Pickford dropped for Finland encounter

Carsley makes 6 changes, much more balanced look.

Pickford dropped for Henderson and a back 4 of Walker, Guhei, Stones, and Arnold.

Should be a better watch, and Jordan gets a chance to reflect.

Ooh Cole Palmer didn't sing the national anthem. Wonder whether the media will have a field day and make a mountain out of a mole hill for that?

Jack's the lad, much better this.

Cole Palmer didn’t sing the national anthem?

The Daily Racist is going to lose its shit.

I've been listening on 5live since minute 21 and Kane has not been mentioned once.

I'm watching it.

Is it me or does that pitch look lumpy? Down what was England's right side, it looked like my garden when I haven't cut the grass.

Jeez this game is boring. How, with that talent up front?

Watkins for Kane. Thank Sheeds.

Poxy free kick that. Lucky. Wall was shite. Goalie should have done btter.

Watkins has made a difference, again.

Tuchel, new England gaffer, the German bombers lads will be unhappy.

This will have an effect on our future.

Eddie Howe will be sacked by the end of the season and will be on a shortlist for us.

Disappointing Tuchel has chosen to manage England as I would have liked him as our new manager going into BMD.

Paul F

"Tuchel, new England gaffer, the German bombers lads will be unhappy."

Wouldn't mind wagering he won't be buying a house in Lancaster or Wellington! Don't mention the war, Gotten Himmel!

A very interesting appointment.

I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it, Derek

Dennis, You may think you have, but I have been vatching you closely ! :-)

I see Issac Price bagged a hat-trick for Northern Ireland last night.

Seems he went to Liege to further his career and is doing well. Those who follow the U21s more closely my be able to comment more.

That's brilliant for the kid, that Danny, mate. To many young footballers play under 21 football, for way too long imo, simply because once you reach a certain point football becomes a man's game.

Well done, Isaac. I remember being at Finch Farm and Martin Waldron said to me "Watch this kid here because he will definitely play for England, one day."

He might have decided to take an easier international route by playing for Northern Ireland but nobody can take scoring an international hat-trick away from the kid.

And I suppose Waldron deserves some credit for picking out an international footballer when Price was around 10 years of age!

Tuchel the new England manager!

I blame it on Starmer, or at least I am sure the Daily Mail will.

They will hate this appointment - they are already taking about a ‘backlash', ‘ we don't need Tuchel, we need a patriot', ‘Tuchel was a DISASTER.'

My personal favourite is “There are countless top-class English coaches but our breathtaking snobbery towards our own managers is blocking them.” Who exactly are they talking about? !

That is why I am 100% behind Tuchel. If he upsets the bigots by being German, I am all for him.

Born in Yorkshire, he qualified for England but through family, he had Northern Irish links Tony. He also has German links.

Steve, my Chelsea supporting cousin, who grew up in Battersea is livid at Tuchel as England manager, even though he delivered them the Champions League.

I'm going to watch Chelsea in a gentleman's club next week before he takes me for a "ruby murray". He speaks proper cockney rhyming slang.

Not that it bothers me too much, but let's see how Tuchel goes. He's a feisty character and I would imagine the English press are already sharpening the knives.
