Davefevs Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Re selection tonight, no arguments from me. All good enough individually, and I think they each give different options. Looking forward to the game, Senegal no mugs, and I think we need to be mindful of their athleticism and physique. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 2 minutes ago, TomF said: To be fair Saka being dropped in first instance was harsh given his Iran performance. Nobody really played well v USA. I guess also shows how much strength England have attacking wise Agreed I think any tow form Foden, Rashford and Saka. All offer a lot, and something slightly different form each other. It's harsh on Rashford, but he'll come on and get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 8 minutes ago, BCFC Rich said: In all honesty (I don't know anyone else who likes this idea ), but when the MLS started (current version) they did not allow draws and so often had shootouts. Howevere they did these more like ice hokey - keeper on their line, player 35 yards out. The player had to run in and try and score, I like it more because its much more about the skill of the keeper and the player. Where as penalties are much more luck. I also realise i'm pretty much in a minority of one in these thoughts Penalties are not about luck. Being able to find the corner of the goal isn’t lucky. Loads of skill involved.

Loads of skill involved. there is definitely skill in the kick and handling the pressure, but it's weigh more of a lottery than with the run + for the GK it is mostly luck, trying to look big and guessing right to even have a chance of saving. With the run in it would be more about the players ability and soooo much more about the GK's ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily. But wouldn`t have been able to touch the ball. I`d warrant JET would have still found a way to score most of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Fred Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 3 hours ago, italian dave said: It’s the player who played 169 games for the club, 51 goals (only 25 players have ever scored more for the club), who slogged his guts out for us for 3.5 years and often in a pretty thankless role up front, and whose mind (like many players or other employees in a similar, situation) was elsewhere when it became apparent he wasn’t wanted. I’ll always think of him fondly and hope he does well (not tonight obviously). I'd say lazy barsteward would more suffice ...

Touch like a breeze block , no football brain whatsoever . Downing tools shows the true character or the man. He scored 1 goal every 3 games, with a shot to goal conversion rate of 15%, consistently across 3.5 seasons of the Championship. Not many strikers manage a record like that, especially in a team like ours. He's carried that ratio on in Turkey as well, so he's clearly got something about him. As to the "true character" being revealed. Even if that is true, it doesn't erase that previous 3.5 years of excellent service. Anyway, to each their own opinion. In mine he's fully deserving of his place on our top scorers board. Now, were he to score a goal that knocks England out tonight, I may reassess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheltons Army Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) I think Saka over Rashford to start a fair shout - Rashford also more likely to be impact off the bench than Saka I may have started Sterling before both if he was available , so think he’s called it right Glad Fodens kept his place Go Boys Edited December 4, 2022 by Sheltons Army Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
