Davefevs Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 16 minutes ago, Super said: We look a shambles. Not sure we look a shambles! We were sloppy though We just tried to keep forcing it through the eye of a needle. Patience, or a bit of something different. As a CB or DM, if you know they are gonna play along the deck into feet…then you can go tight. What you need occasionally is to mix it, turn one around the corner. Got to realise teams aren’t mugs at this level, so it sometimes takes a bit of skill. And that’s what happened, Foden flick…was all it took. Bellingham-Gerrard bursting through and a good finish with his wrong foot from Henderson. Then it’s all us, and Bellingham again…what a boy…and it’s 2-0. At this level we need to care for the ball, not worry about trying to force it. Even if it’s not pretty. It’s about winning. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two centre halves were raging. Now we’ve woken up it’s chalk and cheese. It’s like the goal reminded the players we have a game to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 England fell into a pattern Senegal wanted us to for 38 minutes. Bellingham changed it with that run and then it opened it open. Kane - no idea why people doubt him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then we’ve shown what we are about. You have to find your feet though , to find some rhythm , for players to fight and work out their individual duels When we reached the semis in 90 we were Poor in the group , outplayed by Belgium , somewhat fortunate against Cameroon and ironically played our best in the semi but went out Neutrals watching us would be impressed overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we just do not sit back stupidly deep we should now have this..but you do never know. Exactly. Remember they have nothing to lose but go for it and as we've seen they can be dangerous.

That are a decent side , and very athletic , pressing extremely hard man for man Not easy to click straight into a touch and rhythm under that pressure and was always going to be that sort of opening Was important we didn’t concede , found some touch and rhythm , and exploited any holes in their press when they did come , which we did ....brilliantly Im not sure what some expected tbh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great awareness from Bellingham What? It’s been quite an even game. The other team are the African champs you know, they are allowed to compete in the game. They’ve made it very difficult for us, but hey we’ve scored 2 clinical goals. If we don’t score 8 more second half then new manager for the quarters I’d say 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it before, I like a midfield 3, Rice and Henderson (Philips?) giving him the licence to roam around and influence the game.

italian dave Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 I thought that was a decent half from England. Patient, managed the game reasonably well - and where we didn’t it was more down to silly mistakes than anything else. Senegal are a good side and we were under more sustained and demanding pressure than in other games. The last 10 we really showed how to take chances. And Bellingham……..something else. He’s starting to look like the outstanding player that every team needs and at only 19 that’s astonishing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got the attributes of a Gerrard , the frame of Emile Heskey , the bursts of skill to challenge Gascogne , all with a silky smooth elegance , and a bit of attitude ...astonishing , as you say Always said Gascogne by far the best and unique English player I’ve seen ,but Bellingham is already threatening that 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
