Really? Most of tonights team are playing in the hope that they might get picked as the tournament progresses, did you see any one of the 8 changes that you would pick?, I didn’t.

JamesBCFC Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Just now, BobBobSuperBob said: Totally agree But if we arnt up to Columbia there’s a good chance we’d not have got through the harder half of the draw and Brazil , Mexico etc would anyone have taken beat Columbia and Sweden/Swiss before the tournament Yes please Lets be honest any game now will be tough (Tho I’d have been v confident about Japan) but the gods have smiled on us and opened a door Are we good enough to cash in ? If by cash in you mean win the tournament then I highly doubt it, but wouldnt rule it out completely. If you mean reach (at least) the semis, then it's not unfeasable in the draw we're in. But we will have to face one of the 'big nations' or favourite again at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Columbia are tougher opposition than Japan but it’s a trade off because now we have an easier route to the final. Tonight was the perfect result imo.

True but what I meant was , for example , as much as I like Rashford and some flashes of star quality it IMHO shows Sterling offers more all round even if he’s not red hot Henderson v Dier etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good right sided player will have Young on toast, Young can’t pass with his left foot, let alone tackle with it. Young and McGuire are both right footed playing on the left, you can get away with that as an attacking player, but as a defensive unit it’s fraught with danger. Columbia have an attacking threat down their right, I’m sure they will be aware of the scenario!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the other countless right wingers that Young has had in his pocket this season. Rose got mullered by a bang average player tonight and will be totally slaughtered by anyone approaching decent. Rose is nowhere near the level required currently, hopefully he will get back there but he would not be the first player ruined by an injury.

I’m not defending Rose, what I’m saying is that we are very susceptible down our left side. I don’t believe Young ( who has played nearly his whole career as a wide right player) is a very good left back. Salah is a left footed right sided player, hence he cuts inside meaning Young was able to tackle with his right foot, A right footed wide right player is a completely different prospect.

Midlands Robin Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 i am not a happy Bunny tonight. I would have wanted to play Japan far more than Columbia. It feels like we've run out of steam playing the squad players tonight. Having said that, Rashford should have scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul G Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Basically Belgium 2nd team beat England 2nd team. Now the tournament starts and I believe we can beat Colombia as they weren’t that impressive today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 This rubbish will all be forgotten come Tuesday. Momentum can be gained just as quick as it is lost. A win and everyone will say we are going to win it again. The truth is in the middle. Personally don't have any issue with tonight and byproduct is we are now the easier side of the draw. Once we have the proper team back and Kane up top its a different ball game. Colombia will not be easy - no one will. But the route to the final is much easier this way. Semi's would be incredible tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
