[Football] England vs Senegal

[Cordwainer]

Definitely the logical objective thing to do.

But, it sticks in my throat we had a plan with Southgate, promoting from within the England setup, and whatever we say about Southgate, and I for one hated his cautious approach, he got us within touching distance of winning.

All that planning and succession appears to have gone out of the window again though and we’ve just gone with a name who has won a couple of things on a short term contract with no real investment in what the job is other than it being a big job to him.

Long term success surely results from careful investment and planning at all levels of the England set up..it’s how France and Spain have achieved sustained results. Am assuming that was the FA’s plan until Carsley went off plan experimental with no striker gate. Look at how Wales have been playing under Bellamy..I’d much rather a couple of seasons of that with loses, but building a strong identity and playing style, rather than TT efforts to date. Let’s hope he’s still weeding out the chaff and it all comes good in 12 months time..

Exactly, that's why the appointment of Tuchel is completely bizarre.

They didn't even speak to Howe

On a positive note the Senegal left back could do a job if Pervis is off.

And that's what you get when you play Palace players.

Indeed! Man of the Match!
