We lost against Croatia because Southgate was tactically foolish. The game changed when Dalic pushed Vrsalkjo further forward in the second half. There were danger signs before the equaliser because Vrsalkjo was getting loads of space down the right and putting crosses in.Southgate should have moved Alli across to cover Vrsalkjo. But he left Alli in the middle to pick up Rakitic when Rakitic had dropped deeper and was not as much of an attacking threat. » Read
Ox gets caught up the pitch too. He may get there in time, but I have seen him for Liverpool. I can see why Klopp is subbing him on for one of the front three now. Ox is only coming on for Henderson when Liverpool are chasing.Personally think Milner could fill the void, but obvs he is retired and getting old now. » Read
Since 2000, the only big teams we have beaten in competitive matches (ignore friendlies) are:Croatia (NL 2018)
Spain (NL 2018)
Croatia (WCQ 2009)
Croatia (WCQ 2008)
Croatia (EUR 2004)
Argentina (WC 2002)
Germany (WCQ 2001)
Germany (EUR 2000)In that time we have lost to Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Croatia, Italy, France, Netherlands, Uruguay etc. The only decent team we have a chance against in competitive matches are Croatia.Yeah, we'll beat Poland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden (that was tough at times tbf, especially in the 2000s), Romania, Paraguay, Colombia etc.But give us a top team and we are stuffed. » Read
They'll get caught high up the pitch and we will concede on the counter. Happens every time against the big teams. We need to learn some humility and accept that there are teams who are better than us and we can't go toe-to-toe with them. » Read
That's because you care about their technical ability. I don't care about their technical ability. I want them to win the ball back high up the pitch and pass it to the front three or full backs. Then get back to protecting the defence.Liverpool's midfield (not exactly goal scoring):Wijnaldum: 15 goals in 157 games
Henderson: 26 goals in 339 games
Keita / Fabinho (combined): 5 in 100 gamesIf you think England can beat Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, France etc. by going toe-to-toe with them and playing fancy football you are living in a dreamworld. We lost to Belgium (twice) and Croatia in the World Cup. We lost to Netherlands in the Nations League. Our competitive record when it gets serious is trash. England need to be defensively solid first and foremost. Win the ball back and use our front three and full-backs to do the damage. » Read
Delph Winks Henderson.Functional and mobile. Want them to win the ball back quickly and protect the full backs. Winks can venture forward occasionally, but the attacking damage should be done by the front three and the full-backs. Just like Liverpool. » Read
Of course he will. But when?This guy holds the PL record for consecutive games scored in. He is in the form of his life. He could easily score in 10 games in a row, particularly given his fixtures and that he is on penalties. » Read
Almost exactly the same team as you except I have Mane instead of Salah.I am planning on doing Mount and Tomori to Robbo and whoever I can afford. » Read
Bernardo ban probably correct IMO. You just can't post that sort of stuff on social media these days, even if the person who it is aimed at is not offended. You would have got away with it in 2000, but not twenty years later. » Read
