AdyTaylor Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Walker's guaranteed himself game against Russia Don't like Rooney in the hole in this formation as drops too deep looking for ball and then with Kane & Vardy pushing wide we are giving too much time in the middle forcing CM to come out of position to close down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 The reason your strikers are spending so much time out wide is because we're having all of the ball (or were at least, prior to the red card). I don't really see anything wrong with the strikers covering those areas, in fact it's quite clever and completely stiffled our passing angles. Having all that possession meant little because we were having huge trouble passing the ball into dangerous areas, and a vast majority of the match was just passing around between our 4 defenders and Danilo. England were more dangerous on much quicker attacks/counter-attacks. That being said, I'm not that unhappy with the performance (apart from the hilariously misplaced assault by Bruno Alves). I reckon England are these days probably a little stronger than us, even more so at home and even more so when we don't have Ronaldo/Pepe. So whilst this way of playing looks boring it does even the playing field a bit. I also think with a couple more weeks of training this playing style will gel a little better.

m_fenton Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 The top two scorers in the Premier League last season spending most of the game out wide Rooney appears to be keeping Vardy, Kane and Alli all out of their best positions at the same time, which is quite some achievement.

pearcey_90 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Think Vardy being asked to do the doggies down the wings last few games has unfortunately cost him his place in the team :/ If it's a diamond want it'll hopefully be Dier: Wilshere, Alli: Sterling: 2 from Kane/Rooney/Vardy (most likely Rooney/Kane) If 4-3-3, then it'll hopefully be Dier, Wilshere, Alli: Sterling, 1 from Kane/Rooney/Vardy, Lallana.
