Too much passing without the final ball. Not sure how much energy is left in their legs - assuming it goes to extra time I think England’s best hope will be that Nigeria think they’ve done enough: better, stronger, 10v11 and all that - so they relax a bit.

Numero Uno Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 1 minute ago, The Original OTIB said: Under Sven Perfect summation. This manager is being proven to tactically inept now we don't have home advantage and are up against some proper opposition who have turned up to try and beat us. If I had to criticise Gareth for anything it would be that he sometimes goes too much on the tactical when the handbrake needs to be released a little bit.........as for James, if we do get through I'd send her home and if we get beat she wouldn't be appearing in any side of mine for a while. This performance from the Women today is nothing similar to what the men have produced in recent times, even in defeat. It's a copy of England men from 15-20 years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 In the huddles there, England didn't look mentally strong. I couldn't see a win in their eyes. We need to try and boss this now. Frustrate Nigeria and play possession football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shes off now and England are getting better without her. No surprise. She has been playing her own egotistical game not the positional game of her team mates. A lability in possession and a passenger out of possession. She should have been subbed as she was blowing out of her arse and knackered due to her ineffectual running. England can still win this. There is opportunity to play Hemp or Kelly in behind the opponents. Keep it, move and knock it in behind when necessary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Random point. I've notice that in this tournament, all teams have been placing the ball in the quadrant when taking corners. Not with just a millimetre of the ball on the line as the men do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
