Sounds as though McCarthy did his hamstring in towards the end of the game. Probably why Ward-Prowse dropped back to the goal line on the free kick.

So Southgate has used the increase to a 26 man squad to include 10 defenders and only 2 centre-forwards. Watkins can feel very aggrieved at missing out. Think we’ll be a dull watch.

Well, that goal really sums us up defensively. Shit defenders who lack awareness and an unconvincing goalkeeper.

🤣 It would seem that you're not that uncomfortable with it after all.

Perhaps people are sick and tired of actual racism being forced upon them from all angles 24/7. At least you have the option to ignore a gesture such as taking the knee if it annoys you.

Pressing the self destruct button again

Does any team make as many unforced errors as we do?

I blame the motivational videos...

We really are dense. Why take a goal kick long when your central defenders are standing on the edge of the six yard box - wave them up field before you kick it FFS.

Nope, you read that in to my post. I said if England were as clinical as Man Utd they would have scored more. The stats you quote back that up not disprove it.

So Man Utd were more clinical then...

If England were as clinical as Leicester or Man Utd were against us it would have been 9-0. Or 10-0. Or 11-0...

They’re finding even more elaborate ways to not score goals...

One of the U16s - midfielder - think he’s been involved with the England youth squads

Think there is a B team game tomorrow with a lot of the regular u18s. Looks like a very young side today.

Peter Walton “a late challenge by both players”. Dear God...

Checking it twice - desparate not to give us the goal

I think it must be Ings coming from an offside position to play the ball after Diallo is fouled - Mings has his arm up claiming it. Can’t see from that clip as they’re out of shot.

Full house on the pundit cliche bingo

Getting nothing from this ref tonight.

The ref is dreadful.

Let's see... ex pro footballer (tick); comfortable in front of the camera (tick); able to express an opinion (tick); minimal knowledge of teams outside the top six (tick). Seems to fill all the criteria of the modern football pundit. Unless there is something else you're alluding to?

Adams has been outstanding

Surprised by some of the criticism of Djenepo - thought he was excellent. Worked really hard to sprint and close down Traore quickly and help out Bertrand. He also shows good vision for a 'tricky winger' - he played a nice ball in the lead up to the goal, as well as setting Che up for a good chance with a beautifully weighted pass after cutting inside a couple of defenders. I think he's really playing for the team at the moment and provides enough flashes of inspiration to justify his selection.

Great freekick from Slattery, 1-1
