Gordon R Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 We won and I am pleased. I will be even more pleased if we win the next too. That said, we were hardly convincing. I cannot understand the reluctance to use Toney, Palmer, Watkins and Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot understand the reluctance to use Toney, Palmer, Watkins and Gordon. Because every England manager has his “gang” and is very reluctant to drop them. During extra time we were dead on our feet apart from the substitutes. Why leave it until 15 minutes to go before changing things? One of the pundits came up with no extra time, straight to penalties after 90 minutes. Seems like a good idea to me 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be much better, if they can't score in 90 why keep going! 10 hours ago, Gordon R said: We won and I am pleased. I will be even more pleased if we win the next too.

Terrified of it not working out and having it blamed on not using the reliable old players, then look at Spain playing kids 😅😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrified of it not working out and having it blamed on not using the reliable old players, then look at Spain playing kids 😅😅 I'd agree with that ! GS has his plans and tactics,,,, the players need to up their game and stop playing safe and start taking risks ! It's like the players have no real confidence in themselves or their colleagues. That's the way I see it anyway 🤷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic first half, let's hope the second half is as good! Game of the tournament so far ?! As you say, fantastic, for us neutrals 😀 And, is that kid the next 'superstar' ? 😃 Just about to turn 17 and can play, and score, like that ?! WOW !!! 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 OK ..........whats the score going to be to-night... 2-1 .....to England ?????? is that a big ask ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Clavata Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 I think it depends what version of the Netherlands turn up, they were pretty good in the last minutes of their previous game. Then of course there’s who we pick and how they line up. As long as the outcome is just and not adversely impacted by officiating decisions then happy to accept the outcome. Cant see anyone but Spain as overall winners tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This campaign's been great for household chores here. I think the only thing left is to reposition the water butt. I've not quite got to that level of boredom. Yet.
