I'd add that Mount and Grealish have created feck all...very underwhelming
Internationals September (World Cup Qualifiers)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Declan Rice is an abysmal footballer.....
They don't get trashed like San Marino do that much. Can remember a few times France only beating them 2 or 3 nil and been 0-0 at half time v England twice.
How's the Hansi Flick era going?
Will Germany score before half time.....Kane is dropping too deep
Grealish is just looking to be fouled. His passing has been bad.
Rice FFS!
Bellingham will surely be a starter by next world cup, I agree Southgate will cause issues if he keeps place with Phillips-Rice for too long and then decide it's too close to WC to make a change but needs to be done sooner or later.
I agree with that. Just look how far forward Phillips is playing. Could do with Bellingham or honestly just move Mount in there and bring on Saka, but we're just rehashing the same arguments from the summer aren't we.
There's the Germany goal. Werner.They don't get trashed like San Marino do that much. Can remember a few times France only beating them 2 or 3 nil and been 0-0 at half time v England twice.
How's the Hansi Flick era going?
His amateur dramatics where he flung his arms into the air, looked to the heavens and slowly fell to his knees after a foul was the most entertaining thing he's done so far
The decent thing he's come out with is that he'll review his position after the WC. We know how it's going to end
His antics are annoying now he is a City player.
Let be honest this England Hungary game is a bore fest. No shot on target, the free kick ballooned over the bar a few minutes ago was Hungarys only effort on goal. The crowd keeping themselves entertained anyway.
This is so boring.
He'll just bask in the limelight created by better players at City.
Bulgaria equalised against Italy.
True.
I have no idea what Mason Mount actually contributes to the attack. As far as I can tell (for England) he doesn't score, he doesn't create and he's there because...energy? Press?
Feels entirely unnecessary given the talent England have up front.

ITV said they'll be talking about a contract after November games.
Can see how it will play out. FA will give him new contract about two weeks before Qatar starts, England lose in last 16/QFs which given the last two will be massive disappointment and then endless speculation but FA won't pay him off.
Would love Hungary to score to bring some urgency to this game
I like how Kane is literally occupying spots a playmaker would and giving far better passes from there than either Rice or Phillips. Ffs, just put Bellingham on.
Poland back ahead. 2-1. Glik.
We're drawing at home against literal farmers ffs
Sack Mancio!!!!
Sack Mancio!!!!
Can't dispute any of that
We've struggled to create anything which is partially credit to Hungary being organised but also with how our midfield set up.
I don't particularly mind the midfield structure but in a game where we are dominating the ball, I don't think Mount as LCM and Philips as RCM is creative enough.

I said this during the summer. I’m sure he’s great for Chelsea but he’s a complete waste of a player for England. Runs around and contributes sod all in terms of numbers.
We could get away with him if we had a more creative duo in midfield, but we don’t. The midfield lacks goals.
Love watching Hungary for their kit. Hate watching them for their negative, pragmatic style of play.
I know that's how teams like them, Iceland, Finland, etc, are most likely to get results but I hate seeing such dull and cagey tactics rewarded.
Great kit though.

The midfield lacks any creativity. It's Southgate's Middlesboro all over.
I don't know why that is. He's so much more effective for Chelsea. He's been decent for England in the past but he was underwhelming in the euros [some extenuating circumstances granted but still] and he's been bang average tonight, along with the rest of the team.
Put England in there and you've got a full house
Sweden doing well against Spain, although Forsberg has wasted some decent opportunities. Isak very good.
Why are Keane and co pretending this isn't absolutely shit? Hayes says a draw would be a good result for England? Clueless.
Bulgaria showing character in Italy.
Despodov has been very brave, running at Florenzi all game, got the better of him two or three times.
Beautiful assist.

Why the feck is Keano trying to sound so positive about England? If this was Utd he'd be laying into us. Bullshit
Tuchel's system. It's pretty clear cut for him what he should be at doing Chelsea. There's less synergy with Ingerland, so his lack of creativity stands out more.
Mason Mount shouldn’t be in the team. Grealish should be tried as number 10.
Yeah that's probably what it is. He just looks a bit lost out there.
Goal made in Chelsea.
I don't recognise the Mount I see for Chelsea at all. Was the same in the Euros where Mount was the biggest disappointment for me. He looks like United Lingard out there.
