I’m not particularly strong in any opinion on the Trent saga but glad he’s been given a game when the defence was cr*p last time.
At least if he’s cr*p defensively he’s got other good attributes…

Before the red card we were very fortunate.
Our defence is as poor as ive seen it in many years.

Just flicked on to this and have watched 10 minutes.
Will turn over in a minute, because what I've seen is rubbish.
Happy to provide this public service, btw.

Am I the only one who thinks saka is burnt out like Stirling got. Yet another poor performance. I'd replace him with gibbs white and move Rogers wider like he plays for Chelsea.

Absurd cross from Trent, ridiculously high quality. You simply can’t leave that kind of quality out of a tournament squad. We had Ezri Konsa trying to whip crosses in against Argentina

Just put him on as a straight replacement for Rogers. Or am I the only one to think Rogers brings nothing to the party - a bit of a waste of time IMO.

Kinda happy for TAA (and for England’s sake).
Whilst I do suspect he might be a bit full of himself (not unusual in the modern generation), he’s probably had enough of a reality check with club and country to warrant this chance, which he’s taken.
Right now I can’t think of a right back option near consideration for the squad that’s miles more solid at the back than him (and without the creative ability). So imo a good thing he’s going to be in serious contention for more games in future.

It was 'rinse and repeat' football – no player willing to take a risk and try to break the lines, just pass it off to someone else. I guess it's the difference between watching a team who's players know each other and train together versus a team of supposedly talented strangers.

I thought he was pretty good and a lot of overlapping with Gordon and defensively sound. He's the best English left backat the moment.

I feel like I watch a different England team to the one watched by people that post on here during games.
Not a classic match maybe but a decent win in a tricky away game. Dominated the ball against difficult opponents to break down, but scored two good goals and virtually unthreatened at the other end. Alexander-Arnold and Hall played well. Gordon suddenly looks like one of our best players.

Maybe but even a lot of Newcastle fans aren't that enthused, saying he's "made of glass", "Much better for us at LB than RB, and not as good as Hall at LB", or more extremely "He’s been sh*t and phoning it in for 6 months".
I think the more glaring omission of mine was Djed Spence. Competition should be between him and Trent as it stands imo.

Livramento is having a ‘Hickey spell’, where he can play on both sides, but can’t get any consistency because of regular injuries.”

I didn't catch all the game, but what I did see reinforced a lot of my thinking...
Rogers is a perfectly fine player, but I just feel we're a weaker team with him on the pitch. The midfield has no balance, imo. I think Trent and Hall are likely our best fullbacks. At least if James isn't fit, which is most of the time.
Saka looks like Arteta has been with him too long. All the speed coached out of him. Just look at what happened with Rashford and now Gordon, being exposed to Barca and Flick training. Huge improvements.
Interesting to see who Tuchel sticks with in the following games.

I will never not hear his name as "Steve Mc Meena Maanen" thanks to a bonkers commentator.

In our house we used to call him "Steve McMahon-again"
