    I must confess to being worried about this game. We look so poor atm and I fear for us if we go behind.

    Genuinely had to remind myself who Livramento, Rogers and Madueke are in that line up. Didn't even know who Anderson was or who played for until the last game.

    This line up feels like something Graham Taylor used to pick back in the 90's. Think we may actually lose tonight.
  • 3 wide men ?  at least he left out Rashford.  Have no confidence in TT at all.
    1 - 0 defeat.

    Still not convinced by Tuchel...but comes across well in interviews. Think keeping Madueke in is the right thing - exciting player that takes a few risks and has some pace!

    Be interesting to see how differently we do against Serbia tonight, compared to the Euro 2024 opener.

    That day we struggled to break them down in the First Half, and then they dominated in the second. Its probably the first opposition we've come up against in the last 12-months where we can see the true difference between Southgate and Tuchel.

    Other than the Senegal friendly of course.

    I’m so far out of touch, until yesterday I though we were playing Denmark and only from this thread have learned it’s a WC game

    Making a special award to a player who will receive his 100th cap only if he comes off the bench seems a bit odd. 
  • The smallest mascot look like he's got his Dad's kit on bless him.
  • A lot of those English mascots seem to know the words to the Serbian national anthem

    He's already reached 100.

    Oh, I thought tonight was due to be his 100th. In that case, it's perfectly reasonable!

    Probably taking the chance that he's coming on tonight against the greatest nation on the planet, as opposed to give it to him if he comes on against Latvia

    Could they have put the camera any further away from the pitch?

  • That free kick was something to behold. Took an absolute age. I'm surprised Pickford didn't get involved with the discussion

    Goal. Fair play to the England fans who’ve gone to Serbia. I wouldn’t dare.

    Kane ❤️ 
  • Shocking marking... How can you leave one of the best Strikers in the world so unopposed in the box?

    Thats why you never leave out Kane though
