You were right, he did play...and what a quality little player he is. I got in the ground quite late and didn't see the line up, but after a couple of minutes made a note about the Polish no. 10..."tricky, nice balance, good touch, gets in good positions/finds pockets of spaces well." I realized it was Szymanski after later seeing the team sheet and then he scores an absolute worldie freekick. I knew he was a good player but when you see him up close you see just what a good prospect he is. Yep I was there too. A sensational free kick. England looked very good but Poland defended stubbornly. Foden and Tomori stood out for me. Didn't realise Maddison was playing so he surprisingly didn't make an impact. For Poland - Bielik (classy player) , Szymanski and credit to the keeper for 2 great saves. Foden was good, especially first half. He's so elegant in possession, has unbelievable balance and plays between the lines well. Tomori rightly named MOTM for me, but I also enjoyed the performance of Reiss Nelson who got an excellent assist. Credit to Poland I thought they looked a decent side and were a lot better than I expected. They defended well and in the second half got a lot of men behind the ball and frustrated England. The save after about 20 mins in the first half from Jonjoe Kenny's shot looked excellent from where I was sat. Poland always seem to produce decent keepers and I thought Dragowski might play, but that lad Grabara looks a good prospect too on tonight's evidence. |

Polish mate had a good night.....he said pitch looking wonderful but stadium is sh!t ! Haha!
Didn't like it, can't see the other side of pitch if in first few rows.
Also didn't like the area where he parked his car! ....I did tell him, that's Ashton for you. But I guess depending on where he lives in Poland, Trashton appears to be a sh!thole..
Did wonder why there was a helicopter up last night too.. ?

All great fun and a really high standard of football. |
