this is literally like watching United trying to break down a bottom 3 side.

It reminds me of that type of game, yeah. Ball is moved around slowly, nobody is willing to take people on, no off the ball runs or space being made. This is so easy to defend against. It's easy to defend when everything is in front of you and you just shuffle from side to side.

Not an £80m player on this performance
30 million. He is mid table solid midfielder who is quite good at many things and not outstanding at any one thing. It would be like signing Schneiderlin again imo.

Give peas a chance.
England really missing some quality in the middle of midfield to unlock the Iceland defence. Obvious quality upfront let down by the play behind it.

Whoever won the game
Will England ever be good in my lifetime?

No.
Were you born in or after July 2018 because that is when England reached a World Cup semi final.

Articulate posts for a toddler, mind you.

Bang average but many posters will claim otherwise because he dribbled once or twice and then call VDB shite for a 15 minute cameo last night.
Who has been better though? Gomez maybe?

Sancho is quality but he's been a bit passive in the 2nd half - something I noticed when he plays for Dortmund as well. Needs to be more direct and take on his man more often.

Jadon Sancho should be running rings around that Iceland team. Sorry but not €120m worth...
I’ve said this before, he has never really impressed me when I have watched him. Not until the extent of £120m anyway

They were still absolute wank. Just look at the teams they played against and as soon as a semi decent team came along they shat the bed.

England are so static. Literally zero movement from attacking players.

It’s a nothing game, the league starts again next week and everyone just wants to sleep through these boring friendlies, which is what this stupid nations league is.

christ international football is fecking awful. I'd cancel it full stop, apart from Euros and World Cup, theyre only decent tournies out there with national teams. Everything else id bin off
shouldn’t be happening at the moment that’s for sure. League starts a week today and players have had hardly any time off, it’s crazy!

Well calling all sides shit is not showing respect. Top 4 is not shit.
