Too negative and too slow to adapt during the match. Once Mancini figured us out after 30 mins, Italy were the better side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtrojan Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 I was right about Southgate,bottle job.One of those really defensive managers. Boring,but looks good as we have so many good players at the moment. If we’d gone for it at 1-0 up you expect the result would have been different. We have so many good players ,we really should be winning some of these tournaments now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, what pressure do you put players under when they are just on to take a penalty kick. Saka not really had a good match and no idea why he was up last. Saving two should be enough. Some good moments across the cup, but not there yet. Having played at a decent level and being a centre half I can tell you people wilt at a pen shoot out and just don’t want to take one,guessing that’s why hairband boy and Sterling didn’t step up,what a pen from maguire tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eardun Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Tough to take after our history of penalty shootouts, but overall Southgate and the squad can hold their heads up high. I still don’t feel as bad as I did v Brighton in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 On a brighter note, the world cup being only 15 months away or so is probably a good thing for us, we don't need a rebuild we need to maintain levels, 2 goals conceded in a whole route to penalty shoot out of a final. I just wish Gareth would be willing to take the handbrake off a bit, to only make 3 subs before the last minute or two of extra time, if you want Rashford and Sancho on for penalties let them have 10 mins to see if they can use fresh legs to snatch it. Saka playing CM in a 4141? He showed he was willing to sub off players who'd subbed on think that cost us a lot in general gameplay. Rice I thought was great but was pulled in the 90 mins.

RUSSEL85 Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 The only small consolation for me is that they deserved it on the night. We didn’t batter them for 90 mins and they got lucky. the lads did well and will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. Best team won and Southgate’s overcautious approach cost us in the end. 100% agree terrible tactics, unfortunately history will show we lost the game all the previous games will be forgotten when it really mattered he got it wrong.

Taz Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Rashford's record from the spot is a bit hit and miss. Before Fernandes went to Man U, they tried pretty much every player taking pens and they were all fairly crap. England have done well, no actually better than anyone expected in getting to the final. The thing that bugs me, is why did we spend a large chunk of the game seemingly happy for Italy to play their game how they wanted!? The goal was always coming, and the game for us was crying out for a change from about 5 minutes into the second half because it was blindingly obvious that nothing had changed from before half time. Disliked him as a player, and dislike him as a coach. Far too "safe". I'm sorry but when you have a bench with the talent that we had on it, why do you only bring players like Rashford and Sancho on to take penalties? Pretty sure Grealish tripped over and crushed Southgates cat at some point as well, as I can't understand how he never played more either. I'm off to bed. Up yours Italy.

The Nest Egg Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 It's obviously sad but that has been the first Euros in my life where I have been proud of how we have played and conducted ourselves. Young core and first final in 55 years. Some of the best experiences I have had watching England happened this summer. Tears of happiness against Germany. Watching us crush Ukraine. We're not done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
