From what I've seen so far it's all been very covid mediocre. Turkey shite, Switzerland shite, Russia shite. Etc etc. If England pull their socks up a semi final place is up for grabs surely. I thought the Dutch looked impressive last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemondropkid Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Awful from England tonight, Phillips and Rice barely played a forward pass between them all night. Yet Foden was the one taken off🤔 Kane deserved to be hooked though. As a Spurs fan was horribly reminiscent of when Dier/Winks were paired together, ball only went backwards and sideways. Scotland were the better team for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the exciting managers style of football, Fergus on, Clough, Keegan etc., all ex attackers. Look at the bench, Grealish and Sancho, both great attackers and creaters who have had great seasons. Yet persists with his usual Rice, a fucking crab. Kane had 19 touches, the least of any player on the pitch. What does that tell you. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind Rice if he wants to play a single defensive midfielder, but not Rice and Phillips together. Found it spineless that none of the ex-England internationals getting richly rewarded for commentating on the debacle bring themselves to say anything negative. Total contrast between what Mancini has done with an above average squad and Southgate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painter Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I'm afraid I turned off at half time. Got fed up with shouting in frustration (in miy mind, anyway) when England reached the Scots penalty area, only to play the ball backwards, and spend what seemed like an age "setting things up" in their own half... only for the Scots to push forward, meaning we either lost the ball (often) or we struggled to reach their goal again. If I, as a non football fan can see it, why can't the millionaires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough I was dipping in and out of the coverage after the game. Was so p******d off by what I'd witnessed. Can't say I was surprised as he was itching to pick Rice + Henderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total contrast between what Mancini has done with an above average squad and Southgate. Ian Wright was quite scathing on his persistence with Rice/Phillips and removing Foden and leaving Sancho on the bench. You would think we were playing France or Germany not a team like Scotland that we should be confident in beating. (No disrespect to Scotland by the way.) Usual England, always lacking in confidence going into matches. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
