MachoFantastico Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Jack has pretty much cornered himself into being an impact sub, amazing to think he was a certain starter for us. He looked poor tonight, among others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked poor tonight, among others. Jack has been told to defend more, that's why he was ineffective. Being managed by the plastic Pep. Defending not losing the ball are Southgate's priorities. Stuart Pearce trying to defend him on Talksport just, was laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 It's actually kind of funny that England are this boring because Southgate is so arrogant that he thinks he can replicate Pep's style of play. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted June 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2022 Poland 2-2 Netherlands. Cash conceded a late penalty that Depay missed. I tuned in 8 minutes late for the 2nd half and it had gone from 1-0 Poland to 2-1 Poland and Netherlands scored seconds later. Poland's keeper kept them in it. Netherlands dominated possession in first half but had no threat. They turned up the heat in the 2nd and should have won it. Mixed night for Cash. Other than the goal and penalty, he was pretty anonymous. The goal was a long daisy cutter that the defender should have prevented and the keeper probably should have done better. The penalty was really soft imo. Scramble in the box and the keeper pushed away a shot and it glanced of Cash's knuckle. Nobody saw anything in real time, including the Dutch, but VAR made the ref look. The commentators on my feed said it was an obvious pen that changed the flight and kept the Dutch forward from hitting it. I couldn't see any change in trajectory and the Dutch didn't complain. Plus, he was falling backward and the ball was coming back off his keeper a couple of feet away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a squad and team that reflects them not qualifying for the WC too, I think 7 players tonight have less than 10 caps and 2 made their debut, from the starting 11 acerbi has the most caps with 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see it Over these 3 games our style of play hasn't changed its exactly the same as its been for the last 6 years And in that time we've got the NL semis, WC semis, Euros final, topped our qualifiers group 3 times losing 1 game And now we won't get out of a group containing USA, Wales and Iran? Nah Im not buying that Southgate makes this dross awful to watch football work come the tournament and the WC will be no different, we'll get to the QFs and then we'll see who we get 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please pick your point and stick to it. You said that England will not get out of the group. Against 3 other teams with abysmal World Cup records. 9 points available and 4 usually enough.

One thing I am certain of is, we ain't doing shit in that tournament. We've regressed. That was like England under Capello. Just plodding along.

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) England will do fine in the World Cup until they meet a top team. Just like the last 2 tournaments. Edited June 11, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically Villa under Steve Bruce. "But he got us to a semifinal/final" is Southgate's version of "but he got us to a playoff final". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
