In what world do you change so little when playing so poorly, leaving all of your creativity on the bench? It’s so bad that we are wasting another crop of talent like this.

GunmaN1905 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I actually figured it out!

I mean it's stopped Southgate from giving minutes to players who need fitness, like Walker, and who might be useful later in the competition. But otherwise England are in pole position to qualify 1st, which actually looks a better half at the moment because Spain, Brazil, Argentina, and possibly Croatia are going to be in the other half the way things are I say Argentina, I recognise they're in a bit of bother but I expect them to finish 1st Edited November 25, 2022 by Astafjevs 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haguey Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Pants performance, but meh, it's tournament football. We lost 0-0 against Scotland in the Euros and that turned out alright.

GunmaN1905 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Now seriously, one thing I can't figure out is Rice and playing it out of the back. Even at really low levels of professional football, if you want to play it out of the back, one midfielder drops between the CBs, sometimes even in 3 CB formations and offers another option. Whenever England CBs or Pickford had the ball, Rice would actively hide behind the US striker who is not even pressing, but just standing on the pass line and they always had to go wide to FBs or Pickford just hoofed it. Everything else aside, this is just the most basic thing for low level of football and watching a top team be so clueless against not even pressing is actually horrifying. Southgate is honestly so bad that if you gave him any mid-table EPL team he'd get them relegated over a season, guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahzun_Savas Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 England seemed to play at 3/4 pace all night, it was all pass stop, not pass and go, jog forward with the ball not run at the opposition. A very weak performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
