Nations League

Not sure how to describe that.

[Muzzy_no7]

Absolutely awful.

 

He cannot be given the job. 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

We won the xG battle 0.86-0.65 and that's the most important thing, right?

Not seen the game but unfortunately  doesn't seem to have been that in reality..

 

 

Greece always a tough side to crack, but certainly expected more from it.

Rico Lewis gets nowhere near this England team if he's not at Man City.

Foden does nothing for me. I think he’s alright for Man City but never turns up for England.

[RowlattsFox]

Seen pens given for less.

Have a word

“The job is as good as Carsley’s unless he makes a hash of….oh!”

Biggest Greek victory since the IMF bailout

Always Bellingham.

Always?

You put Coventry people at Wembley and this happens.

[PhillippaT]

Who knew we'd slip up on Greece? 

[Fox92]

Well I’m glad we look better without Kane as the experts say.

Not even about the result. 

 

That's one of the most catastrophic performances I've ever seen from England.

 

Greece, GREECE, should have smashed us by 6 or 7.  

 

Carsley shouldn't even be given the game against Finand in midweek.

Yes sometimes you cannot just field all the best players and do need to find a balance in team selection otherwise you get results like tonight.

I mean technically only one of us has been European champions. No shame in losing to a country with football heritage like Theo Zagorakis and Nikos Dabizas.

Greece should have been out of sight. Fair play to them, they deserved to win that. 

 

England....what a mess

Me. Check my post 1 and a half month ago regarding the Greek team. 

[Guest Bilo]

The fact he hasn't yet been given the job, when he could easily have done after a decent display in Dublin, speaks volumes.

 

The FA didn't fancy him then and clearly won't now. 

 

The question is whether they appoint Tuchel now before Man United do or sign a pre-contract agreement with Pep. 

[Tuna]

Out.

xG is great for digging into a team's direction of travel / general play over a period of time, it's handy to know if Team X's style is sustainable etc. It's useful for forecasting. It's not a like for like substitution for the actual result.

 

Can't believe how many black and white telly owners there are on here man. 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

[Legend_in_blue]

Slightly disappointed that we equalised so turned it off.

 

Came back after a cuppa and we've lost.

 

Happy days 

[filbertway]

I know we lost but it was nice to actually watch and England game that wasn't 7 defenders passing the ball between them for 80 minutes. Entertaining game that was.

Drop the god damn inverted full backs and we'd probably be able to create a hell of a lot more. Would also mean we don't get done 3 on 2 on the transition over and over again
