The Chief Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 1 hour ago, LondonOwl313 said: 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 Saka is a defensive winger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.. he doesn’t score many, 6 in 60 odd for Arsenal, and his main strength is pressing and tracking back defending. There are others in the squad in his position with much better attacking stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably the best attacking outlet we had at times in the last tournament 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chief Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Just admit you meant 7 defensive players and not 8 and we can all move on with our lives For what it's worth I agree that England do play too defensively and it was a waste of talent sitting on the bench in terms of Sancho, Grealish, Foden and Saka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not to say he’s rubbish or anything just that he’s not the best in the squad at attacking. It’s a bit like Wednesday playing Marvin Johnson or Brown in the left forward position.. would rather see Windass/Shodipo/Sow there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Shaw Rice Phillips Sterling Mount Grealish Kane This is the frustrating thing about England, the team tonight looks quite balanced attack and defence wise so we’ll probably win 2/3-0 and be comfortable. Just annoying when it gets to the tournaments we play every game looking for 1-0, no idea why when during qualifying we win nearly every game comfortably playing our more attack minded players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
