The qualifiers are a waste of time and tell you very little, good or bad. Full of mismatches and 11 players camped in their own box.

Scrap them, sort out qualification through the Nations League and play offs and give the actual season some time back.

Totally agree - I am sure this will happen soonish, sure its part of the plan of the whole Natons League concept (which I really like btw, best thing for international football in decades).

Teams improve by playing other teams within a level they can realistically compete with, not getting smashed 5-0 every week. San Marino, Andorra etc would get a lot more out of playing each other than Spain or England. If they do actually put a good team together climbing up the nations league is a really good incentive.

I just really hate wrong footed full backs. Can be great defensively, but the only one who ive seen who looked offensively good was Spinazzola for Italy, but he was incredibly unique.

Livramento is two footed

I think so. I know we have a habit of coming up against then non contender teams but feel Serbia a bit above that bar

On what planet is a friendly v Wales necessary next week? 

That squad is a farce.

It doesnt really matter as the games are pointless. But Wharton in, Foden in, Bellingham in.

Lots of players in there that dont deserve to be. Loftus Cheek a standout.

my point was about international footbal being schedule 3 times in 3 months. Its should be once. 

Isn't Bellingham now in the squad cos he is just back from injury

I would pick Grealish for sure, Bang in form. Pope for Trafford. Lewis Hall in. 

[RoverDom]

Bellingham only just back from injury isn't he? Foden had a couple of good games out of the last 40 odd. 

Wharton should be in and starting.

Thrilled to see Henderson in the squad again 🙄

[roverandout]

Tbf Henderson has apparently been excellent for Brentford recently.  Wharton should be starting never mind in the squad.  A fucking disgrace he isnt

Playing well for Brentford this season.

I dont get why Wharton in place of Loftus Cheek. Is he playing well at AC Milan? 

[RTM08]

I know it's a friendly but can't argue with this so far against a Wales side who have generally been quite good under Bellamy. 

Good to see that we want to keep pushing forwards even at 3-0 - one of my biggest criticisms of Southgate was his inability to capitalise on momentum.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

England moving the ball around really well. Wales haven’t turned up yet.

[joey_big_nose]

Quite like Tuchel criticizing the fans. I think hes shaping up to be real entertainment. Very attacking, drops big names, slags off the fans. Nice to have something a bit different after decades of managers who are terrified of making a mistake or upsetting anyone.
