Disco Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Whoever said bringing Rashford on as the 9 was daft is spot on too. England weren’t getting enough players in the box as it was and he’ll alwsys pull to the left and deep when it’s a low block. Though Mount and Rice were both poor as per the first. Kane abysmal and the full backs had clearly been told to be conservative which seems daft when playing 1.5 holding midfielders and against a back 5. Barely an overload in the match either, really poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t carry the ball or move it like they’re capable of. That said, I would’ve changed them second half. Think Rice made his first tackle in the 92nd minute. When you have a player like Grealish in the squad you can't be starting those two, especially in a a game where you're favourites. Against a France or Belgium more understandable perhaps. Otherwise I just don't get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 One shot on target in 90 minutes against fucking Scotland. Wouldn’t be surprised if we get beat by the Czech’s. We’ll limp through but whoever we face in the round of 16 will stuff us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Mount was also poor so midfield positions are up for grabs. I’d be up for playing Bellingham or even Henderson TBH, or move Mount back.

Skeletor Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) It's such a shit English manager thing to leave your most exciting player on the bench and then when you do bring him on you take off your best performing player and only attacking threat.

Guest HTT II Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 ITV streaming as bad as England tonight, that was fucking rubbish, keep the back four, drop the two defensive midfielders and Kane. Oh and a point is still decent. We are qualifying, but won’t win this. Any decent team we come up against and we are out. Very disappointing tonight, awful in fact.

ScottishMagpie Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I went from just thinking it was a question of how many would England score to actually being a bit disappointed we didn't win that.

Cronky Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I thought Rice was the chief culprit re slowing things down. He often knocked the ball back to his centre backs when there was a clear option for a ball out wide. I didn't think we played well against Croatia, and I'm not that surprised by the way we played tonight. We have to be realistic. If we are seriously aiming to win, we can't play both Rice and Phillips. Mount - Foden - Grealish I think is the best combination around a striker. Sterling makes things happen occasionally as an individual, but if we're going to establish a confident passing rhythm, I don't think he's your man. James looked nervous, but I'd give him another chance. The only good news was our keeper played well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 The Yorkshire Pirlo tag for Phillips is so weird when he doesn't play anything like him. For all he played well on Sunday, thought he was pretty poor today just like the rest of them.

The one moment of quality against Croatia masked exactly the same problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
