I don't think Jack has let me down. Put a shift in. Rashford not fit to clean his boots

You win.

 

[AmandaJR]

Defensively we're doing a great job of making ordinary teams/players look good.

Yes but City have coached out of him taking his man on .
He’s more than capable.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Don’t really want an out and out winger.
But take him on once or twice give him something to think about.

That’s not the way Palmer works and Walker was doing that but Palmer didn’t release him at all

Agreed. Comes back inside 99% of the time.

 

[clubchamp98]

That’s why I would question his playing that position.
Seems to do it ok for Chelsea.

100% he never went down the line once.
But works for City but England don’t have their movement.

 

[PaulMdj]

A wins a win I suppose.

 

[clubchamp98]

Wins a win but still so many questions?

He’s only there because Saka is out. With that formation he’s struggling to get in the starting 11 as is Foden.

Yes agree.
But Madauke was miles better just play him and stop putting square pegs in round holes

Without realising it, you are 100% correct - but you forget that there are more than 1 team in this country called United. Webb is a Rotherham Utd fan - up the millers

My comment was very tongue in cheek but that made me chuckle..

 

[Slime]

A wins a win I suppose.

Yeah, but it'd be nice to do it with a touch of style.

 

[clubchamp98]

Is Grealish practicing to be a ventriloquist his lips hardly move when talking.

 

[Tashyboy]

Yep. I’m so bored I’ve retreated to the kitchen to slave over a hot stove and a cold can of Thatchers.

Keep me updated…..

Fortunately I was an hour in front of you in the kitchen. Just sat down hoping it would go to extra Time

 

[Tashyboy]

Watkins just did and we scored.
Might be something in it

Must of read this thread at half time

England have a massive issue (and have for decades) that rather than playing the best team they try to play the best players

We saw at the euros trying to squeeze Bellingham and foden together when playing Gordon on the left would have made us a better "team" but we have this problem that we can't leave "stars" out the line up

 

[Tashyboy]

Odd how I mentioned the other day England need experience and the three players I mentioned got a game. Shame Etc didn’t get on as well

Maybe a foreign manager might

It’s a big problem why managers do this.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Thought England played a lot better tonight

Certainly better shape and some very good passages of play

Two changes needed and think they have a good team

Saka in for Palmer , a proper left back and then TAA or Walker right back depending on oppo and what CB’s
