    Anyone else start singing, ‘tease me tease me’ every time they mention the Greek keeper?

    Wow. Gibbs-White assisting Curtis Jones shows the depth we have in midfield.

    Harry Kane is an England legend but can't close down as well as Watkins so we need to get possession back.
    No but any relieve of pressure he’s the best in the world. 

    I agree about Harry but coming on as Sub when the Greeks are tired wasn't such a bad shout.

    Excellent 3rd goal by Curtis Jones 0-3 and at least it will keep the England critics off the thread for once !

    So if we are level on points is it decided by H2H or traditional GD?

    If we beat Greece 1-0 its GD, as we'd both have won against the other by one clear goal - Because we're beating them by more than that, its H2H

    So we just have to equal Greece's result Sunday. Nice. Although I suppose even if it was GD they would have to score 4 if we both won.

    It's one thing taking the Piss out of Charlton players Billy mix but Ollie Watkins fails to control one pass and he's Dartford standard 😂
    At least having someone up front who didn’t piss away all the possession didn’t impact English fortunes 🤪🤡

    I mean it’s a risky move when you need to win 2-0 but hats off, I think our transitional passing was the best I’ve seen in ages.

    You are the most consistent poster on CL 😄
    I didn't expect you tonight as no England player played poorly but you found your normal narrative with Ollie Watkins.

     Did you think the rest of the team played well ?
    Don't answer if it ruins your reputation that you have honed 🤔

    Pickford was on form and thank Christ he was
    Jones improved throughout 
    Bellingham showed just enough of his otherworldly class
    Gibbs-White and Bowen clearly understood they had their moment in the spotlight and both took their chances to impress 
    nobody else was more than adequate

    You don’t think Gallagher or Lewis played well?

    Geuhi cemented himself as our best centre back. 

    Greece are a massively inform team and made us look like shit at home, I think we turned up and people took their chance. 

    Massively critical of our selection before the game but undoubtedly our best performance of the nations league.

    So we have the World Cup, the Euros, now the UEFA nations league, lucrative end of season tours for some Premier clubs, lucrative pre season tours for most premier clubs but they say they don't want replays in the FA cup possibly denying lower division clubs another pay day because we play too much football.

    Top performance. Same team for Sunday and then consider the future of the “injured” players after that. Much as I am a fan of some of them.

    On the way back to my hotel now. Really enjoyed that. Very professional performance in a game that had all the makings of a banana skin. 

    I’m a big fan of what the Nations League represents, and it was nice to have a non-tournament match that felt like it had some stakes in it.

    Don't think it can be as Konsa had a knock.
    Despite not having any problems with the starting 11 tonight, Harry Kane should start on Sunday and Watkins comes on around 65/70 minutes this time.

    Also will the impressive Livramento make his debut at RB with his team mate Hall at LB ? Wouldn't it be good if Guehi finally goes to Newcastle at the end of the season to join Livramento and Hall and the talented Gordon 🤞🏻

    Decent performance overall I thought. Pickford a legend, Gallagher a future England captain.

    Greece lacked quality in the final third but we're aggressive and got on the front foot quickly. Classy 3rd goal from us to finish it off.

    Sorry to hear stories of England fans getting teargassed on the way in. Was no trouble from us, but the stadium is a shambles to get into and they caused a bottleneck an hour before KO

    Gives Tuchel something to think about when he takes over. A lot of 'senior' players missing and we put in our best performance of this Nations League campaign.

    Obviously i fully expect most of the senior players to come back in but at least it means the players who pulled out should at least know they need to up their game plus if he didn't know it already, Tuchel now knows he has some incredible strength in depth.

    Really enjoyable performance. 

    Have accepted a long time ago that unless you are in the stadium the moment it opens, then you will have an issue getting in the ground when going to an England away match.
