Carlito Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Stones was an absolute disaster tonight. Couldn't agree more with taking Sancho off being a massive blunder as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I’d quite fancy Memphis here to be honest I've been thinking this. I'd never happen under Ashley obviously, but with the Sheikh who knows? He's a very hard working forward who would fit perfectly in Rafa's system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Stones won't get many more caps I think Southgate needs to back to a 3-4-3 England can’t play with just 2 CBs with the crop we have available Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Stones won't get many more caps Hopefully nor will Delph. The guy is an absolute fucking tool and thick as mince. Totally carried by the team around him at club level and absolutely nowhere near being an international footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 You can't pick a bunch of reserve premier league players who are not good enough to start for their clubs and expect to win at the highest level. Delph, Stones, Lingard, Barclay, Walker (soon will be), even Henderson is not starting when Liverpool are at full strength. Southgate is seriously overrated.

Away Toon Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Henderson is a starter for Liverpool Henderson started in 21 games (out of 38) in the premier league, Wijnaldum started in 32. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Can't understand the lineup. You play your best team for a semi-final. World Cup games are every 3-4 days. CL final was 5 days ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 The players we have are mostly shit even the manager is shit people got to soaked up in the fact we had a easy run in the world cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 In midfield and attack, the team was very much a new unit. We had some decent spells, but overall the Dutch were much better at retaining possession under pressure and working the ball through to the attack - which is of course our usual problem.

Cronky Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Surely Will Hughes is as good as anything in that three last night? He's worth a look, because he may be one of those players whose best comes out at international level. His career has been held back, I assume because of doubts over his physicality. Only one way to find out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Delph - Barkley - Rice is an absolutely pathetic starting midfield three like. Really don't see any of the hype about Rice, seems totally overrated to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Personally think we would have lined up stronger and more competitive but for the proximity of the Champions League Final. Southgate just didn’t have time to work with his best players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Personally think we would have lined up stronger and more competitive but for the proximity of the Champions League Final. Southgate just didn’t have time to work with his best players. Maybe, but during an international tournament games come every few days as well. Van Dijk and Wijnaldum managed 120 minutes without issue. I think it was the wrong decision in hindsight to exclude those players who contested the CL final unless they were carrying knocks or requested to be rested themselves.

Lush Vlad Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Delph - Barkley - Rice is an absolutely pathetic starting midfield three like. Really don't see any of the hype about Rice, seems totally overrated to me. Rice isn't quite the best midfielder in the world, like West Ham fans would have you believe. But I don't think he is overrated by anyone but them. I think he looks decent at what he does. Which is turn the ball over, break up play and keep the ball moving. As for the midfield three in general, I do agree. All you hear about is how the game is won and lost in the boxes. That may be true to some extent, but we could have a prime Shearer and Lineker up top and the 2002 back 4 and we'd still win sod all with our midfield. I don't pay enough attention to the national set up. But we seem really weak with a load of 'much of a muchness' options in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 That VAR decision has really pissed me off on reflection. Regardless of what concerns you might have about its application (refs being weirdos/consistency/disruption of the spectacle) - there's no frigging way Lingard gained an advantage there. It was a completely unnecessary decision. That was a goal good enough to win any game. And I'm talking here as a neutral here tbh, I wasn't arsed about the result at all last night.

You can’t let offside goals count just because the goal looked pretty. I’d rather not win via offside goals I’ve seen enough games decided by robbery. Hoping we see a big reduction of games decided by robbery in the Premier League with VAR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't see any of the hype about Rice, seems totally overrated to me. Aye it’s awful, no idea what he sees in Delph. Longstaff has a chance IMO, even Shelvey if he could get some club games. Not sure who else is coming up, guess Loftus Cheek if he was available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 He’s been poor. Think Man City need proper first team competition for the fullback positions. Both Mendy and Walker are talented but shouldn’t be comfortable #1s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
