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.

Thing is CC, you have hit the nail on the head. Rice and Henderson screamed out don't lose. Drop one of them and put some creativity on. Bulgaria sat back. That was hardly going to be rocket science. The runners of Kane, sterling and Rashford were hardly going to be picked out by that midfield. Struggling to see the positives of two pens and defensive mistake.

You should be used to watching a team defend for 90mins and see how many you can score against them.
I got sick of it at the Reds ,but it’s the norm in modern football.

If Pep played fernandinho, Rodri and Delph against (insert said defensive team) he would be slated for it, and rightly so. Roy Keane said at half time, words along the line " they were Rammel" apart from sterling. Thing is it was GS that picked that team. We have the nightly unbeaten Kosovo on Tuesday. Watch this space.

Have a look at the squad and see where the creativity comes from if you do what you suggest?

Sancho will create, he is doing it for Dortmund. If he can play players who have four PREM games, have a look at Foden, he has played more than four. If that is our best middle three God help us. Am not knocking either of Rice or Henderson. But both in a team. It's like playing batty and Ince.

Yes agree but don’t think we have that creativity.

A point at home to Walsall is a good result. Don't tell me you backed us to win?

No, I'm not that stupid 😂Over 1.5 goals acca.

The bird from Skysports who was doing the updates said they could play til midnight tonight and they still wouldnt score 😁😁 one of those games I suppose.

Doesnt Sancho play in the front 3 at Dortmund?

I get your point but I dont think they've got enough quality in midfield to choose from.
 
I wouldn't say we won 4-0, I'd say Bulgaria lost 4-0! They shot themselves in the foot for three of them.

So many average players starting for us with better players left on the bench. I can only assume Southgate planned to rotate the team for the two games. Otherwise why would Trips, Rashford, Barkley be playing over Arnold, Maddison & Sancho?? And Henderson was simply a waste of space against this opposition. Added absolutely nothing to the team. We could have played someone a little more creative there.

Ouch....Grimsby missed a pen too 👎

I do a silly over 1.5 goals coupon every week, been close on a few occasions but never landed one. Today I was only waiting on colchester v walsall after 75 mins for £3k, gutted.

So to be fair, my lot didn't cost you £3k. Walsall also have to shoulder half the blame, or possibly more, if they can't manage to score against us.

I went down to a home match with my son, my brother and my dad last season. My brother had done two accas, one over 1.5 goals and one over 2.5 goals. The first one had come in and he was waiting on one game in the second bet. Luton (I think) then scored in the 97th minute to win that bet for him as well for close to £1k.
 
Fair play to Sterling. I have been vocal on here about his goalscoring return (something like 8 in 44 games) but he's on a great run and 15 in 52 (including friendlies) is a far better return and I hope he can continue in the same form. He's definitely found a new confidence in an England shirt and is far more clinical than he was. Whether Southgate has got something from him or its as a result of his form for City I am so pleased to see him playing so much better
