Re: England
Come on!!! Still 3 mins left here. If we take a few more unnecessary risks with no potential reward for 3 more minutes there’s more goals in this...

Playing out from the back - risky with no benefits whatsoever

Re: England
That's it Gareth, tell them to keep f.cking about with the ball in our own box, it's the future I tell you. Gary Neville says we have to continue playing this way, I'm sure that's what he tolld the Spanish side he managed so disasterously for half a season. Ferkin joke the lot of 'em.

I'm not a football coach but i'd like to think that if I was, and my team was a goal down, i'd want to look more towards using the most successful methods of attacking rather than defending. It's not often that i'd want to defend my opponents' 2-1 lead.

Re: England
Playing out from the back is fine. I’ve absolutely no problem with it and the best sides do it very well. Our disallowed goal came from Walker playing with some composure.
Our centre backs on the other hand aren’t very good with the ball at their feet. So fine, still play from the back but don’t take unnecessary risks. If no one is showing for the ball play it more direct.
Pickford’s had a decent game because he’s been handed some absolutely horrible back passes today and generally dealt with them well.

Re: England
Playing 20yrds forward and 50 back.Henderson not fit and poor on the ball.Rice and Stones awful
Why did Walker and Childwell not bomb down the wing and why was Sterling not played out on the flanks were he could do damage.
Southgates tactics very questionable and as someone else said Martin Tylers summarising is shite

Not much a manager can do about unforced errors once the players are on the pitch. Could have second thoughts about the underperforming players for the next competition though.

Re: England
We haven’t conceded from any mistake he’s made like that home. Mee has been a bigger culprit at home.
Re: England
Great breakdown from Neville, Redknapp and Carragher post match.
The second goal wasn’t about playing out from the back. It was about Stones making an idiotic mistake.
Stones had turned away from the man and was facing his keeper. He could have popped it back, gone wide for the return and we could have kept on playing football. Instead he turned back into his man in an effort to take him on despite being the last man.
That’s just stupid.
Even the third goal - Barkley obviously drops a rick but what is Stones doing giving him the ball there? Who can Barkley give the ball too, and he’s clearly got a man on him.
This isn’t a playing out thing. These are poor, poor individual errors.

He mixes it up and probably thinks he’s a better ball player than he is, but he’s nowhere near as error prone as John Stones.
Re: England
John Stones is 25 now.
Barkley is 26 this year.
They’ve played over 400 games between them.
They aren’t the players we thought they were going to be. They still play like they’re teenagers.

Re: England
If England use this as a lesson then we can benefit in the long run. Things like this are simple really: James Maddison is better at football than Ross Barkley, so should therefore be playing instead of him; clearing the ball is better than trying to dribble pass 3 players, so therefore the ball should be cleared.

Re: England
Couldn’t agree more. The concept of playing the ball out and using the keeper as an extra outfield player is perfectly sound - as proven by this season’s Premier League winners. Taking high risk low (if any) reward decisions for 120 minutes is going to lead to trouble. If the better option is to play the ball back to the keeper or hit the ball long then do it.Socrates wrote:Great breakdown from Neville, Redknapp and Carragher post match.

He can drop it back to Pickford, go wide for the return, we recycle the ball and keep playing football.
It’s about our inability to recycle positions, move into space and to give the man on the ball options. That, and Stones being a bloody idiot.
Re: England
Stones at fault for all 3 goals.
I honestly wouldn't feel comfortable watching him playing for us he's terrible, prime example of a player rating himself higher than he is.

Pickford is in the side because he’s great with his feet. Apparently.
So give him the ball there.
It was a shocking decision from Stones. It’s not a playing out thing.

Re: England
There’s not much between Pickford and Heaton generally. I’d say that Heaton is a slightly better goalkeeper in the traditional sense of the word - but Pickford is definitely more comfortable with the ball at either feet and dealing with poor back passes - which he had plenty to deal with tonight. He’s also probably not as good with his feet as he thinks but if he makes a poor pass the ball goes out for a throw in at the halfway line - not really an issue.Socrates wrote:Exactly.

There’s a strong argument to make that at England’s level the keeper’s ability to act as the additional outfield player is worth more than a marginal gain in shot stopping.

Re: England
So Pickford rolls it out to Stones or Maguire. They look around for a team mate but they’ve all gone into hiding. They then have a major decision, launch it or pass back to Pickford. They have been ordered not to launch it but they don’t want to give it back to Pickford. Under this extreme pressure they decide to carry the ball forward. High pressing sides are immediately all over them and, as has been seen tonight, this leads to goals. The pros love it, the public hate it but what do we know.

Re: England
As poor of a display as you will ever see from a centre half at this level. Stones was at fault for all three goals and could have cost England a further two. He was never close to his man for any corner throughout the duration of the game, he's poor in the air and lacks any aggression and nouse for a centre half. His distribution was at best woeful tonight as was his decision making. He's not a third as good as he thinks he is.and hes simply not a very good centre half
You can get away with it at City when you're coasting 5-0 against Burnley, but you will constantly get murdered at this level. The thing is as well he'll never ever learn
