Baptista_8 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 After tonight, I really hope the diamond fecks off. Thought we looked crap with it in our other games as well. What other options do we realistically have though? Seriously short on wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren1983 Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 had to endure a deluded LVG for season ....looking forward to euros and here comes a clone:brock: kane is one of the best at attacking headers he should be in the box.....this is classic LVG stuff Mate, he's gone, just let it go please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajw10 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 The diamond has always looked better with Wilshere in the side and someone mobile like Sterling at #10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebsy Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Not watched the match, just seen the red card. That was quite some challenge Fair play to Kane. Some of the acting and general shenanigans you see when players get tickled at the most, yet Kane gets absolutely mauled there and just gets up and continues after the ball.

Pukey Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 What other options do we realistically have though? Seriously short on wingers. I think we look a lot better with a 4-3-3. I know that requires playing a striker out of position, but we still seem a lot more likely to score than with the diamond. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigcwwe Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 We were pretty flat in the game until Wilshere and Sterling came on. Imagine Wilshere will come in for Milner in the tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 We have to gamble with Wilshere cause we lack the ability to create in the middle, really no idea what we'll get from him. Why not Alli further up too Lack of goals from midfield will hurt us. Once they were down to 10 men there no point having Vardy on. If a team drops off we can't really break through. Once again we go into a tournament with more questions. I am still none the wiser what team we'll put out against Russia. Nothing would surprise me atm I just hope they get a rocket up the arse before next week! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Race 9 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 tonight should have seen wilshere/Henderson/sturridge play to prove their fitness roy needs to go 4-2-3-1 with that it is easy to move it to 4-3-3/ 4-5-1 as required Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett.spurs Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Once again we go into a tournament with more questions. I am still none the wiser what team we'll put out against Russia. Nothing would surprise me atm HartWalker Cahill Smalling RoseDierAlli WilshereSterlingKane Rooney I think that's pretty nailed on now. I'd rather Lallana for Rooney and 433 though.

given1legend Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 That was awful tonight. The accommodation of Rooney managing to put Kane, Vardy and Alli out of position. Either play him deeper, up front or drop him. Looked like a really bad attempt at a false 9 tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJJ Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I still have serious concerns about our defence. Rose played well and looks really comfortable at left back and i can see Walker starting ahead of Clyne but the centrebacks fill me with dread. Not so much Cahill more Smalling and Stones. Stones insists on playing his way out of trouble which, ironically enough, spells trouble Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJG123 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 If we drop Vardy for Rooney I'm not going to bother watching in protest. It is painfully obvious our best XI does not contain Wayne anymore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Dan Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 It's not just Wilshere's ability on the ball which makes him important, it's his movement and his demanding of the ball. This is extremely important in possession-based international football, and it's something we're not particularly good at. We need more players like that. Maybe it's a confidence thing, or maybe we fixate on the wrong things when fetishising the latest trendy way to coach kids (Spain). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
