Mr Popodopolous Posted Thursday at 20:49 Share Posted Thursday at 20:49 (edited) I thought Greece were sharp, good on the break and cohesive- we had our moments but not sure we deserved anything from that, I only really saw the 2nd half. We were average? Below? Check for a possible penalty right towards the end- will watch it back in full later in the week. Carsley...yeah he isn't getting the job.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted Thursday at 20:51 Share Posted Thursday at 20:51 Beaten not just fair and square but all ends up. Greece had the ball in the net 5 times with England saved on 3 occasions. There are experiments and then there's madness. Let's start with no recognised full backs, no recognised centre forward and wingers that don't go by anybody. Greece couldn't believe their luck. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Hankey Posted Thursday at 20:52 Share Posted Thursday at 20:52 For people that may say on forums or the internet “bet you wish we had Gareth again” - he was struggling come the end to manage this squad, due to the amount of “elite” players we now have. Back in 2018 we didn’t really have any world-class stars (Kane was on his way there i suppose). The next coach needs to be someone who can handle the ego’s that are coming through. I get a big name doesn’t guarantee success, but i can’t see Carsley being able to manage this team, even tonight they didn’t look like they were enjoying it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted Thursday at 20:57 Share Posted Thursday at 20:57 Poor night for Pickford, but he’s largely been good for England. So clear of any of the other options we have to play in goal. Branthwaite should start in this side too. Not as sold on Mitchell as a few of you seem to be. I think Lewis Hall at Newcastle is a better option. Hope Carsley doesn’t get the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted Thursday at 20:58 Share Posted Thursday at 20:58 Coaching snobbery is ruining football tbh. Playing without a proper forward was a piss take from minute o one not an experiment. A two bob coach ripping up the coaching manual and not only losing but getting battered. I would give it to Ashley Cole on Sunday. People forget how ordinary we were against Finland too. I think we know better than anyone on here that a bit of success with youngsters doesn’t equip you for the top job…….. Fair play to Greece though, tore us apart on the break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
