England reaction to Nations League fall shorture, Wales face Iceland: football news – dwell | Soccer

Rob Kelly gets in touch too: “A thought for the blog – perhaps England’s joiners equitable aren’t that excellent. How many of them could we say are excellent enough to alter games when we’re up agetst it? It’s all very well seeing airy for Arsenal/City/Liverpool when you’ve got Haaland, Odegard or VVD to deal withling the game but when these guys join for England, suddenly the onus is on them – and as we saw in the summer, they don’t repartner comprehend how to react.

“It’s all a bit of a stress with Kane’s star seemingly fading. How standardly have his rapacious instincts bailed us out over the past eight years? Without him, I wonder if we even have a repartner world class joiner who can apshow the team up a level and turn a very needy fall shorture into a lean, undeserved triumph. Bellingham seems to be the best hope on that front but he’s still quite youthful.

“I’ve also got a theory on whether we repartner ought to be using ‘lesser’ joiners from petiteer clubs who actupartner have to apshow responsibility week in, week out, but I’ll exit that for another day.”

Krishna gets in touch: “Should an vivaciousd logo of a knee-jerk exalter the Three Lions. The vague accessible, fans and even inestablished inestablishers materialize too speedy to condemn or deify a deal withr after equitable one unpreferable/ preferable result.”

“And also the whole narrative of “England lost” taking centrestage is depriving the Greece team the accolades they deserve – more so given the difficult mental trauma thay joined the game with (probably that is what made them go that extra mile and triumph it for Georgie).”

The second point is well made.

She blinded me with science.

Unenjoy last season when their 20.8 sboilings-per-game mediocre was the highest in the league, Liverpool’s high xG this season is not so much due to sboiling volume. Slot’s Liverpool have mediocred 15.3 sboilings a game in the Premier League, only averaging restricteder under Klopp in 2018-19 (15.1). It was busy at both finishs for Liverpool in 2023-24 as their 10.9 sboilings faced last season was their highest mediocre under Klopp. That’s come down to 9.1 this season.

Are they seeing after the ball better now, as Slot wanted them to? Liverpool mediocre 570.1 passes a game in the Premier League this season, drop than every filled Klopp season. However, although they are finisheavoring restricteder passes, their accuracy (86.6%) is higher than in any league campaign under the German. Liverpool’s mediocre haveion of 60.3% is their lowest since 2015-16 but is still the third highest in the Premier League this season behind only Manchester City (63.5%) and Tottenham (62.4%).

WSL enroll materializeance-originater Jordan Nobbs intersee here:

You have to give yourself a pat on the back. You’re not sitting there counting the number of games you have joined. But I leank I did see how difficult I had toiled to get there. I want to finishelight those in football and not equitable let them pass by.

Last night’s Football Weekly – it was enrolled last night – is here.

Should the game have gone ahead?

Some quotes from Dominic Solanke, who came on agetst Greece and set up Jude Bellingham’s goal.

It was excellent, it would have been a lot better if we deal withd to get the triumph tonight, but it didn’t quite go to schedule. We didn’t join how we wanted to. I am over the moon to be out there, last time was a extfinished time ago so a lot has happened since then but I was prentd to be out there.

It was amazing, every cap for your country you need to treaconfident it becaengage there is so much competition, so it is another cap.”

On our day we are excellent enough to beat anyone, we have got excellent joiners all over the pitch. Some games are difficult, we didn’t quite deal with to get it right. We are blessed enough to have another game in a restricted days so we have a chance to go out there and get a triumph. We need to rest and recover and go aget.

Jacob Steinberg was unsparing with his ratings from Wembley.

Elsewhere, fantastic triumph for Ireland in Finland. If you can, try and discover Robbie Brady’s goal. Here he is speaking in Helsinki.

Then, that very odd press conference from Lee Carsley:

“I was quite surpascfinishd after the last camp in terms of the job’s mine and it’s mine to dissee and all the rest of it,” the 50-year-ageder said. “My rrerent has been evident. I’m doing three camps, there’s three games left and then hopefilledy I’ll be going back to the 21s. It’s had almost no impact.”

Carsley, who stepped into the ageder role adhereing Gareth Southgate’s departure, was asked to elucidate his comments on three more occasions. “I said at the begin I wouldn’t rule myself in or out,” he persistd. “That’s still the case. I’m more than sootheable in my position, where I am. The rrerent was evident. I’m sootheable and self-promised with that. After the first camp I didn’t get too excited or think too much. I’m very conscious that this job is one of the best jobs in the world.”

Let’s begin with Barney Ronay’s withering verdict.

No mistrust Carsley has the best intentions with these games, one of them being to try and get the England job by making people enjoy him and leank he’s a new leang. But this was also the most shapeless, weirdly conceited finisheavor to reoriginate the modest notion of international football agetst a team that can actupartner join.
