Yep. England needed a dead ball specialist like Ward-Prowse, for sure. Never really rated Southgate as a manager. Job is too big for him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecap Owl Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 In my office we have a German fan, a couple of Italian fans, and a lone Hungarian! What a hapless bunch of no hopers we are... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Laughing at all this Scotland were brilliant tonight. They worked hard. Defended fantastically well. As they had to as England had most of the ball. We were pedestrian as we always tend to be, passing side to side, back, side to side, back. We just couldn’t thread the ball through and get in behind because as I said Scotland defended well. I thought Scotland got the benefit of the doubt with the officiating. I’d like to bet if it was Adams that went down rather than Sterling in the box, it goes to VAR? Anyway on to Tuesday night now. Totally expecting two defensive midfielders again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPQR-10 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 England are pish. On those two performances - Holland and the Italians would wipe the floor with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonstrix Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Not enough ingenuity or guile from that England side tonight. They should be embarrassed to fail to beat a side who probably only have one or two players who would even get in the England squad. Early days in the tournament, but I agree with all the comments about Southgate. Decent bloke, but not tactically inventive enough to win this tournament in my view. Be delighted if he proves me wrong, but honestly I doubt he will. I think we will be fortunate to make the last 8 and he will be fortunate if he takes us to the World Cup.

Rogers Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Sterling is rubbish and I actually despise his game. Sancho and other need to be given a chance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to like him because he fits the political narrative of the day that the media push, but as a football manager he’s done nothing. If we’d have appointed him in 2016 everyone would say he failed at Boro and isn’t good enough for Wednesday. The 2018 World Cup I’d say was meeting expectations.. any average manager would have beat Tunisia, Panama and Sweden. He failed against Belgium twice and Croatia. Nothing outstanding about it. He’s stubborn and plays a bad formation, leaves out our best players, and seems unable to change anything. He’s like an England version of Pulis, Monk and Jos. From what I’ve seen, Belgium, France, Holland, Italy and Portugal would all beat us comfortably. Germany and Spain are a bit average too but wouldn’t expect to beat them either.

ashley8 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Southgate never been good enough. One of the sad goodie two shoes FA like to pick..... must be quite difficult to take all that attacking talent and make us look boring clueless and 2nd best... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could end up playing Belgium if we finish 3rd. Not much of a plan IMO.

Brissy-owl Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Dont want to play a big gun in the last 16 , they're playing a dodgy game Edited June 18, 2021 by Brissy-owl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camffiti Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) England played their normal Premier paced Chuckle Brother ball Nothing has changed for me We have lots of runners (with the ball. Not in behind), but no one who wants to pass forward Rashford & Sterling rarely offer tangible end product ... Ask the Manchester fans With a lack of service to Kane, our only threats, are long shots from Mount & Foden Edited June 18, 2021 by camffiti 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
