Well she’s earning about a million dollars a year in the game, so I’d probably say so, yeah.

How does her earnings equate to her knowing more about football than me?

Absolutely.

Clearly she wouldn't have done so well without knowledge and capability, but such a carte blanche statement is daft.

It isn't just "us" on here that have been critical neither, so does he mean no one in the entire country?

Anyway, it's all a bit of humour aimed at something that was cack.

I’m sure you know more than her about what ever it is you do for a living.

She’s a fully uefa licensed coach and is qualified also through a track record of winning football matches at the top level of women’s football for a long time. And she’s paid handsomely as a result

To suggest she does not know more about football than you do, is quite the statement!

Strange how people see things differently. I thought Reilly was excellent. Told to come inside to create some rotation and free some space up for Rice on the outside. Caused them problems and was a massive part of how much control we had.

Missed a sitter obviously

Aye meant more defensively and being a bit exposed. Tremendous going forward.

Most of their success seemed to come down his side, but a lot of that was his lack of cover. Not his fault perse but with Stones next to him and Anderson not getting across he looks a bit of a worry defensively to me, especially against someone proper.

Looked better when Bellers was slightly deeper and covering.

I think the lad is fucking brilliant, just looked slightly exposed at times. He'll be reet.

I thought the chalk board memes were funny and I thought it was quite humorous that they’d seemingly put her in a kitchen.

To then start singling out what she’s wearing, as though as a woman, she owes to us to look better, or about her voice etc, I thought was a bit crass

You mention Stones there and I do think he struggled. He’d do well to keep his spot. Went to ground too easily a couple of times and looked nervous whenever the ball was around him. Could tell he’s not played as much footy

imagine watching that game as a neutral last night then learning there's been a debate whether bellingham should start or not

It's all opinions but he gets the shirt over Rogers every time for me.

It was a bizarre. You had newspapers and 'journalists' basically doing hit pieces on him and writing him off. Weird cunts lol

Is Guehi carrying an injury or something?

Was wondering that as well, as I’d have thought he should be starting. Saying that if we are going to play with the intensity like the second half TT will need to use the squad to the full wrt resting players and using subs. A balance needed as we need to progress and maintain momentum, whilst also keeping key players fresh and fit if we go the course.

Find it absolutely mind blowing and not just last night either.

It's an absolute top of the shop elite player.

Even those comments about feeling loved were taken completely out of context and he was actually on about unused players and subs all feeling loved together and unified. Instead the press made it out like he was on about him 🙄

O'Reilly's a bit of a miles higher level version of the debate we've kicked around over Conway. Pep already had him play left midfield quite a bit and saw him as a real threat in that area. Tuchel's taking a bit of chance with him at LB in a 4 but he grew into it and was steadier in the defensive work 2nd half.

Generally the whole 4 looked a bit wobbly first half, bit better 2nd, though Pickford wasn't helping, had one of his wired nights where he couldn't keep himself calm or calm those in front if him.

Our strengths are undoubtedly loaded in forward areas and it'll be a more exciting ride than recent tournaments for sure, wherever we end up

I'm just glad Pickford found football otherwise he'd deffo have ended up on top of a house somewhere throwing roof tiles at police.

At half time, when the debate started, he had been poor. Not the only one, and it was perfectly reasonable to be questioning him.

It's not the first time he has gone missing neither.

Nevertheless, in the second, they were all good and no complaints from anyone.

I agree that memes are funny, there would have different ones plug it had been a bloke because it was such a shit idea.

How that then morphs into people on here thinking they are just as knowledgable as her or not understanding that she gets paid the big bucks because of that knowledge and experience is classic WWAys. The fact people say she is not dressed properly or talks funny is just pathetic. The fact they are stuck in studio in Manchester is also shit.

Thought England were a btech version of Bolton last night.

First half clearly the better team with better players but somehow go in level at halftime. Second half lots better but still wobbly till the 4th went in, despite being the better team. If they want to reach proper Bolton levels they needed to concede then score in injury time.

Lot of debate about Bellingham but he is on his day world class. Or in last nights example ‘on his second half’ , his whole attitude was better, their first goal he was tackled and though no free kick given he just sat on floor. Second half he was fighting back winning balls. Pretty clear from half time interview management not happy. But no panic, just go out and execute the plan properly.

Kane is world class, how the fuck they did not him for second ? Bit like leaving Sam Dalby free 😂😂

Overall it is an excellent start, think Croatia qualified unbeaten, they are no mugs. Modric looks like long double career as a footballer and wicked witch has caught up with him

Alkie gambling addict talking shite. Although to his credit, we did get £400k from City due to his "change of heart" when he signed for us for a few hours.
