    Nico O’Reilly serves no purpose in this setup other than clogging the pitch. 

    I’d love to hear what he’s been trying to do these last 3 games

    Rashford, Kane & Noni are putting in hall of shame performances

    Purely in the squad for two headers in the Carabao Cup final

    So Trent Alexander Arnold is a worse defender than we’ve got out there?, crazy squad decisions are biting us in the arse

    Give it early Bellingham ffs
    The problem is that he isn't as good as he thinks he is. Spends too much time posing on the ball.

    Look how fucking easy this is when we drive the byline. 

    It is so so so so simple.

    Dr Congo defending better than England.

    My Arsenal supporting friends view of Madueke is that he has some skill but very little end product. They were amazed he was being selected to start for England.

    Tuchel wasted the friendlies and warm ups with too.much experimentation rather than finding a settled side and then picked a squad seemingly based on character rather than ability.  We need game changers and too many are sat at home.

    Might be a pivotal moment this. 

    England finally realise that driving at the opponent causes chaos.

    If it’s deliberate by Tuchel, then he needs to change it, but Madueke showing zero defensive responsibility. 

    I hoped Madueke might show up better in the way England were, supposedly, going to play but it was hope, not expectation. As it is, he’s been the most baffling selection of all. Im sure he wasn’t supposed to be relied on this much and Saka has been less available than expected, but him being a bit shite is hardly a surprise because there was very little in his season with Arsenal to suggest he’d be any different. 

    England have mostly got over the “select them because they play for a big club” mentality, but no way Madueke gets selected if he’s playing for Brighton or someone.

    Fuck sake... Every time it goes out to Madueke he tries to take the shot when we've countless options lined up in the box!!
