Re: England -v- Brazil & then -v- Belgium

Bowen offers something none of the others do. He’s a second striker and a genuine goal threat.

The closest thing England have to Mo Salah.

I thought he came out with credit.

Did a job there and showed he’s actually a decent footballer. Fair play to him.

Great, the players like him.

But what’s he done?

Re: England -v- Brazil (C4 from 1900)

Which would be a laughable decision. Why? He’s been turned over by any team remotely competitive? His best victory was against a terrible German side and that was only down to a Thomas Muller uncharacteristic miss. Bloke is a fraud with arguably the second best European squad around behind France.

Re: England -v- Brazil (C4 from 1900)

Rice was top drawer, he really is one of the best in the world. Better than Bellingham for me.

Still time to sack the manager…

Re: England -v- Brazil (C4 from 1900)

4 wins in 25 games against top 10 sides for Southgate.

That’s utterly embarrassing.

Re: England -v- Brazil (C4 from 1900)

We just can’t match the top sides under Southgate, even in friendlies.

Such a fraud of a manager.

Chilwell and Gallagher look so out of their depth.

Brazil are so much better at football than us.

Re: England -v- Brazil (C4 from 1900)

I think it is great he is in the squad. He is better than any other alternatives. It isn't as though the England management would only have just known about him. He was earmarked as one to watch ages ago Better him than Henderson You can’t say he looks better than anyone based on 14 league games. S...

Re: England -v- Brazil (C4 from 1900)

It does make me laugh that Kobbie Mainoo is straight in the squad.

He looks decent but let’s all be honest, if he played to exact same level while playing for Brentford or Burnley or Fulham he’d be nowhere near the squad.

Kid has only played 14 league games in his career. What a farce.

Re: VAR 2023/24

The audio has been released on the last minute Villa goal that wasn't.

It sounds like they are desperate to disallow it, even rolling the tape back to look for a phantom offside as that would be easier to disallow it with.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024

He's a good utility player to keep around - just not to be brought on for a striker with forty minutes left in a game.

He'd be a smart freebie for the vast majority of teams in the league. Cups, Europe, homegrown quota, etc.

Re: The next 6 games...

Point at Newcastle, point at Wolves and two home wins and we can start thinking of a top 8 finish again.

Anything other than 8 points from 4 games and sadly we'll be looking at mid-table.

As for Leverkusen, who knows. They're unbeaten but also nearly lost to ten men from Azerbaijan.

Re: 🚗 🚌 🚅 ✈ The Away Game & Match Day Logistics Thread

Booked for Cologne, all on trains as it was half the price and not much different time wise by the time you factor in all the security stuff and arrival times at airports.

Hotel in Cologne booked, cab from Cologne to Leverkusen is about 20 minutes and 30 Euros.

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

We made that sub because 1. Antonio is knackered and can't handle two games of such intensity 2. Digne was providing a lot of Aston Villa chances - I believe in the middle part of the game Aston Villa had 7 chances to our 0, and we created more chances after the change. Sure, at face value you can ...
