(Also Gomes, Palmer, Trafford, Colwill, and Harwood-Bellis. That the class of 2023 almost all making the step up should bode really well for like under Tuchel)

Not to be bias but felt Hall joining the backline did something for England, just gave them a little more comfort with keeping the ball back there and playing out. maybe it's just my magpie eyes tho..

adamclery.bsky.social•108 days ago

Nah you’re not wrong. Whole team was built around just carrying it forward and he was doing that brilliantly. A left-footed left-back at left-back! Who’d have thought!

It's a revelation, wish they had them in my days, amazing how the games moved forward 😄 probably Pep's idea.

Not to mention the .... elephant in the room ....who came on as a sub and did didn't score . Teamwork is more powerful and effective than individual stars .

Just saying.

I thought he was useful! And he's really important to the system at Bayern! But if you want to build a team out of the best talent England currently have he feels like a bit of a square peg in that team.

tazdevil25.bsky.social•106 days ago

Exactly my thoughts.
Harry has a role in an appropriate position and importantly at an appropriate time .

Otherwise he is proving to be a square peg ....as you say . I'm a Spurs fan and had hoped that Kane would have transformed into a playmaking midfielder, as age led to him slowing down.......

tazdevil25.bsky.social•106 days ago

Update . Like the midfield playmaker that Kane demonstrated in the second half of yesterday's match against Ireland.

shame the FA bottled keeping faith with Carsley

adamclery.bsky.social•106 days ago

It is but... I get it. I think if you asked him privately now he'd say he didn't really appreciate all the scrutiny and what a circus it can become. Suspect deep down he's been really put off by the whole thing.

It was far better than last time but then again...

I’m calling it now. Adam Clery for MOTD.

adamclery.bsky.social•106 days ago

I haven't got the collection of bad trainers to be a pundit

worryingcyclist.bsky.social•106 days ago

Don’t worry, just nip down Sports Direct—they do a two-for-one deal on atrociousness

Thanks for the video, and thanks for the lip balm advice 😆
