Henderson, Alexander Arnold, seriously and Burns looks like he will get skinned against a half decent nation. Fuck me this Tuchel makes Southgate seem like a genius tactician.
Because he was. It’s just that so many ignorant people think that the English players are better than they are in reality.
I said it during and after Euro 24: people will miss Southgate when he’s gone.

I definitely wouldn't class Southgate as a 'genius tactician'. Can you see a queue of clubs lining up to take him as manager?
No one thinks England players are better than they are, we simply know they are good enough. You don't get to a WC semi final, WC quarter final and 2 consecutive Euro finals in our last 4 tournaments if your players are rubbish.
We could quite easily line up with players from the below teams, and (Everton aside) these are not poor teams, they're amongst the best in Europe.
When you look at the games and tournaments that out top players play in all the time such as champion league, World Club tournament etc it’s hardly surprising that they aren’t exactly going to be busting a gut when playing Andorra infront of a few fans. Maybe for these games we should play a few fringe players who would hopefully use the games to show what they can do

This.
Should have played a B team & let the main players take a hard earned rest. If a B team (still made up of premier league players) couldn't beat Andorra then there is no hope for English football.
I’ve just read that England fans were chanting something about Keir Stamer…WTF is that all about?
After singing 'Starmer is a c***', some lad tried to get a 'On the charge with Farage' chant going. A woman in front of him turned round and went 'he's a total c*** as well!'
Most interesting thing that happened during the match

Only a 9/10 riposte.
Would have been a 10/10 if she’d used ‘n’all’ instead of ‘as well’.
It just seems a complete mess. If you don’t even care about these games, at least use people like Wharton over Henderson to get them involved and learn something
I had to leave on the hour to get the train back to London, but there are collective groans across the carriage as the news of the third comes in.
Saturday was a fcking shambles and tonight is just embarrassing. I don't get the squad selections and too many of the players don't seem arsed. Hopefully it's just from tiredness.
