England would concede plenty of chances to a rapid and fluid front 3, just look at what Spain have out this tournament. Luck of the draw they haven't yet but will change next round.

Jonesy7211 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Rice, Foden, and Trippier absolutely cannot start the next game. Rice has been awful the whole tournament, and I'll be generous to Trippier and just say he's out of his depth in an unfamiliar position. Foden just doesn't suit the system. Bellingham showed why we need to keep him advanced. Genuine superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then add in that once again our media seemingly refuse to call a spade a spade We're going to have it rammed down our throats about how incredible he is, give him the knighthood, build the statue, we're lucky to have such a top class manager While we're all sat here thinking this is **** awful and us losing is inevitable The gap between the media opinion and the fan opinion is a chasm right now, happens all the time, makes it so hard to enjoy watching England I'd **** love it if someone stuck their head above the parapet and said kane and foden are playing shit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were about 6 other people in the box including defenders, his goal didn't have anything to do with being advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 You can bet that once Gareth is gone we get a genuine top class manager and he gets shafted with constant group of death and impossible draws over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing on that is I find it strange that some people think that whoever comes is is going to click their fingers and have England playing like Spain. It’s far more likely a Capello type situation happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an 8, he doesn't have the touch, weight of pass or vision to play further up. At least with my JJ hypothetical, he can actually drive the ball forward.
