Everything takes so long. It take about 10 touches to make a decision to pass.
Day 17: England vs Germany | Sweden vs Ukraine (Ro16 7&8)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
We've been the better side. And the only one trying to play football.
Havertz and Werner can be easily manhandled.
Ref seems to be whistle happy rather than allowing the game to flow
Walker was too frit to put a cross in.
That has to be 100% an effect of manager instructions making him second guess his own instincts.

Even Jenas is calling Kane out ffs
Which is?
Watch how passive Southgate won’t change anything until right at the end because it’s going alrightish. Never bold. Kane needs to come off in the second half. Just need more movement up front.
I see what you did there....
Rice is really not needed in this game. Offers nothing on the ball
No service to Kane, hence why he's absent. If he drops back, then nobody is ahead of him through the middle. He's made some runs, but no ball/service.
It's indicative the fact that there's nobody running of him or him being able to link up, aside from wide players. So you either play the ball early to him via cross or ground pass, but neither are happening.

Kane playing a through ball to a midfielder.
As predicted, this is completely drab compared to last nights offering.
Dreadful pass.
Why on earth are the players doing such pointless movements before passing?

Harry Kane is non-existent.
The two worst teams on this tournament were North Macedonia and Russia. Even among those, Russian striker Dzyuba and North Macedonian Pandev did more for their teams than Harry Kane has done for England so far. So basically, he is the worst striker of the tournament. Pathetic

What's worse? Having a striker like Kane who gets absolutely no service or having a striker like Werner - getting service but bottling every chance?
How did Philips end there 
1996
Couldve been losing 0-2 already.
Long ball down the middle with the solo striker not even in the opposition half.. what is Kane doing?
Kane playing like he knows if he moves too quick, he'll blow one of his porridge ankles and lose his big move to citeh.
And that was a better movement, but so rare. It's a little bit open, but you need support through the middle when you're not crossing early from the wide areas.
Playing the ball
I don't know what you guys are moaning about. England aren't doing bad for a team with 10 men and no midfield.
He is living off scraps, though. He is getting less than even those players. There is no passes through the middle. Everything goes out wide.
This is where you need a strong leader to make the difficult choices. Would sub Kane second half. Possibly Rice too.
Kane did something!
Good turn, Kane.
Oh there he is!
Jenas needs to be poked in the eye with a kebab skewer every time he refers to a player by only their first name.
Feels like refs give FKs to Kane out of compassion these days.
My god England are boring. Risk averse, soulless football so far.
Second time Goretzka's done that. Should have got a yellow.
That has to be a booking
Kane starting to get involved.
If England are smart they're targeting Ginter. Force a mistake out of him.
Kane actually came back and got involved in the play!!
Don’t buy this argument. His movement would also drive how often he receives the ball. His movement is non existent. Yeah service could be better but he hasn’t made himself available at all.
Ed Sheeran is in the crowd. I'm supporting Germany now.
