Guest HTT II Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Rashford and Sterling are big game players, they go period if not injured, as to weather they start though... we have quite a rich depth in midfield and attack without a doubt. I’d personally take Bamford, he’s street smart, works his socks off, can play deep or as a central striker and is more than adept at playing pass and move football. His positioning is very good too off the ball. I’d take him over Watkins and our own Wilson for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Maximin Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 5 points gets us through surely, even if it’s third place as the best four get to the next round. We’ll go through. Scotland are no mugs mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time we had 3+ players attacking the box we scored. Then again, I get the composed, professional performance but I dont think it was necessarily our performance that meant we were so comfy at the back. It's not like the back 7 were outsanding. Maybe I just want more from this team given the talent everyone is so excited about. Personally I'm more annoyed we havent played our flair players more in the tournament than pleased I am we haven't conceded. Suppose it's the investment. If Newcaste (post Bruce) played 7 defensive players and only looked to meaningfully attack in the last 15 minutes and win 2-0 to get to the next round of Europe of something I'd be ecstatic. Today I'm just meh. I think we easily have the potential to be so much better. Based on how easy those 2 goals were I feel like we could have won that 5-0 if we'd pushed them back for longer. I want that kind of attitude from the top down. Maybe Im expecting too much. There's just no evidence that sort of approach wins tournaments. You can probably count the number of winning international teams that were entertaining in even half their games on one hand. I know what you're saying - I spent the last few weeks of the season moaning about how unwatchable I found Chelsea, where Tuchel also plays with 8 defenders - but in cups, conservatism bloody works. Fair. I do really want the likes of Foden, Grealish, Sancho, Saka etc to really shine and cement places as quality England players and look to build on that for years to come. Rather than Rice, Phillips and 5 mainly average defenders (James and TAA aside). Probably being selfish. I just think imagine getting a team with those young players to really click and actually be contenders for the next World Cup. Breeze through WC qualifying beating everyone rather than watching us play 2 DMs against San Marino. We could be really mint. We missed that chance in the 00s with the quality we had. Its not like we didnt win owt back then because of all the attacking we did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I get the argument for wanting more attacking football given the forwards we have but we have literally got to the quarter finals without conceding a goal. We haven’t looked threatened by the opposition in most games and this is a tournament where France lost to Switzerland etc. Even tonight Germany’s main chance was due to Sterling making an individual error in an attacking scenario. We’ve had bags of attacking talent in the past and gotten nowhere. We just beat Germany. In a knock out game. 2-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Do people reckon we'll go back to 4231 the next game? If so I'd be surprised if it wasn't Mount who came in as Southgate seems to trust him the most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
