Awol Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 (edited) Absolute quality. Gutted for him, hopefully under a new England manger who understands how football is played in the 21st century he’ll get a chance to stake his claim. In this tournament, he’s just another superb player falling victim to Southgate ball. For now though, the Champions League under a serious a manager awaits.

AndyM3000 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Crazy to think we've got 2 weeks until we play our first game in the pre-season tour of America. Not even sure him, Ezri and Emi will be back for any of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll slot in just fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
479Villan Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Walker was player of the first half imo and then within 2 minutes of the 2nd it all went to shit. Spain capitalized on him coming forward and/or he was coached to collapse into central defense. Stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his ridiculous decision to throw the ball back towards the other end of the pitch that cost us the momentum we had had for the last 10 minutes. From that moment we lost all control of possession. This tournament proved that Walker, along with Kane, are no longer the answers for the national side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 As good as Ollie is and has been, that first - touch is still, at times, his achilles - heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is a single manager in the world who drops his captain and the best goalscorer in the history of your country from a final. You can argue with the style of play(or the lack of it) but not with the decision to play Kane ahead of Ollie.

CVByrne Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I feel for Ollie, his moment of brilliant in Semi final followed by the loss in the final. Spain were best team in tournament and in final so deserved their win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really we should have dropped Kane after the group games when it was clear he was struggling, then it wouldn’t have been a big psychological issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Think he was offside with the one he mis controlled but on the whole he barely got any service , but he’ll always be remembered in this tournament for that winner against the Dutch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not getting at him, just highlighting the fact, if he does have a fault, it sometimes that heavy first touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane needs runners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
