The Quarter Finals: Croatia, Argentina, Morocco, and France through


Recommended Posts

Thought we played well overall honestly and consistently found space through France’s midfield. 

 

A minor complaint was that the Sterling sub was poor, thought he was well off the pace and a waste of time.
 

The most frustrating thing to me is that I don’t think this France team are that good. This tournament was such a huge opportunity for England.

Southgate has been vile like. World Cup semi-finals, European Cup final, going toe to toe with reigning Champions this time around. Hound him out.

i know, but analyse each of those games and he makes crucial errors. well, imho anyway.

Hand on heart, do you think we will win something under him? I don't.

1990? 1996?

This team has blown those out of the water man, they were both one tournament and done, with two complete disasters in between. Semi final, final, quarter final in consecutive tournaments is completely unprecedented.

 

Only in England would someone so wildly successful relative to what has gone before get so much ludicrous stick.

We keep getting told that he learns from each setback. What did he learn from losing the euro final? Make sure Henderson plays more? Get your centre backs to pass it between themselves for half an hour?

 

every time we face a decent team we lose. There’s zero evidence he’s learning anything.

His subs were odd as usual, but England was clearly the better team today.


Apart from the Argentina game, all the worse sides went through imo. This World Cup is deserving of a Croatia v Morocco final. Get a new winner.

Henderson's been really good all tournament though?

I was quite critical of him against Italy, but I don't think he made any particular errors this evening. Nothing that you could say cost us the game.

Netherlands were the worst side for most of the game, but that 20 minute spell after Argentina got their second was one of their most incompetent and cuntish displays since 1998 (which can never be topped). And Argentina have wracked up a lot of cuntish displays since.

Yet we didn’t get as far as last time? What did he learn and correct?

 

I’m not criticising his picking of Henderson, I’m questioning what else changed?

Well last time he was mainly criticised for being too negative and not putting games to bed - I think we might still be the top scorers in this World Cup. Seems quite a big change to me.

Have fun with Gerrard or Lampard at the England wheel if some of you get your wish.

 

Or do you think Pep and Simeone are gagging to duke it out for the role?

 

 

I’d rather keep him to keep England away from Eddie
