Plan is working I guess Yeah we're set up to stop them playing as much as possible but give them 70% of the ball again second half is suicidal. Especially seeing as our midfield and forwards are total ballers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurzel Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Half time opinion. When we play with tempo we cause problems, unfortunately it only happened a couple of times. It is a final so it will be cagey but we are conceding possession far too easily. Pickford constantly kicking long is causing half the trouble. Kane is handicapping this side, runs like he has divers boots on. Bellingham has contributed absolutely nothing. Shaw has been the best player so far. Anyway things can change so hopefully the pace will pick up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Got a feeling it’s all setting up for Ollie to come on, score the winner and be heralded as Englands greatest ever substitute! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Is Kane injured, or has the Bundesliga made him incapable of playing in this team effectively? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain ain't been great themselves. Lacked ideas and just hoofing the ball in from all angles which is unlike them. I'm not going to go ballistic as we've seen this game before, it's the gameplan and thankfully Southgate has learned not to play Kane for 120 minutes.

Genie Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I think England will give it 10 more minutes and the park the bus and play for pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 1 minute ago, JPJCB said: I just don’t get what the gameplan is with Kane at all. He doesn’t press, he doesn’t make any runs, he doesn’t win anything aerially. He just ambles around in midfield. Occasionally he does a decent cross field pass but it’s nothing a midfielder couldn’t do. And in the meantime he does naff all to stretch the play and create any space He just ambles around but regularly scores penalties or tap-ins/set-pieces so it usually papers over the cracks. Glad he’s finally getting pelters but this is the same Kane I’ve seen for England for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Shaw and Guehi have been really good. The whole defence have actually. Kane has been a total waste of space. Spain really haven’t looked much of a threat - some of which is sloppiness on their part. A lot of aimless balls into the box. With some decent subs we could win this. It’s also nice to know that we’re in good shape for penalties if it carries on like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got 3 forward players looking like they've never seen a football game before. We can change them and step it up significantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't run, you won't see him sprint once. Watch him jog and he looks stiff, I think his back is in bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Honestly think we've been pretty solid. But we offer nothing on the attack and that needs to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Outside of the great Spanish team, the last three Euros winners, Greece, Portugal and Italy, didnt play sexy football at all. The stifled teams. Exactly what England are doing. Winning ugly works, unless you have an all-time great team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django_Zooms Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Palmer for Foden is the answer. Retain possession, run at defenders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 This long ball tactic plays right into Spain's hands. You're just handing back possession to a team whose whole philosophy is based around possession. Pickford is so erratic in most things he does.
