The_Steve Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Rashford attempted 4 passes and only made one of them count. One successful dribble. What a sub. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Croatia were terrible, really poor side. Was a pretty average game overall, England really didn't need to be all that to win today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's an insane position to take. If we set up and play like that against any remotely capable team, we'll lose. So much attacking talent in the team and we couldn't get anything going at all. There is an obvious rebuttal to that, even if I agree with you. The team was selected based on the opposition. It worked. Different opposition, different team selection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we go all out to show them up as the tinpot nation they are! I think Jack would love that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not pretend this was a Southgate tactical masterclass. At least let’s wait and see. With respect, only on villatalk can a win generate so much hate. I’m not pretending we played well, but at least we’re going into the next game in control of the group, and not absolutely having to win. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 issues with that line of thinking 1) Southgate has been the manager for quite a while now, based on what i've seen I doubt his master plan involves a dramatically different XI and strategy. 2) If we have a preferred style and XI that is different from what we saw today, wouldn't it be better to get games into that team so that they gel? 3/4 teams go through from the group stage, it's very low risk. Building chemistry could be the difference between hoisting the trophy and a quarter finals exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only build chemistry in the starting 11, and we then have to deviate from it later, you are no better off. Rotation will feature throughout the tournament in every team.

The team was selected based on the opposition. It worked. Different opposition, different team selection. It could've easily gone against us, we created virtually nothing. This could so easily been 0-0 but thankfully we nicked the win. So yes it worked but I would argue inspite of the selection and tactics somewhat and Southgate was a little bit lucky. Those amounts of chances could've easily resulted in no goals scored. Great to get the result but Southgate and co need to improve their thought process if we are to progress against bigger teams in the knockout stages. If this had been a Villa game, a lot on here would've been happy with the win but criticised the performance and Smith...seems very different with England which blows my mind a bit Edited June 13, 2021 by nick76 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
