England bore the fucking life out of me. Everything is so slow. It feels like we are trying to play like City, but with a load of players that wouldn’t get anywhere near a City team.
Maguire, Shaw, Rice, Henderson, Rashford absolute dump.
Declan Rice talked about as a £100m midfielder blows my fucking mind. I’ve never seen him make a forward pass. I’ve lost count of the the amount of times the ball has fallen to him in the middle of the park, and it’s crying out for that quick ball forward but he stops and passes backwards.
Henderson thinks he is kicking a grenade and can’t wait to get rid of it. Might work with Salah up front looking for the long ball all the time. Doesn’t work in this side.
Stones has been very good.
Foden and Bellingham need more of the ball because nothing is coming from Rice or Henderson. If Southgate had anything about him, he would get Henderson off, drop Phil into the middle and bring Saka or Grealish on. He won’t though, he will be happy with a 0-0 and qualification.
