Lrrr Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Scott still moving a little awkwardly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Wouldn’t be upset to see Scott taken off at half time. He’s been on the end of a few heavy challenges late in that first half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Love watching their number 10 run with the ball stuck to his feet, and a very good goal. He's going to be an outstanding player for Italy in years to come, best player on the pitch by some distance. We have a couple of weak spots, not sure why Joseph got the game at the expense of Vale dropping back and Gyabi dropped, he doesn't offer much imo and we don't look as fluid as the first two games (forget the Iraq game as that was very much second string and very poor). The other weak point for me is the centre backs lumping it early in the channels, which is typical of English CBs and just gives the ball to the Italians. Italy much the better team technically, but England have the edge physically. Close game, as the semi in the Euros was, too close to call, could go all the way to penalties.

Lrrr Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Think we need to freshen up a bit, Gyambi on for Joseph (Chukwuemeka up to one of the 10 spots) and Jebbison for Scarlett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Very poor 2nd half. Subs needed before we concede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckie is best carrying it forward from deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was assuming that Gyabi is a CM so one of those 2 moves forward. We need more intelligence going forward. Why on earth that Jebbison isn't on I do not know.

Davefevs Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Better since the subs. Scott getting in the ball more. 3 minutes ago, Lrrr said: Yeah Chukwuemeka has been moved forward another penalty shout for Chukwuemeka He made too much of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Thinking about it, last time Chukwuemeka would have played 90 mins? May be worth Edozie coming on for him with fresh legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 The Ref really wanted to give that, very theatrical announcement. And what's with giving the Ref an offside to look at ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfctim Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Never a penalty in a million years. His arm's basically behind his back, the ball deflected onto him and he's not even looking he's turned away. That's an absurd decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Terrible decisión, but we’ve choked during the second half and invited the pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 This can't be good for FIFA, an atrocious game with atrocious officials on a pitch that would be considered second rate on the downs.
