lapal_fan Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Agreed. Harry didn't "play well" in the knock outs because we lacked a creative midfield. If you give Harry chances, he will score (except that tap in against Croatia ). The problem was, without Sterling playing very well and Alli being non-existent, we didn't create anything. Trippier put a few dangerous crosses in, but Young didn't do that enough, depsite him having a good inswinging cross. But again, it all boils down to us losing the midfield battle, despite having 5 in the middle when we had the ball. We'll get better (hopefully) at ball retention, recycling play, keeping the ball, movement off the ball etc etc. Edited July 16, 2018 by lapal_fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For pretty much the whole tournament we used Kane deeper and used Sterling to stretch the game but once Croatia stopped Pickford passing the ball out and he had to play it long all the time it made the system pretty redundant. Something for Southgate to work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I was going to say putting Trevor Sinclair in this thread should be a banning offence. Thought you actually meant Frank! Anyway after watching him today Jack Butland. Don't get the hype. Guy is on similar level to Ben Foster. His kicking is as bad as Guzan. Amazed at the links to clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea, he is nowhere near good enough for that level. Was surprised at the amount of people who wanted him to start as England number one. Him staying at Stoke also denies SHA getting some money from their 20% sell on clause.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I know this is hardly even a questionable opinion, but Jozy Altidore has just pointlessly kicked a player off the ball and got himself sent off in this MLS game I've turned on.
