The way he acted with Greenwood was feking disgraceful too. Strange way to deal with young players.
I hate this idea being thrown around. If we had more attacking players we are still not getting much possession, we are still only playing counter attacking football, the difference is we are a lot more likely to concede and a bit more likely to score.
Only way we get rid of the coward is if we get embarrassed at the world cup. Problem is, our squad is so good that while we'll no doubt go out at some point, it won't be in a fashion that costs him his job.
He was getting tired.
Probably knackered, didn't mind Rice going off if that is the case. You have 5 subs, 6 after ET, use them!
I honestly do not understand what you expect or envision. Lots of calls for attacking football when its not realistic.
Grealish by himself may not have changed the entire approach, but it would have reduced the amount of pressure England were under and given them a better chance of actually creating opportunities. Which would have stopped them dropping as deep as they ended up doing.
England, in both the World Cup and the Euros, had an absolutely piss easy route to the finals. The only real obstacle in this years tournament, prior to the finals, were a Germany team in decline.A different group to begin with and a different route to the final and England could've been dumped out a lot sooner. Not to mention that they've had the benefit of spending the vast majority of the tournament training in England, in close distance to the stadium, while other teams have been constantly on the move.
How is it an achievement? with a squad who should win it without breaking sweat with such extremely easy draw? Jeeesuz wept. The guy deserves to go to jail for waisting such potential and eating his shit from shitting his pants every game since he got to manage the team. By far the best squad in Euros and easiest way to finals and still plays like Catenaccio was still a thing. What a morron and everyone else thinking it's some kind of achievement he got to the final now and semifinal in the world cup deserve the same, he should have been winning it ffs, not even mentioning being at home most of the time with all the fans support. And I am angry only for our lads who deserved to lift some trophy after being leaded by another average (still miles better manager) Ole, and for my good mates in England and other well behaved fans here. But the rest of you who booed at every occassion of other national teams anthem, applauded Sterling cheating or see yourselves in the final like every fecking shite media in England after group stage, you absolutely deserve to cry and never win anything. Sorry had to be said and football justice has won today. Italy with average ageing squad still showed some fecking balls and justice was served.
He hasn't learned anything from the Croatia Semi Final in 2018 though. He's learnt absolutely nothing. Same exact playbook. Early goal, then stay on the back foot, let them have the ball and hope + pray they don't kill the game off before penalties.
Fair point. That game was Croatia all over again.
that’s a good point actually, reads almost identically doesn’t it? he did the same thing then too.
See, this is the problem. This England team is so damn lucky with their draws. If England were in the opposite side of the bracket alongside Italy, Spain, Belgium would it have reached the final ?
Well yes, in one sense it is an achievement.
There is no lineup that England could produce that would mean we are not playing defensive, we are playing counter attacking whatever the lineup.
correct. he should have already resigned for
Yep, sounds about right.
