Lrrr Posted March 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Southgate so easily pleased when you listen to his post match comments, should have been at least another 3 but for poor finishing. We were slow moving the ball around too, a better organised defence would have been fine against the speed we moved the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better teams will leave more space too though and not look to just play in their own half. These games are now utterly pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcredandwhite Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 I had no interest in this game whatsoever. We won convincingly and rightly so. I also agree these games are pointless. However, I didn't like the commentators ripping into San Marino for being so 5h!t - they have an entire population of about 30k (including women, children and elderly) to find 11 players from - the size of a small English town like Buxton. England have a pool of about 50 million, so that puts 5-0 into perspective - especially if wages are considered. Bristol has a pool of 500-800k people to select from and can't even field a Premiership side!!!!!! I also noticed that, with all their criticism of San Marino being minnows, the fact that they scored one of the fastest EVER goals against England in a competitive match that REALLY MATTERED was never mentioned.

It did get a brief mention. Lee Dixon joked that it was nothing to do with him as he was on the other side of the pitch. It certainly wasn't a 'for the record' type mention though.

robin_unreliant Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 I see Southgate has picked two defensive midfielders again today. If only we had a coach that would put the emphasis on attack. We will never keep out the better sides with our poor defence so imo should be aiming to out-score them. Would at least be exciting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Pope Trent. Stones. Maguire. Shaw Mount. Henderson Foden Sterling. Kane. Grealish Surely this is England’s best team. Could argue James and Chilwell but much of a muchness really. The other 9 pick themselves for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Horrible game to watch. Passing for the sake of just keeping the ball - not moving their players about at all. No threat on their goal, they're keeping us 30m from their goal aside from dead ball situations. Halfway through the first half and no real threat on their goal and 220 passes - against Albania.

BanburyRed Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Maguire looks clumsy, not sure what Rice and Phillips give us in midfield. Possession stats might look good but no real threat.
