You sure?

damn had you as second fav lol

His 1st foul was borderline GBH, deserved a red alone.

Wasn’t talking about first foul, do you really agree that second booking was correct?

 

[Rlburnside]

5 defenders, 2 holding midfielders and then Mount over Grealish, seems his default selection. Reputation over form as well

Been fun but time to bring in an actual manager

I thought Grealish should have started,
It’s terrible that over the years going right back to Tony Currie that players with skill are overlooked for workhorses.

Typical English attuide to football though

He runs around a lot he must be good.

Red card and a penalty. Two of Englands finest donkeys doing the side proud. To be honest the whole side look short of ideas

What was the penalty given for in your opinion?

Why wouldn’t it be ?! Studs on his ankle on the follow through

Under the current rules, absolutely.

His 1st touch was embarrassing, on a yellow card you don't make that challenge. World class defenders don't make that challenge.

Twice he was out of position and made 2 awful challenges. He's vastly overrated.

He clearly got all of the ball well before there was contact with his other foot, if you can’t tackle like that you might as well give up with football as a contact sport.

That sailed many years ago.

Poor decision but Pickford didn't need to be there and had he not done so there wouldn't have been an issue

Doesn’t matter - a player needs to be in control and understand where his foot will land and in this case studs on an ankle injuring the player - it’s a yellow card all day long

Well we will disagree with the sending off then?
Don’t know why you keep harping on about his first touch we all know it was poor, think we would all agree he’s not a world class defender but he does play for Man United so that explains that comment ?

I’ll ask again what was the penalty given for? Pickford position should have been irrelevant as he had nothing to do with the penalty

Walker kicking out, that’s the view the ref had, soft but......

England could do with Kane getting injured again. He’s pretty average and there’s no way that he is getting dropped by Southgate.

Saying that, the donkey will probably score off a corner or a penalty

 

[SteveW86]

What has Phillips been doing to warrant starting the last few games? Genuine question as I haven’t seen him play.

He has some scoring record for a donkey?. Daft post really

Pickford ?????????

 

[ger147]

Scotland win again. Played decent in the first half, camped in their own penalty box for the whole 2nd half but managed to hang on for another 1-0 win.

 

[Liverbirdie]

how hes anywhere near the England squad at the moment...

tbh he prob needs a mth away from football and the spotlight since his holidays, a red card in the prem at the weekend and he can

Maybe a week in Greece???
