Whenever a team has threatened us it’s been down his side . He gives the ball away too much as well. How on earth did he even get in the squad, he's rubbish!!!

tin Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I'm intrigued to see how the players handle the occasion tonight. Will they cope with the expectation or go into their shells? Denmark are no mugs. They beat the Czechs authoritatively in the last round, and are playing for a cause. Our 55 years of hurt don't really compare to that. We also lost to them last October. We've got more quality in our squad and the carrot of a Wembley final in front of 90,000 mostly fervant England fans I hope is enough to shade it. Southgate's got it spot on tactically so far in this tournament, let's hope he gets it right again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team was very different to the one that will play tonight and we played most of the game with ten men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Germany game shows they'll rise to the occasion and handle the pressure just fine. We have a squad made up of players who are used to winning things and playing in big games.

Bristol Rob Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Hopefully we aren't left crying in to our Carlsberg and spluttering over bacon sandwiches after this evening.

Just make sure the bet is to win the tie and not in 90 mins or worse case scenario we lose in extra time or worse pens and you lose a hundred notes . I made a similar mistake once!

An amazing number of place names, especially further north came from the old Danish language, almost all towns ending in -wich, -ton, -ham, -by, -thorpe, -stoke/stock for example.

If they couldn't get up for that, at Wembley, in front of fans after playing behind closed doors for more than a year, they shouldn't be playing at this level IMO.

I think it helped that Germany came to win the match. My concern is that Denmark see what Scotland did and employ similar tactics - but with their better quality across their team might will be far more dangerous. We need an early goal tonight ideally.

I genuinely wonder if they have any concept of when is a good time to do them. All for the sake of some posh **** in a boat. 24 minutes ago, tin said: I'm intrigued to see how the players handle the occasion tonight. Will they cope with the expectation or go into their shells?

This is either our 'breakthrough' moment a bit like happened to Spain after years of failure.. or we fail again. This feels different this time around, the mentality of the team, the manager etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he does have, and I think its fairly critical to the way Southgate sets the team up, is blistering pace, if it wasn't for that he probably wouldn't get in regularly before the other options.

Without his pace . He wouldn’t be a international player imo . Just don’t think he’s defensively minded enough & relies on his pace to get him out of trouble.
