The Bard Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 He's bought Lallana on but he is too high up the pitch. Not getting the ball because we're expecting Dier, Ox to start attacks. Southgate has had a poor game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitchinRed Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 This is appalling. Absolutely no idea how to break down a team with 10 men behind the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 So frustrating watching England. Getting pressed on our 18 yard box . By a team with 10 men . Because there manager said . There trying to pass it out from the back . But they can't because there shit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Fair play to anyone who watched tonight. I'd rather watch paint dry than watch England outside of the Euros/World Cup. Boring doesn't even cover it. Think the last time I was genuinely excited to watch England play was Euro 2004. Been worse year on year ever since.

The Bard Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Wishful thinking yet again from an England Manager. When will we start getting real. If Allardyce was still manager I think we'd be in a much better position.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 The tempo is way too slow , always is with England . Ox is never a cm imo . Lack of movement throughout the team . Trying to pass out from the back which players at that level should have no trouble with but they do. Constantly giving the ball away . Very poor . The argument of players being tired , especially due too how hard physically the prem is , is valid. So why have clubs like spurs and Liverpool gone on end of season tours and England play a meaningless friendly in June. We just don't help ourselves.

Loco Rojo Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Didn't watch it - forgot it was on - and only just checked in to this thread. Absolutely no interest in England football - but reading some of the comments it all sounds so predictable and familiar and reminds me why I gave up on supporting England years ago. The sooner the season starts again, the sooner England football can be forgotten about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 If it hadn't been for a harsh red card I suspect France would have got four or five. Would be very hopeful for the future if I was French. Same old depressingly predictable weaknesses in the England team. Rather than progress we are going backwards.

Shtanley Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Embarrassing performances last 2 games. I don't understand why we don't just build our team in a solid formation and focus on outrunning and out fighting other teams. It's what our players are arguably best at.

Don't be an apologist. We're crap. Mentally and physically second-rate. Class teams just take us apart, crap teams out-fight us. Pathetic, truly pathetic from a bunch of over-paid premodonas who think they're doing us a favour for turning out for their Country. No pride, no passion.

Shows how poor England are as a team, when the best man for the job won next to nothing as a player (not sure if he was part of the villa squad that won the league cup all those years ago, or whether that was before his time), and his best managerial accomplishments at club football include managing Middlesbrough.... He also has the personality of a stick insect. Jesus, I actually think I prefer Lee Johnson as a manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm 46 and the only time things have been better for England are when events have interfered with normality. 3 tournaments:- 1986 - Robson injured and Wilkins sent off forced Bobby Robson to change the whole approach and we immediately improved. 1990 - Player power forced Robson to change to 3 5 2 and we immediately improved.. 1996 - No qualification needed. Venables had 2 years to prepare and he knew what he was doing... Normality is failure, incompetence and delusion.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Just got back: Quite simply no midfield. Pogba and Kante made us look silly. Both keepers played well as did Kane. Sterling was positionally excellent but lack final product and seemed to panic bar the opening goal. However my MOTM was Phil Jones who covered for our non existant midfield, put in some great tackles and last ditch touches. Should never have been shafted to right back.
