I guess it’s become difficult for the England camp to motivate themselves for the pointless waste of time that is international football these days.

does anybody get excited watching England anymore. tis like a wasp annoying and wont go away

[Baggies]

I did in 2018 and i'm excited by the talent we have coming through. The party the nation will have if we do win an international tournament will see everyone getting excited, but I agree the winter internationals are dull as ditchwater.

I dont even watch them.

If it's a major tournament I do but otherwise I'm not in the slightest bit interested.

[leeiswba]

I go to the tournaments and a lot of away games so really enjoy that but that is also more about travelling to places I would never go to and have a few beers with mates somewhere the other side of Europe for a few days.

We also try and take another country in when we go away instead of flying straight in and out of the country England are playing, for instance for Montenegro last year we went to Albania first for a day or so then got a coach over to Podgorica

I have been a travel club member for 6 years but only been to watch them at Wembley twice I think since then, if they were Saturday games at Wembley I’d be up for it but not midweek which is when they are

[TheJacko2000]

Not remotely interested, and won't be until they get a decent manager.

[Baggies]

There is an argument to say the England U21 side currently contains more talent than at any point in it's history. It should be looking at a historic push for a major trophy.

Sadly it is managed by Aidy Boothroyd.

We have just drawn 3-3 to Andorra U21s.

Grealish, Coady and Ings not in the team after their performances the other night and  Maguire is back in what a joke oh and Pickford back in goal

[TheJacko2000]

They'll never get anywhere until they change the manager.

Le Tissier scored a hatrick for England B against Russia in 98 and lost out to the box awful Darren Anderton. Nothing changes and probably never will.

[TheJacko2000]

Big Rom still looks class.

1 nil. Dier very poor, but we already know that.

Awful, awful player as is Maguire.

Add Declan Rice to that list. Cack.
This list may grow over the next hour.

[TheJacko2000]

Whatever you think of the bloke off the pitch or as a rival. Jack Grealish should be in this team. Every time.

As I type, decent bit of simulation by Jordan Henderson.

1-1 Rashford.

And Coady, and Mings.

[TheJacko2000]

And Coady, and Mings.

They aren't glaring omissions though. Grealish is probably our best player.

[seteefeet]

They are if the alternatives are Dier and Maguire.
No Freakish (not going to change that autocorrect, I quite like it)2nd half, probably wait until the hour mark when we are behind again.

[hardtobeat]

If we are going to play a back 3 and wing backs
1)Coady has  to play
2) make sure you have a left footed wingback available

[TheBaggieMan]

Bring back Rom !!!

[TheJacko2000]

A dive and a deflection. Maybe it's better to be a lucky manager?

Done ok second half, stifled Lukaku. What we wouldn't give for a DeBrune though

[seteefeet]

Much better 2nd half, fair play Southgate, very good result.
We have better players than this starting 11 though, get them in and we could win it!

[Baggies]

I'll take the win vs the "World number 1's" (3rd best team) in a "competetive" game. That said, our defence isn't good enough, well our defending anyway. Eric Dier isn't good enough for a top international side. I also feel our best 11 plus subs included a lot of different players to those who started today.

As for Greasy Jack, he could have scored 10 mid week, it wouldn't have convinced Southgate. I don't think it's personal, Southgate just doesn't really like creative types. Will be good for England when he steps down as we are losing out on an increasing pool of easy on the eye footballers.

[TheBaggieMan]

Done ok second

What we wouldn't give for a DeBrune though

Don’t need DeBruyne..... we’ve got Matheus Pereira !

[seteefeet]

I was talking England mate. The fact DeBruyne (thanks for the spelling lesson  ) couldn't lace Matty's boots, goes without saying
