Arnautovic's insult was towards a North Macedonian player and with Arnautovic's Albanian roots it was seen as a political or ethic insult. Bellingham's action was just stupid there were no political or ethic reasons in it. Quote
Rick Posted July 6 Posted July 6 (edited) He’s played Trippier on the left again….knobhead. Edited July 6 by Rick Quote

El Profesor Posted July 6 Posted July 6 (edited) The swiss are breaking the english defensive lines with ease. England lacks cohesion. It fees like a team is playing against a bunch of players. Only the individual brilliance from its players can save England. Edited July 6 by El Profesor Quote

Rightly or wrongly I think they look at the nature of the insult, anything political ethic or racial gets a ban. Stupidity just gets a fine and probation. Quote

It feels like England's best defensive strategy for this one holding the ball possession for long periods, because when Switzerland is given time to circulate the ball they are easily finding holes in the english defense.

Administrator Stan Posted July 6 Author Administrator Posted July 6 Waste of an attack. Why did Trippier cut back, he had space to run into. Quote

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 6 Subscriber Posted July 6 What on earth is the thinking behind playing a left footer at right wing back and a right footer on the other side? Quote

Saka is fine on that side as he's used to cutting in and is skilful enough to go both sides of the opposition full back. Quote
couscous Posted July 6 Posted July 6 The Musiala Bellingham debate is back on because Musiala was shite yesterday. Quote
Reluctant Striker Posted July 6 Posted July 6 Absolute lunacy, to change formation, but maintain the exact same issue of 2 right footers on the left & 2 left footers on the right. TAA on for Trippier & swap flanks with Saka, to get some penetrating overlaps. Please. Quote
couscous Posted July 6 Posted July 6 (edited) I think Switzerland come to these international tournaments with the sole aim of making it to the knockout stage. I doubt the players expect anything more from themselves. I doubt the fans expect anything more. They look clueless out there. Their target has already been achieved. They can just go home happily now. Edited July 6 by couscous Quote

One of the benefits of having a wide attacker that cuts inside is to create space for an overlap from behind but there isn't anyone behind in this instance. Having wrong-footed players in both positions in a formation where they're the only two players who can provide any width just guarantees you won't have any width. I didn't whinge straight away because I thought the plan might be for them to alternate sides during the game, but no, England are genuinely just going for the "let's see if we get a lucky bounce through the crowded centre of the pitch or just hope someone scores a screamer" tactical approach...

couscous Posted July 6 Posted July 6 This is not great viewing. Let's hope it doesn't go into ET. Quote
Dave Posted July 6 Posted July 6 Switzerland look most vulnerable if you cen get it past Rodriguez. At the same time, they also look most threatening when Rodriguez, Aebischer and Vargas link up on the left. Quote
