I'm struggling to comprehend what Marcus Rashford has done to merit starting for England.

England is not a poor average Team. It's true Tuchel is currently achieving that level of play but these players are not poor or average that has on a number of occasions reached Finals and Semi Finals in modern times.

Tuchel has made a poor lethargic average team even worse…..

Strolling to a valueless win against lowest rated team…

2 - 0… F F S…

I dont want Bowen getting injured so happy for the overrated players to get starts or appear as subs. Take Eze, you watch him now get more sub appearances or starts now he’s at one of the rich 6 outfits. He’s no better now than when he was at Palace. 
Kane past his best?? fmb

Watching the NI players lined up for God Save The King, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a miserable bunch of fuckers. Quite a few Fenians I guess.

Good luck to Marshall tonight on the bench for Northern Ireland against Germany. Fullkrug definitely out.

That said a lot more about Potter than it ever did about Ferguson who was available for near enough every fixture. The manager failed to utilise him whilst we had him mainly kept on the Bench as we struggled to play well and score.

We really did give up a great opportunity to get him in on the relative cheap in todays market for decent young Strikers and make him a mainstay in the side for years to come. When he went to a Club like Roma though in the Summer, it was of no surprise to me knowing how good he can be when regularly playing.

And of all the Clubs to be picky over Strikers, West Ham especially under GSB aint the one to turn our noses up at Ferguson with his ability as a specialised No. 9 at his age. The way he plays he's made for a Club like ours up front and I really don't think it would have cost us much at the time this summer to prize him away from Brighton.
No one wanted him to succeed more than me,, he fitted the profile of what we need. From a selfish point of view I live in Ireland and having an Irish player in the team means more live matches -:Saturday 3pm -  with west ham are shown here. However he looked heavy and sluggish. Players must take some personal responsibility for their physical condition, so yes I did think he stank.
He played 150 Minutes in total having been available for all the matches bar of course his parent Club Brighton. He also looks the same as he does now. 

More heavy indeed..

There are better players than Burn, LewisSkelly, Madueke , Eze & Rashford around but a few unfit or unavailable 
Same as Southgate he needs to settle on a central defence & find a back up / alternative to Kane
Kane insists on playing every game for his own personal goal tally so Southgate had no one ready to go when needed

Last night: one of the weakest England line-ups I’ve ever seen. And I went to watch Graham Taylor’s sides, with people like Andy Sinton (a left winger) playing right back.

Don’t care where the England managed is from . What’s important is that they’re a good a manager who wants to get the side on the front foot.

Tuchel needs to improve massively. We’re less attacking than under Southgate. And he used to put eight men behind the ball.

And stop this nonsense playing Rice as an #8. He’s a world-class #6. Play your best players in their best positions. Why do all these England managers try to get clever - and fail? Venables had the right idea. Almost never played somebody out of position.

Didn't see it but caught the line up and maybe it's because I don't watch much football these days but I haven't really heard of half of them. It seems you only need to play a handful of games for a top club and you are in the squad compared to years ago when you needed a good season or so to be noticed if lucky. Yes we have quite a few good youngsters these days which on the one hand is good but it's also a case of too many cooks. So many changes from one game to the next it's not surprising they never seem to gel as a team. Once upon a time you could pretty much name an England starting eleven bar a couple but now it seems like just pull eleven names out of a hat containing thirty odd.

I see no one has mentioned Scotland got a good point yesterday.
A Bertie German coach did not work out well for Scotland.

its all a strange carry on, he was stinking the place out. No one at west ham wanted to sign him on that showing and no premier league clubs showed an interest either..

Ireland have some decent players, they really should be qualifying for the big tournaments, but it just goes to shit. Either very good or dogshit. I dont think the manager is any good

That dogshit Ferguson has scored Irelands goal though. Thank God we sent him packing and didn't try getting him on a good deal in the Summer whilst his stock was low.. Injury prone Fullkrug and Wilson were definitely the better options to go for up front for us.🤦‍♂️
Fucks sake i turned it off at 2-0.
​​​​​Theres been some shenanigans with him at west ham alright.

Andorra has a population of 88,000. They lost to Gibraltar recently. Pathetic for pundits to prattle on about no easy games. Portugal put 5 past Armenia tonight - Ronaldo scored 2. It annoys me to see our players swanning around lazily in games like this - winners roll over teams like this. We are over hyped won-nothings

In the last 3 England games (2 matches at Home) against Andorra twice who are 174th ranked in the world and Senegal (18th), England under Tuchel has managed to concede 3 and score only 4 times with 1 goal thankfully coming by the way of an Own Goal.

I don't know how anyone can complain about Kane's inclusion, he's the best striker England have had for decades by absolute miles. The rest of the team and squad however are toss. Tuchel ain't gonna win many games if he keeps picking piss poor wanker teams like that.
