Stifler Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Kane is a liability. Every pass of his has either been backwards, or taken so long it may as well have been backwards. Everyone else is pressing their defenders high up, and he doesn’t, suddenly the Dutch are away with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Think that additional midfielder has stabilised the Netherlands defensively. Going to be an interesting second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Very enjoyable. Biggest compliment I can pay is that the first half flew by. Every other game from England this tourny felt about 3hr long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Really good half that. Slice of luck with the penalty but we've been the better side. Be a fucking great time for things to click My concern is that Southgate's game management isn't his strength, so I'm worried that Koeman will out-tactic him. But so far so good so can't complain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull2000 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Much, much better. But without the Southgate drag factor, we'd probably be 3-1 up. Get Kane off for Toney definitely, and maybe Gordon left side on 70 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Actually think Kane has looked much more himself. Foden finally, finally looks like Foden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 3 minutes ago, Mike said: If I'm Koeman I shiv the ref in the tunnel. Feel like he didn't want to go against VAR due to potential backlash from the UK tabloids, especially with the Bellingham controversy beforehand. I do think though he knows it was soft, and if Holland get in a similar situation later on he may be inclined to give us a soft one too to restore the balance in the force.

Tsunami Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Kane and Tripps off please. This might be controversial but anywhere else on the pitch and the challenge for the penalty is given as a free kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Nice to see us forcing the issue, playing with confidence and a bit more intensity. Mainoo pressing really well centrally and Foden looks liberated in a free role. Still, we're only level because of an utter joke of a decision, so there's little satisfaction to be had in that.

Aiston Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Good 7/10 half there, best of the tournament for us easily. Kane scored his penalty but fuck...he's not offering much as a striker at all in overall play, he's playing everywhere else instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Much better performance - this should be our baseline level with the players we have - though I can't remember many clear-cut chances, other than foden's that was cleared off the line. Dutchies have been turbo-gash though. They don't seem to mark people in midfield which has helped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Kane reminds me of that player that used to be good but his legs are gone so you slowly pick him in other positions until he's on orange duties 😂. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Kane seems to be dropping deep and doing what he's good at without getting in people's way which is encouraging. It does leave us short a striker in the box, maybe we're hoping Bellingham and Foden make those runs to fill the gap? This is actually a really interesting game, I'd be enjoying this if I was a neutral. As it is I'm bricking it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
