The Road to World Cup 2026 and UEFA Nations League

He's quite rightly gonna get slaughtered over this even if we do get a few more goals before the end.

And it'll be magnified exponentially due to his nationality.

Meh.

I doubt it'll matter, but it was awful on so many levels.

Also a poke in the eye for the "anyone could do better than Southgate, just appoint a proven winner" morons.

Full backs asked to stay behind the ball and wingers told under no circumstances to try and beat your man.

That was absolutely woeful. Dan Burn is a disgracejob of a selection, how is Colwill behind him? A better player in absolutely every way.

Good job we didn't put that away at the end as MGW would have been bollocked for trying to create something.

I get you need to experiment but the team selection is bizarre, tactics questionable. I don't get playing Burn and especially Henderson, those two plus Walker in the squad have really dampened my enthusiasm about Tuchel building a winning squad. I think Madeuke was one of the few trying to create even if not always effective, his inclusion may seem weird but he's done decent for England so far, so I get it.

Senegal will be tricky, hopefully a better test. Not lost since September 2023.

Very stodgy stuff, why play Henderson and Burn it’s pretty obvious that players of that ilk aren’t getting you past elite opponents in tight games.
Just had a feel of the bad days under Hodgson, McLaren and the last days of Fabio.
I will say Andorra aren’t the mugs that they were 15-20 years ago. Nevertheless we should still be doing better than what we did.

Likes of Bellingham and Palmer were shocking just going through the motions and probably more interested in maintaining fitness for CWC.
