That's a grim result.

Not really, it's 3 points in the bag. The days of established teams putting 6, 7, 8 goals past 'lesser' sides are more or less over (with occasional exceptions) but I suspect you're too young to realise.

Well..ahem...
 

Considering that France team featured Martial, Pogba, Mbappe and co, I'd say that's something like Eastleigh FC v Man City at Stoneham...

But I take your point, it is a win.

Yep, just once a season....

 

...when we go down to 10 men 

Expand  

Hmm, got away with keeping the score down to five in two others games this season as well. Could easily have been 6 or 7 at least in those. Good to know it didn’t happen because the days of that happening are gone.

Commentator in the Scotland game:

“Che Adams is pressing but he needs some help otherwise he is wasting energy”

From the 10mins I’ve watched his link-up play has been okay but otherwise pretty drab affair

If you think Southgates England is bleak, the u21’s are appalling. Something like 1 shot on target in 180 minutes.

Yes man ✅ Right image ✅ Ability to waste another golden generation ✅ 

Hes the perfect candidate. Expect aidy boothroyd to take charge after the 2022 World Cup to lead us to another 10 years of obscurity. 
 

But in all seriousness, I think he was just the default option of ‘he’s managed the younger lads, we have younger lads coming through, let’s give it a go’.

Think you're being a bit kind with that description.

Really..? Kane, Foden, Grealish, Mount, Sterling, Rashford, Sancho are all world class and would walk into nearly every team in the competition. 
 

Our only weakness is at CB and arguably CM. Although I think Rice / Henderson is a very very good CM pairing.

3-4 members of the Polish squad have tested positive for covid. Including klitch (who is pictured next to and talking to Jan). You know what's going to happen now right? Covid outbreak in the saints team 👍

Japan are battering Mongolia 7-0. Minimino got the opener, still on the pitch.

Finished Mongolia 0 -14 Japan. Minamino only got the one goal. 

Not a great year to be a Saints and Mongolia fan.

Yeah we could do with him playing in at least some of the Burnley and WBA games as he's cup tied so need others available for Wembley.

Only ever seems to have any fitness issues when he’s either on duty with England, or been called up to the squad. Good lad. 

Expand  

Is the modern day ‘precaution’ something that wouldn’t have been questioned 10 years ago and players would have just played on. Feel like Prowsey is quite happy to get on with it where some players are told by the people around them not to risk it unless they are 100%.

Guess he wasn’t in the starting line up tonight so the decision was made for him but fully expect him to start against Burnley.

If Prowse isn't genuinely fitness impeded and he's returned to us because Ralph has leant on him, then he is a fucking idiot and probably just spaffed his chances of going to the euros.

I know some of you will be saying "but...but.... That means he's nice and fresh for Burnley"...etc

But I genuinely would have liked to have seen him go to the tournament.

He's shown what he can do , if he's not 100% and probs wasn't going to start he's best off coming back to saints . Now without him in the squad I'm hoping for a Poland clean sheet! Will probably flick over to the Scotland game more than once too , How Armstrong doesn't start every game for them I'll never know her far better than all of those players starting ahead of him .

He'll be a Liverpool player by the time the Euros comes around anyway then we'd have to hear commentators calling him "Liverpool's Ward-Prowse" 😁😜😈

 

Seriously I'd love a Saint in the England squad but I don't think he'd get much game time. Maybe a late sub to whip balls in or a reliable penalty taker. I like W-P but I don't think he's first XI material.

Not sure Kalvin Phillips is  either but he's in the first 11 and will probably go to the euros. Can prowsey displace him, I think so.

Because there's no VAR. 

Expand  

Really? So they changed that rule purely to accommodate VAR?

I didn't realise that was the basis for it.

It's a ridiculous rule. Just flag when the offence occurs like in this match.

Expand  

If you flag, and you're wrong, then there's no going back. 

If you don't flag, and VAR shows you were wrong, then it can make the correct decision. 

That's the logic behind it.

Better play from England tonight and a lot more effort against better opposition, unlike against San Marino when it was clearly abundantly obvious to anyone who knew what they were talking about that they weren't trying their absolute best as they didn't need to.

No way would he return if he didn't have a minor knock, it would have only been a few more hours and time on the bench for England. 

Hopefully he's fine, good that Armstrong is on the bench for Scotland as he struggles with too many games. Just need Adams and Bednarek to avoid injury. Adams got to be looking for a goal to make his mark against the Faroes.

Playing Phillips & Rice together is overkill, I think you only need one of them.

Plus side is, Poland haven't got anywhere near our box.

Is it me or is this commentator in love with Foden . As far as I can see he has produced next to nothing in that first half .

Expand  

Yes, just took a terrible corner and the commentator said it was a shot at goal and very close, which it wasn’t.

The criticism in your first paragraph is the reason for the second paragraph.
