Sort of thing you could imagine only Charlton being able to achieve

Unfortunately Republic of Ireland are suffering from the FAI years of corruption.
They’re now skint and Kenny is what they’ve ended up with.
He was never going to be good enough.
If he goes, it’ll be someone else of the same ilk I’m afraid.0 -
England Team: Pope, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw, Phillips, Rice, Mount, Sterling, Foden, Kane. #ALBENG

Like it ALL apart from Phillips AND Rice
No need for both vs Albania
We need to impart our game on them2 -
Only change i'd make would be JWP for Phillips0

I'd have gone BellinghamCafcTeckers said:Only change i'd make would be JWP for Phillips
He's more of an all rounder
Henderson comes in when fit
Then Rashford, Grealish, Sancho....
Decisions decisions!2 -
England lining up as if we're playing France or something.
Its Albania, would it kill Southgate to try and play entertaining football with an extra attacking player?0 -
Philips? I don’t know what Southgate sees in him.1

Would be a fantastic game for Bellingham. Shame we’ve gone 2 DMs but the rest looks solid.4

We've not won a major tournament in 55 years playing defensively. Cannot see France or Portugal playing 2 DMs vs Albania!0

Reading these comments I think people are being a bit disrespectful to Albania. Genuinely no mugs.
Should we win the next 2 games then we are in a strong position. A loss away to Poland would still leave us a point clear of them. Just need to beat Hungary away as remaining matches will be mere formalities.2 -
Good thing Albania were in France’s group for Euro 2020 qualifying... Last game of qualifying in November 2019, France played with three centre backs and two holding midfielders.supaclive said:We've not won a major tournament in 55 years playing defensively.

My main issue with us playing two defensive midfielders is that we're just so boring to watch. Lots of possession football 30 yards out from goal with little end product. It's boring.1 -
Yes, having already qualified!!!SELR_addicks said:

A rousing rendition of the national anthem! Can’t wait until fans are back in the stadiums...0

Doesn’t feel right listening to the opposition National anthem without booing throughout it.se9addick said:A rousing rendition of the national anthem! Can’t wait until fans are back in the stadiums...3 -
You can still do that from home, don’t let this pandemic stop our important cultural traditions!SouthWest_Addicks said:

Phillips gives us nothing2

Fair play to Albania. 2 solid banks of 4 and pressing our CBS relentlessly.
Thats exactly how you beat us.0 - Sponsored links:

Gotta say this is useless so far.If Southgate doesn’t know that two DMs doesn’t work with this squad he never will.
Slow, turgid football.3 -
It's weird as we played some really decent quick, attacking football during the Nations League but seem to have gone backwards since and are playing more defensively against lower ranked teams than the good teams in the NL.1
-
2 against 5 in the box every time.
No one stepping up from midfield.0 -
This is going to be a very boring 2-0 win.
We'll ignore how average and boring we look, then act shocked as we get knocked out early in a major tournament.
It's the same cycle England go on every single tournament other than 2018.0 -

We can't and won't beat the top teams set up like this.0 -
Phillips IS so poor at this level

This pitch is playing so slowly, grass is far too long. Same for both teams though so no excuses0
-
This kicking thing is going to stop Pope claiming the jersey in the long run isn’t it?1
-
Can’t help feeling an England player is going to get robbed of the ball in a dangerous position at some point.0

Has he passed forward yet? Absolutely zero drive. Terrible selection.supaclive said:Phillips IS so poor at this level0
