stewiek2 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Midfield the issue. Bellingham believing his own hype and trotting around the pitch. He has to get back and help Rice out when we lose possession. Rice is protecting that backline on his own first half. Started too slow and lethargic and it's continued the whole half Saka and Sterling far too narrow. It's like Gareth has got Gerrard in to sort this game out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No crisp passing or pulling players out of shape. Grim! LOL I was thinking how much it reminded me of Villa under Gerrard. Some talented teams have looked really ponderous in this tournament, including England in this match, Uruguay, and Holland. On the other hand, Spain, Brazil, and France have looked like well-drilled high-level European club sides, moving the ball with purpose, playing one touch, and not overthinking. I have to say those are the three favorites right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I think USA has played really well so far. Really nice progressive passing, just no end product which was always going to be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django_Zooms Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 You are all being far too negative. There are still 45 minutes of living, breathing and possibly Friday night drinking, before USA dump England in the poop for the Wales match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted November 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2022 Surprising to see England fans suddenly a bit panicked. No question the goals will start coming for England soon. It’s easy to see. USA don’t have the on the ball quality and can’t hit the net. You’ve had a mediocre 45 minutes, but that won’t last. Mark my words.

Strog Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 So much talent but we have an overly cautious manager who gets off on turgid uninspiring tactics. Anyone who thinks England can win the World Cup needs therapy.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark my words. The thing is it's not this game in isolation or the result tonight Its the belief that we will get through the group, maybe scrape though the 2nd round and then be shit Its knowing that this team is good but the manager is **** dreadful meaning it's ultimately pointless, already plotting our inevitable failure 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Southgate will fix this… probably by going to a back three and also bringing in Kalvin Phillips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
