England Senior Team General Discussion Thread

He's really not that fast. He's not slow but he's certainly not rapid either.

 

Carragher doesn't give a toss about England. Miss Gary neville

 

If this was a tournament any manager with balls would take off a defender and go 4-3-3 and attack. Our defensive plan hasn't worked and has shipped 2 goals. We need 3 goals to win..

Its amazing we have so much attacking talent yet Southgate still makes it hard to watch

 

I thought we were the better side in that half. Very unlucky with the goals, and we've had three or four very good chances ourselves. It happens.

I would still like to see how this system works with a more ambitious midfield though. Obvious move is to put Sancho on for Rice and move Mount back into midfield, but Foden would be interesting too.

Oh, and I disagree with whoever said Trippier had been poor - I thought his movement and crossing were both excellent.

 

Statistically England have been better than Belgium so the performance has been solid like christiansur said we need rice off foden or sancho on

 

To be fair Henry Winter on twitter is talking some sense, he wants 4-3-3 too

 

Winks is on for Henderson

 

Wow southgate is proactive

 

I prefer Winks but is it really enough of a change?

 

Yeah. Maybe the press will start questioning Southgate in articles

 

The best change would have been winks on for dier and 4-3-3...

 

What a complete waste of a free kick! Where’s Ward-Prowse when you need him.

 

you do realise you can change shape when making a sub right? you don't HAVE to stay in the same system...

 

Lmfao!! Who needs defenders in the bloody wall when Mings can do it for them!! Jesus Christ!

 

Well you didn’t say that did you

 

The ref is USELESS

 

We seem to generally be terrible at direct free kicks. Trippier's in the semi final aside when was the last one we scored?

I can remember a Rooney one against Estonia in 2014, that's about it. 2 going back probably 60, 70 games or something. Not so great given the amount of games we dominate.

 

Meunier should have been off there. Oh well.

 

I figured an intelligent poster like you would work that out for yourself...

Kane with a great chance but rushed it

 

Dier in 2016, I think?

 

didn't Trent score one in a friendly?

 

The main thing I've got from this half is Kyle Walker has a massive bald patch

 

Ah yes, that one too.

His only goal was in open play against the USA

 

Belgium have actually been poor which says more about our inability to create chances
