Strangely not devastated though, like it was inevitable.
Didn’t go out in comical fashion to a bunch of part timers. Which was nice.
The draw was very favourable though, I doubt we’ll ever get such a stroke of good fortune like that.

When the first goal went in my daughter heard the shout and ran out of bed to sing it's coming home at me, which was awesome so LD can fuck off with his positives.
I'll have to break the news in the morning.
There were few alternatives imo. We had one system and a reasonable first eleven. The job for the next two years is building a squad and make them capable of adapting.mistercrayon wrote:That game was utter rot in the second half. Southgate fucked it when plan A wasn’t working and England were getting ruined he went to his shit version plan A (ie the same plan but the B grade players). The same fucking plan in every game with no ability or desire to unpack the game in real time to affect or change the game.
Every sub was like for like. When you’re being overrun in mid you don’t take off the defensive mid and add a defensive mid. What value is swapping sterling for what Southgate has implied as being the shit sterling from the B team game and giving the lad zero starts.
They had three games where the wingers were ineffective in open play so they keep the same plan for the most important game.
Awful.

The ref totally abandoned reason and logic halfway through the second half too, no massive howlers but plenty of 70/30s went to the dirty ratty snide cunts who France are going to annihilate on Sunday.
Shame there's no football on until then.
