Cronky Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Kane just looked off the pace. I don't mean to be unkind, but I hope he's out for the semi-final. I'd prefer Watkins to Toney, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d prefer Watkins too, he’d be a lot more involved. However, it all depends on how much we use the ball in the final third. Hard to imagine any striker having a great game with the way we play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 No offence but watching this in a pub away from the negativity of this thread did wonders for the experience Better performance, still very stodgy in attack but positive signs against the best team we've played yet. And 5 perfect penalties - these young lads don't wilt at the mere thought of a shootout which is huge really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might as well have been watching Fulham taking penalties in a pre season tournament against Stoke.

Kid Icarus Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 1 minute ago, gbandit said: We were better in our ball retention and I think our passing was more positive. However, our shape going forwards was still all about building slowly, not committing players etc. Kane shouldn’t play and it massively stunts us. I think Shaw starting in the next game will help us. If Gordon was on the left and Shaw was playing we’d be so much more balanced and fluid going forwards I agree, there's something not right up front and would be happy with those changes. Athough I didn't think he was brilliant, Foden at least actually looked more like Foden with his movement and when he was on the ball and better than previous matches. Up until this match we had a midfield that didn't work, an entire left side that didn't work, looked really vulnerable on the counter, and our cohesion and patterns of play were really poor. I thought all of that improved in this match, not great, but much better. The main problem beyond up front is our intent imo, started going for it at 1 nil down and then going to pens, at some point there needs to be trust that if risks are taken and don't work out, we can cover for it. At the moment it's far far far too cautious and ironically it puts us in much riskier positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never doubted that they’d slot them away - none of the ‘put your laces through it’ shite so beloved of English players of that past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 most famous people to miss penalties for England are Gareth Southgate and Stuart Pearce, 2 defenders.

Yorkie Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I thought the first half showed glimpses of a team that might click. Then the second half happened and we got bailed out by individual quality. I'm in such a funk, like. England are probably gonna win something just as I've stopped giving a fuck. Find being a football fan horribly complicated these days. I'll try and put it down to growing up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s true that ultimately someone has to fail to score, but this England side reminds me a lot of the Germany sides of when I was a kid - one or two genuine first-class players, and the rest are all really good technical footballers.

Best and most widely spoken language, turn up anywhere in the world and there’ll be at least one local who understands you. UK more northernly than most of the USA, same latitude as Northern Canada from memory but far milder weather. Thank you Gulfstream. Edited July 6 by SAK Spelling.

relámpago blanco Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) If we won this tournament how would everyone feel? I know this isn't the world cup but based on the record at previous tournaments, Southgate would probably be regarded as the greatest England manager of all time.
