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

Haven’t watched this but Tuchel’s England haven’t been convincing yet . Worryingly poor against MALICK DIOUFS SENEGAL
If they win on Tuesday they will be 8pts clear having played 1 more & qualification is basically done
Suspect France & Spain will be the main European contenders
The American weather won’t suit Englands chances if FIFA turn down their request to play with knotted handkerchiefs on their heads

Yes, that was an absolute snooze fest. I fell asleep during the second half.
To only score three goals in two games against bloody Andorra is shocking.
Still, "a win's a win" as the div Dixon said and these qualifiers are "nonsense" as that other div Rooney said the other day.
I agree re Madueke being overrated. Clearly Tuchel's favourite since he used to manage him.

Just as well we didn't go. Lets hope the happy clappy middle classes thought it was worth it.

This England side aint winning any competitions under the unimaginative Tuchel. Both Southgate and Carsley’s England sides were better esp Carsleys. He was far less inclined to pick older, past their best like Kane, Rashford, Henderson, Burn etc.
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.

I think the only game Rashford started for Barcelona he got taken off at h/t
Believe it was 0-2 and Barca came back to win 3-2
Presume Tuchel managed Madueke at Chelsea
Englands important game is Serbia away on Tuesday so you’d think he would pick his best team for that
If Bowen doesn’t play there with the little tubby Arsenal bloke with the dodgy hamstrings out I suspect he won’t go to the World Cup
Disappointing for him but I don’t mind him resting

Bowen not even on the bench???
Yes he is.
Didn't see his name on the list of subs on the screen, maybe they scrolled down to reveal more names & I missed it.

Stay on the Bench son, that way you avoid injury anyway. Madueke the superstar in Bowens place who hasn't scored in his previous 14 League games, just the 1 assist. Currently one of the most overrated Premier League players.

22 hours since Andorra have scored a goal. What the fuck are they doing in the World Cup main groups?
Yeah, fancy having a European country in the European qualifiers.

I can't see Bowen going to the wc unfortunately.. Too stacked in those positions but hopefully he has a very good season and forces him to take him.

He's called Orford up to train with the England squad, which is a positive.

Me too, but I've not watched him play this season, maybe he's been good?
