Barry Cartman Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 If anything good comes of that match, it's Lee ****ing Dixon can't spend 60 minutes going on about Grealish and them throwing him up on the big screen, **** me so cringeworthy Awful game, no idea why Foden went off, Kane and Sterling did nothing all game. Have some balls Southgate and take 1 of Rice or Philips off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartwork Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Felt almost arrogant the way England played.

Haguey Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Meh, we're still topping the group. Auld rivals games are always tight (though rarely 0-0 ) Kane should be dropped for the tournament as he's either off his game or injured. Absolute passenger. Start Rashford or DCL instead. James unconvincing, Rice/Phillips simply no good against a low block. Mings played nervous. We need Maguire and Henderson back. Pickford or Foden probably MOTM. Grealish didn't do enough off the bench to earn a start imo. Think all he did was get fouled. Hopefully beat the Czechs and hopefully Scotland turn Croatia over to go through Boring, boring night.

Pukey Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Only one of Phillips/Rice should play against Czech Republic. Against other teams playing them both has purpose and can really help us, but if a team is gonna sit deep against us their game just isn't about driving forward with the ball and playing passes between the lines that you need.

enigmatic Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Well the only possible explanation for Southgate's approach to substitutions is some kind of 4D chess to try to finish second or third in the group. Eleventy billion pounds of talent on the bench and he kept on Sterling, whose own mother would have subbed him off out of sympathy, and took the best attacking player on the pitch by three miles off first. And forgot about the other three subs, because obviously we don't have any other decent players in the squad, and we were playing far too brilliantly to consider a change. Looking forward to Ramsdale up front in the next game tbh. Might run around a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdunk Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Kane was garbage, Rice and Phillips spent the entire game trying to play the exact same position, net result was that we were trying to play possession football with about 9 men. Southgates solution was to put Rashford up front and play big diagonals to him. Baffled. Awful, awful performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

profii Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Gareth Southgates big brain play to setup a group final match with czech where a draw guarantees the easier knockout stage...

ajw10 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Weird game. Scotland played like they knew they had to get something, England played like they knew a draw was enough. Felt like Luke Shaw had several moments and ****ed up every single one. His delivery was awful and his lack of energy at the end was a disgrace. Chilwell should come in. Bit surprised that Southgate didn't bring Grealish on and Kane is surely close to being dropped. I reckon his issues with Spurs are getting to him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootador Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Frightening, we've got so much attacking talent but we have a manager that can't get a functioning system to get them involved, nor the balls to change it when it isn't.

CFuller Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I was fine with us battling to a 1-0 win over Croatia, but this was the chance for us to really send out a message, like Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands have. Instead, we've served up our most tepid attacking performance since the 2010 World Cup against Algeria. Scotland got their tactics spot-on and deserve the draw. In fairness, though, if we can't beat them, that surely bursts any slim hopes we might have had of going all the way. I went into the Euros with lowered expectations anyway and would have been delighted if we got to the Quarters. I can't imagine France, Germany or Portugal would've been frightened of us before tonight... and now even Spain and Sweden will be rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of us facing them.

Katarian Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 That game is the perfect example of why we never win a tournament under Southgate. Terrible performance and the manager does virtuality nothing to change it. You've got five substitutions in this tournament and you don't even use the usual three. Kane should have been hooked earlier had awful game, Sterling left on to stink up the whole 90, and persisting with both Rice and Philips for the entire match when they've done nothing to link the defence and attack. Too timid from Southgate. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajw10 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Find it so frustrating that Sterling is getting the bulk of the criticism. He was the only one making good runs in the box towards the end. He stays on because his movement is exceptional, and the likes of Kane, Foden, Mount, Grealish etc should have enough quality on the ball to offset his weaker technical ability. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunkerossian Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) This is what happens when you know in advance which groups "cross".
