Those are given for sure

Shocking ball form Doucoure on that chance.

Not a great moment & it started with his poor touch however he made a great recovery run to win the ball back. Once he had the ball back he was pressed by 2 players. What the CB closest to him, offers no movement or help in that situation. Whilst it’s not a good moment for Patto, that CB could have dropped 5 yards to offer a simple out ball but didn’t. 

Thrilled for the guy that he'll be going to the Euros

I'm watching the game now, at 35 mins when he has just had a moment leading to Belgium's 2nd goal. Horrible defending. England have some serious youth & potential in this squad, shame that a lot of it will get over looked while Southgate is in.

Hopefully that’s his howler out the way for both club & country!

That's what my lad said👍

If he makes a mistake you can bet they’ll say he’s an ex-Everton player then. 

Dunk is so bad.

Great to see Southgate with a young, highly rated, left footed centre back on the pitch bench...only a friendly so we should be looking to the future.
Dunk then demonstrates why you shouldn't play a shite, aging, right-sided centre back on the left. Southgate is a total clown.

God it’s 10pm Monday night, I’ve had a few drinks & some how managed to watch all of that.

Like I've said from the beginning, they've backed themselves into a corner by starting with points deductions. That should never have been the first step.

Silly season starting early.

Even if what Jarrad is saying is true it won't make up for Pickford being a bit shouty. We all know that's why he'll be leaving.

you can see in just this forum alone - how a 30-40 word article has be dragged accross the coals, sensationalised and blow out of any sort of proportion, and now there are tens if not hurdreds of thousands of words written about an incident but that in realliy 99.99% have no fucking clue about any details, peoples intent etc as they where not privy to it first hand - the vast majoiryt is conjector to suit any individuals own narratives.
There was an uncomfortable or embarresing (word used in the original article) 'incident' and even in the souce article its sound like I was simply dealt with fairly qucikly like mature grown up. A senior Player appear comfortable in approaching the boss to call him out about it (in original article) and the boss apologies for it (in the original article).
A sign off the times and perhaps subtle difference in the expectations and banter (for want of a better word) of different generations.
I am sure everybody will learn from the incident, and that all you can resonably expect from people.
 

The players will have forgotten about it by the time the flight landed back in England. Lost respect after a bit of a gag went wrong? But had the balls to apologise? 
I have more respect for someone who holds their hands up when they make a mistake. If it’s the first mistake he’s made then I’m sure he’s forgiven most of the team for their mistakes in his time here.

Hey now not everyone 

It’s more the “he had to pick Patterson & picked his mark” comment which interprets it was a planned moment out of motive.
Simply, I don’t know all the details & clearly not as privy as Patto is to the ins & outs of the inner running of the club. Patto could have said something completely out of line, it could have been a very minor thing that became a bit more than intended, it could have been an act of bullying. Point is I don’t know exactly but from most reports an apology was given & acceptable, which sounds like it’s dealt with. I’m also not saying it’s okay to slap anyone for the record but there is context to be considered.

So you’re telling me Dyche went to a team dinner with a pre conceived plan to slap Patterson because he identifies him as an easy target amongst the squad to exert some authority? Like, seriously?

Again, without any real conclusive evidence this is just a ridiculous stance to take.
No disrespect to you but the only people who have jumped on this are the ones who want Dyche out. Put your feelings to the side for a moment and let the facts comes out about the situation.
