Firstyardleftinbed Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Classic tournament England at the moment, take the lead and then drop far too deep and invite pressure. Need to get hold of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 3 minutes ago, cynic said: Typical goal from Tammy - he don't miss from 5 yards ! But the movement was key. Great play from Hughes. Laughed when I read on the BBC site "he couldn't miss" completely ignoring, as you say, that his brilliant movement off the ball was what got him there. So like Goater, who used to score loads of these goals, "easy" apparently, yet strangely always he was the only one moving to react to a cross or a ricochet..

You can't coach that sort of movement and anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A soul-crushing semi-final defeat on penalties to the Germans is just what these kids need to get them ready for the senior squad. No point giving them any sense of hope for their collective futures.

Need to get hold of the ball. Yes, agreed. I think one of our problems historically has certainly been ball retention in tournaments and even occasionally in qualifiers vs technically strong sides. In the case of tournaments, could it be the temperatures in most summer tournaments? We play quite a high tempo, pressing aggressive game in PL- not lacking in technical ability, but still as we all know it's quite fast and furious. Part of what makes it great! However...I am assuming it's pretty hot out in Poland being summer. Indeed quick temp check says at least 25C. Doesn't help-I know we are a lot more technical now, I really applaud it. However the temperature thing, combined with temp probably doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost seems like a conscious plan with England teams in tournaments to sit back after going ahead. It's unlikely this is the case but always seems to be the way. Like you say, our general style of play is to be more aggressive with and without the ball so doesn't really suit us and players seem to struggle with the slow tempo. Could be a fatigue thing as well but we seemed to be dropping off too early in the game for that in my opinion. Feel sorry for Tammy having to deal with the service he's getting...
