Lovely ball from Grealish, great header from DCL. The man is on fire atm.

Really happy for Grealish and DCL - showing what they can do.

Great assist from Mount there.

Good to see Pope making a good claim for number 1 too.

Took a nasty one to the head there, but just shrugged it off.

It’s already well established Pope is considerably better than Pickford it’s just whether Southgate has the balls to drop his number 1.

Memeing Southgate, please ignore

Pickford was made to look a really good keeper by how crap Sunderland were out pitch. He makes too many mistakes and can be quite erratic. Everton will be back in the market for a permanent keeper come next transfer window.

Pope just seems so much calmer too. Henderson back on the bench at United makes me sad.

Bit disappointed with Saka. But then I don’t think LB is his best position. He’s better staying up towards the opponents half. Maybe Southgate should try him there for 15 minutes or so.

Yeah this formation isn’t really working

wales not posing any threat so we don’t need 5 defenders

It would be interesting to see how Pope did at a bigger club with the added pressure and the expectancy of him being able to distribute the ball better and sweep up things. He does make quite a fair few mistakes himself, or has done in the past but doesn't have the scrutiny because he's at little old Burnley.

Saka isn’t even listed as a defender on the Arsenal website. He’s been moved from defenders to midfielders. Coming from a LB position is making it too hard for him to use his pace.

As you say, the result isn’t really overly important and Wales are barely threatening. No need to keep these players pegged towards their own half.

I think that ultimately Henderson will become number one. Agreed regarding Pope needing a bigger team to take a chance on him.

Henderson needs a club too.. You could add him into the Pop bracket too tbf. He needs to be playing at a big club.

Made up for Coady and DCL, first goals for England they must be buzzing.

Moothead2 · 8 Oct 2020 at 21:17

Wondered what the hell Mings had done to his hair. It was Reece James

Jokester · 8 Oct 2020 at 21:20

Pick it out.

Psycho Ned · 8 Oct 2020 at 21:21

Wales defenders allergic to the 6 yard box?!
