WTF?

Utterly stupid by Gomez

The_One · 5 Sep 2020 at 18:47

either corner and pickfords not getting it still say hes too small to ever be a top goalkeeper

The_One · 5 Sep 2020 at 18:48

WTF was that!

robfosters · 5 Sep 2020 at 18:48

OMFG!

Psycho Ned · 5 Sep 2020 at 18:48

Jesus what a pen.

McBain · 5 Sep 2020 at 18:48

He's Waddled it!! WOW!!!

Maundie · 5 Sep 2020 at 18:49

Shouldn’t have been a penalty in the first place but then again England’s wasn’t

robfosters · 5 Sep 2020 at 18:51

Let’s be honest though, if they did things properly and had VAR, we would have been winning since the 2nd minute.

Moothead2 · 5 Sep 2020 at 18:51

Awful game. Damn it Thor

McBain · 5 Sep 2020 at 18:53

Thats 88 minutes I won't be getting back. Poor performance, poor officiating.... overall poor.

Maundie · 5 Sep 2020 at 19:26

I can't imagine how deflated the whole of Scotland were when he missed the penalty, that at least consoles me a little after watching that poor excuse for a football game.

Forgot how many times Smith said not too worry as the players were a little rusty, didn't Iceland players have the same lack of practice or is it only an excuse we can use?

called it before the start. Now that the match has happened does anyone want to say if they think Southgate was right to start with Rice, Kane and Pickford?

McBain · 8 Sep 2020 at 19:01

Christ... Rice, Philips and Dier in midfield, that's a stretch even for Southgate. Have we ever fielded a more defensive minded midfield? Glad Philips is getting a game, but not sure how he thinks we're creating anything with that midfield. Why no Grealish? Why no Mount?

Can't understand how Dier keeps getting a game, he's absolutely gash whether that's midfield or defence.

Edit: Sky think its a back 3 with Trent and Trippier as wide midfielders. Not convinced we will line up that way, either way im not seeing why Rice and Philips in midfield instead of one of them with someone more attacking.

Chilwell and Maddison getting crocked has hurt England as well as Leicester I guess.

ik9000 · 8 Sep 2020 at 19:23

what really hacks me off is sticking with Pickford. Is there anyone on here who would do the same? I'm happy to have a debate, but I just don't see how he is a better option than Pope?

The_One · 8 Sep 2020 at 19:25

And yet again no grealish!!

No chance, he'd arguably not even be in the squad for me.

This game worries me, Beligum might've beat Denmark but they were well in the game and are no duds by any stretch. We are going to need Sancho, Kane and Sterling to be bang on it if we're going to win.

It’s just stupid. That’s Southgate for you though.

edit : what was he doing there?!

Wouldn't have him near the squad

This is duller than ditchwater. Roll on Saturday!
