Same old England. Suspect we’ll scrape past these average sides and then lose to someone decent.
Kane’s still in the back pocket of some bloke that’s probably got work in the morning. 50 minutes in he’d touched the ball twice. Even the referee had touched it once by then. Bellingham is very likeable though. 16-06-2024, 09:26 PM in response to #54162
Many people forget we struggled against Croatia in Euro 2020.
We went on to the final. 16-06-2024, 09:31 PM in response to #54165 16-06-2024, 09:42 PM (This post was last modified: 16-06-2024, 09:47 PM by Bullsgold.) in response to #54131
Many people also forget that we always say that it's more important to beat the shit teams than it is to play well, then we're always surprised when we lose to good teams having not gained any momentum against the shit teams!
Anyway, it's not the end of the world. I expect a different starting XI for the next game. 16-06-2024, 09:53 PM in response to #54168
Serbia played a back eight for much of the game. The better teams are unlikely to be as negative and England should be more positive against them.
Thought Guehi was excellent in defence. 16-06-2024, 09:59 PM (This post was last modified: 16-06-2024, 10:00 PM by Bullsgold.) in response to #54171 Bonzo HFC Wrote: Serbia played a back eight for much of the game.

We need to start finding a way to give all of these teams a massive arse pounding. Guehi was good, though, innit. I had to agree with the missus that he was almost unbearably cute in the interview after the game. JUST A LITTLE CUTIE. Now get out there and fucking win properly you twats! 16-06-2024, 10:15 PM in response to #54156 Mrtfc Wrote: This is a national team. The midfield should contain midfielders, the defence defenders etc. Shoehorning someone in cos you're a moron isn't going to work. You mean like players such as Phillip Lahm, Camavinga, Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, David Alaba, who all play/played in different positions in their national team compared to their club teams. 16-06-2024, 10:18 PM (This post was last modified: 16-06-2024, 10:19 PM by Bullsgold.) in response to #54175 TomMc Wrote: You mean like players such as Phillip Lahm, Camavinga, Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, David Alaba, who all play/played in different positions in their national team compared to their club teams. Almost all of those players can defend though. We're playing a defender in midfield who can't defend and who has sub-80% pass completion. I didn't sit my MATH but I think that amounts to one in five passes buggering off. |
