The Footie Thread

Bellingham is different gravy.

Want to see much more intent in the final third. Lost count how many times we've all said that over the years.

Foden needs to stay wider imo stretch them out.
Just keep Trippier back a bit and leave the room for Foden.

Use the whole pitch
Saka got the full Back on toast.
Need to get Kane in the game .

Think the refs been a bit lenient with some of the challenges from them.

Bellingham is absolute class ( 20 yrs old ) jeez.

Do we have an English equivalent to the squirrel?

No ........................... we have an England supporter from squirrel world.

Serbia looking dangerous without actually threatening. Need to keep our levels up early on in the 2nd half otherwise we will hand the initiative to Serbia.

Expect Serbia to come out hard...just need to nullify them for 15 minutes and then should be able to exert a bit of control over proceedings.

Just said the same to my lad.

For all the possession we haven’t really tested the Serbian keeper beyond the goal, and I do feel there is a mistake in our back four.

We need a second goal.

Think England want them to come out.
It will create the spaces for the forwards .
Kane might get a touch then, he’s been quite disciplined up to now not dropping back.

Saka caught sleeping there.

They need to make a change on the left - bring on Gordon to replace Foden

 

[Slime]

Bowen coming on I like, but I'd sub Kane, Foden and TAA straight away.

 

[Billysboots]

That ball from Foden just broke up an England attack. He’s not having the best game.

TAA went off for Gallagher

But, despite his talent, he rarely ever does for England.

Missed that, I was making a cuppa.

 

[Captainron]

Foden needs to sit on the bench if you play Bellingham. It’s the whole Gerrard/Lampard thing again. Bellingham is miles better than Foden.

 

[Billysboots]

I’m afraid to say this game really does follow the same pattern as so many England performances. Start well, go a goal to the good, and then make the fans suffer.

 

[Billysboots]

A win is a win. But that was a tough watch.

Pedestrian and boring. Unconvincing against a pretty average outfit.

Typical Southgate mediocrity

Turgid. Nothing has changed. We have no ambition.

Totally agree ,very poor and if we are favourites it doesn't say much for the rest .
