England v Belgium (5 Viewers)

[Macca]

If Bellingham was.on form today, I think we would win this easily.

Yep just thought that. Think we can give him one off night

[Macca]

Mainoo, stop that now

For once let’s have some balls and start a brilliant young player from start of tournament

 

[Evo1883]

That space in midfield for England is mental

 

[Nick]

Looked a pen in real time?

 

[mark82]

That was beautiful from Doku.

Got the ball.

 

[Evo1883]

That was beautiful from Doku.

City fans not keen on him

 

[Otis]

Mainoo and Toney look so much better than Gallagher and Watkins don't they.

Looked a pen in real time?

Not in slow mo

 

[Nick]

Mainoo and Toney look so much better than Gallagher and Watkins don't they.

Gallagher has lovely hair

 

[Nick]

Why not get some subs on?

 

[Macca]

Bowen is everywhere. Brilliant effort. So is Mainoo but it seems to come easier to him

 

[Nick]

Teilemans looks like a sly bastard.

 

[skybluecam]

Mainoo looks like a top, top player already. Would be tempted to start the Euros with him, Rice and Bellingham as our midfield.

Dunk shouldn’t be on the plane and Chilwell has been toilet too.

 

[mark82]

Taking off Mainoo?

 

[Nick]

What's the point in flagging that late?

 

[Nick]

Maddison for mainoo?

Bellingham dropping back?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Impressive debut from Mainoo, looked confident, played without fear. Exciting.

I'm sure the England staff will coach that out of him in no time at all.

 

[mark82]

Looks like Branthwaite can look forward to a nice summer off anyway.

 

[Nick]

Gomez is awful

 

[Macca]

Gomez been a bit sloppy

 

[hamertime]

Should, but who knows with Southgate.

Knowing Southgate he will start him in defence with Eric dyer

 

[SBT]

What are you on about? Southgate has a better team and is managing in a period where the big teams are worse than they have been in the past.

It's the very opposite of unfair.

I think the assumption that England have magically got better while all other international teams have declined is both unfair to Southgate (if we have improved, it isn’t by accident) and also open to serious question (we have a majorly flawed and imbalanced squad in ways we didn’t before, and other teams still don’t).

No-one is drooling at the prospect of Southgate at the helm, certainly not me, but the assumption that our current squad has a divine right to international domination seems like classic English hubris to me.

 

[Nick]

Bowen did well then

 

[hamertime]

This result has stemmed from Southgate being a looser with no clue. He was a looser as a player and manager, took a premier league team to the championship then landed an England job. I can’t stand his stupid face.

 

[mark82]

Knowing Southgate he will start him in defence with Eric dyer

Eric Dier actually should be higher up the pecking order. Not that he's particularly great, but better than some of the others we're trying to force.

 

[SBT]

Taking off Mainoo?

Rarely goes 90 minutes for United. Just as well if he’s going to the Euros with us.

 

[mark82]

Still no Branthwaite. Toney been good tonight.

 

[Macca]

Bowen will feel he has done everything he can

 

[mark82]

Bowen will feel he has done everything he can

Yep, been good. He should be on the plane with Toney & Mainoo.

 

[Macca]

Yep, been good. He should be on the plane with Toney & Mainoo.

Not blessed with the skills of some of the others but tremendous drive and fitness

 

[Nick]

This is boring

 

[Liquid Gold]

Not sure stones can stay fit so we need more

We’re fucked at the back tbh

 

[Grendel]

Life without Kane is pretty shite in reality

 

[Nick]

Bringing on championship defenders just to take the piss
