Makes Ireland's draw in Luxembourg look good
Just have no pattern of play at all, no obvious objective which leads to lots of pretty ponderous passing about.
The same man who oversaw a 4-1 thrashing at home by Hungary?
There's a pretty ominous problem on the horizon with Harry Kane probably being good for just one more major tournament. There's nobody who comes close to replacing him out of the current poolI mean I don’t particularly care but it feels to me like there’s a lot of substandard players getting England caps more recently. Chalobah and Madueke I’m really not feeling, Gallagher feels miles off every time he plays, not massively sold on Curtis Jones albeit he’s had an ok season.
Friendlies are the chance to have some fun and experiment. Quite why Southgate and now Tuchel used it to just continue trotting out the same old shit I don't understand
The suggestion on the main forum that Lampard could be the next permanent England manager really isn't that silly. If he manages to take CCFC to another top 6 finish or better, the FA could do worse.If anything, he needs to find a consistent team that he can rely on to win games. This is a petty example, but playing Jones at RB v Andorra is pointless. At least when Southgate played Trent at CM, he intended to actually play him there in a major tournament (which failed ofc).
Tuchel talks a good game, let’s see how he handles the grilling of the media. The pressure will be on.
The FA must have Carsley in mind as a potential replacement for Tuchel in an emergency situation. He had one blip v Greece where he experimented but the other performances were convincing.
Probably the same reason CCFC played that random friendly in Germany last summerI just don't see why weve even played it .. players want to go on holiday , weve no tournament .. just pointless after the Andorra game

Still so triggering, even today…He lost at home to Iceland almost a year ago .. a team even worse than this mob
Aren't they all going to the club world cup?I just don't see why weve even played it .. players want to go on holiday , weve no tournament .. just pointless after the Andorra game
Ffs really , what a crock of shitAren't they all going to the club world cup?

Watching shite performances for the best part of 2 years is pretty triggering yesStill so triggering, even today…
And I believe it was 4-0!
Yeah well the teams who are in it.Ffs really , what a crock of shit

I think that Lampard would be a good fit and has excellent coaching staff he can call upon. The main issue is his tactical inflexibility which remains to be resolved.If we get promoted, absolutely.
I genuinely think Carsley would be good manager at international level. If TT didn’t stay beyond the World Cup, he should have a crack at it full time.
As a whole, I’m not convinced elite club managers make the best international managers. Objectively, Tuchel was the best manager available, but it feels like we’ve taken a step backwards from the Southgate era already.

Wasn’t the Hungary game played behind closed doors?I’ve never left a football game so disgusted. I nearly left early at 2-0 to make an earlier train that day and regret not doing so…
Look, we’ve got a world class manager now… the only way he improves on Southgate is if he wins something. The bar is set that high now.
I just hope we don’t get to next summer regretting that the fans and press chased Southgate out of the job.
Fast energetic football does work at international level too , the idea boring football is the only way to success at international level is absolutely not trueI think that Lampard would be a good fit and has excellent coaching staff he can call upon. The main issue is his tactical inflexibility which remains to be resolved.
Tuchel clearly deserves time to show what he can do but more mind numbingly tedious football leads me to think Southgate may as well have stayed.

bore off billy no matesStill so triggering, even today…

In fairness , it wasnt England's best 11 and it was a new system
We have to hope this is why
