Been pretty dirty Poland
Internationals September (World Cup Qualifiers)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
nothing has changed in the style or fitness between Saka and Grealish in the three games since the Euros final to the first qualification game
Except the transfer.
The one thing I must give Southgate and the players credit for is that the England have looked very soild at the back *touches wood* over the last 18 months or so. The players on paper are nothing special but they've surprised me.
Sweden pull a goal back.
I'm not sure about that, the previous generations didn't really have problems with comfortable qualifying games. They've always been controlled on the way to major tournaments so I don't think it's anything that wouldn't be expected. England are a major footballing nation, qualifying with decent games is expected and totally par.
I also didn't look at this Poland side and think they're going to create much. Having a top striker is only as useful as the opportunities they can create for him. I thought he'd be lucky to have one chance all game and he probably had it with the lob chance.
Looking at the replay it seemed to swerve around the defender and all
Who's done what?
It’s effective but that doesn’t change the fact it’s boring as feck. Doesn’t really matter in an international tournament but in these games I’d expect a little more from this England squad.
This has been happening since his breakthrough.Ah yes the annual redcafe slag off kane and then he hits a worldie five minutes later game I see....
Poland have a pretty good team for so many players playing lower level..
This English side should really win something… Its the best i have seen them in years. (As a team).
Worked for Rashford last season

Is there no modern keeper coming through for England (I don't mean Henderson) ?
It really does have incredible potential. Rashford, Sancho and Greenwood missing from this lot too.
They are pretty good players. Maguire and Shaw are class. Walker is an athletic beast and Stones has been decent for City recently. With two defensive mids sitting in front I think we should expect a solid defence.
The Poles are dirty bastards
Torres gets Spain second in Kosovo.
Mount brings absolutely feck all from an attacking perspective to England. Only there because of what he brings defensively. A more ambitious manager would drop him for a more attacking player.
Werner scores.
How many games are you watching?!
He retains possession. He's a cultured midfielder in my view, quite un-English. But this game has been calling for pace and width, so not the best fit tonight.
Werner scores, but the ball was going over the line very reluctantly!
Poor everton fans must be a nightmare to have Pickford in goal week in and out
Such a bizarre creature capable of a world class save and a world class brain fart in the span of seconds

Yeah, I think this is spot on.
Statistically speaking he will have to have watched about 12 games if he wanted to see Werner score.
I'm not. Just England, just got a score update on.
The back 4 is made up of 2 starters for the Premier League champions and 2 starters from the runners up. They might not be tier 1 but they're still very good.
