He looked good for Lampard as well. Hard for anyone to look good under this negative system, let's be honest.
Internationals September (World Cup Qualifiers)

I just don't get what England are trying to do. Walker and Sterling stop play to a standstill on the right. Kane drops to the centre circle. Mount runs side to side providing a way to ping it backward to Rice and Phillips.
The most progressive passers in the team are the CBs.

I think this is where the Nations League helps teams like this learn how to try and win some competitive games rather than just a mentality of qualifying games being about how many they lose by and trying to keep the score down.
Some of these smaller nations have improved defensively and are more organised - but still every competitive qualifier was mostly about trying to keep the scoreline to a respectable defeat.
The Nations League groups, where they're competing against similarly poor nations, has given them competitive matches where they can realistically look to score goals and maybe win some games. That should, hopefully, help develop a mentally where, unless it's against the bigger nations, they can go out there with a bit more of a positive attitude because they at least have experience of drawing and winning some competitive matches.
It's not just him, Grealish looks the massively overrated player many felt he was while at Villa
That's twice now!
What's the question?Did we just clear our own freekick?
I disagree with the pundits. How can getting a draw be considered a good point? This is Hungary, not Belgium or France.
In the national team we're not even that good at it tbh, if anything we've been mostly a naive team during my lifetime. Our league on the other hand...It's a work of art when you do it
We italians are understandably proud of our shithousing ability, take great pride in it and watching us outshithouse Spain(also great at it) is one of life's great satisfactions
And we don't even try it against you lot. It's a futile endeavor. We bow to the true masters of the art
Lukaku with his second
Poor from Kane
My guy!
Washington puts NI two ahead and Lukaku scores another to make it 3-1 for Belgium.
Very surprised Kane didnt score. He basically scuffed it into the ground.
It’s the Southgate tax sadly. I said it at the time, those England players got to the euros final in spite of him, not because of him.
I'd say no
He kicked it into the floor I think - poor.
Appalling from Kane
Garbage
Great pass from Walker. Kane has got to score that.
£150m eh?
Ronaldo would of scored that with his eyes closed
TBH, you could include all the Home Nations in that list most of the time. They're mostly quite pragmatic and mainly looking to score off set pieces.
Watching England games is a sore to the eye.
What a shithousery game...

Villa fleeced City.
Ah but according to dickheads like Oliver Holt we should have gone for Kane because it would have shown more progression
Dean Smith wanking at that thought
Rice could easily have been given a red for that.
Rice
Rice is very lucky.
Dixon is horrible to listen to. Him and matterface are terrible and bland.

Close to being a red card surely there, goes in with excessive force and over the ball.
Sterling 1-0
Good goal. Good finish Sterling.
That will annoy Hungary
That will annoy Hungary
There you are. Sterling.Things being thrown now.
Rice got lucky - could have been a red card
Nasty from Rice. Could have been a red that.
Well worked goal.
This ref isn't known for dishing out soft reds.
Good team goal actually.
It was never even close to being a red card.
