@challo_drfc Is it the managers fault that we can't finish we had most shots on target yet the players can't score. We had most possession yet the players make individual mistakes and can't defend.

I’m sorry I’ve held off and held off and I love the bloke but we can’t

@jtdukr Most possession most shots on target lose both centre halves not one player any good but let's blame the manager

Yeah get McCann gone. Thanks for last season but he's not up to it 🤷‍♂️ hasn't been this season at all. Can't stick to a starting 11. Shit recruitment in both windows. Team of good league two players. Tactics or lack of are absolutely horrible. It's disgusting. #DRFC

@RedMoshMan_RTID Molyneux not played for months Bailey make two mistakes Middleton poor Lee underwhelming. Hanlan not a striker money for players is not good enough

@Stevedcfd If we survive this season it will be an absolute miracle, coz I genuinely don't know where our next win is coming from. What's more and I'm not saying GM out but he's got to take 50% of the blame for all of it. His players, his line up, his tactics, his mistakes.#drfc

I wonder if the players and GM himself have realised that 50 points won't be enough to survive this year. #drfc

@RodinSimi Because you knocked out of the CL 8. 2 you haven't got another game for 8 days why wouldn't you play your best players.

It's really embarrassing to start Cole Palmer and João Pedro at home against Port Vale. Liam Rosenior is so scared of his job, he has started the best players against the league 1 side.

@adam__1098 The pitch wont stop us fighting at the top end of league 1. It will be playing budget to bring in players that are top end league 1 players.

Interesting comments from Mols about the pitch but he’s only saying what everyone in the stands say. Big decisions need to be made, especially if we want to push top end L1. Stop the rugby team from playing on it and prioritise the football #drfc

@talkSPORT Premier league is turning into set piece league. But the overrated skill players in Foden and Palmer didn't turn up last night. Both will struggle to get on the plane.

🤦‍♂️ "We turned into Set Piece FC... Tuchel can't get his players to play well for most of the game!" 😡 "There's plenty of managers who can lump the ball in the box and don't cost what Tuchel costs!" Adrian Durham isn't impressed with Thomas Tuchel after England's Japan loss! 😤

@talkSPORT Overrated players who are not world class. Foden and Palmer were both poor and did nothing. Wasted Rodgers on the right instead of playing him in the 10 position. Gordon likes space to run in he didn't have that was poor. Last night makes no difference.

🤷‍♂️ Cundy: "We're not a brilliant team!" 😤 O'Hara: "We should be a brilliant team!" O'Hara & Cundy debate England's World Cup chances after their loss to Japan! 😬

@henrywinter Palmer Foden both poor in the 10 role Roger's should have been there all game. Rashford better than Gordon

England so narrow. Where is the width? Gordon coming inside, Rogers coming inside. Full-backs trying to provide some width. One good cross from O'Reilly. White pushing on. But otherwise so narrow. And the false 9 isn't working. England not able without Kane. #ENG

@CraigHope_DM Overrated

Cole Palmer has lost the ball 10 times so far (8 passes, 2 dribbles), more than any player on the pitch. What has happened to the player we thought England could build around?

@qanxsterbob Grant brought him back as he's missed the last 5 games so being with us for the rest of the season we can monitor his problems and progress

So who’s injured 🤨#DRFC

@SkySportsNews Two second eleven players for their clubs and Jude when he's fit for his club See Sky sports wants to bull up the premier league players.

Ben White, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden all train ahead of England's upcoming friendlies 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@footballfunnys It's an embarrassment for Tuchel he's played 7 times for Arsenal this season he said he didn't want to be selected in the last 4 years . Just because he part of an Arsenal squad he's good enough for this friendly.

Ben White has been recalled to the England squad four years after reportedly refusing to represent his country. If you turn your back on it once, that should be it. Disappointed in Tuchel for this one. 🤔

@talkSPORT Yet a second string RB who refused to play for England is selected by the manager of England and he joins up with the squad. Trent is now behind James , Livermento Quensa and now White ridiculous

Arsenal have had FIVE players pull out of international duty just hours after losing the Carabao Cup final. William Saliba 🇫🇷 Gabriel Magalhaes 🇧🇷 Jurrien Timber 🇳🇱 Eberechi Eze 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Leandro Trossard 🇧🇪 Is this a worrying sign for the Gunners? 🤕

@ZachLowy He's going to have to Leave the Premier league and go to a top more technical side in Europe. Arsenal have stopped playing technically good football for pulling shirts long throws set pieces where do Saka fit in to that.

If Bukayo Saka wants to be considered on the same level as Lamine Yamal, Lionel Messi and Michael Olise, he’s going to have to start performing in games like today. It’s all fine to deliver against Brighton and Wolves, but these are the games that actually determine legacies.

@TomCantonMedia Yet Tuchel calls up the reserve Right back for Arsenal who refuse to play for England ludicrous decision when Trent can't get in the side.

More Arsenal players have pulled out of international duty including Gabriel, Saliba and Trossard. Wonder if this will become a bigger story than it does when other players of other clubs do this during this break. 🤔

@henrywinter Tuchel is going backwards with his selection Trent should have been in the original squad same as Watkins. It not about best players it's about what suits Tuchel system

Ben White's return to the England fold after his lengthy self-imposed exile borders on the insulting to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who continues to be overlooked by Thomas Tuchel at right-back. Reece James injured, Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier retired internationally and now the withdrawal of Jarell Quansah (seen as right-back cover by Tuchel). And Alexander-Arnold still not called. Real Madrid's right-back in the Champions League. A player whose passing can change games. A tournament shootout penalty-taker. White drafted into squad because of injury to Quansah. Be interesting to see the reaction of England fans - let alone Alexander-Arnold. White has to explain why he turned his back on England for three and a half years. Expect some skilled FA video content. Gareth Southgate said in March 2024 that White had indicated to him that he didn't want to be considered for England. There's always been speculation about a fall-out between White and Southgate's assistant Steve Holland (Southgate denied this). Tuchel clearly doesn't rate Alexander-Arnold, a situation that gets ever stranger. White obviously a more defensive full-back; can get forward but lacks Alexander-Arnold's impact. He did well when coming on for Dani Carvajal against Atletico last night. Made Vinicius Junior's second goal. Harvey Barnes, who has one cap, comes in for the injured Eberechi Eze for the squad to face Uruguay on Friday and Japan on March 31. #ENG

@bendrfcsmith97 Agree but he's still not good enough for above mid table league 1 along with Middleton and Hanlan. They are what we've got but if we can afford it next season we need better

Really good showing from Gibson btw. Work rate top notch, his work off the ball was great and didn't too badly on it He needed that after the faith shown to start him

@henrywinter He knows what Watkins can do and Trent and Shaw. 11 other players only there for the second game. Steele there for training keeper. He's using this to look at players he's not seen much of. He will then decide his squad for World Cup. They might come from this 35 or not

No Watkins, Trent, Shaw. Maguire, Mainoo, Calvert-Lewin, Solanke, Tomori return. Steele, Garner called up. Very significant squad, 35 names, World Cup 26 comes from this. #ENG

@HDavisDRFC Listen to Grant McCann we are doing it because the pitch is poor

Matty Pearson hoofing it whenever the ball is at his feet is a great advert for the “Get it forward” brigade #drfc
