Rich Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Good move by the Swiss to completely change formation. Hope to fuck we don’t do this on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Schar perfect timing with his jump there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 What's with our players hitting the deck and people going on like they've lost a leg? Schar goes down about half a dozen times a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Burn and Botman looking increasingly like the greatest hand-holders in defensive history here. Schar looks like Schar again. Get him home to Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 What? Schar just got out jumped and the ball was perfectly shaped to Pepe’s head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he might be available for Bournemouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Schar is having one. But in his defence, Portugal look class and the Swiss have no answer for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Get the idea to a degree of going to a back 3 with Widmer out as they don't really have another right back. But this has backfired atrociously, and they just look chaotic at the back. All credit to Portugal though - look superb without Ronaldo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens. He's been class for us, regardless of his partner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 If this World cup hadn't been plonked in the middle of the Premier season, I'd really be enjoying this.

Jaqen Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Portugal look better with the change in system and having actual width now. That narrow 4312 they were running in the group stages never looked right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 As much as there's probably some defensiveness towards our players on here, there's also a weird tendency to jump at a chance to trash them from some. Least we have balance I guess. Schar hasn't been great, but it's more that Portugal have been class and the Swiss on the whole look disorganised. Harsh to lay it all on him imo.

Doctor Zaius Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 It's easy to say they look so much better without Ronaldo, but it seems like dropping him really have rejuvenated them. Either mentally or tactically or both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
