JimmyCant Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Need to get Phillips in the book early doors. He fouls all day long. Must have been 6 or 7 fouls today with no card. Good player but One we can get at I think. I thought the game was too big for Foden and Mount today. Accept they are both very good given the time to be very good but again we’ve Got to snap at them on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Brown Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Want to put pressure their hopeless keeper, pressing him quick when he has the ball at his feet in particular. He didn't look in slightest bit confident today. That's Friday, tomorrow first, lets get 3 points in the bag, by hook or by crook.

Armageddon Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I see the difference this time being that many of our players play at this level club wise and know the England players as regular opponents or team mates - we just need to get wired in about them and cause chaos in that midfield. Hit Foden early and hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I was bored watching that England game yesterday and i genuinely felt like i was watching Hearts. A strong first 15 minutes and then, when they ran out of ideas, did nothing except apart from pass it along the back line and then launch it forward. Players who excite week in-week out at club level looked average, Foden had one great moment early on and i never saw him after that...he needs to be given the ball and start influencing games but i reckon nobody played more passes for England than Stone/Mings. One moment of energy and drive won the day and then were hanging on at the end. They will be too good for Scotland but i would fancy anyone's chances against England if they get the first goal.

Considering we have some decent talent there other teams do seem to play through us quite easily...Unfortunately our back line are so poor that the midfield will inevitably be on top of them. I don't think we'll have much chance to get at their CBs unfortunately. Our best chance is that Southgate is too conservative and plays 2 DMs against Scotland!!!

Bozi Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Look their front 3 is terrifying if properly served but while that England team do have potential they are quite young and will get schooled by a more streetwise team. As much as it pains me to say it but McGinn would walk into the England team, Robertson and Tierney as well and their goalie is pish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll find it hard but surely Clarke will have to set up similarly to last night rather than the way he did for the first game - then we’ve at least got a chance 👍 I think England flattered themselves - or to be fair, their press and pundits did - after their first game.

Mikey1874 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Funny how a fighting Championship centre forward harassing the defence could disrupt the whole midfield because Rice and Phillips were pushed back. But they still have potential. Need a rethink and probably a few changes. Drop Phillips and Sterling for Bellingham and Sancho is what I'd do.
