Mr Popodopolous Posted Sunday at 16:54 Report Share Posted Sunday at 16:54 (edited) I'm all for respecting the opposition but this is a side we are playing with two 37 year olds in it. Pekarik at RB and Kucka in midfield. A strong weakness to exploit surely? They WERE good players obviously and a lot of experience but this Slovakia probably isn't as good as the one with Hamsik, Vittek plus those two players in their prime among others. Before we even get into our own failings. Edited Sunday at 16:59 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted Sunday at 16:55 Report Share Posted Sunday at 16:55 6 minutes ago, Sir Geoff said: Any chance of a midfielder showing for the ball ? Thats exactly the problem, isn’t it? I don’t mind the sideways, backwards passing across the back if there’s an end objective to it, if it’s waiting patiently for the chance to play that incisive ball forward. But being able to do that depends on midfield movement and on players working to make space. And we just don’t do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted Sunday at 16:55 Report Share Posted Sunday at 16:55 Gareth Southgate: more conservative than Rishi Sunak. I'm glad we didn't score at the end of the half as it would have stayed the same. Now he might, and that's might, make changes. I wouldn't like to bet on it though.

downendcity Posted Sunday at 16:56 Report Share Posted Sunday at 16:56 Just wondering whether for many players playing for their country just doesn't matter as much as playing for their clubs, and certainly doesn't matter as much as it did for previous generations.

cidercity1987 Posted Sunday at 16:57 Report Share Posted Sunday at 16:57 22 minutes ago, downendcity said: What has been noticeable throughout the tournament is the number of teams that, when they win the ball back, break forward at pace with as few as possible quick positive passes , get numbers forward and thereby stretch the opposition defence and isolate defenders. By comparison, Southgate is using the Bristol City playbook, so when we win the ball back our approach play is laboured, predictable, uses far too many across and back passes, allowing the opposition all the time in the world to regroup, get men behind the ball and back into shape. Other teams seem prepared to take a risk going forward. England's play reflects Southgate, being very much safety first. You have this 17 minutes ago, Super said: Walker and Saka have been shocking.

Davefevs Posted Sunday at 16:58 Report Share Posted Sunday at 16:58 Just now, Kid in the Riot said: Gary Neville Just said the same, apart from don’t swap Walker, he’s been shit. Just get Trent in for him. Get Toney up top with Palmer on too, and get the ball forward quickly, before Slovakia suck the mins out of the game. Even if yo7 play for set-pieces, which is our main / only threat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
