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?

 

Sounds like you're criticising without actually knowing what you're specifically criticising. What exactly needed correcting from the Euros? We navigated that tournament superbly and did very well here until we faced the world champions and the margins went against us. The only thing he did wrong at the Euros was fail to manage the lead against Italy. That situation wasn't recreated here so what exactly are we supposed to critique in terms of what should've been 'corrected'?

And? He’s already slow now. But anyway, Wilson won’t be there, who else is coming through?

We were specifically talking about the Euros, which are a year and a half away. I am not talking about the following World Cup. Kane's abilities will probably not be reduced so much. Fullback is way more of an issue.

 

Are you suggesting that England put Kane out to pasture for the next Euros? If he is firing on all cylinders and doesn't suffer any serious injuries, then you won't need to worry as much about another striker coming through, as we are talking about 18 months.

This is exactly what he is doing. And he keeps  altering the goal posts a little bit.

And we completely dominated possession tonight, which is what the main criticism was vs Italy and Croatia. 57 vs 43 is huge against a team like France. Basically nowt is good enough for some until he wins a tournament, which is fair enough but imo ludicrous to judge an England  manager by that standard.

Nope, I’m criticising the media claiming he’s leant from the previous tournaments. I couldn’t really care less if he stays or goes :lol:

He has done a good job but I personally believe we could have done and should have done better. 

And maybe a braver man gambles at the crucial stages of the tournaments... We needed quality balls in the box, you bring Maddison on. You need a fox in the box you bring Wilson on but you have to have a plan B or even C.

No, I’m asking which strikers we have coming through? Surely it’s a genuine concern?

I don't think there's any evidence to suggest he hasn't learned anything; I understand the criticism about his favourites but I don't see it as an issue. 

 

However, happy to join you in media slagging. God Almighty Sam Matterface is absolutely rank. What an absolutely awful commentator he is. ITV as fuck. Imagine him and Darren Fletcher in conversation, welp.

Going into a tournament with only one striker?

 

Maybe Toney will stop gambling…

 

He took Wilson!!

 

Stop reflecting Scunthorpe United in opinion form, Gol!

 

 

Ah, edit, I see you were on about the Euros. :lol:

 

Still stand by my Scunthorpe joke.

Reckon Wilson will go to the Euro’s then?

 

I’m not criticising anyone here, I’m genuinely asking what our striker options are moving forward. Kane is a special player, I don’t know if anyone like that is coming through?

I don't think you will be going into the tournament with one striker, man. Once again, it's 18 months from now. And once again, you keep changing the goal posts. 

How am I? I’m asking who our future forwards are ffs
