Italy in the ascendant, Southgate needs to make changes
Final: Italy vs England
- Thread starter ivaldo
- Start date
England finally punished for their cowardice.
Christ the anti England on here …... 
Too defensive. That is what happens when you sit so deep
Bring off Sterling and Mount. Both haven't been great.

Ffs take Mason Mount off and attack man
Noooooooooo
A big mistake by Gareth to hope for a double decker to work. Italy are winning the midfield battle.
English players seemed scared of Chiesa.
Now how are we going to get a goal back? We are fecked
RIP Leicester Square
Southgate not making changes, playing wait and see
Southgate is Ole-ing this. Sterling and Mount ar utterly useless, defensively and offensively, he's totally lost the midfield and Southgate is doing nothing.
Italy with all the momentum and Chiesa tormenting every time it gets the ball 
Atleast it's been a proper game.
Fecking Southgate still no subs!
Absolutely.
I don't mean the subs weren't needed (they were!) but bringing Ole into it
Game on.
Make a fecking sub! Please Gareth, respond tactically!
Paid the price for trying to sit on the lead and not be brave enough to go for a second goal.
Saka?
Mason Mount, the ultimate passenger.
Bit Harsh.
True. But in this case he made a fantastic save. Not his fault that the defense was not ready afterwards.
England have been shite second half. Screams of Croatia again.
FFS make a sub!
Mount is a ghost get him off you clown.
England still favs with that bench. Italy must win it in normal time.
This game should not end with ET.
Next goal wins.
Next goal wins.
Southgate needs another midfielder. We can't get the ball.
Christ, 29% England possession in the second-half 
70% possession for italy 
what did southgate think
what did southgate thinkSouthgate needs to make a change and fast before they score again, need to calm Italy’s momentum here.
That is what you get for mucking around instead of taking the game to them. Attack is the best defence.
Italy's been much after Immobile was ditched
Need to massively change the momentum.
England one shot on goal. Basically the international version of Burnley.
Horrendous possession stats this half as well. No surprise when they scored.
It's imperative that Italy go on and win this.
