Ian Wright says we are playing with winning runners I can only see Triipps running with the ball

timshorts · Post by **timshorts** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 8:44 pm

That was turgid. I see a fair bit of Netherlands and though they have looked inept at times, I can't remember them looking that boring for a while.
Commentators giving England some praise. For what, exactly? I've not seen a lot of England since the euro's but if there's no Kane, is that it? Running ok, but players are making runs for Henderson to pass it back. Rose is not an international player. Gomez? The sub?
Better than Panama, but that's about it. How is cork not in the squad looking at this? There's a talent free void in the centre of the pitch.

I don’t know a huge amount about football but Tripps looks like he constantly tries to keep the ball moving forward. I’d love to see him score.

He means that there are players up top making good runs off the ball. Hes right about that but there's no-one to play the thing through.
Where's your sh1t Aaron Ramsey. Is he injured again.?

The temperament is good. Nice and patient but they need to go more direct at times.

I like the England kit, apart from that stupid number on the front.

Danny Rose's delivery is on par with DHL working for KFC

Edited as I put UPS at first

Nailed on penalty there.....

It’s not the same officials who did Spurs v Juve is it?
Shocking decision

Yep. This is more like the error prone nl that we knew and loved in the qualies. Excellent through ball though.

I realised after posting it and have no idea where UPS entered my mind.

I edited it before I saw this

Ref is a clown. Gave them a fk in the first half when one fouled Walker before fouling a teammate.
The non penalty is just a bad joke.

It’s no wonder so many are pushing for video technology with decisions like that.

Maguire is a totally right footed CH playing left side.
I'm led to believe he's had a good season but tonight he's been shocking.

GOAL!!!!!

MrTopTier · Post by **MrTopTier** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 9:05 pm

If only there was some sort of video system that could remove contentious - and in the case of the penalty call - incorrect decisions like that

clarethomer · Post by **clarethomer** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 9:08 pm

They couldnt have VAR because the ref wasnt deemed competent enough or something Im sure they said on the commentary.

ClaretDiver · Post by **ClaretDiver** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 9:08 pm

Really well taken goal!!!

Noooo. It doesn't work perfectly from the get-go, therefore it is a complete failure.

So if you have a competent ref, he gets help, but an incompetent one doesn’t????

Most have had fabulous individuals without much team cohesion since 1978.

This current one lacks even a single stand out player imo.

As its a friendly are there more than 3 subs?

JohnMac · Post by **JohnMac** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 9:26 pm

Pickford is very good at shouting after he has messed something up.

He is also very good at pointing, not quite Jay Spearing level, but stil very good.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 9:28 pm

The use of subs is ********. What is the point in taking new players if they ain't getting a game?

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 9:30 pm

Took a good save to stop Tripps then.

Harrythomsonscap · Post by **Harrythomsonscap** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 9:31 pm

My farther played for BFC for4/5 years then Bournmouth then Watford. As an inside forward. He always advocated that in his era the England team should have been picked on units Ie the best from say Liverpool defence. Manu and Burnley attack. Yes I know Liverpool were nobody then. Dad was a great friend of Bill Shankly he had the same idea

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 9:35 pm

England sub been stood on the touchline for 5 mins. Ball has never gone dead. That's how boring international football has become. Barely a challenge in all that time.
Same thing happened to Jack Cork.

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Fri Mar 23, 2018 9:35 pm

Dier on. Another pointless sub.

Just be grateful they are in the squad. It will improve them and freshen them up.
