The England Thread

[Danny1]

Declan Rice and Michael Keane are clearly not good enough to be England players. Rice just runs around and lumps it long and Keane is genuinely just a rubbish footballer. It’s like he has won a competition to be on the pitch.

There is a lot more them 2 that are shite.

A deserved loss, cant say anything else.

The main issue that needs to be addressed is the centre of the park, but that's going to continue to be a problem into the medium-long term until we bring players through. Centre backs is also an issue but if you actually get and keep the ball you can mitigate for this a bit. Individually there are two or three who need to be cut, and others like Sancho aren't ready to be undisputed starters.

In the last few games though we've been noticeably wide open, a bit like Spurs. And also much like Spurs, I think some of that is because we have players not working hard enough.

England have gone back to being utter dogshit. I saw people saying we should get Southgate in. Wtf!

Oh I agree but just these two in particular were really really really shite. Mount did absolutely nothing, Rose looks done and Sancho had a very quiet game.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Since Barkley’s pass to Kane he’s turned in a complete shower of shite.

Woeful England performance... once again highlighting Southgate’s complete lack of in game management/a plan B. It wasn’t rocket science to spot the issues with England’s play yet he failed to do anything about it.

 

[SugarRay]

Frankly, an awful result that.

We all doubted Southgate when he started. Could be the beginning of the unravelling? The defence is so poor. Makes Tottenham look solid in comparison.
Granted he doesn’t have a lot to pick from but we should never be losing to that Czech team

 

[worcestersauce]

Henderson hitting passed all over the show tonight like he's Glenn Hoddle except not one of them anywhere near where he presumably wanted them to go, not one.

 

[spursfan77]

Maybe just Southgate doesn’t fancy playing any midfielders with an ounce of technical ability. In international football you need the ball. In fact, in any football.

 

[Thewobbler]

Just saw the line up lol. Really, TAA on the bench, pickford in goal, hendo and rice in the middle of the park. Woeful team selection.

Needed a Winks take-on-the-half-turn player today. Maguire and Keane May as well have been bouncing a ball off a wall.

 

[SE Spurs]

That was to fcking terrible, worst England performance for a while. Keane and Maguire are a shocking combination. And I have no idea what Rice actually does in this England side.
Overall poor throughout though , very lacklustre.

Keane would miss the wall.

 

[1882andallthat]

It was like watching Spurs over the last couple of games, sloppy, defensively poor, second to the ball, lack of movement etc , etc, if I was hoping to get some respite from our last two games I didn't find it here tonight.....

20 - Harry Kane has scored 20 @England goals in games when starting as captain - in the history of the England national team, only Vivian Woodward has scored more goals when starting as captain (23 goals between 1908 and 1911). Leader.

 

[buckley]

Winks is a far better player than Rice . Tarchowski / Tamori / Dunk are all better players than Keane .
Is Henderson the best we can do? Mount was out of his depth .
It seems that Dele / Dier losing form has not affected spurs only but England also .

 

[dagraham]

Can’t believe that stat about that being our first defeat in qualifiers for 10 years. Shows how piss easy our qualifying groups have been.

 

[dagraham]

Shame Maddison was ill. I think if he takes to international football he’ll be hard to leave out.

 

[Shadydan]

You're not going anywhere if you have Rice and Henderson in your midfield.

 

[John48]

That was Rice's worst game in an Eng shirt, but he was joined by Henderson & Keane, plus Rose wasn't good either. Czech's were really up for it & Eng weren't.
