England B Team (Paddies) v England UEFA Nations League

[Leavemyarcelona]

Looking forward to this one. Should be comfortable

[zico]

Bowen more shots on target in 5 minutes than Kane in 85? Kane has clearly been a top striker but his sharpness is going and we need to find the next England striker. Not sure the likes of Watkins is the answer. Pity Haaland chose Norway, born in Leeds wasn't he?

[Vexed]

TAA is a player that's about 25% as good as he thinks he is who can neither defend nor is physical enough to play in midfield. Yet everyone seems determined to shoe horn the flash prick in somewhere. One good ball every three games ain't good enough. His free kick prowess is a myth. He doesn't have a position. What's he even doing in the squad? 

[Haz]

A decent 10 minute cameo from our very own Bowen

[onsideman]

Second half England have been dire.

Kane hopeless throughout 

What is he learning here?

[zico]

For every world class pass he produces there are far too many loose, lazy balls played by TAA, also not keen how he drifts inside thus pushing Rice outside to cover, losing the team width. He isn't a good defender either to be fair. Not sure if the good outweighs the bad at international level with him.

[onsideman]

TAA is an incredibly talented player. Technically he’s just so good.

Oirland are embarrassing.

I think TAA has been, arrogant, complacent and slack as fuck

[cholo]

Weren't we linked with O'brien in the summer?

[lowlife]

Agree re Pickford. I think we played it back to Pickford for him to launch it upfield after every kick off in the Euros. Sunday League tactics.

[Iron Duke]

Where does Bellingham  fit in

In the middle with Rice and Mainoo.

Where does Foden fit in would be a more valid question.

[Leavemyarcelona]

Where does Bellingham  fit in

[Hammer and Pickle]

You as what it’s it got to do with me, Vexed?

I’m fucking enjoying the game, and that happens to include Declan’s class.

What about you son?

[happygilmore]

Two own goals. England lucky so far

[Gaffer58]

Carsley had already improved on Southgate in my view in that he’s given Pickford instructions to pass to a team mate, whereas Southgate was quite happy for him to hoof it as far as he could most times.

[Vexed]

What the fuck has it got to do with you Pickle? Shouldn't you be out trying to club a swan to death for dinner or attempting to scoop up a carp out of someone's pond with a shopping basket you AIDSy feral cսnt? 

[lowlife]

I’d be celebrating - it’s not like the Irish have been respectful.

83% of the ball after 40 minutes. Gareth is tutting and shaking his head.

[Hammer and Pickle]

Come on Vexed. You don’t actually celebrate when you totally outclass someone you have a connection with do you. Not unless you’re a bit of a cսnt.

[Takashi Miike]

It's nice to see them working hard, but why the fuck does Kane feel the need to track a winger when there's already two doing the job? Stay up the field

[goose]

TAA is an incredibly talented player. Technically he’s just so good.

Oirland are embarrassing.

[lowlife]

Vexed - yep, agree with that. Great player but the PC approach to not wanting to upset people is stupid.

 If I scored for my country, in a hostile away environment, I’d be going mental.

[Hammer and Pickle]

This is looking like a dignified massacre right now.

[Vexed]

Rice is a fucking minge. 'oooh look at me I'm such a nice bloke' fucking posturing. What a cսnt. Celebrate you fucking dopey looking rice pudding salesman cսnt. Grealish, proper lad. That's more like it. 

[lowlife]

I know it’s only Ireland, but this is like a breath of fresh air. Great performance so far, night and day to how Southgate would have set up.

[Mad Ferret]

You couldn’t make it up!

Two top quality goals too.

[lowlife]

Assist from Rice, goal by Grealish. Hilarious.

 What a goal though - bamboozled the defence.

[cholo]

Agagag.
