This Belgium side are absolute shite. Martinez will not do a thing with this lot because they are so void of any ideas. 

Costa has looked sharp since coming on for Morata and Silva has been superb. Hazard has been like a second left back trying to cover for the truly shocking Jordan Lukaku, he's a complete mess.

Jordan Lukaku concedes a pen....shock horror.

Courtois looks good though [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji108]

Wilmots was always a scapegoat.

 

The truth of the matter is Belgium are a poor side. Fantastic footballing talent, probably the best in the world, but a side as a group who play poorly together.

Shameful

Jordan Lukaku has to have been picked out of a hat as a supporter, he cannot be a footballer, surely.

Netherlands just conceded and are now Losing 2 - 1 against Greece. (74 minutes played)

 

Netherlands are losing at Home to Greece.

Martinez used to play 3 at the back with Wigan, right? Try that with Belgium if you can't find even a Sunday league level fullback.

the reason why cricketers are better than footballers is because.

nowadays you can't get into a 11 man cricket team unless you are an all rounder.

who can bat and bowl and field well.

if you can do all those things you can get into a cricket team.

 

professional footballers have no excuse to not know how to defend or a midfielder or striker or be a player played in a different position.

because it is a team sport not a solo individual sport.

 

footballers get paid a lot of money and it's a disgrace for footballers to not know how to be a midfielder/defender/striker if they are a player for a certain position. you have to be able to do everything because you are playing in a team sport and you can't just be in a team for one certain aspect.

Wilmots isn't a scapegoat. The man was a joke of a manager.

Bit ridiculous to expect Martinez to solve everything in 3 training sessions. 

 

Our team has three players that are arguably worldclass or close to it. Hazard, Courtois and De Bruyne. That's it. The rest are just good players. 2-3 levels below those 3 and then there's also our fullbacks Meunier and Lukaku who aren't that good but they're the only natural fullbacks we have.

I just watched Brazil vs ecuador and from what I saw, Gabriel Jesus is some potential. Two fantastic goals, Definitely better than anything I've seen from barbosa and he has a good technique both in his first touch and shooting technique. 

Mancity have got some player in him.

Yes that one. Good watch Spain but cringe worthy watching Belgium.

Heard that Costa had a good game? Wanted to ask about Eden but I'm pretty sure he just couldn't be arsed in friendlies.

Costa played well, should of scored but worked hard and put himself about a lot. Eden was solid at LB doing Jordan Lukaku's job for him.
