Nations League 2022/23

[two sheds]

we're going to have to play well to come back from here

 

[two sheds]

pah just not enough time

 

[Lord Camomile]

Worst home defeat since the 1920s! Woof!

 

[tommers]

Hahah, worst home defeat since 1928. Amazing

 

[editor]

Wales get a last minute equaliser away at the Netherlands. And then we get sucker punched again. 2-3.

Still it's an impressive performance.

Germany 5 Italy 1

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh, fuck it; being on the same side of the argument as Paddy Power ain't great...

(Although, that said, I do still also think we had got relatively lucky in both those tournaments)

#manciniout ?

 

[Lord Camomile]

I mean, I wouldn't be that upset if we failed to do much at the Qatar World Cup...

Overall much to be positive about but ffs that was a carbon copy last minute goal from Wednesday

Carlton Cole impersonator any better?

 

[not-bono-ever]

What a delightful evening

 

[steveo87]

Back to thinking England are shite, fantastic.

 

[1927]

Is it coming home this year?

 

[The39thStep]

No clear or obvious error here

In the past when England have played shite I've felt it's because at some times we haven't got the players or at others we've got the players but they've not been picked. The players all look good enough now, just not sure why they're not playing well. No creativity/inventive passing from the midfield? We didn't seem to get good enough balls to the forwards.

And yes crap sending off. Eta looked like the Hungarian took a deliberate dive

That player needs to be banned for that.

 

[donkyboy]

The Welsh are a much better team. Rather watch Wales than England.

 

[two sheds]

Yep that struck me with the last Wales game a couple of days ago.

 

[Rebelda]

Carlton Cole impersonator any better?

Absolutely right. We lose a couple of friendlies and people call for a new manager months before a WC Toys and marbles everywhere today, and people wonder why England men's players struggle with the pressure of international play.

 

[marty21]

When England do well in this Nations League it is a worthwhile competition, now we've totally fucked up, it is therefore pointless

 

[two sheds]

same with the World Cup really

 

[Rebelda]

It's almost as if people got used to the England men's team doing well. Like putting two and two together and swearing blind you get one.

 

[The39thStep]

Yep that struck me with the last Wales game a couple of days ago.

 

[two sheds]

Enjoyed the Netherlands Wales game, class Johnson goal.

 

[William of Walworth]

I would much rather England had lost in the manner Wales did, than in the manner England were rolled over by Hungary

 

[William of Walworth]

Not sure at all how much of a pointer to Word Cup performance you can work out from these Nations League games.

IMO it's a shite contest. Might as well just have actual friendlies!!

ETA : I do completely agree though, that England have been utterly lamentable in these games.

What we need is more passing across the back seven

England’s drubbing by Hungary shows risk of over-attacking, warns Southgate

‘You’ve got to have the balance of a team right,’ the manager said as he reflected on England’s 4-0 Nations League defeat by Hungary at Molineux

www.theguardian.com

Four games with one (penalty) goal between them doesn't suggest over attacking to me

Mount usually plays well but I can't recall him doing much these last games.
