This particular defence is shambolic.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
There are always few random Liverpool players going to these tournaments with England for some reason. Even when they were finishing in eight position, I am not een surprised this year by this. Remember when they brought Kelly, shit fullback who was supposed to be a substitute for some injured CB?
Send them victorious?
Tbf I watch as little as Liverpool as I can. But the games I did catch he was either shite (tonight and against us) or he just looked like a midtable fullback. Someone calling him “bloody excellent” is just bizarre, to me anyway. As I said he would be lucky to reach Glen Johnson heights.
There is no overrating. Past failures does not mean one needs more skepticism than is needed to assess the present. England have rested many players too lest you forget.
Fair to say Rasford won't be starting against Colombia
one thing to also think about is the mental advantage that england has given columbia now with motivation to beat the team that lost to play them as the "easier" route.
Phil Jones is pants.
Lol what? Are we having incentives into stats now? Ratio of desire? Give me a break.
87 I guess or 88
To quote Sir Winston Churchill; "haters gonna hate".
There's nothing some folk like more than being negative.
Can’t wait fo be knocked out by Colombia due to a Pickford howler
Who’s that tall number 8 with the big hair??
Feck me he can play!!
Feck me he can play!!
All the ones wanting Vardy to play, he isn't good enough at the top level.
England have played as badly as the lineup suggested they would.
We better bloody get to the semi finals after this tactical loss.
We better bloody get to the semi finals after this tactical loss.
The media have made such a point in saying they won’t overrate this side that they have started massively overrating them.
Let's agree to disagree and when we are in the semis you can agree? Fair? Lol
Most this group wouldn’t be playing if it was the first match.
I wonder who the Colombians would prefer to play next?
This has felt much more like watching England at a tournament.
Boring, shit and a loss at the end.
Boring, shit and a loss at the end.
Get in.
Probably not if we're being honest, but he recieved no service throughout the game.
Good that we got him agreed on a deal before his WC took off. Else his stock would have risen many times
Wouldn't be a surprise would it. Pickford is a disaster waiting to happen.
Fellaini had a very good game.
England did the job they wanted to do. Now everything is set for Colombia to knock them out for doing that.
Job done!
Probably England. Defend set pieces and job 90% done.
Our new midfielder
It was clear Southgate had no intention to win this game, to be on the other side of the draw. Absolutely zero intensity or effort in the last quarter of the game.
I hope it backfires, heavily.
I hope it backfires, heavily.
Tomorrow will have just as much exciting football as today.
England for sure. Belgium are better, no doubt about that.
This was not England or Belgium tonight though, this was two reserve teams not really wanting to win.
Now watch Mexico knocking out Brazil.
Can a loss be a win?
Columbia it is then. Bring 'em on.
If we were judging off just 1 game then Adnan still has a top player in there somewhere. Good on him.
Belgium to thrash Japan, Colombia to dash English hopes. Make it so, Zeus.
Yes but it cannot be a blessing in disguise.
this smells like backfire
Colombia to win now..
Colombia to win now..
Very realistic chance of a World Cup semi final now.
Colombia will be tricky, but I fancy us
Colombia will be tricky, but I fancy us
And he's more productive than sterling.
