England vs Hungary

[Rowls]

Have the half time Channel 4 pundits been chosen due to their talents as pundits ? What a poor collection. I’d nearly prefer to listen to Merson and Micah Richards.

Aluko's intelligent but the host needs to be asking more open ended questions and I can't imagine there's much scope for intelligent analysis given the limited cranial power of her co-pundits, especially Joe Cole.

[KRBFC]

Every top international side is playing a 2nd string in this ''tournament'' hard to draw much from it at all, hard to get excited about a tournament nobody cares to try and win.

People wanted form players to be picked in the squad, now they're all given caps. Now people want this mythical attacking exciting football but can't name another top nation producing it right now.

[Roosterbooster]

genuine question - do you reckon Pep or Klopp would get more out of our players ?

Pep would probably pick 4 or 5 City players so that's a decent start

[Whitgord]

Do Man City have that many English players?

[Rowls]

Just seen the TV schedule for Channel 4 - some poor sod's got to edit this into 60 minutes of "highlights".

My thoughts and prayers with them at this very difficult time.

[Tricky Trevor]

Is Pope the only player not to get any game time so far? He should bring him on at CF, he couldn’t be worse than what we have up there. Continues to pick Kane for every game to get him Rooneys record.

60 minutes of adverts would be better surely…

[Longsidebovril]

When was the last time England scored a well worked goal?

[Conroysleftfoot]

You can see why Pep wants to buy Phillips, all he does is foul, perfect for his holding midfielder.

[AwayClaret]

Mr Inspirational strikes again.

[Rowls]

When was the last time England scored a well worked goal?

Over 6 hours since we scored from open play apparently

[Vegas Claret]

Make us slightly more exciting to watch within the constraints of international football. The results can't possibly improve without us winning a tournament, Southgate made the final.

It's a game of football, the style is self inflicted

[Stayingup]

Southgate is taking the pxxx.Nick is the best shot stopper after Allisson yet once again gets ignored by Southgate in favour of Ramsdale!!!

Simple. Ramsgate plays for Arsenal and Southgate's not a very good manager.

[KRBFC]

It's a game of football, the style is self inflicted

Name me an exciting International side to watch

[KRBFC]

This isn't club football, they don't work all year with each other and play together all year long. This sides never played together but expected to produce brilliant football? no other nation can achieve it

[Colburn_Claret]

The same ineffectual bilge, game after game.
I confess it doesn't really bother me, this non tournament shouldn't even exist, but it won't change when we do get to the real thing. We don't know how to unlock defences, boring tippy tappy, going nowhere football.
We have the talent, we just require someone better than Southgate to organise them.

[AwayClaret]

[gawthorpe_view]

Jeeez.

[Vegas Claret]

hahahahahha

[Zlatan]

Name me an exciting International side to watch

Iran, but it depends on who they’re playing as to the excitement levels

[elwaclaret]

If Southgate had more intelligence in his centre halves, he wouldn’t have to have his midfield constantly babysitting them and then they could play.

2-0, all over the place

[ElectroClaret]

Oh dear.

[AwayClaret]

Southgate is a dud pure and simple.

[Rowls]

Been on the cards.

[burnleymik]

Southgate is clueless. This much attacking talent and he plays this dreadful, dull style.

[Zlatan]

Dyche for England…?

[addisclaret]

what an abject performance.

[taio]

Tactically inept.

[Sproggy]

0-2. Time to really let the handbrake off by switching from two holding midfielders to one?

[BurnleyFC]

Standard Southgate fare.

[barba]

Gave up on England friendlies when Sven changed the whole team at half time.

[Rowls]

Dyche to England would be a MASSIVE upgrade.

[lakedistrictclaret]

June is a month for cricket, not football.

Compare this rubbish to the Trent Bridge Test a few hours ago.

[KRBFC]

Dyche to England would be a MASSIVE upgrade.

lmao boring football you say?

[CardyTheClaret]

Name me an exciting International side to watch

Ask the Hungarians if they’ve been excited tonight.

[yTib]

kane embarrassing himself there. shameless.

[Rowls]

lmao boring football you say?

Maybe you missed the two promotions, the countless goals, the side that had scorers all over the pitch, the ridiculous passing move that led to our goal at Everton, the European qualification....

Dyche only ever worked with what he had at his disposal.

When we had better players than the opposition (mainly in the Champ) we playing brilliant fast-breaking football (2013/14) or just out-played the opposition (2016).

The lump it stuff was difficult to watch but when you've got a budget that buys you Dale Stephens vs 100s of millions of talent to try and play total football would have been suicide.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Not one mention of the blatant dive there by Kane from the commentary team.
Embarrassing that.

[KRBFC]

Ask the Hungarians if they’ve been excited tonight.

Congrats to their first team beating England's C team in a pre-season friendly, How'd they do at major international tournaments? Did we not lose to Accy Stanley in pre-season before winning the Championship title under Dyche?

[Rowls]

lmao boring football you say?

And BTW I'd take boring football IF it were effective.

Over 6 hours since England scored from open play. That's been a feature of Southgate's sides since he first tried his hand at management.

[KRBFC]

Not one mention of the blatant dive there by the commentary team.
Embarrassing that.

it wasn't a dive, he slipped. He didn't ask for a penalty

[Caballo]

If Southgate had more intelligence in his centre halves, he wouldn’t have to have his midfield constantly babysitting them and then they could play.

2-0, all over the place

Quite how Tarks doesn't get a game a head of these is baffling

[yTib]

3-0.

jesus.

[AwayClaret]

Yessss get in. And get the dull boring prick out.

[Roosterbooster]

it wasn't a dive, he slipped. He didn't ask for a penalty

He did get his left foot clipped. But went down way after. Not a penalty

[KRBFC]

Hungary celebrating like they've won the World Cup, chill out boys it's a pre-season kick about

[yTib]

it wasn't a dive, he slipped. He didn't ask for a penalty

have a word with yourself KRBFC. do you actually believe the guff you come up with?

[Vegas Claret]

humiliation hahahaha

[Rowls]

Exciting stuff.

The idea of not marking players is real "outside the box" thinking.

[Lowbankclaret]

We are shocking
