[Football] October 2020 International Matches

[Steve in Japan]

Why the **** is there 3 international games during this break? The players don’t even really celebrate scoring in this ‘league’ either, it’s like the League cup of the international game.

Every time I try and understand the Nations League and why it's important, my head starts nodding and before you know it, I'm sparko. Every time.

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Southgate is so shit. It’s incredible to think he’s England manager. If the Albion made him our U23s manager I’d be disappointed.

Gareth Southgate - the Joe Biden of football management, is that really the best we could come up with

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Having watched Bournemouth defend last season, at lease Maguire and Dier would feel right at home.

Same sort of set up really - decent forward and awful defenders.

 

[Weststander]

Used to like Martin Tyler.

Now so depressing, non stop motor mouth (not needed in TV commentary).

 

[Stat Brother]

Look on the bright side at least slabhead is banned from the next match.

I can hear Phil Jones lacing up his boots, as I type.

 

[The Wizard]

Southgate must really hate Jack Grealish.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Southgate is like all the previous England managers before him DOES not pick on form picks names and what club they play off.

Pickford’s a car crash. Even Everton fans still want him replaced as their keeper. He lacks composure, intelligence.

Maguire never looks like £80m worth of world class defender. Carthorse imbalance leading to both cards.

I’ve been a bit disappointed by Rashford, not putting in any work. At least Kane, Rice and Mount are trying to make things happen.

I played golf with an Everton fan at the weekend. A comment of ‘you could be genuine title contenders this season if you beat Liverpool next week’ was met with ‘not with that ***** Pickford in goal’. They know.

 

[dazzer6666]

Geoffrey?

Well we’ve currently got Bungle so why not ?

 

[The Wizard]

1-0 down with 10 men, Southgates plan?

Park the bus.

They’re crying out for their new loanee Olsen to play.

 

[pasty]

Cracking save Schmeichel

 

[The Wizard]

Coady not going up for a corner? WTF? You could see him looking over at Southgate totally confused.

 

[Live by the sea]

Trossards come off with 30 mins to go . Not injured thankfully

 

[The Brighton Buzz]

Grealish must be really pissed off. Does Southgate really know what he is doing

 

[Farehamseagull]

Still no Grealish?! Has he ****ed Southgate’s wife or something?!

And now Phillips up front?! He’s absolutely lost the ****ing plot.

 

[The Wizard]

We are 1-0 down stop sitting so deep, this is one of the most inept tactical displays I’ve ever seen. Even with 10 in the first half we looked threatening and were dominating possession, we come out second half and just sat deep for 35 minutes?

 

[lawros left foot]

Grealish must be really pissed off. Does Southgate really know what he is doing

Absolutely not!

We're chasing the game, we have 5 defenders in and 2 defensive midfielders, so on the 73 minute he substitutes 2 attacking players for 2 attacking players!
In the 76th minute he substitutes a defensive midfielder, at last, for,

Yep, you guessed it, a defensive midfielder!


Come back Schteve.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Still no Grealish?! Has he ****ed Southgate’s wife or something?!

You wouldn't actually put that past Grealish, would you, given his track record.

 

[Seasidesage]

Southgate being exposed as inadequate here. Refused to treat Denmark seriously in either game. Plus the changes made since the sending off are nonsensical and smack of panic. Out of his depth...
