The Footie Thread

[Arthur Wedge]

Well wasn’t great

Lack of shape or structure - far too narrow , either Foden or Palmer needs to be replaced for a forward and then have Saka and Gordon wider

 

[Morfeen75]

That was 45 minutes of football to forget.

 

[PJ87]

Well that was tripe, wish they would drop Rice and try someone else in there, he's awful...imo.

Don't be silly now. He has turned arsenal into also runs into genuine title contenders

Yes Watkins needs to come on.
We look wide open in midfield when we lose the ball with both FB pushing forward.
Greece have done their homework.
Against a better team we would be a few down here.

 

[Tashyboy]

England are doing a very good press. However the only way out at times is for Greece to knock it long. Far too often it is put between Englands back 3/4 and the midfield. Rice is not filling that hole and he should.
Pickford is a modern Day Joe Hart. Rammel with the ball at his feet. No wonder he knocked it long in the last Euros.

Go take a shower.

Half time at Wembley:
England 0 - 0 Greece.

 

[Morfeen75]

Carsley needs to bring Phillips and Henderson on

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Well it’s what they deserve


How many defenders around him

 

[Norrin Radd]

Lol ,I just turned on the TV and we go one down .

 

[PaulMdj]

Now we’ll see what Carsley and these players are made of.

 

[clubchamp98]

That’s so poor.
First thing your taught as a lad is don’t let him turn.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Now we’ll see what Carsley and these players are made of.

Was actually optimistic tonight

 

[C7usk]

It's like England are NOT the sum of their parts... I wonder what a pep or similar would do with this calibre of players.. .

 

[Slime]

This is really poor from England.
However, their goal provided the opportunity for a lovely tribute to the poor lad who died yesterday.

Yes it hasn’t worked.
We have some talent in that midfield but it’s not worked we’re wide open

 

[Tashyboy]

Wingers poor, keeper poor central mid poor. Struggling to look for. Positive
Missing senior players to calm things down a bit.

 

[Morfeen75]

Kudos to Carsley for trying something different but he should have ripped that plan up at half time and made 4 substitutions and reverted to a balanced 4-4-2 or 4-3-3
