nick76 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Why in the second half when we needed a goal did he leave Phillips and Rice on! nothing against either of those but we needed more attacking intent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have so many players that are excellent with the ball at their feet, yet they are bypassed all the time. Still can’t believe Watkins or Bamford aren’t in the squad. Kane looks a mess. Watkins would've ran that Scotland defense ragged. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Just now, nick76 said: I understand what you are saying but that for me wasnt that, what we watched was almost as if we were 1-0 and trying to run out the game. It started about 10 minutes into the game, which was bizarre. All that talent in the England team and we are slow going forwards and not trying anything, not creating anything. We get close to an opposition player and then play backwards. Given all these players are from different teams, that then is a tactic by the manager. Its what happens in the final 3rd that counts. That slow pedestrian build up rarely works. When it does - it looks great - but most goals imo come about playing at pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will87 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Very poor, how many chances have we created across these two home games? England always, always disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted June 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 18, 2021 2 minutes ago, Davkaus said: To be fair to Sterling, every time he got the ball, people just stopped and watched him, just like Jack. Ultimately, the team is massively underperforming, the forward 5 look like strangers, and only one man is to blame Yep at least he tried. Mount was useless, watch what he provides, occasional balls forward but loads of short safe balls to either Philips or rice. Southgate has made this a nightmare with Jack being promoted as the nations only chance, it's to much pressure for him and it's divisive amongst the other players, they will be pissed off at hearing it. Southgates fault im afraid , he's useless, we should have beat Croatia in the last world Cup but we failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think England should play Jack at 10 , Sterling left, Foden right and Mount alongside Rice. DCL isnt fast Sterling shouldnt be playing. His goal last game covered how poor his form is at the moment. Do what you want with the rest but Jack, Foden and Mount should be in the starting XI. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 The only thing is. Its not your normal international game. Its more like a local Derby. We have to improve massively and maybe Southgate should have learnt a few things tonight. Do we need Phillips and Rice? I know Phillips had a good game against Croatia but I would still prefer to see a midfield of Rice and Mount and have either Grealish or Foden in the AM role with one out wide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 It is absolutely criminal that with 5 subs and the bench we have available that we only made 2 subs, whilst so many players stunk the place out in that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targett, Konsa, Mings and Cash should be our England back four and Jack and Watkins in the attacking positions as well as future Villa player Smith-Rowe.
