Checko Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Also, he's a footballer, showing football clips of him is hardly out of context. I want clips of him dropping an ice cream on himself or having elephants steal his lunch at the zoo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Lamal is great for 16 (or any age for that matter), but he cuts onto his left foot a lot. I do wonder why defensive assignments haven't picked this up yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I think this game might be the most important of Southgate's legacy - even if they have a subsequent final with Spain. A grim performance here will be the last real chance to overwrite the reality of the unfashionable football he has brought. If they slog through with more Bruce-y football, and go on to win it with another attritional performance against Spain, they will be not unfairly remembered by some as another Greece 2004 (except with world-beating talent ).

Which all conspired to give me a horrible feeling somehow they wont win it. Just seems too logical and fair for football. Mind it would fit the tournament if they didn't. if only we had pacy direct skillful wingers on eiether side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made the point a couple of times this week that - due to going in as favourites - the team were playing within themselves for fear of embarrassment. So there's been a mentality shift from one of fear to one of "what can we achieve?" Which I think is interesting and entirely fair. Agree with @Beren above, I'm absolutely aching for an actual good performance against Holland. We were still very unimpressive against Switzerland, even if we're moving in the right direction.

If we win the Euros nobody will give the slightest shit how we played . The last game we play in this tournament will probably be the most important of Southgate’s legacy unless he stays, obviously. I just hope it’s the final. Edited July 10 by leffe186 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 The only reason I am so fucking livid about most of Southgate‘s tactical and in-game decisions is that I think they reduce the odds of us winning. I might be wrong in that, but even though we’re still in the tournament I still stand by it. If we keep doing the same shit and win I won’t give a shit - it’s really all that matters.

I honestly think our back line with Van Dijk, Ake, Dumfries and even the criminally underrated de Vrij is still one of the strongest going, with good strength in depth too. The midfield doesn't contain big names, but functions quite well, with Schouten another very underrated player. It's in attack where we lack that extra bit of quality we'd normally bring, a Robben, a Van Persie or a Van Nistelrooij. Still, I think it's going to be a pretty even game and considering the players at your disposal that says more about how England perform than about how average the Netherlands look on paper.

samptime29 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 So frustrating Gordon isn't getting a look in. Dumfries loves to get forward on that right side, Gordon would be perfect to attack that space and hurt the Dutch (plus he gets back to defend). Instead we'll have Foden doing fuck all again.
