Sterling was shocking tonight, Mount did nothing and Kane's head is gone. Why he left Bellingham at home I've no idea. And his subs were ridiculous tonight, Grealish should have never come off, and Henderson should have never come on. Yeah I can’t argue with that. 9 changes tonight and Sterling clearly lacking match fitness, Kane is still sulking and I’m honestly sick of him at the moment Grealish may have been our most attacking, but he hardly had much competition in that area. Even he looked a bit predictable, and is too one footed. Should have leathered that one in the first half with his left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screen Door Slams Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hopefully that is a massive wake up call for Southgate because some of his decisions are starting to border on the ridiculous. Grealish was head and shoulders our best player , yet off he comes again , and with it all our attacking threat.........name one chance we created after he went off. Agree with what has already been said , that Southgate clearly doesnt like Grealish and resents having to pick him. His "pets" Mount and Sterling did the square root of f*** all compared to Grealish, and Kane should have been hooked earlier. As for his subs......Saka is a good young player but does he REALLY deserve the amount of game time he is getting for the England first team ?...........and my heart sank to see Henderson come on again to trundle around and give the ball away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't got the balls to bring off Mount So the ITV pundits are also baffled by the Grealish substitution. Will Southgate be asked why Grealish was subbed when interview and, if so, what will he say? Edited October 12, 2021 by shandypants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hungary quite resolute. Qualifier. Couldn’t work out a way to beat them. Couple of players fluffing it when it came to decision making. All a bit ‘Meh’. Feel like we could’ve done with a Pogba type in midfield to get us over the line.

Ellis Rimmer Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Really poor performance, no spark whatsoever. I just don't see us reaching our full potential under GS. Hungary are a well drilled outfit, not sure why they didn't push more for the win though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Boring as ……… Negative Nigel has returned. Sterling, Shaw & Mount very poor. Only creative threat got subbed Draw required with Albania to qualify. Bit embarrassing really but you can’t win em all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scram Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Just watched the game after recording it and avoiding the result Quite impressed with Hungary tbh As for us - very disjointed other than a brief period after they scored up until half time - second half was as poor as i've seen us since probably the Croatia semi final - absolute rubbish with no cohesion and looked like we had no game plan at all I'm another one that doesn't see the love in with Foden at England level - i'd have taken him off way before Grealish Kane was awful I suppose we can put it down to too many players just having a poor night But those subs.... WTF?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillips was very good in the away fixture against Hungary, bossed the midfield battle. We surrendered the midfield battle yesterday due to the team selection.

As for the game, Kane looks so unfit so often, I wonder if he will make it to 30 as a top class striker. Like Rooney before him, he can rip up the Premier League when he's on it, but fir England it's going through the motions more often than not . Like Rooney, he will probably get the goal sciring record then quit International football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh...they've been raving all week about him on basis of a game v Andorra. He's clearly a good player but I don't think we're seeing it for England yet. For City I don't feel he consistently excels. He's young so we hope he does become this world class player but yeh at the moment he gets too much praise compared to his actual output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is consciously playing rubbish to get a move, he's just down and demotivated about it. If he was a bit nastier he could have forced the move and no doubt if he got to city he would be on fire now. I think once he does move he will get back to his best-Hopefully January.

Personally , when it comes to England I think Mount is the problem not Foden. Put Foden in Mount`s position (more creative) and you can go back to two holding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
