England v Poland (Wed)

[BFC_53]

Just terrible.

 

[Tangojoe]

John Stones is having a great season but always contains a big mistake somewhere in there. I'd rather he made it now than in the knockout games.

Can't say I didn't tell you

 

[Wizaard]

Norman Hunter 1973 all over again.

 

[CompleteControl]

Pope flapped at the shot.

 

[ElBurroSinNombre]

We should be out of sight already

 

[1950`spoolfan]

A good test now.Are they up to it?

 

[Tangojoe]

Pope flapped at the shot.

There was nothing Pope could have done

 

[Wizaard]

The other echo of 73 is that our goal was a penalty.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

How many times do you see goals given away from defensive mistakes?

 

[20togo]

Pope flapped at the shot.

Think it was unsaveable but with regards Pope he is so uncomfortable with the ball at his feet and for their goal even though it was 100% Stones fault the ball from Pope was a bit behind Stones requiring two touches of which the second gave the ball away.

 

[Mark_GT]

We've been pretty awful this half. Southgate needs to make a tactical change.

 

[Hoppo]

This ITV commentary team are dull

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Germany have just equalised, against North Macedonia!

Qualifiers are weird and Stones is always a mistake waiting to happen.

 

[rememberlesshannon]

Aside from the actual football, it appears top Dutch refs are a million times better than ours

 

[PNENIL]

Obviously Stones fault but the ball from Pope was poor and I don't know what shape he was pulling to try and save it. Modern goalkeeping has me baffled sometimes.

 

[Dumfriestangerine]

Scotland 3-0

 

[20togo]

they look the more dangerous now

 

[Tangojoe]

Think it was unsaveable but with regards Pope he is so uncomfortable with the ball at his feet and for their goal even though it was 100% Stones fault the ball from Pope was a bit behind Stones requiring two touches of which the second gave the ball away.

Pope's a better keeper than Pickford, but his left foot is so bad it makes you wonder what Dyche does with him in training all day.

 

[Dumfriestangerine]

Scotland 4-0

 

[Wizaard]

Why is Kane out wide and no one in the box?

 

[Tangojoe]

Anyone think the ref is good? We have so many crap refs it's good to see one let the game flow.

 

[Insider]

This ITV commentary team are dull

It's tough not being dull when the match is dull.

 

[Mark_GT]

Kane's been rubbish tonight. Why does he insist on dropping so deep? Hopefully that will prompt a 30 yarder in the top corner.

 

[PNENIL]

Scotland 4-0

When's the DVD out?

 

[Levi501]

Well done Foden.

 

[Triumph]

Kane's been rubbish tonight. Why does he insist on dropping so deep? Hopefully that will prompt a 30 yarder in the top corner.

Probably thinks he’s as good as Sir Stanley Mathews or Sir Tom Finney, thick cockney git !

 

[NewburyOne]

John Stones is a liability, there is no other word for him. It's OK being behind Man City's midfield but the lad just lacks the ability to do the basics of defending.

It's a challenge for us now to win a game we should have been coasting. So frustrating just like many previous England performances.

 

[20togo]

that should have been a right foot on that free kick

 

[Mark_GT]

Southgate seems to have no idea how the change things. Not great.

 

[20togo]

does Southgate not know what to do?

 

[Memphisboy]

It’s games like this where you miss the England band in full volume dragging the lads over the line.

 

[Tangojoe]

He looks immaculate every week for City. Head and shoulders above every centre back in England, but you know at some point there's a cock up there.

 

[CompleteControl]

Mount has been very quiet in the second half.

 

[Thelaneends1]

We've been pretty awful this half. Southgate needs to make a tactical

does Southgate not know what to do?

Southgate is clueless.

 

[Mark_GT]

I would personally put hte England band in a sealed container and sail them out to sea.

 

[Mark_GT]

Even if we get out of this we've been really poor tonight. Complete tactical inertia from Gareth Southgatebadger.

 

[1950`spoolfan]

No subs.Southgate misleading from the back!

 

[Sooty59]

Fresh legs should have been brought on about 10 minutes ago

 

[Triumph]

Southgate settling for a draw.

 

[Levi501]

Yes!

 

[Tangojoe]

Get in. Brilliant assist from STONES

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Goal, our Gareth knows what he’s doing so leave him alone.

Have faith in the manager that’s why he’s in there doing the job and not on here moaning.

 

[Mark_GT]

Pleased for Stones.

 

[20togo]

wow great finish

 

[Sooty59]

Great strike

 

[TimperleyTangerine]

does Southgate not know what to do?

He started talking 20 minutes ago, still no sub.

He is so boring in his selection / approach. Calvin Phillips and Declan Rice, do we really need that?

Looks like he’s out of jail again, good finish.

 

[Wizaard]

Good knock down and great strike.

 

[Levi501]

Well done Foden

 

[PNENIL]

Everything's ok again now.....

 

[Sooty59]

Defenders shots usually go into orbit but that was a cracker.
