Chindie Posted June 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2021 The Swiss are being allowed too much time and space over and over again. There's been just a couple of moments of Wales pressuring the ball, otherwise there are letting Switzerland knock the ball around at will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 If the lay off was shite and there wasn't a shot I'd like to see that pulled back by VAR, as it is embolo still got the pass off it was just a shit shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can see is a row of defenders, and a goalkeeper hoofing it very very roughly in the general direction of a distant giant.

villalad21 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) How was that shirt pulling not a pen? You get punished for playing fair. Understand why players dive tbh Edited June 12, 2021 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Wasn't Embolo linked to us around the time Benteke left? Wales sleepwalking to 1-0 defeat here. Them playing 4-2-3-1 dosen't work for me against better teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Wales cant be as bad second half. Bale has hardly had a touch. Need to get the ball to James more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd I'm going by the logic that the foul didn't change anything And VAR check everything, they did watch it, none of this PL review on the screen nonsense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Has Allen or Ramsey even touched the ball. 27 percent possession is really poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 A bit of a shirt pull but it didn't effect the layoff, so never a pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep its big eck stuff, expecting Moore to either win a header and his own 2nd ball or chest it down and beat 3 defenders Surprised he's even bothering to jump if I'm honest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) I watched Switzerland v USA a week or so back, Zakaria was comfortably their best player, I'd read that he was meant to be a DM but looked good coming forward, not sure why he's not started today, but would probably make a difference in this game.

Seems they switched to 4-2-3-1 as soon as Giggs came in but think it just exposes them more against the best teams. Last euros Ramsey was playing pretty much just off the striker and 5 years on he's just not fit given he is bench warming at Juve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampadu should have started for me, he can hold the ball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would hardly stop any player doing anything on the pitch with a shirt pull, it's a myth. We have all played football, would a shirt pull really stop you running full pelt towards the goal or turning to shoot. In the Prem the player has only gotta be touched on the shirt and it's a foul, or they go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
