Sefton owl Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I know he plays for L**** but glad Bamford finally got his chance, although Ings probably should have got a call up and Greenwood! Certainly a good headache to have. I know it’s for the world cup but I suspect I’m one of many who really couldn’t care less about the next one. Once it’s done and dusted that country will face even more questions and legal action. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Lol we’re the opposite of Hungary for goals under Boregate. I’m sure we’ll play 8 defenders and grind out a 1-0 win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a real achievement in a group of players that most of you guys were screaming at Southgate not to put together and instead just play Rooney and co again I don't get why some people still try to make out they're all edgy experts instead of just enjoying the success 5 1 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it was really an achievement, we had the second best squad in the tournament after France and should have been winning it once they went out and given we were effectively at home. The Italy game was a case of what if.. just had the regret that we didn’t go for it. Apparently a £100m player can’t be trusted to play.. we must be the only country where that’s the case. The only game where we played well was Ukraine and funnily enough that’s the only one where I agreed with 10 out of the 11 in the line up. When you play attacking players it gives the opposition something to think about. Most games we underperformed by offering next to no goal threat because we played 8 defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England are like Sheff Wed, some good moments, lack of threat in the final third, have a free kick 20 yards from goal and send it back to keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we haven’t won owt, but the last 3 tournaments we’ve finished 4th, 3rd, and 2nd. We’re defo one of the best teams atm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baffling when you think about it ps - can you name the 8 defenders we played? Ta x Walker, Stones, Maguire, Trippier, Shaw, Phillips, Rice, Saka. Defensive players I mean.. a balanced side would be 5 and 5 That was against Germany.. we played 7 against Denmark and Italy. Obviously we can win games doing this, because the quality of the players is higher than the opposition. But it would be better if we played attacking players. Its a bit like Wednesday in League 1.. I think we’ve got the best squad in the league now, I’m sure if we didn’t play most of our best attackers we’d still win more than we lose and would finish 5th or something. But the bottom line is we should be trying to win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s 5 players who play in the back line, 2 defensive midfielders and a defensive winger. It wasn’t really a surprise that Kane struggled.. he scored 1 penalty and 2 goals against Ukraine when attackers were played so he only got 1 goal in 6 games from open play in the games where Southgate set us up not to lose. In the Premier League he’s consistently scored at a much greater rate than that for about 7 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
