England v Austria
Tripps starts as does Lingard, and I'm surprised he's risking Kane in this game TBH.
England XI: Pickford, Alexander-Arnold, Trippier, Rice, Mings, Coady, Saka, Bellingham, Kane, Grealish, Lingard.
Subs: Calvert-Lewin, Johnstone, Godfrey, Phillips, White, Watkins, Ward-Prowse, Henderson, Sancho, Ramsdale.
As you'd also expect no Chelsea or City players involved tonight.

I’m watching Bob Ross on BBC4 and it’s put me in a sleepy mood...I’m sure watching England will have the same effect

Watching Hendry play for Scotland, he's just scored.

Re: England v Austria
Hope he plays well and scores a couple, it baffles me how he can't get in the 26 after his blistering end to the season, yet Rashford and Sterling who've barely netted in the last few months both make the squad, where's the incentive for guys to go out and get regular action and prove themselves, this is exactly what Jesse has done in going to West Ham instead of being a bit part player at Man Utd, and his reward is too be omitted for the summer.

Re: England v Austria
So he calls up Chilwell, Shaw and Saka but plays Trippier at left back. Southgate is a moron.

Yes, it does seem pointless playing anyone who isn't going to the Euro's.

If he has a blinder, it’ll just show how inept Southgate is

Re: England v Austria
Not sure why. A number of players are yet to join the squad so absolutely no harm in Lingard filling in. I’d rather him play and create chances for Kane and the like than play someone out of position just for the sake of it.

I have no sympathy for Grealish. 60k/week and he uses tampax for shinguards.

Re: England v Austria
In fairness who else would play on the wing? The City, Chelsea and United players aren’t available and the only winger on the bench is Sancho who has been carrying an illness. Should be in the squad over the abundance of right backs.

On the bench but missed training with a throat infection.

The lads who played in the Champions League final are having the night off. Not sure what the problem is?

Grealish still throwing himself all over the place.

Why is Southgate wearing pyjamas?
Re: England v Austria
This.
He knows the dark arts and draws nearly every foul. Some are genuine but others are hilariously soft.

Amazed Grealish is still at Villa, would fit right in at City and win them 50 free kicks every CL game

Lingard instead of Sterlling.
Everyone knows Sterling is useless in Europe.

Re: England v Austria
Pickford punches, and he and the tall centre-forward slightly collide,
how does that turn in to a free kick?

Re: England v Austria
Drawing fouls is part of the game, it has nothing to do with dark arts. He’s been targeted almost every time he’s had possession tonight. He’s very good with the ball at his feet so invariably gets fouled a lot when people try to dispossess him.
Re: England v Austria
I don't see the issue with Grealish, to me he gets quite clearly fouled most times and I hate players going down under minimal contact. Excellent player

Re: England v Austria
Grealish & Saka the 2 best England players tonight, but it's it bit of a damp squib, and in the last 10 minutes when Austria have suddenly woken up and decided to throw a few bodies forward England have looked vulnerable in defence, as you'd expect with a pairing of Coady and Mings.
Unfortunately Lingard hasn't managed to impress thus far, but TBF the forwards have had very little service again.
Tripps has done OK on the left, but you can tell it's not his natural position.
TAA looks off form, which indeed he is, and apart from that good run in the opening seconds he's been really quiet on that side, but then most of England's best attacks have come down the left, and that looks the most likely outlet for a goal or chance to be created.

Re: England v Austria
Rolling around squealing like a pig is simulation, it may be a part of the game but it is not in the spirit or the laws of the game. Protecting the ball so that the only way for a player to dispossess you is to foul you is one of the very basic fundamentals of the game. If that’s not acceptable to you then you’re watching the wrong sport.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 8:53 pmSo is rolling around squealing like a stuck pig, doesn't make it acceptable to all of us.

Re: England v Austria
It wasn’t gamesmanship though. He was intentionally fouled on a number of occasions. One of their players was booked as a result of the persistent fouling.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 8:59 pmThe funny thing is that for all his "gamesmanship" nothing good has actually come of it.
So I would ask him to stay on his feet and actually go past someone.

And I'll watch whatever I want, I don't need your assent
Re: England v Austria
The one I was specifically referring to (at the time I made my post) he wasn’t even touched. Literally dived over the the Austrian player’s legs.
You say that people wouldn’t moan if he played for Burnley but by the same token I bet those on the other side of the fence would moan if he wasn’t English.

We'll have to agree to differ on that.
But does he ever actually go past anyone without getting fouled?
Genuine question, check out this half

Was that the one on the left hand side where he knocked it past the player who slid in late? If so he was cleaned out.BurnleyFC wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 9:03 pmThe one I was specifically referring to (at the time I made my post) he wasn’t even touched.

It has nothing to do with him being English for me. I just watched 45 minutes where a player was constantly kicked. Criticising him for being on the end of those kicks is just ridiculous.
