A second defeat in three leaves England's UEFA Nations League and Olympic hopes hanging by a thread, but they themselves already have the answers to get out of this position...
Nice to see Walsh looking more like herself and pinging the ball around the place, though it's seems to have been a while since Stanway really put in a dominant performance. Some variety in midfield wouldn't go amiss.
I might be in a minority but not having an Olympic team wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, feel like some of those players could do with an entire summer away from football.
I like the idea of the Nations League in general, it us of course far more preferable than beating sides by 10 plus goals, that didn't help us or them in any way whatsoever.
But onto this England side now, if we get relegated, does that put Sarina's job in jeopardy....as surely she wasn't signed to see us get relegated......was she??
We need a manager/head coach who is far more flexible, all Sarina does is pick the same players time after time, consequences be dammed....
Alex Greenwood was the reason we lost in Holland.....yet was she dropped, were there any consequences....nope.....Sarina sees how ill disciplined she is at club level in important games (see getting sent off v Chelsea), and she STILL picks her....that is crazy.....actions need to, and should have consequences, no matter who you are.
Why not play Le Tiss or Millie Turner, both of whom have drastically out performed her in recent times, both are younger than her as well....
But nope, Sarina is just unbelievably poor when it comes to player (wo)management.
Why the heck are there 4 keepers, and why do Roebuck, & Hampton get called up when they don't play at club level??
Why is it they can get call ups whilst not playing at club level, but other excellent players like Millie Turner, Rachel Laws, who actually do play, do not.
Journalists who don't call out Sarina on this double standard, are simply failing in their role.
Too many seem to not want to, or unwilling to be critical of Sarina in any way, and this doesn't help, being cheerleaders of Sarina just doesn't help genuine constructive criticism to get through.
In terms of players who shouldn't be in the team v the Dutch in December (actions should have consequences) Greenwood, Stanway, Russo for a start.
Put Le Tiss at CB, Zelem & Clinton in the midfield, and Daly up top.
We need change, "doing thr same thing (playing the same players) and expecting different results".....is what exactly......it is certainly something familiar.....
Stagnation is what we are currently seeing, and that is solely down to Sarina, we need change in the team, if we don't, then we should have a change in the dugout, for someone who has the guts and who is willing to make changes, and show that actions need to have consequences.
Appreciate your opinion, but far too much there for me to take in!
But, I don't think Wiegman's job would be at risk, she has a lot of credit in the bank after the Euros and the World Cup.
All I'll say about Greenwood is she was the best player for England at the World Cup. She made one error against the Netherlands and England missed her when she went off last night.
More flexibility? 100%, but you've picked the wrong player to focus on, in my opinion of course.
Okay, fair enough about Greenwood, personally I think playing the same players over and over again, and expecting different results is, we'll hoi know the rest.....
We need change, Greenwood out, Le Tiss in, Stanway out Clinton in, we need to be giving the younger players, the next generation a chance, otherwise why call them up??
Sarina has an unbelievably poor record at blooding in the younger players, I mean she still played Ellen White in that 20-0 win at Doncaster, which was always a foregone conclusion before kick off of that game, rather than plsy a younger player from the start.
It needs to be made abundantly clear to her, that she can't go on ignoring the young players, just because she likes the older ones.
What exactly is the plan to replace Bronze, who is her deputy??
She can't go on forever, we need to think about the transition to her replacement, but right now, it seems that Sarina only plays Bronze at right back, and no one else gets given a chance to develop.
Relegation and not thinking about the future, just isn't and shouldn't be good enough.
Yes she gave us our best moment since 1966, but we can't dine out on that forever, we have to think of what is next.
If we do get relegated, them there definitely needs to be serious questions asked as to how that has happened, and why certain players have played when they shouldn't have.
Too many free passes, to play regularly when they shouldn't be doing for my liking.
Relegation has to have consequences, it shouldn't be viewed as acceptable, if that is what happens, I certainly hope that it doesn't, as I don't want to see us relegated, but we don't look good enough to stay up right now.

They probably could, but I'd guarantee every one of them wants to be there!
