ponsaelius Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) That's probably the dullest half of football I've ever seen Edited June 22, 2021 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Meh. One more England game to watch in this competition me thinks. Shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Thought that was pretty professional job, first half was pretty exciting, we had multiple opportunities to score, and could have been 2/3 up, second half while admittedly a bit dull, we controlled and managed the game really well, the defence was occasionally shaky, but they didn't really have any clear chances especially in the second half. Thought Walker was the pick of the defenders, and Saka and Grealish where great going forward. Hopefully we can carry this forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cf Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Well that's hardly inspiring stuff across the 3 games is it? Clearly going out to whichever of the 3 we get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 You can't say England didn't put in a shift to get this result, so well done for that. But the whole philosophy and ethos of the team is so pathetically unambitious given the talent they have at their disposal. There is just no vision or gameplan to dominate lesser teams. You get the impression the reason they have such tepid off the ball movement when in possession, is because they want to retain their defensive discipline if they lose the ball. The thing is, there's just no point in not growing though. They'll get cut to ribbons when they face tournament favourites. It's just all heart and no brains.

Mattoon Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Managing out a game at 1-0 up will make us come unstuck against better opponents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Guess aiming for a great performance just isn’t in the equation. We’re aiming to manage at the minimum level to get through. Very likely we’ll lose in the next round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 God that was dull. Scored one more goal than Scotland in our group yet we're through on 7 points and they pick up only 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Feel it'll go 2 ways against better opposition. Either they'll enable spaces as they attack us more and we'll exploit or we'll be punished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Well it's a win Absolutely needlessly tedious though. First half 7/10, second half 5/10 for the concentration and professionalism I suppose. We've got a week until the next game and this wasn't the momentum builder I was hoping for. If we go out with a whimper then I think our approach to the games can be rightly called unjustified.

Miggys First Goal Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Now that we’re out of the group stage does that mean Kane starts, you know, playing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 dreadfully dull but group performance isn't all that important just get through and keep winning. You will need Kane to remember how to play football though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 It's easy to say we're being professional, solid, working our way into the tournament etc. But that was dull as dishwater and we're probably out in the next round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Henderson for Rice was a positive change. Phillips went to his best position, and Henderson went further forward. Not long after that, we changed shape and we looked ragged. Assuming Mount misses the next game, it'll be three from Grealish, Sterling, Foden and Saka. I'd drop Sterling, but I'm pretty sure Southgate won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's 'only the group stage', and qualification/results are more important than performances (to a degree), but I can't see us beating any of those three.

ponsaelius Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I've thoroughly enjoyed this tournament. However other than perhaps some of the Group E matches the three worst games have been the three England games. Proper dull and in the case of that one made worse by being at Wembley - reminding me of some pish friendly or qualifier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
