Oh dear.
Internationals March (Euro Qualifiers + Friendlies)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
What a finish!!!
Actually, forget that.
Terrible defending from Keane

Welp thats what you get when you dont pick your best defenders
Poor and inexperienced England side getting punished - no idea why he has picked that team - screams arrogance to me.
Really? Wasn't a hard finish imo
Well I thought we were spending too much time fannying about.
You've got to be kidding me 
Whjat a fecking goal take that!@
Michael Keane
Would be a real shame to have some decent centre backs in there..
Michael Keane 
What is the world's best national team doing there?
I like Southgate but I've said it before.
His refusal to pick Smalling, and instead picking shite like Keane is just baffling.

Not allowed, he hates England's best defender.
Meh. We're going to qualify from this group easily regardless. Still think we'll win tonight.
Keane and Tarkowski over Smalling is criminal but im sure Southgate knows best
You look at how crap Everton's defence has been all season and England have 2 of their back line starting. Keane is awful.
The best center-backs are injured.
England always look shite against Montenegro away
He means Smalling
The best center back is Smalling and he's sat at home.
Of course you will, they won't be able to keep your attack out for 90 mins.
This is ridiculous. I've never seen time wasting like this and we're in the 15th minute
It's not even up for debate.
Smalling is twice the defender Keane is.

What a shock - dodgy Kante foul = no card
Joe Gomes will walk back into that team. John Stones is better than Keane as well.
Who else should he have picked? There's a fair few injuries.
Smalling can't pass for shit and for some reason Gareth wants players that can pass at the back.
No question about that. They should probably be the starting defenders.
Question is how does Keane / Tarkowski get ahead of Smalling? Arguably even Maguire for me.
Is Keane that much better on the ball?
And when it comes to actual defending Smalling is twice the player Keane is.
He is playing a kid who hasn't even started for his club yet - absolutely insane stuff for an away International against a reasonable opponent. That's England stuff of old and it's really not good.
Southgate is probably wants his CB to play a certain way and he said Smalling can't. He would need to swallow his pride to pick Smalling again.
Wheres Stefan Jovetic for this Montenegro these days? Injured?
I would have kept Sancho in.
I know Smalling's passing can be shit but even LVG could put that aside. Southgate's refusal to get past this is weird.
Speculation at best. Since when did Michael Keane become such a ball playing defender?
Keane can play ball.
Who should play instead of Hudson-Odoi?
