Some more performances like tonight and the players will be on holiday next summer rather than playing tournament football in America.

Well, you can't take too much from that, other than the players cant really be arsed to be there, even the ones that still need to 'win' a place in the WC squad.
Results like that in meaningless friendlies are probably a good thing on the whole just to dampen the level of expectation a bit, and to expose some of the weaknesses and allow for tactical tweaks.

The boos we deserved England were shit another manager picking players based on the club they play for and not players in form picking toney and Henderson is a disgrace

Yes, the stats were in their favour first half with shots.
Even though I'm at the game, I'm glad that the cracks won't be papered over with the equaliser ruled out.
That won't be the story and it shouldn't be.
Time for the players and manager to own this. Andorra was dire and the defending tonight was non-existent. A reckoning is in order.

The way things are going, maybe we should just boycott it anyway

Most booed around me. And so did I. Deserved.
The only cheers were for local boy Gibbs-White from Forest fans.
Other than that, almost nothing.
Turns out Dean Henderson is significantly less effective when he's not allowed to handle the ball yards outside his area.
Who knew?

Thankfully we all have the Albion to focus on after the latest Ingerland debacle!

Lots to do before the transfer window shuts.

I thought the Tuchel interview, after a 1-3 defeat, was a long way from what was required.
He seemed to be complaining about decisions, rather than providing ideas on what to put right.

Excellent start by Tuchel. In 2 games he's weeded out a dozen - if not 20 - players he no longer needs to bother about calling up to his squad. Referee was incredibly weak for not telling VAR to get f*cked for the 'equaliser'; that alone is a good example of why we should ditch VAR - it incorrectly 'corrects' correct decisions - but Senegal's pressing was impressive and relentless. Thoroughly deserved win for them.

Three points dropped ?
Team ranked 19th in the world turned up to play football. England seemed to want to get it over and done with.
Can't really read anything into these friendlies. In fact, apart from Serbia home and away, and Albania away, they'll be nothing to read into nothing for some time.

Tournament winners almost always have a great defence, it’s often the key. Ange is sh1t at defence.
