Thought Madueke look dangerous when he came on. Looks a better option than Eze for me, who I’m yet to be convinced by in an England shirt.
Sorry, Republic of IrelandWhen did we play you lot?
Sorry SCG should be Irish Republic.When did we play you lot?
Can we give Kane his 100th cap and then get someone else in? He was class back in the day, but either those days are now gone for good, or he is still carrying the same mysterious injury as in the Euros.
He does look more dangerous but also makes dumb decisions quite regurlarlyThought Madueke look dangerous when he came on. Looks a better option than Eze for me, who I’m yet to be convinced by in an England shirt.
I really rate Eze for Palace always a stand out and can see why he always gets called up but I agree he has been quite poor for England. Was awful when he came on last night.Thought Madueke look dangerous when he came on. Looks a better option than Eze for me, who I’m yet to be convinced by in an England shirt.
Must have watched a different game to me. His passing ripped Ireland to bits in the first half.He was very average against Northern Ireland.
I watched the same game as you. TAA was good at the ROI.Must have watched a different game to me. His passing ripped Ireland to bits in the first half.
Yes I thought he played well. Always seemed to find space to receive the ball and to smartly recycle it. Bit of a Bobby Murdoch-esque performance.Impressed with Gomes. Very composed, makes quick decisions and with tempo. Allows Rice to be more advanced which suits him better.
We came out in the second half and played with more intensity and sustained pressure and got the breakthrough.
Decent start for Carsley with the context of some below par opposition, but nice to see us able to create chances and breakdown a low block.
Did he? Amazed if that is true.TAA got back to back man of the matches for the Ireland and Finland games…
Was anyone saying that?This is why I say that people who expected us to walk away with the trophy this summer were being unrealistic.
That was my concern, I'm hoping Carsley will stiffen up the middle of the park against better opposition...Just back from the match. I feel we dominated, struggled with the final ball or shot first half, played better second half and got a couple of goals. But we left ourselves wide open to the counter 3 or 4 times and a better team would have punished us a couple of times
Suited him last night, a free role against second class opponents who sat back all game giving him plenty of time to pick his passes BUT can't defend against better class opponents.TAA has to be allowed to make that RB spot his own.
Some of his passes are fantastic.
He was definitely MotM last night, he was the best player on the pitch by a mile.
He's also done this against better class opponents too....whilst at Liverpool when winning the biggest prizes on offer...Suited him last night, a free role against second class opponents who sat back all game giving him plenty of time to pick his passes BUT can't defend against better class opponents.
I'd use him against second class opponents but definitely wouldn't pick him against top teams Walker and James far better. But happy to disagree.He's also done this against better class opponents too....whilst at Liverpool when winning the biggest prizes on offer...
He's not the best defensive RB out there....but there's no one better at RB in the world at going forward.
And we've not got a better RB available...
We'd be mad not to utilise him.
