rodders0223 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 England have stopped playing at 2-0 for about 20 years. It's English DNA at this point and needs to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish looked like he was having fun. Released from Pep's restraints and stipulations, Jack looked like his old self and got my vote for the best player on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also playing against a lot of Championship or lower Premier League players Only one Ireland player played for a team in Premier League top 12 last season and that is Liverpool reserve keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobsons Choice Posted September 8 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8 In fairness we've just kicked off a PL season, and even if any of the player's had not been told by their club bosses to take it easy in the Nations League after the result was no longer in doubt, they would be constantly thinking 'don't get injured, don't get injured, don't get injured'.

Hobsons Choice Posted September 10 VT Supporter Share Posted September 10 The only time I've seen Lewis play was for England and he was cack. Can someone who's actually seen him play for his club say if he's any good? Seems like he's being groomed for the Seniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJG23 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) Not in terms of his footballing abilities, I’ve never really seen him play but looking at Angel Gomes, in terms of height/size he looks like a Primary school kid playing with High school kids tonight. Carsley seems to rate him highly. Is his first name pronounced as in a heavenly angel or is it the Hispanic pronunciation ?

He's done OK so far but I've never seen him play before. Onana could use him as a toothpick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
