mikeyp102 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) England with all the possession in this, but Carsleys odd tactics still ring. It’s crying out for a CF, and who better than our Archer to lead the line, move the defence about to ensure we get in behind.

OutByEaster? Posted July 5, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2023 Israel are a horrible team and really shouldn't be here. Hopefully Carsley sorts himself out second half and gets Archer on at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 In the lead up to the pen, Ramsey would’ve scored there, striking first time where Smith Rowe takes a touch. Think we are missing his driving with the ball, Gordon is trying to do that, but he’s not as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 Completely forget they were playing, lost interest now Ramsey injured, and the stupid decision not to play Archer, England played their best football in the tournament when Archer was on the pitch against Germany, neither goal would have been scored in that game if it wasn't for him, and the thanks he gets is being dropped to instead play Gordon as the striker, who other than a few simple goals hasn't done much at all, which I don't blame him for as he's not a striker, it's not even as if he's being used as a false 9 that would be a little more understandable, but if going to play him as a striker then just use the actual striker in the squad who's scored five goals in eight appearances or whatever it is and got a few assists.

But it is very dour, very well drilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted July 5, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2023 The worry for me is that if a non-European nation can compete for a European national tournament, then there's a precedent for a Saudi club side to play in the Champions league. Europe isn't a bank, you don't get to be on a different continent because you've got money and allies and no one round your way likes you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least for a long time? Id agree that the non European nations intervention in European leagues would be terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted July 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2023 Sadly the only reason Israel play in European competition is because their own true confederation is entirely made up of countries that don't accept it's existence, so sadly Europe gets them.

OutByEaster? Posted July 5, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2023 2-0 up - surely a time for Archer as Israel have to push forward and leave a bit of room at the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted July 5, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2023 UEFA TV crashed on me - I watched 89 minutes and missed the goal! Can anyone describe it? EDIT - I figured out you can rewind it - it's quite the smash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
