Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[Toast]

Saw Amo doing his stretches before.

Boss.

Said it a while back mate. I like the look of them. Young, pacey, with no massive ego fuelled "superstars" that we have endured in years gone by.

I agree with most if not all of that to be fair (apart from Sterling as @Toast mentions), nevertheless I unfortunately still feel that we'll falter.

Against the top teams, we lack the experience of players at the top of game, which I feel we will miss, while there's a fair level of mediocrity.

While I do feel that they'll potentially surprise many with their performances, I wouldn't be too surprised if we were dumped out relatively early.

On a slightly different topic however, I really like the Nigeria kit as it has that 1994 retro style to it.

Wouldn’t it be nice if England did well in the WC for a change? Quarter Finals, nice football, plenty of goals, making us enjoy England games again. Hasn’t happened since Euro 2004.

Pickford saving a few in a shoot out would be sound.

Boss.

I did love Amokachi. Even though he went missing for most of his first season, that performance against Spurs in the FA Cup Semi started him off and he was banging them in. Seems a nice chap too.

You will be probably be right. But folk with way more knowledge of football than me are not so sure.

 

[GwladysBlue]

This is the worst England squad I have ever seen.

They'll get bossed by any possession based side.

I don't know what Southgate is trying to do with this line up unless it's just a fitness run because it doesn't have a midfield

You see, that's what we're missing.
We forgive you if you show up when it matters and do the biz.
Game changing players, Limpar's, Kanchelskis etc..

Get Henderson on Southgate ffs.

And it's still mind boggling that Sterling got 20 odd goals last season.

Goes into a tournament he'll get 2 chances at most a game. Needs to score.

He was quite simply one of the best players in Europe at the time, let alone the Premier League. Fond, fond memories of THAT derby!

 

[Jamiednm]

Kanchelskis is still the best player I’ve seen represent Everton in my lifetime.

Lovely finish from Kane.

 

[Jamiednm]

Is that a blacked-up Karius in goal for Nigeria?

 

[Toast]

If Kane had the chances Sterling has had, this would be 5-0 already.

This is the worst England squad I have ever seen.

Player for player versus the Lampard Scholes etc etc era, inferior no doubt about it.

But a decent team is taking shape.
