It's the same thing decade after decade with England. Individual brilliance with no glue inbetween.

In the last World Cup all the teams that played high up the pitch like England went out in the quarter finals.

Southgates tactics require alot of coaching and playing creative players to make use of the high possession.

England looked better as a counter attacking team like in the Euros.

Where's bakeoff gone? If I wanted to watch paint dry with Dion Dublin for commentary I'd have taken a trip to B&Q this afternoon and stuck home under the hammer on in the background.

Would you start Morris or Archer?

Turner
TAA - Trippier - Udogie
Salah - Son - Maddison - Mbeumo - Palmer
Haaland (C) - ?

(Sanchez, Morris/Archer, Kaboré, Al-Dakhil)

    When in doubt, I check bookies odds. Sometimes it works, sometimes I give armband to Son instead of Salah and lose 12 pts.

      Fixtures coming thick and fast now, 7 games in the 3 weeks from Saturday. I can't see them rushing back its a marathon not a sprint and all that jazz.

      doesn't feel like the week to be doing it with Man Utd and Brentford having plum games although that does have to be balanced against them both looking pretty cack lately.
