Alex_BCFC Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Spain are losing to Georgia after drawing at home to Greece. As long as we win today and v Poland we should have a trouble free group and that is all we need at moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possession stats might look good but no real threat. First decent cross, and a goal! Who'd have thought! 10 minutes ago, Waffleflap said: With this team we should be tearing it up. Boring possession football. Yeah we're one up but it's painful to watch. Southgate out To be fair to Albanian, they’ve been well organised, have ceded 82% possession and have made it difficult for us even to get clear possession close enough to cross.

Port Said Red Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 On a positive note does anyone else love watching Foden play? There are times when I srart wondering whether his feet are actually touching the ground the way he glides across the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Foden is pure class. I’ve only been watching properly this half due to the cricket and we’ve been playing fine. No need to do much here except make sure we win and then the big one v Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WessexPest Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Not exactly scintillating stuff, but job done. A big part of the problem is qualifying needs a massive overhaul. Back in the day each game was almost like knockout as one qualifying loss could seriously damage your chances of being at tournaments. I remember watching the 0-0 draw in Rome and being on the edge of me seat throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WECANDO Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 The problem with today's game was lack of movement forward. We got the ball in our half, moved it into their half and then turned around and played it back. Did this so many times. Needed Sterling and Foden etc to go long not incessantly short. Albania were organised but toothless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't give any ground and reads the game well. Best player we have at the moment. Also a great threat in the opponents pen area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
