England very good at playing walking football which is a game I thoughr was for old men who cannot run! Going nowhere with players like Barclay, Chilwell, a dreadful left back, Keane, Rice. Wow.

RedRock Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Go to one-third pace with a defensive mind-set and you get sloppy. When will Southgate wake up to the fact that walking football breeds complacency. Henderson find a ******** forward gear will you.

Alex_BCFC Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Get Maddison and Foden in plus Gomez at the back. Great going forward but until GS sorts out the losing the ball at the back then we won’t win a tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Maguire and Keane = a bloody great hole in the centre of defence. Play France, Belgium or perhaps one of the South American teams and we will be toast. Still, we are unbeaten at the top of our group, so it's not all bad even though our group is the dross of Europe.

bcfc01 Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Keane, Chillwell, Rice. Worthy of England caps ? I don't think so. Southgate underestimated the opposition tonight or he overestimated some of his players. The fullbacks were abysmal and either not ready for competitive England games or not up to it. Chillwell, imo, is nowhere near the standard. Changing both full backs was a big mistake, neither of the two that came in were anywhere near the performance levels of who they replaced. And Keane - really ? Yeah, we won and was entertaining, but Kosovo gave as good as they got and England were playing for the 5-3 at the end - at home, two goals in front. Big wake up call for Gareth - he hasn't got the strength in depth he maybe thought he had. More negatives than positives from that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Thing is Chilwell and Rice have both been very decent in the PL so I wouldn’t write them off just yet. I would think both squad players once likes of Foden etc come through Maguire generally is a solid defender so not got big issues there - just need someone else next to him. Keane and Stones are not the answer but Gomez is solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redandwhitescarf Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Don’t know why James Maddison didn’t play. He finally made it to the bench and yet despite there still being a sub to use, Gareth didn’t pick him(or anyone else) . Also why wait until 83rd minute, we should have played our subs all 3 of them between 60 & 75 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Incredible how negative some are. That’s Chilwell’s first average game for England but a fair few now say he isn’t good enough...one game! Henderson is clearly excellent. Other top nations often have only okay results in qualifiers and then reach finals or win the thing. No need to be so negative. We have an excellent squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was excellent in Rijeka and Seville as England took 4 points from the Croatia / Spain away double header (one of the hardest possible introductions to international football). A couple of dodgy moments tonight and all of a sudden he’s getting pelters from all angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosovo’s world ranking is artificially low, in part as they haven’t been around for particularly long. Before tonight they were on the longest unbeaten run (15 games) of any European country. They won’t stay in 120th place or below the Faroe Islands for much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venables had lots of interests outside of football, lucrative interests. He was never as into the game as much as you’d expect from an England manager. Why do you suppose we rarely see Venables on tv asa pundit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won’t be gifted such an easy run next summer as we were last. Quarter-finals at BEST for this team. Excellent going foward at times but woeful at the back.

arrytheb Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Far more enjoyable game than Saturday - even if getting to the ground was a absolute nightmare. I liked the fact Kosovo actually tried to play football and were far better than some of the international teams I've seen recently. Possibly the weirdest match I've ever seen though. 1 down after 37 seconds, 5-1 up at half time yet still time wasting come the final whistle . Atmosphere was a lot better than Wembley (smaller ground obviously helps). As others have pointed out, getting to Southampton was a nightmare due to roadworks and road closures so no real surprise there were empty seats at kick off. Plus the food/drink facilities were poor/limited so huge queues there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
