leffe186 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 That was such a lovely cross field ball from Foden to Rice at the beginning of that move. Honestly, Rice and Bellingham in the same midfield is tasty as fuck. If we could get the CBs right we could be really bloody good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both have a lot to offer in different ways. I’d be tempted to have them both in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both 100% at the Euros I’m fine with them being at the Euros, just don’t start the fuckers. Bring Henderson on to shut up shop near the end and bring Rashford on to scare the living daylights out of teams with tired legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Well, that was 2hrs of my life wasted, so pedestrian, happy to play keep ball for 90 minutes and no risks taken in possession, yawn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Meh, job done. The team looked like they wanted to be anywhere but there and you can't really blame them. Basically dead rubber. Surprised by how capable Malta looked, mind. Might stick a fiver on Hamrun Spartans to win the Euro Vanarama next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rashford carries his current abject form into the tournament and Henderson goes in his current semi retirement life. I think both will struggle to even do that.

TheBrownBottle Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Given the talent at his disposal, yet he chooses to play TAA as an attacking midfielder, it is an enduring mystery as to how Southgate’s managerial career highlights before England was breaking Middlesbrough’s transfer record with possibly the worst pound-for-pound signing in English football history before seeing them relegated. I love mediocre, conservative football, me. It’s the attitude that makes you shut up shop if you go 1-0 up in a cup final after two minutes. The man is a born winner.

Yeah maybe; the starting line-up was miserable - particularly that double-pivot, and I find the TAA as number 10 thing unbelievably weird, even though he did areet. A fixture like that is always gonna have a semi-competitive vibe, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardsleymagic Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Haven't read through the thread so probably been mentioned before but Southgate is totally just a younger, more media friendly Bruce. They both have no clue with tactics and rely heavily on individual moments, more so than the average manager. I don't care what anyone says, with the players at his disposal we should be playing so much better. He constantly picks his favourites regardless of form (or where they play).

Awful bloke. He has the classic Pardew traits. Dire football, players in wrong position, never acknowledges fault, attacks the fans. He’s so comfortable in his position and it’s having a massively detrimental affect on us. Hope he’s gone as soon as the Euros are over. My guess is he won’t end up with a top job elsewhere. Shame ‘cause I used to like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
