The Road to World Cup 2026 and UEFA Nations League

[Tredman]

Henderson?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Playing a bad RB at LB too, Euro 2000 vibes.

Pretty much none of these will play in the summer mind. Slab maybe, he likes Rashford and Tino if Reece James breaks again.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Jimmy Garner has earned his spot mind. Been excellent for Everton

He and Spence were Forest 's best 2 players the year they came up, just taken them time to find that level elsewhere

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Spence is a quicker Doherty, I've got no time for him

 

[Jinky]

Madueke is far too predictable at this level. Always wants to constantly cut back. Just knock it past your full back and get the cross in once in a while, Noni.

Same on the other side with Spence. Doesn’t want to cross it with his left foot. Means everything becomes far too predictable.

Side note - how the fuck does Lee Dixon keep getting these gigs? Boring, boring bastard.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Dixon isn't the problem, it's Boobies Matterface.

Spence is shite.

 

[Jinky]

Dixon isn't the problem, it's Boobies Matterface.

Both shite.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Nope (I quite like Dixon other than him saying "tattle" instead of tackle but that's by the by)

The main commentator sets the tone. Look at the difference in Lawrenson when Motson semi-retired and now there wasn't someone inanely chuckling at his "jokes" every 30 seconds.

If you put Alan Partridge without the humour behind the mic then you will not have a good co-commentator whatever happens.

Yeah I'm not sure Spence is adding much here, Rashford is looking decent and has little support from him when needed.

He's a bad right back at left back and I've seen this film before.

Odd that he's the first England manager to ostracise Shaw but it's in a season where he's played literally every single league game for United.

 

[Jack Regan]

Took Dixon 29 minutes to utter the standard England football cliché of "need to move the ball quicker".

Dixon sounds like he’s being held hostage every time he’s on comms. Utterly, utterly miserable.

Followed by "there haven't been any long balls over the top or into the channels"

 

[sycophantia]

Pretty turgid at times. England seem so slow thinking and reacting.
Rashford the pick of the bunch has had some really good moments.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That is an awful tackle/tattle. Straight out of Uruguay 1986

 

[Jack Regan]

Proper Uruguayan tackle that

 

[jd1981]

Yeah this ref is bit of and idiot

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Ben Orange being booed on is the highlight of the evening

 

[Kenny]

No booing now though
