Open End Numb Legs Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 The greatest players need to come back from serious injuries. I hope that never happens to Bellingham obviously but that is what a long career tends to bring at some point. A joy to watch at the moment, he has everything.

Northern Red Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Dominant apart from 20 minutes where we decided to stop playing for some reason. Goal woke us up again and some good substitutions gave some late momentum. Thought Eze in particular looked really bright when he came on. Maguire scoring that own goal will be a convenient distraction for the fact that it resulted from Scotland taking a quick goal kick and none of the front 6 showing any awareness or interest in what was happening. By the time they realised Scotland were already bearing down on our goal. Perfect illustration of how we'd switched off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time they realised Scotland were already bearing down on our goal. Perfect illustration of how we'd switched off. Exactly this. But I’d also point out that it wasn’t necessarily all down to the front players not reacting. Because of the stupid 2xDM system that we play, we did actually have both Rice & Phillips behind the ball and in our own half as they broke away. With 2xCB’s and Walker & Tripper also back too. The error comes from the 2 DM’s both ball watching and not cutting the passing lane to their AM and then Trippier not continuing the run with their midfielder who ends up crossing it. I’d also suggest that Ramsdale wasn’t going to reach that cross so I don’t know why he was coming out. If he stays then Maguires attempt to stop the cross just rolls nicely into the keepers hands. Maguire will get a load of shit for it, but there were 4 other errors that led to the goal. Edited September 12, 2023 by Harry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievably well worked from a side with such a dull manager in charge making too many changes etc etc Yep. It’s great that he’s decided to play two of his most generationally talented players together. Nice to see him put his world class superstar Jude in the middle to be able to heavily influence the game. Nice to see him play super talented Foden and give him a role where he can express himself. Just a shame he played with 10 men, with an extra DM in Phillips being entirely unnecessary and actually getting in the way a number of times.

Between 1962-1970 Bobby Charlton was widely regarded across the globe as the greatest midfielder in the world and a gentleman. Rooney was a wunderkind and great scorer but generally regarded as low on IQ. Gascoigne had moments of brilliance, bordering on genius, but was otherwise a bigoted ****.

Alright then, in footballing ability terms Charlton was a 10 who never lost his head, Rooney was a sometimes 8 but a 6 when he lost his head and Gascoigne a 7 but a 4 when he lost his head.
