RoystonFoote'snephew Posted Sunday at 16:53 Share Posted Sunday at 16:53 Finland are not as good as Greece but for the most part that was better from England. Carsley has actually picked a balanced side with a centre forward that gives a focal point and allows more room for Bellingam. Similarly, I do like Angel Gomes in midfield who doesn't waste passes and his presence gives Rice scope to get forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted Sunday at 18:13 Share Posted Sunday at 18:13 Thought it was better than Thursday, not a master piece by any stretch but by far the better team (as you’d expect). Gomes looks more like what we need in that holding role because he can pick up the ball and pivot in tight spaces. It allows Rice to be the 8 then, I don’t think that’s a negative having 2 of them.

It’s not something that leaves you parched nor is it like Thatchers where it is far too sweet and feels like a can of sugar. It is quite pricey per bottle but definitely worth it.

We’ve got an excellent squad, it just needs that strong character to make that final % improvement I don’t necessarily agree with your reasons that it should be a non-English manager but I do think the reality is we have not developed enough great English managers over the past thirty years. I don’t think Carsley is ready to step up like Southgate did and most other English candidates are either underwhelming, under contract or both. I think Lampard is the fourth favourite English manager for the job, which shows we are on slim pickings. Of the names that seem seriously in the frame, it is hard to see a reason to go for any English manager over Tuchel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have had no problem with Grealish going but I thought there was a reasonable case for each of the attacking/wide midfielders we took instead. Bellingham, Saka, Foden and Gordon all had more successful seasons and - whilst Bowen and Eze were at less glamorous clubs - both were in-form. I think an in-form Grealish is England’s best option on the left but I do see why others made the cut ahead of him based on form and regular game time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one of those players who if not picked people question it but then when does has to perform or his selection is questioned over others. Foden seems to be right out of form and even Palmer was poor tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
