Agreed, it's all about playing on his preferred side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted July 10 Author Administrator Share Posted July 10 Netherlands have gone very compact since Depay went off. Extra man in midfield has closed the space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I think that needs to be the way the game is played 2nd half for the dutch. First half no attempt to hold the ball was made, and England looked dangerous for once with Foden and Saka causing havoc down the right. Several short kick offs were passed back for a goalkeeper hoof, and with no physicality up front that was just asking for the physical England defense to recycle the ball and put the pressure back on immediately. 1-1 is more than fair considering the balance of play for England, but they should be 1-0 down and chasing. Embarrassing penalty. I think if the Dutch hold the ball in the 2nd half and can build some pressure in midfield the rewards will be there.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted July 10 Subscriber Share Posted July 10 Refreshingly good half of football. Aside from that garbage penatly call. 1-1 probably fair on the run of the play though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Koeman has any style of play. His talk before the game probably goes something like this.....go out there and do something.

Whiskey Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 17 minutes ago, Inverted said: Either the force of his follow-through catching Dumfries naturally threw him down to the floor in agony. Or it didn't, and he he went down to get a decision. The latter is what's known as a dive. He's just smashed his foot into someone else's boot, what's he meant to do? Have a good chuckle and run off? Have a day off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 That 1st half was the best England have performed throughout these Euros. Foden has been excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I can't believe Lee Dixon said that Verbruggen made a great save with that Foden effort that was cleared off the line. If it was a good save, Verbruggen wouldn't have let the ball go past him and almost cross the line FFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that part, I know that's what he meant, but it's still not a great save in my book. A great save is when you prevent the ball from getting past you, that's what these keepers are paid for. If Dumfries wasn't there to cover his arse, it would have been a certain goal. Edited July 10 by Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
