Other - Rest of the World England vs Greece

[unification]

Whilst there is a bigger story here for Greece beating England with George Baldock’s passing, this has been a very mediocre performance from
England. Without Kane, they have looked very toothless

Is this still an audition for Carsley to get the job full time? If so, he’s not hitting the right notes based on tonight’s performance.

(Pedantic point but there is no ‘England’ or ‘Nations League’ prefix. One for the mods to look at.)

 

[Northstandboy]

Pickford the donkey!

 

[holdsteady]

Been very poor, no focal point and we gave Greece momentum by starting without a centre forward.

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

This is miserably bad. They’re lucky not to be 0-4 down

I’m sure Phil Foden is a very good player, but I’ve almost never seen him play well for England, and he’s been terrible tonight. Definitely feels like a ‘systems’ player - when he’s drilled exactly what to do and where to go by Pep, in a side which has most of the ball, but give him less instructions and a freer role and he doesn’t seem to know what to do.

Having said that, they’ve all been poor tonight. Trent Alexander-Arnold for example has been awful.

ITV just said then they've had the ball in the net 4 times.

If England get anything out of this game it would be an absolute travesty

 

[Sarge]

Poor, poor showing from England... be very fortunate to get an undeserved point...wayward passes, lack of guile... aaaand conceded after calamatous defending 1-2 in time added

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Well, England should have had a penalty, but it would have been harsh on Greece

 

[Sarge]

On tonights performance Carsley wnt get the job

 

[McXal]

That was dreadful. Delighted for the Greeks and the celebrations with Gorgeous George’s shirt were so emotional. But yeah from an England perspective that was a shambles on a tactical, selection and performance basis.

If this is a genuine audition for Carsley to get the job (it blatantly isn’t, he’s getting the job) then other than 15 minutes against Ireland it has been turgid so far.

 

[Johnf]

Greece deserved the win. An absolute shambles from England.

 

[38yearsofpain]

England were appalling and the referee was just about National League standard.
That whole formation was insane, defensvly inept, midfield players running into each other and overall the players had no idea how to play in that formation. Lee Carsley literally ripped up his application form for the England job.

 

[werthersoriginal]

Couldn’t help enjoying that, very pleased for Greece which is a country I love. We appear to have lost to two goals from Vangelis. Can I be the first to say Parsley out!!

 

[holdsteady]

Carsley out, Futcher in.

 

[McXal]

Can I be the first to say Parsley out!!

 

[Manorlounger]

What was that for a formation? Strikers left on the bench, defensively unaware, no cohesive play and Pickford being Pickford at his worst.
Inept.

 

[Scotchegg]

Can I be the first to say Parsley out!!

Would he play Herbie Kane?

Would he play Herbie Kane?

He could bring him on in injury thyme.

He could bring him on in injury thyme.
