Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[Papas1982]

Us getting to the semis was the worst thing for England in years.

Yet more awful footy. Complete lack of movement off the ball. All players taking 2 touches or giving it away first time.

I like Henderson for his energy but he should never start against no hopers where midfield is a walkover. As to TAA and Sancho being on the bench......

Let’s be honest that Semi Final hopefully will be looked at with a bit of perspective in regards the oppositions they faced , there is the old adage of can only beat who you face but as soon as they faced an opposition of any real quality they were outclassed and were unable to rely on set pieces.

Its showing how imo negative Southgate is

You are at home against a lesser nation yet have two of your best attacking outlets on the bench and play a defensive midfielder - can’t trust his backline, England will win no problems but these are the games to get players like Sancho and TAA to build understandings

Watford have sacked Garcia, laughable

Cup final and 11th in prem last year (and wouldve been higher if not focussed on cup final), sacked after 4 games this!

I totally agree. The run to that semi was more to do with the rubbish we faced than any prowess on our behalf.

Re the boring choices. It's England through and through unfortunately. We do it all the time. The amount of times we beat San Marino etc 4-0 whilst other teams win 8+. We always here the rubbish of "we respect everyone at intl level", etc.

That’s Watford - that’s 11 managers since 2010

The owner there has zero patience

Just got outta the bath ( I stunk), I wish I had stayed in the deep end. Now my managerial CV could be written on the back of a fag packet. Whippersnappers google it. But Sir Gareth, this is a shower of ***. Now I have not been in touch with Mother Earth for half an hour whilst ave been douching. But has Ebola stricken down the England team. Musta done. How the bloody hell does Barkley, Rice and Henderson play in the same team against the Brilliance of the magnificent footballing samba nation of Brazil. We will get ripped to bits, we need some creativity. Eh Missis T just told me its Bulgaria. BULGARIA, soddin Bulgaria at fortress Wembley. Sweet mother Mary and Jesus.
Conclusion. Lord Waistcoat has took a brown envelope Bung.

Come what may, it's a shower of ***. Am goin for a bath.

 

[USER1999]

Watfords owners are ruthless. I played with a Watford fan yesterday, and he called it. They have Arsenal and City next. They would still be bottom. Tough job.

Watford have brought back Flores 🤦‍♂️

 

[Lord Tyrion]

A manager of Watford could well be justified in looking for alternate employment whilst in the job on the basis that their stay at the club is inevitably going to be a short one. Jump before being pushed. Just saying 🤔🤣🤣🤣

 

[HomerJSimpson]

They must have been doing the deal for a while to get Flores back in and announce it so quickly which given the number of games played seems a very knee jerk reaction and gives the manager no chance to change things around

This 'shower of ***' happens to be winning 4-0, what's wrong with that?

I’ll reserve judgement for when we face a team with any class whatsoever......

Is that a serious question. Surely it's a joke

 

[Slime]

Why?
Is it because we don't play like Brazil did in 1970?

No it's because we were dire . Two holding midfielders .its 2019.

Fair enough, but we did win 4-0.
You also have to bear in mind the fact that we don't have very many international class footballers.
Lots of good players but very few world class players, possibly just one!

Isn't Henderson a box to box midfielder

I think no matter what team you put out .
If a team plays so negative as them it’s not easy.
Having said that they could have been 2-1 up at half time. If they had taken their two good chances.
Maybe that’s why GS put a holding midfield out.
Never seen all of it I fell asleep a couple of times.

Allegedly but they hardly got out their own half so halfway line to box really today.

Everyone’s an England manager.
