Beds are soft, rooms clean and the bathrooms are spotless. The dorms are mixed sex. The first time I went in the next bed as a 19 year old female! So, just to clarify. You went in (disguised yourself) as a 19 year old female or there was one such in the next bed to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Thought we looked pretty decent in fairness, against a poor Dutch side. Other than a habit of dicking about in our own box, a well deserved win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Yeah we passed and moved well but for me i wont even remotely take this team seriously untill we start showing promise in the tournament itself. I remember a friendly against Germany in the build up to euro 2016 and we had a blinder, look what shower of shite we served up when it really mattered.. jurys out for me I’m afraid!!

Midlands Robin Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Promising performance but still not quite sharp enough in the opposition box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Think we looked better without Kane. Southgate selected an eleven to play together in the style he wanted. Ready for tin hat, but Kane only comes alive around / inside the box....and we don’t spend anywhere near enough time in that area. Thought Rashford and Sterling came short really well tonight....and they also stretched them the other way too. I enjoyed watching this performance tonight. Easy to say Holland were poor. We outplayed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't hold the ball, flicks never came off at all. Vardy did better and I don't think he touched the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not forget this is a Dutch team that are truly awful and have been for a long time now and it’s a friendly so it was a testimonial game at times where we could pass it around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I have zero interest in England friendlies.

CheddarReds Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 The 3-5-2, rather than 3-4-3 Southgate had played previously, surprised me. It worked well, with Sterling or Rashford going in behind and Ox and Lingard playing higher. It meant Henderson had more room in front of the back three and we regularly had an overload in those areas making playing out more successful. I questioned Walker's inclusion at centre half, but his athleticism meant we regularly got into the final third rather than get stuck in the middle third we have done at times, similar result with the use of Stones' passing ability. Maguire was comfortable too and Pickford's distribution was the highlight of his performance for me, certainly did his hopes of a world cup start no harm. Fair play to Southgate though, he's got a lot of strength out wide and in the final third but got the balance in the centre of the pitch and in the core right tonight. Lingard, Chamberlain and Henderson's positioning and movement really complimented each other and the side in general. After giving Henderson stick in another thread this was the biggest positive I thought. You can only beat what's in front of you and all that but it was a poor Netherlands side. Despite the positives and looking fairly well drilled I'm still not convinced there's enough in that squad to do anything of much merit in Russia (if we go!)

pillred Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 not sure you could have watched the same game I did, most promising display for ages and yes the dutch weren't much cop, but as they say you can only beat what's put in front of you.

That style wont work when it matters, but would love to be proved wrong. Maguire a huge positive and should be starting above Gomez for sure. Pickford also, should be Number 1, distribution is the best out of the 3. Hart should not be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were all meant to come under attack from Ukrainian hooligans at Euro 2012 - Sol Campbell’s infamous line, ‘you’ll come home in a coffin’. We were all meant to be carjacked and shot in South Africa in 2010. We were all meant to be mugged and fatally stabbed in Brazil in 2014. I had a great time at all three tournaments. Perhaps I’m being blasé about Russia, but I find some of these multiple scare stories hard to take seriously. Are you forgetting we DID get attacked in an organised manner in Marseille 2016?
