American fans could do with adding another song or two to their repertoire.

That's fucking ridiculous. That's a penalty but the assault on Maguire in the first half wasn't? Really???

He can read OK, but he struggles with books cos of his T-rex arms. And that's 4-0. Who was it that doesn't rate Saka?

No sign of that so far. England still piling on the pressure. Looks like only a matter of time before we score again.

Yeah, on goal difference

Very unusual technique from Sterling to finish that.

Good that we've now got a genuine good reason to sing Hey Jude.

So he's gone from being OK to continue to needing a stretcher in under 2 mins. If he's got a serious concussion then heads should roll, and being that it's Iran they probably will.

Get off the fucking pitch man!

Oh FFS.

Stupid. If a player is down for that long with a head injury, there's no way he should be allowed to continue.

Seems the VAR ref is just as corrupt as the decision to award this WC to Qatar. How can you look at a replay of Maguire being rugby tackled to the ground and conclude that's not a penalty?

Wearing Sand Island clobber?

Seems pretty obvious to me that they knew they wanted to replace him some time ago and were waiting for the right candidate to become available before ditching him. Given the noises about us being in contact with Jones/Luton for some time, and him not believing the timing was right in the summer, it looks like they were trying to keep some stability rather than leaving a caretaker in charge while they got their ducks in a row.

Could have been worse I suppose. NJ will have learned a few lessons from that at least - like using a back 3 doesn't work for us, and that A Arma is not a PL striker. 2nd half performance was much improved and we created a few decent chances. Play as well as that or better for the rest of the season, and sign a striker that won't panic every time he gets in shooting positions, and I reckon we could be alright.

As long as we sign someone in January that's capable of burying the kind of chances we have created, yes I agree.

Oh no. Lavia injured again?

Oh that's unlucky for Che. Superb save from Allison.

Looking better since the subs. Good save to deny Edozie.

Oh Moi. Got to do better with chances like that.

What is 'Operatiomn Anfield Exercise"?

Walcott and Edozie coming on.

Oh Adam. A really good move there and the defender slipped to give him a clear shot, but he just fluffed it completely - again.

Fuck. Forest are winning.

We're just chasing shadows.
