Italy v England - UEFA Nations League | Friday 23rd September, 19:45

[remember arthur mann]

This has the quality of a bottom half PL match

Kinell, it's not that good.

 

[RandomJ]

England are getting knocked out in the group stage at the World Cup.

 

[dadnlad]

Are they playing on ice

 

[Josh_D]

I was waiting for that to happen, that's why Pope can't be England's number 1, terrible distribution.

Thing is, passing out from the back only became more prevalent when Pep came to England. They’ve all spent their entire careers hoofing it as far as possible. Pickford is the ‘best’ of a bad bunch and even I’m saying that with sarcasm.

 

[jimharri]

No way is he international standard

To be fair to him, he's not on his own in that side. How the hell Dier gets in the same postcode as the national side, never mind in the XI, is one of life's great mysteries.

 

[WestGorton]

Dreadful lunge from Rice.

 

[jollylescott]

Saka as a left wing back? And then pushing up to stand next to Raz?

England are getting knocked out in the group stage at the World Cup.

Nah, like always they get extremely lucky with easy group draws

 

[supercity88]

Imagine having carte blanche in choosing a replacement for the monotonous Lee Dixon on co-coms and picking the equally monotonous Le Saux.

Do bland fullbacks have the monopoly on commentating on England?

I think they must get picked by the main commentators. Glenn Hoddle is painfully dull as well. The McCoist comes on and it's an absolute treat, an absolute treat.

I'd be tempted to go Ramsdale, has slightly less flaps in him than Pickford, only just though.
