andycap Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Two games he's played nearly 90 minutes on the bounce and he's playing like Ron Benson from Mike bassett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I just don't understand why you would invite pressure like that after the dominating start, Serbia are less likely to score when they are in their own box. Yeah, Serbia didn't create much but all it takes is one cross or an accidental foul in the box. Southgate really is a dinosaur. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 4 minutes ago, Collage said: I agree but you lose so much of his game when he’s on the left. Not the point though, is it? I’d rather have Walker on the right, and Trippier is the only player who can do a proper job at LB right now. We all saw the problems. Defence was fine, Rice was great. TAA and Foden just don’t seem able to play in those positions at this level. It’s been decades of this and we’re still trying to shoehorn all our “better” players onto the pitch at once. It’s so glaring. Rice, Bellingham and Gallagher/Mainoo/Wharton in midfield. Gordon and Saka on the wings. Keep it simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought in the context of his experience he was really good. Just thought he had a couple of sloppy moments on the ball 2nd half that Stones didn't. Nowhere near MOTM. Thought Trippier was the pick of the bunch in the back 4 and Bellingham probably MOTM. Edited June 16 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 (edited) Flash actually plays as a proper winger In defence and attack so he should be a starter to help out an out of position Trippier. Especially in this pragmatic Southgate setup. Edited June 16 by andycap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

France are excellent France are elite, but that doesn't mean Serbia aren't an excellent side. England have never been as good as what the fans or media pump them up to be. They always have it too easy in qualification groups so rarely get tested until after the group stages in competitions and then suddenly it's "what's happened to them.. look shit" That's why a tough slog like tonight will do them no harm.

Yeah, Serbia didn't create much but all it takes is one cross or an accidental foul in the box. Southgate really is a dinosaur. Most of that was Serbia changing things up, but Southgate didn’t react at all…again. Every once in a while TAA will hit a cracking pass or make a driving run, but at this level and in this team he’s a luxury. Gallagher was exactly what was needed there, just we also needed to bring Gordon on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
