Aside from that his handling was good and didn't have to make any difficult saves due to a solid back four. My concern was when we played the ball along the back line to Trippier. Better sides will press once he takes the ball back onto his right foot. That was a decent win capped by the superb Kalvin Phillips. Knows how to break up play, shoot and deliver a killer pass. Our first ever opening game win at a Euro Finals. Lovely. Yeah this was like a first look for me at some of these guys. Phillips is one of those guys every good team needs but he's apparently added more forward thinking to his game. Shame we couldn't get Foden involved more and I thought our best passage of play was when he came and overloaded the other side.. Maybe through frustration.. Also really like the look of Bellingham.. He's going to be awesome for us.. Maybe this tournament or the next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the coaches and management are technically more 'qualified' than fans, but it doesn't mean fans can't have an opinion otherwise what's the point. There will be many times when coaches and managers get things wrong and fans should be able to debate and discuss anything they want about the sport.

And Its Smith Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 10 hours ago, Port Said Red said: It had to be played some time, they made the best choice. Your wording in other posts suggests outside pressure which has shown not to be the case. Denmark's Euro 2020 match against Finland should not have restarted after midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed mid-game, coach Kasper Hjulmand says. "No, we should not have played," Hjulmand said on Sunday. “Players have different reactions to shocks and trauma but we'll try to get back to normal as much as possible. I get the feelings from the players that maybe the time is too short to try to play football again, but maybe we can use it as a force to get together and try to go out and do our best in the next match."

Can someone please give explain why two goal keepers were named on the bench rather than one of the two really good players that were left out? Secondly, today was decent but I feel some are hyping it more than it was ( especially the BBC) . It was a start, nothing more. Improvement definitely needed, although we never really looked like conceding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Journalist Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 I thought we played really well against a very good side. There’s definitely a bit of snobbery about it ‘only’ being Croatia and not Germany or whoever - even if subconscious - but that lot are a strong team. It was just very controlled from us and in that sort of heat too. And we had really good possession against a team that passed us off the park three years ago. The middle three - Rice, Phillips and Mount - was the key but for me and it’ll be interesting to see how that develops as the games go on. I don’t see Phillips getting that much freedom to bomb forward again, it was a superb tactical move to play him in the role he did. Can’t really have too many complaints.

Opinion is fine, it’s the over-reaction, the instant “he’s not got a clue”, “we’ve lost this” that gets me. Often before the reason for certain selections are explained. 15 minutes ago, And Its Smith said: UEFA stipulate 2 keepers must be named on the bench I think Correct, and even if you don’t name a 2nd keeper on the bench you must stipulate an outfield player to that position I read somewhere.

You have to assume its is someone being a dick, if not Wembley surely will lose its safety certificate! I will get my apologies in early if it was not someone being a dick.
