25/26 - Non Saints Games

"Jersey" .. fk off.

I think Tuchel's done a very decent job as manager so far, but don't really get the selection tonight. I know it's a friendly so experimental, but Spence, Solanke, Henderson, Calvert-Lewin? Surely it's obvious these guys will/should be nowhere near selection for the WC finals squad so why pick them?

Calvin Lewin showing why he was released by Everton and ended up at Leeds.

My son is at Wembley tonight with his school football team, feel sorry for them, that is utter trash, bar Rashford. NEVER let Foden take another corner/free kick. Awful, playing too close, balls bouncing off the players rather than being controlled, misplaced passes, being out-muscled, not shouting, ugh, fkn ugh.

We’re in London this weekend and was tempted to go, glad we didn’t!

How can you VAR that and not the Foden challenge 😅

Games gone, ludicrous pen. Just another reason not to bother watching this summer 👍🏼

Glad I'm boycotting the world cup. Shambles all round.

To give them a chance to show why they should be?

People used to criticise the England squad for being a bit of a closed shop now people are criticising for giving fringe players a chance 😂

I suspect the knows 90% of the squad but maybe unsure about a few others. 
 

whats happened to Phil Foden looks a shadow of the player he was 3 years ago

I'm all for trying players but the ones I mentioned have been around for some time and we know enough about them to know they aren't players who will challenge to be in a World Cup winning side. In my opinion of course! Happy to see the likes of Trafford and Livramento getting a chance.
