If Watkins had just had the game Kane did, people would say he isnt international class, a weak link, only looks good in the Villa system and blew a great chance. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s playing a shite system but he’s doing his role, which is more or less as some sort of absurd false 6, quite well. Attacking wise shite but that isn’t on him I’m okay with out striker pushing forward and don’t think Kane should drop in. Especially if we have Jude there and strangely foden aswell. However after grappling with their defence for most of the game surely Watkins and Gordon should have come on to push them back and exploit the space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Obviously Kane stayed on as Gareth needed that extra defender to see the game out. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted June 16 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16 A win means they are probably through already if 3 teams go through, hopefully also means both Konsa and Ollie may just get some game time. That's all I care about this England team . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 He isn't taking Kane off if there's a penalty shoot out looming so only time he won't play is in the last group game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Some other good sports news. Mcllroy level with the leader at the US open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted June 16 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16 Can't be too arsed over a dull, sluggish win over potential banana skin like Serbia. Doesn't have to be an existential referendum of the Problem Of Gareth. We won. I always want to see more Villa players involved but I suspect their time is coming.

Oh 100% But what we should have done is brought him on and gone long on the counter, I'd have brought Gordon on too, we never had control of the middle in the 2nd half, kane was dropping deep, no one ran past him, no one played the channels, no one pressed, let's be honest no one did a **** thing... We just got deeper and deeper Ollie would be wasted in this system same as everyone else is too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Just now, Tom13 said: England with only five shots, wow. All that quality starting and Kane was poor, Saka was good first half but then tired/dropped off, Foden completely anonymous after being premier league player of the season. Bellingham was a monster first half though and plays with the arrogance of an elite player already. Bit of a scandal though so few shots, England just too often have periods in games where they completely drop off and just start booting the ball in endless directions when they come under pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 They keep saying the team needs to learn?? It should be a complete team by now, it's been 8 plus years under this incumbent Southgate. Truth be told, if we aint gonna look and play any better than we have in previous tournaments, he may aswell pack up after this, an take the Man U job after Christmas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Bellingham is this side's chance..Such a good player, just a shame Southgate tactic is 'give it to jude'. Foden was invisible, full backs were poor, Kane was a waste. Saka had a good first half and Bowen did create a good chance in fairness but the insipid response in the second half was so disheartening. We could not have complained if they had scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
