RumRed Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 All this opposition set up defensively against England excuse is a smoke screen. Of course you would, you know that our team seems to count possession above goals. I wouldn't be surprised if the defence played the sideways passes just to up their stats. We play (mostly) like dinosaurs so the opposition do likewise. Fair play to the Welsh (you gits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Frankly, playing Vardy, Kane, Sturridge with a slow motion system isn't going to deliver lots of goals. All three are best running into space. We allow teams time to pack their defence and midfield and then complain when they do! There were times when we had a 'quick flick' option to break out of defence but - as ever - choose to slow it down passing backwards or sideways. Our players have been coached possession football above all else. Thank you FA for FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If we had won the game people would say we didn’t miss them [the players who were left out] and when we don’t they say the team selection is wrong, I am used to that one. Yes. The only word in that which matters is 'if'! Yep we were playing a team that stuck everybody behind the ball. We seemed to finish the game at walking pace with 5 playing in the number 10 position and no outlet wide. The few times they committed players forward and we got the ball, we seemed to stop to allow them to get back in possession. We are how many years in to Roy, and I really have no idea what he considers our preferred style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It 's a group format, not a beat your rivals format. Wales did what they had to against 2 poor sides, we didn't. If Wales had played three teams with 11 men behind the ball for 90 minutes, they might have struggled. Likewise if Slovakia and Russia had played a more open game against us as they did against Wales, we would likely have won those games comfortably. I am not defending our performance tonigh and I do accept we should have been capable of winning the group regardless. But Wales have benefitted from the approach of the opposition.

In the first half I would agree. Second half retention was ok, just far far to slow at times. For what it is worth, I do not think we lost the top spot today, but in hindsight against Russia when a goal up. That is when the top teams control the ball so well, and drive you nuts chasing shadows. Instead suddenly we were behind the ball defending, having run the game up to that point.

havanatopia Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Poor decision by Woy to 'rest' Rooney and Walker; our two best players overall in the first two games. Without Rooney, especially, we don't work well as a team; it was a disjointed performance with no finish but much credit must go to Slovakia for a great defensive display especially Skirtel who was as superb as I thought Bertrand was poor. I doubt we will play against a better defensive display nor a team who will be able to afford to just defend in the knock out stages, stating the obvious. I am glad the group stage is done; always a cagey affair; now we can see the real England, with a bit of luck. Hope we don't bottle it against the Portugese if that is our destiny in the last 16.

Now I don't know the injury situations but Walcott, Townsend, Ox Chamb and my personal favourite Nathan Redmond all would've been quality additions. Even playing an attacking full back at winger may have helped like Cresswell. All I know is that for all the attacking talent I hear that England have, you've scored 1 goal against Russia and Slovakia(FK by the way) and Wales scored 5 past the same teams. As for more space against attacking teams, I'm not buying that too much. England have had some chances and haven't been clinical. This team screams of the good ol boys and their clique. Have wasted spots out there on "big club" players that don't really care. Henderson, Wilshere, Sterling. What do they bring? Nothing. I can't understand why they're there. Why not Townsend? Championship player? One of those in the French though. His teammate who had a 75 yard run knocking defenders over and picking out pin point crosses. Anyway, rant over, but England can't progress under Hodgson and maybe even the FA who saw fit to employ him. I think England will win their next match and everyone will be excited again but I won't. Can't see them going any further than that. England being my new home, I want them to do well but just can't see it. Maybe I'm feeling what all my mates have told me about.

On a different night we had enough Chances to win comfortably, but for some heroic defending by that Liverpool goon & co. The way we're playing, we just need it to click and we can beat anyone. Yes, it's disappointing to come second in the group to Wales, but I think most of us would prefer it that way round. Passing was ponderous,they need to move the ball faster..held the ball OK but its so slow.and the crossing??how many times did we not beat the first man??..only Dier/Clyne with any credit.the lack of pace in our general game meant we couldn't cash in on Vardys sharpness..also felt too many changes took the edge off of momentum from Wales win..now its knockout,we really will see.

054123 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I thought it didn't help playing a Russian side at the start when they were up for the fight compared to playing them at the end when they did not give a shit (see the tracking back when Taylor gets the ball. They stop straight away) and playing Slovakia at the end when they set out for nothing more than a point compared to the opening game when it was up for grabs and they felt they could go at the Welsh.

The excuses are wearing a bit thin now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
