Haha! Refs on the payroll!

Also encroachment, don’t VAR check that?

Terrible match but you'd expect that given how we rested our entire starting eleven.

Ref was laughably bad, genuinely the worst refereeing I can remember in an international game. Mind boggling bad.

well if this is the best that uruguay can offer versus our england B team thats pretty poor
they have one decent player valverde and thats it - worth watching for his great touch and passing ability - great to watch
good run out test for the england reserves tho and thats what was needed and done
ps
and we think our var and refs are bad lol

Am I the only one who thinks our team isn’t that great?

Outside of Kane we don’t have one attacking player in any sort of form this season.

Every chance the defence looks like guiehi, konsa, livaremento, hall. That’s very meh for an international tournament.

Saka, madueke, rashford and Gordon as the wide players isn’t great either.

Rogers and palmer have both been poor this season.

Foden can’t get into the city team.

Just don’t fancy our chances with the group of players even with an elite manager like tuchel.

Also, quite a few great talents that could have qualified for being English that we’ve let slip through.

Semenyo, olise, musiala, even haaland.

I think individually its a good good team. But im not sure who he is going to play so hard to know, plus do they play well enough together?

Feels like we still dont know how to play a best team. I mean, what is the best team?

Yeah too many players out of form. Saka has been average at best this year. Foden has fallen off a cliff. Palmer has been injured. Bellingham injured. Rogers has been streaky and out of form at the minute. Even someone like Watkins is well down on last season. You could probably add Anderson and Wharton to not being in great form either. Gordon shouldn't be starting based on his last 12 months. There aren't a lot of players going into the tournament on top form.

From what he seems to generally pick:

Pickford
James Guehi ???? ?????
Anderson Rice
Saka Rogers? ????
Kane

He chops and changes so often though it’s hard to say

Main problem is that we've not needed to play well at any point, so chopping and changing hasn't really mattered. It'll only be in the tournament itself that everyone needs to be on the same pages that there not being a settled side will be an issue.
