Obvs. I’m merely enjoying the luxury of hindsight

Disgusting that Welbz hasn't been brought on tbh.

Would have buried that Rashford chance of his arse!

Sterling's problem is mental whereas Rashford has never been good as the Man Utd hype machine have him out to be.

Sterling gets a billion chances at City but has barely scored for England as the ratio is far less. Rashford at least runs at people but his finishing is ropey. Needs more time up front in the PL but that won’t happen at Utd.

Here comes Welbz! :bow:

Chance of his arse? :unsure:

Neither of them are good enough to play at a professional level, but both of them are more than good enough to play in the modern game. There lies the problem. It's all hype.

Tyldesley burns Welbeck. :(

Welbeck coming on, that'll sort it then...

AA off, Lovely Smile on.

If that’s what you want, sure

Come on Welbz, show Rashford, Vardy and Sterling how it's done. Butt, back, shin, hamstring- whatever, just get it in the net.

At least not with Mourinho in charge.
I think Rashford has a higher ceiling than Sterling who is as bargain basement as they come.

The meme is that Welbeck never scores goals the way you expect him to. He either scuffs them, falls over when scoring or it comes off the wrong part of his body.

Rashford belts a freekick over.

Welbz denied a goal by Bogbrush!

I mean you said "of", not "off"
Lolz
Never mind!

Loftus-cheek :haha:

Loftus-Cheek. :haha:

I do get what NQ is saying, there are a surfeit of athletes these days but no talent really.

This is more like it.
This is the England I know and "love"

Wow. Loftus-Cheek. England's best player by a mile. And he can't play. It's embarrassing.

Mertens on for someone.

Fewer.

Mertens smacks it, Pickford with a Hollywood save and still cocks it up right back out in front of him!

Fell asleep watching this.

Thoroughly confused with the score.

Not really.

There were still moments. Owen. Lineker. Gazza. Beckham.

There's nothing now. Zero.

:violin:

Can a loss be a win?

Does Dier do anything apart from kick and foul opponents?

What a scramble!

Fellaini involved. :faint:

That's exactly what Dier does.

Fellaini. :haha:

Fellani :haha:

Man Utd :haha:

Pickford needs to try and direct his saves to the side and not straight out front inviting another strike.

Loobrush can't hit the target from 5 yards.

England 0-1 Belgium's Z Team, FT!

England's unbeaten run is over. :rose:

Southgate. :haha:

I would imagine they'll spin it that the winning mentality they were banging on about before doesn't mean anything now.
