September Internationals

[Graz]

Anyone know why Tielemans isn't even on the bench for Belgium? I assume he was in the squad?

Castagne is on the bench

I found the answer to my own question

 

[Speedy1]

Funny how Grealish got a start tonight now he's a Man City player...

 

[Jeff]

Two goals for Nacho tonight.

Ooohh yeaaaa. Nacho Man.

Just seeing the England game - It just happens to be on, I wasn't going to go out of my way to watch us against the Mighty Andorra - and it's terrible.

No-one is willing to do anything. To me – to you passing. No-one daring to do anything, no-one running! Every pass (and there are hundreds of them) is to the players foot. He stops the ball and passes it 20 yards in the same manner. Why doesn’t someone pass the ball ahead of the player so they can actually run into space?

Rubbish performance.

It reminds me of some Prem team that isn’t playing well I think.

They’ve just brought on a bloke who looks about 56.

I was lucky. Didn't know it was on and switched channel from the very exciting Test Cricket in the same instant the ref blew to end the game.
Blessed relief!

Lingard did well. Not that that says a lot, given the opposition.

The England plan seems to be along the lines of ‘If you have the ball the other team can’t score’ (Was that Brian Clough that said that?). Andorra would/should never score against us!

Yes, they tried to have 10 men behind the ball but no-one in the England team seemed to want to risk something. We all know that I’m not actually an International football manager so I don’t know what I’m talking about, I would just like some entertainment in the game but hey-ho, we won 4-0 so job done. That’s all that matters. Don’t entertain, Andorra might score.

Yep. Dull as dishwater, but what can you do?

I don't care if we're playing anstey nomads, I don't understand the idea of giving caps to shite players from Wolves and Leeds just to be charitable and to please the big clubs that the first team players belong to. Surely you should use every opportunity to make sure your first team is used to playing with each other with a specific determined system?

 

[Brown Nose]

Not watch it and not pay for tickets for it. 88% possession apparently. Fecking embarrassing calling it a football match. That Robbie Williams wank last night was probably a better game.

I was waiting for a bit of Mortimer and Whitehouse, so put it on.

Castagne is on the bench

Youri and Timmy both starters tonight.

Now that's proper international football. Total anarchy.
