tom_avfc Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Why have commentators seemingly been told to criticise VAR every time it’s used. Pretty obvious foul by Wilson so the goal gets disallowed and Martin Tyler goes on a rant about how everyone will be falling over for some reason. Another good use of VAR but it’s annoying that it’s against England again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 9, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2019 Yeah it's annoying. The way Tyler talks about football though I don't think he really understands it. Talks some utter nonsense at times. Strikes me as someone who's never actually played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want a goal disallowed, don't pull a defender over, pretty simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_avfc Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 It really seems like there’s an agenda amongst many in the British media to try and discredit VAR as much as possible and it’s pretty tedious. How can anybody not see that that is a foul and a correct decision. I just don’t get why anybody would have an issue with that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 England back to picking players out of form and not even playing for the their club sides. Team is disjointed, unbalanced, lacking intensity and quality. Its like the old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re the better side second half too without really creating much. Finishing has let us down as otherwise we’d be looking at a convincing win.

rodders0223 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Really starting to see just how turgid, inflexible and tactically clueless Southgate is now. Basically Bruce, the longer the game goes on the worse we get, the more subs he makes the more disjointed and slower the game gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who can come on and turn the game though, the squad is full of utility players but no one who really makes things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Already been mentioned, but Southgate another manager who picks players who play for the top clubs, not who are in form. I mean it's blatantly obvious now Kane is far from fit, why play him??? Struggle's to score this team, every game. Goals look very lucky all the time.

They are probably a bit pissed that 90% of their colleagues are on beaches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly time to schedule qualifiers for me, let them have a rest in a non-tournament year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Why do they even have a third place playoff in this when they dont even bother in the proper Euros? And why the **** have they got extra time in it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukraine vs Switzerland in 2006 possibly worst game ever. Switzerland even missed all the penalties in shoot out Can imagine McLeish and Pulis were inspired that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Regardless of what people think of the competition, it's nice to see we're competing at the top end and holding our own. Fantastic 12 months for England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Well the big plus of this tournament is these England players have proven again they can actually take composed penalties under pressure. Scored 10/11 penalties over the last two shout outs and today there wasn't Kane or Rashford on at end to take one and they're the best two takers in the squad. That's something to take at least.

Fantastic 12 months for England. Yep I think when you reflect on it properly it's been a great year, maybe a bit lucky at the WC, had pretty unflattering tactics as a basis, strong at set pieces and an outright goalscorer Big next year though, we'll piss qualifying again and the cracks in this team are there for all to see, positives are I think he's held some players back for the U21s (maddison especially) if we go in to the euros next summer with the same faces playing the same way then you can ask serious questions of Southgate, at the moment all our problems are there for everyone to see, Henderson makes this midfield a lot better which tells you everything you need to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowest common denominator, always is probably always will be You know that bloke Gary at work, the man Utd fab who talks utter bollocks, so much bollocks that you wonder if he ever actually watches football?
