a greedy bastard, and got what he deserved.

No just got caught………many haven’t

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Phil was the best player in England & in the top 5 in Europe when he to the Euros.

He was completely 'Hollowed Out' by waistcoat/bellingham and hasn't recovered.

This along with his illness seems to have affected his confidence.

The lad looks lost !!
