Nevermind the Football, did Carsley sing the anthem? That's what is more important.....

No, neither did Palmer, but who cares?

Tbf to Palmer he was probably thinking about how many worms there are in the world or something like that and didn’t hear it.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

My take is that if you look at the lineup, we had TAA, Stones, Colwill and Lewis as a back four, then Rice and Bellingham with Palmer, Foden, Saka and Gordon in the attacking role. TAA and Bellingham spent most of the game getting in the way of the front four, so it left Rice,Stones, Colwill and Lewis exposed. Lewis was on the wrong side to accommodate saint TAA and Bellingham got in the way of Foden, so we were vulnerable on the break, and Greece exploited it. They had three disallowed for offside and a goal-line clearance as well. Pickford was pathetic. With no holding midfield apart from Rice, it was obvious we deserved to lose before the kick off

I agree completely (barely take an interest in the Nations League, whatever division is in action), but you know, the Home Internationals were like that years ago. And people still flocked to them (especially the Scots, for whom it was a Big Deal if they were meeting England).

Should bring the home internationals back.

Sadly the English FA are far too arrogant to embrace reviving it.

Does such a manager exist who also has the squeaky-clean image the FA are looking for, and would they be willing to do the job.
We should have kept Fat Sam irrespective of what the gutter press said. He may be a dinosaur in many ways but he showed he could play decent football while at Bolton.

I must have missed that match

With the England manager, you can’t do right for doing wrong. With Southgate, it was boredom in many people’s eyes, Carsley has now tried to be attacking and that hasn’t worked, not his fault that Alexander Arnold and Saka don’t want to do their defensive duties during the game but no, the media won’t highlight that. So, before the Carsley pile on, let’s give him a bit of a chance, he’ll try things out, he talked about courage, let’s hope he has the courage to not name two or three of the bigger ego players, the next match.

I'd be happy if he just left Lewis, Stones, Grealish, Walker and Foden out.

I believe he was singing when Irish eyes are smiling when he saw the Eire result

 

[JRockBlues]

have city been blamed? Seen Liverpool fans blame Rico & Phil

Well we did have the most players from 1 club in the starting line-up so must've been surely. 3 current & 1 from our academy.

Seems like Bellingham cant put a foot wrong. The amount of misplaced passes y'day seemed to go unnoticed both in media and commentary. And its not the first time.
