FIFA World Cup 2022 Group B ** spoilers ** (England, Iran, USA, Wales)

If England wore green:

Only the above is arguably more entertaining. It's awful to watch. Maguire and Stones have turned into the Chuckle Brothers - to me, to you.

I think Slabhead is having a good tournament?

So do I to be fair. More a dig at the amount of times him and Stones pass to each other.

Maguire was arguably man of the match for us tonight, him or Shaw probably. Thought Grealish looked bright when he came on too.

I do think the Sterling experiment needs to end, he doesn't track back at all and he's not offering enough going forward either.

I'd agree there. When he goes off he's fantastic, but it's not happening as often as anyone would like it to.

Does Foden exist? Does Gareth remember he's on the team?

I’d play Foden and Grealish over Mount and Sterling at the moment. Both having much better seasons And way more consistent.

Sterling is a waste of space. Does he just not like Foden, genuinely baffling

Trent appears to be there to keep the media happy that he actually got picked.

Does Foden exist?

He did when he was on for over half an hour in first game?

So why did Gareth decide to not bring him on tonight? What is the logic? He's one of the best young talents the team have got

 

[Shamikebab]

I don't understand why people are calling for Trent. He's defensively incredibly suspect, why would we bring him on in a game we're struggling in?

Gareth will be back to doing pizza hut ads after this WC

If we play France or Brazil we're going to get absolutely destroyed. What is Gareth's strategy going to be then?

If Gareth actually wanted to win tonight’s game he’d have been a good option. But Gareth seemed happy with a 0-0 from half time.

Five at the back, four holding midfielders and Harry Kane.

I think it's far more likely he would turn the game into a loss than a win. You want Trent in games where the opposition is on the back foot and we're struggling to break them down.

Let's be honest, the fact we didn't lose 1-0 tonight is a miracle.

Not really, it was a pretty even game. Both teams had a couple of good chances and both teams missed them.

So the usual Gareth strategy, which for every one game it works in, we lose or draw the next two.

We are going to get entirely pummelled, we've not played well enough since we got beaten in the Euros to do at all well this time around - and we only got there due to lucky draws.

France will pummel us
