With Rice gone I think there is a pretty decent non zero chance he could get some minutes tonight.

No

Crap team again, Palmer and Foden on the wings with Gordon up top is well shite.

For the fringe players and those out of form isn't it.

Thought all these number 10 can't play together...

Pickford belting out the anthem highlighted that none of the others were singing it.

This was meant to be the first team. Kane is out with an injury.

Lovely goal, everyone looked gassed

Feels like as soon as we play anyone even half decent we look bang average.

That's b'cos they are , and aging kane who everyone said at the Euros was finished is the only class player England have .

Missing our four best players in Saka, rice, kane and Bellingham.

Can’t judge anything on tonight other than Anthony Gordon is a shit knobhead.

Oh I didn't hear Tuchel mention that. Thought barring the injuries he was still trying things out.

Dibling involved in the U21s helped create a goal there.

I don't know, we're not always going to have our perfect XI available. There is a decent chunk of supposedly 1st choice players in there. Ok Kane without another forward is a miss, but Bellingham under Tuchel apparently isn't even a guaranteed starter over Rogers.

Rice is a big miss as we haven't got a great replacement for what he does exactly. Saka, we should have coverage for.

Got the impression from Tuchel that he rates modesty, hard work and respect and team-focused players after what'd he said about Japan. Making a further point toward Bellingham perhaps?
