England squad

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Palmer is currently the best player in the world but seemed off.

We are really crap at getting players to be their club selves.

Chelsea are a lot better this season than England were this evening which certainly helps any player.

The starting 11 looked great on paper but on paper has never won football games or produced good performances. Foden and Palmer shouldn't be in the same team. Starting Bellingham as a false 9 instead of just starting Watkins who has been one of the best strikers in Europe for the last few years was a daft decision at best. Rice was crap in the Euros and often looked exposed, yet Carsley played him on his own in front of the defence anyway. Lewis and Trent are League One calibre defenders. You would still hope that we would have too much for a pretty ordinary, albeit extremely motivated, Greece team regardless. But it could and should have been 3-6.
 
Whoever the manager is,it’s upto them to stop trying to shoehorn all these attacking players into this team,and if that means dropping a foden or a Bellingham then so be it.

Too many players been coasting along but still get picked regardless takes the piss.
 
Is there anything one can conclude when a player's game doesn't 'travel'? What things contribute to that?

Nothing whatsoever. Happens to pretty much any player in international football. Doesn’t travel? He scored in the final of the euros and assisted in the semi.. don’t be a clown.

Foden yes, game doesn’t ‘travel’ .. Palmer could play for anyone, he’s Ballon d’or candidate level.

Build the squad around him and Bellingham - two world class players.

Foden needs dropping and should have done a while ago. We don't have Guardiola in charge and we don't play anything like Man City,

Gomes offered us a lovely balance in midfield in our previous game prior to tonight and yet didn't kick a ball this evening, despite the game crying out for another midfielder after 5 minutes.

Carsley well and truly fucked us tonight, but some of the players also should be disgraced by their own performances. None more so than Pickford.

See, always insulting. He didn't have the same influence on games in the Euros as he does with Chelsea...your shiny objects aside. His play with England has been inconsistent...fair to say the point about travel.

Foden yes, game doesn’t ‘travel’ ..
Yes, absolute shit for England...has he ever had a good game?

Palmer could play for anyone
would the performance be consistent? Not a knock, he's still a young player...jsut a question.

Bellendham was utter shit tonight...stop it! A team cannot be built around him as his influence is only periodically on the scoresheet.

What they need to do is stop trying to shoehorn every supposed good player into the team and instead include complementary skillsets and qualities...you know, a team.

Or not, IDC!

Ermmmm he didn’t have the same influence because he was used as a sub. Whenever he came on he was excellent. Did you even watch the games? Shiny objects .. fuck off, an equalising goal against Spain in a Euros final and you act like it’s nothing.

He was good against the Netherlands. Otherwise no.

Yes. Palmer is already world class. What he is doing to the premier league currently is unprecedented.

No he wasn’t. He was everywhere and scored a fantastic goal. He should also have had an assist.

‘Supposed’ good players ruin an otherwise half decent final point .. yes we should stop doing this. If you think Bellingham, Palmer, Saka etc are only ‘supposed’ good players though you’re beyond reason.

It was a bonkers formation played at a frantic pace,we never had control of the game once.He’s fucked his chance of that job now.

They should all be playing for their places now, all of them were tosh.
 
The real sad thing is , we keep suspending the PL for this shit.

And later on in the season , we'll play something like 15 games in 14 days because of it.
Yup, that Nations League bollocks should be killed off. Had an international break in Sept, another one now, then again mid Nov...for pointless, shit games. Ridiculous from UEFA. Qualifiers for the Euros/WC and the odd friendly here & there are more than enough.
