Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted June 21, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 21, 2019 England actually have to win this tonight. Lose it and we're out (if its head to head). Draw we're going to need to hammer Croatia and hope Romania get well beaten by the French to go through. Win it and we should be OK. Yet another potential crunch game against Croatia mind.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted June 21, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 21, 2019 Only seen about half of it but a very flat performance so far. While I'd have put Calvert-Lewin in up front I wouldn't have made quite as many changes as he seemingly has. Fodens exclusion is particularly odd.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted June 21, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 21, 2019 Just looked up the lineup and realised Dowell is also playing. Didn't notice him in 20 minutes there which doesn't reflect well. We have far too many young players who go from being the best in their position for England throughout the youth teams then hit a wall when they reach first team age and end up never making it. Obviously not basing that entirely on today but it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted June 21, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 21, 2019 Demarai Gray looks like one of those players who was so good growing up that he was always by far the best player on the pitch, and never learned how to play in any other way other than doing everything himself.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted June 21, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 21, 2019 2-4 game over. This group of England players have made it very clear here that they're not used to playing together as a team, coupled with a trio of mistakes, each more ridiculous than the last, and you're out.

His tactics were poor but Choudhury, Wan-Bissaka, Kenny, Tomori and Henderson have all dropped massive individual errors to contribute to these two results which can't be pinned entirely on the manager. Today was just a total meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted June 22, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 22, 2019 I thought his subs against France were absolutely ridiculous and put us under huge pressure yesterday (I didn't even realise beforehand only one team automatically went through) which surprise surprise, we bottled spectacularly. Last summer really was a one off. We are just horrendous at tournaments at so many levels. Time and time again we blow it with absolute howlers. There've been about six in the two games. Tell you what I'll hold my hands up here. For all my Maddison clamour he was shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that probably was harsh, but I have read some pretty concerning stuff about this year - that we've blown basically everything at every level in 2019 and that things behind the scenes have gone back to how they were before ever since Dan Ashworth left. Just when you thought the FA had seen a bit of sense. Hopefully players like Foden, Sancho & Hudson-Odoi keep us competitive because they're three players with enormous potential.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted June 23, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 23, 2019 Austria v Germany is turning out to be a class match. 1-1 in HT; Austria a bit unlucky not to take the lead. Great save by Nübel on Kalajdzic header first and then they hit the post just before the half time whistle... Austria looking good as well, hope they can get a win here today and advance to the knockout stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
