keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 25, 2022 FA pick pragmatists as England coaches. Ericsonn, Capello, Allardyce, Hodgson, McClaren and now Southgate who had nothing except relegate Boro. Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We didn't have a plan B, perhaps the occasional long diagonal to keep them guessing. Kane was a bit of a plodder and Christ knows why Foden didn't come on.

Richard Richard 186 Posted November 25, 2022 The hype and delirium after the Iran win was a bit OTT, most of us said it at the time. This performance is a stark reminder of our recurring limitations playing through half-decent sides. USA were excellent to be fair, more than deserved their point. Lots of question marks over Southgate's selection or - more specifically - his substitutions. I'm hoping to see at least three or four changes to the starting eleven v Wales. Including Foden starting. Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
