Are you aware Rashford plays for Villa now? And that he’s been pretty excellent since joining? And that Brighton are in fact above Villa in the table? |
Yes of course
He hasnt started a single game and had no more than twenty minutes in games he has come on and only a few cameos all done too.
He has a Man Utd pedigree and that was what he was picked on
Half a dozen sub appearances when his form has been shocking for a couple of seasons and so many more deserving cases to be picked ahead of him though.
Yawn

Boo. No Eze. Foden was very poor. Rashford poor. Not really sure why Eze is in the squad if he’s not one of Rashford, Foden or Jones’ back ups. Hard luck if he sees him as Bellingham’s back up. |
I think that’s the big problem for Eze because by far his best position would be as a 10 behind the striker and the queue of talent there vying for a place is enormous.
You’ve got Bellingham in possession, who’s always going to be first choice if he’s fit. And then along with Eze you’ve got Foden ( because he’s rubbish on the wing), Palmer,Gibbs-White and Rogers all pushing for selection. | | | |

fell asleep; missed middle 40 minutes so don't think i actually missed anything
very drab; and why Henderson is even in the squad is a mystery to me.
Gibbs-White has been outstanding for Florist and needs blooding in. Henderson has been a very good player, but surely is past it now; particularly given there is someone there ready to play that position.
The 'problem' , for me, is with TT having a relatively short contract and just wanting to win the WC is he'll take the very shirt term view. If he does win it, then he's a genius..... many more games like last night and ultimately failure and there will be a different view of his reign |  | | |

Yeah, I fell asleep around the 60th minute.
Qualifiers are so boring now there are so many groups, so many qualifiers to the finals, and so many teams aiming to qualify through play offs etc and whose sole intent against the ranking team is to keep the score down.
I fully get it from their point of view, but it makes it boring for the ranking team. | | | |

Qualifying used to be difficult, but since after 2002, for England, it's been a breeze really. Our group for 2026 is as easy as it gets.
Remember 1994 when we had Netherlands, Poland and an excellent Norway. 98 we had Italy and Poland and 2002 Greece and Germany. Used to be on a knife edge until.the final round of fixtures. |  | | |

England Albania on 3, Red Nose rubbish on 1.
Thankfully the wife had recorded a film, The Outfit, which was a wonder to watch.
Let me know when the World Cup finals start and I’ll have a look. |  | | |

With Europe being split into more countries and the ever-expanding number of teams in the World Cup itself it would take a mighty balls up to not qualify. One of my earliest football memories is the 0-0 in Italy with Ian Wright hitting the post.
Think we just have to let Tuchel get on with it. He has to have some experience in there even if it means picking players not in great form and if he goes entirely on form with the Forest players etc. then you’re changing the team every game. I don’t particularly rate the bloke but he can’t be judged until our quarter-final defeat to France next summer. | | | |
