There’s some quality there but Southgate has a weird obsession with some really average players: Winks, Trippier, Ings, Phillips in this team and I just don’t think we will progress picking those guys.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Although they really should have scored.
Duffy blocking on the line.
This might end 1-nil either way.

The world champions had an Everton player starting for them yesterday. And two Rennes players (I know Camavinga is seen as amazing talent).
Sounds bad then. Ireland has always been feeling like a pretty shitty side to watch though as long as I can remember. No offence.
Although you did alright in Euro 2016.
Levitt gets a yellow.
classic old school defending.
Super clearance
sorry Lucas Hernandez does not play for Everton
and Rennes are in the UCLWe are shit. Havent been good to watch in a long long time.
Danny Ings with an overhead kick to get the third for England.
3-0. Nice overhead kick from Ings.
Wales way too green at the back.
Wales way too green at the back.
Last good side was probably around 2000-2004, we were actually good then but still not pretty on the eye. Have never had players like Robbie Keane and Duff again and certainly not one like Roy Keane.
That's a brilliant finish from Ings. I really like him.
Digne started at left back according to the graphic I'm looking at.sorry Lucas Hernandez does not play for Everton
Wales cannot defend any sort of cross.
That's a great finish, not sure about the Welsh defence though, how can you leave someone in his form free in the 6 yard box?
Wales are shit aren't they. One of their players was jumping up and down with no one near him on the Ings goal.
I see the youth experiment didn't last long although can understand Kenny going for likes of McLean in such a big game.
Serbia ahead against Norway.
Grealish - pure class. Missed a good one there
Serbia leading!
Grealish has been quality but too shit for United according to the cafe.
Connolly and Idah are out for some reason. Connolly probably would have started otherwise. I'd say it'll be after the Euros (if we make it) that we'll see him stick more of the young lads in. A lot of them like Parrott are still very green in terms of senior football.
Digne was a standby player in 2018...plus Digne has "Barca" on his resume thus he is not your "regular" Everton/Baines player
Well that's never happened before. We have previous on that count.
Grealish is all over the pitch. Moves from one side to the other.
I don't think that's quite fair. He's not an 80m player is what most thought (myself included). Nor is Maddison.
He hasn't really had a chance to make the team his own yet.
He said he went for experience in this one. He wasnt supposed to take charge until these games were sorted but covid delayed everything.
Connolly was ruled out due to being in contact with a staff member who got covid but I don't know if he would have started.
Ah ffs, great chance, Ireland should have scored there.
fecking feck.
that was a shocking miss
Skottland, Ireland and Northern Ireland all looking like getting extra time.
ROI desperately needs a good striker. I've liked the look of Idah in some of his sub games for Norwich and Connolly is a livewire although dosen't have huge goal threat. Obafemi is another although he probably needs a move away from Southampton now.
Maddison definitely isn't. Think he has missed his England chance as well.
That would have probably been the best footballing goal an Irish side has ever scored. Don't know how he missed that.
Jota went for 45m, grealish is definitely worth more than that. 80m may be not but at this market 60m definitely
No loss anyway. Absolute liability of a defender
Is McTominay playing in defense again for Scotland?
A staff member tested positive and the two lads had been in close contact according to RTE.
Norway equalised.
