Yeah it's not an excuse we were crap, but if you recall we lost 4-0 at home to Hungary a few years back exactly the same Intl break, probably tells you about the players' mentalities more than anything, that said I reckon if they were in a Nations League last 4 they would have rised it.

We beat Senegal 3-0 not long ago when it mattered. We would so again if it mattered. If we had beaten Andorra 4 nil and then won yesterday it really wouldn't have told us much else anyway.
 
I defended Southgate time and time again and got pelters.

Let's see what Tuchel does but I'm not confident at all.
You have to admit though that weren't going to actually win something with Waistcoat in charge with his vanilla football...
He's a cracking player and has always done well for England in general. You named a bunch of players, many who aren't as consistent as Saka for club or country.

He's just come back from injury and had a shit game. Shit happens.
I think he's a great player. The criticisms are because he's a Woolwich player.
 
Fuck me crying and making big claims over a shitty end of season friendly where we started Chalobah. Give me a break.

Saka’s shit now then, let’s pretend he wasn’t the only winger who got the better of Nuno Mendes lately, he’s shit. I guess Bellingham is shit too. Palmer struggled against Andorra so shit. Rice didn’t do much, we’ll forget the Madrid games, and Kane probably looked slow too so he’s shit as well.

Tuchel hasn’t had a chance to do bugger all yet, if yesterday was a competitive fixture it would likely have been a different result.

Much better squad. Glad to see Wharton finally included, and Alex Scott is a really good and somewhat under-rated player.

Madueke for Bowen and Palmer for Scott once fit and that's probably our best squad.
 
Good picks this time round, don't really get the Henderson thing but I seeing his form for Brentford I kinda understand why he's important to have around the squad, happy for O'Reilly as well.

Makes more sense to include him now then it did in his first couple of squads. At least he is playing well right now. If Klopp was managing this England team he would also be picking him. Managers love Henderson.

He has leadership skills and is still a premier league calibre player who stands out - he’s proven this. The grumbling should be much quieter now, it’s not like a top class midfielder is missing out.

Tournament experience too.
 
Keep seeing a different thread for every different England game or squad announcement!!! .. thought it might be a good thing to have ONE thread to cover everything England...

I'll start conversation; tonight's England Vs Serbia...

England looking sharp post kane coming off.. seem to pop the ball around a bit sharper
 
Pretty dead tonight but expected - already qualified and Serbia spent the game sat in a low block trying not to experience the same humiliation as last time.

Think we have a really healthy balance and a very good coach. Spain clear faves for the World Cup but we’re probably up there with the rest of the maybe pack.
