Guest firetotheworks Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 The whole not being able to touch the goalkeeper thing is beyond parody now. It's totally embarrassing that they're protected to the extent that if they fuck up and lose the ball like that it's still somehow a free kick. Totally pathetic.

Astroblack Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 He created the space to get the shots off really well. Of course the finish could have been better but I was really impressed with how he looked verses top opposition. I don't think Mourinho gets the most out of him whatsoever.

Can you imagine the player he would be if he was playing every week?! He's a special talent, but he's not able to flourish because of his club situation.

Tubestationatmidnight Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Pickford Trippier Gomez stones Maguire shaw Is a very decent backline, its in cm where we struggle, alli and Henderson are levels below anything the likes of Spain Croatia etc have in there. Until we somehow get some quality In there somewhere we will never beat the top teams when it matters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Ali is not a CM, his role for Spurs can’t be replicated with England because we don’t have an Eriksen... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 What is he? All he seems to do is run into people and lose the ball nearly every time. He is good as arriving in the box and finishing but that seems to be it. He is not good on the ball. Massively overrated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tells me he's good at other things than arriving in the box and finishing. he's a 2nd striker whose strength is getting on the end of shit, why is it even a question as stated england don't have anyone remotely the class of eriksen to make it work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Alli's like a Yaya/Gerrard type of attacking midfielder. I don't think those work too well on the international scene. I'd honestly put him on the bench and have someone else take his place that adds more to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he gets some games for Man City this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 The midfield looks really average at times. To do what Alli is trying to do against teams like Spain you need to be genuinely world class, which he isn’t. Hopefully a few more options will emerge, the holding midfielders are an issue as well.

I don't think those work too well on the international scene. totally and utterly disagree with that analysis like Because it's wrong and totally undersells what Gerrard and Yaya were capable of outside of the box. In any case it should have been obvious to anyone during the WC that we don't have any sort of midfield, pretty much everyone excells in the transition of the play and can't set up the play themselves.

Astroblack Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I'd compare him with Pogba who plays a different more disciplined role for France. If continues to start, he should play deeper because he's anonymous in his current role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 England need Jonjo He can cause more damage in this kind of set up than the current bunch. I'd have him beside Dier. Shelvey is pretty much better than Henderson in every area, even tackling & tracking I would say (based on the past year or so). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
