Non of those players would have made a difference Actually if we had played those players you mentioned then we wouldn't have seen the same performance that we did last night The reason we played well was because we didnt have the likes of milner, baines or walcott slowing down the play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Good attacking display by England.. a bit shaky at the back. Ditto Germany .Could have been 6-4 so many chances at both ends. Quite a good day for watching England .. thru to the semis of the T20 cricket and then beating old football rivals in such style. Both the England cricket and the football team have players who can entertain. Whether we can win consistently I dont know.. this is still England after all.

If Loew had any sense he would start this team at the euros Neuer Kimmich Boateng Hummels Durm Weigl Gundogan Kroos Ozil Muller Reus With all due respect, this is a coach who has won the World Cup. I'm sure the team he starts in the Euros will have more sense than one picked by somebody who 'follows' the Bundesliga. I doubt they'll start two players, 20 and 21 years old, who are uncapped at senior level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd understand that if I was the only one saying that but all of German media are criticizing him too because he refuses to play young players or players in form. Let's be honest if Hodgson played Henderson at right back over the likes of Clyne and Walker there would be upraw. Likewise Loew is criticized for playing Can at right back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest if Hodgson played Henderson at right back over the likes of Clyne and Walker there would be upraw. Likewise Loew is criticized for playing Can at right back But judge him once the tournament is over, he's not done too badly so far as he? I haven't seen Kimmich or Weigl play so I can't really comment, but I would say he would be taking more of a risk by throwing in youngsters. If they don't play before the tournament then they won't start. If he was given the chance to play Khedira or Weigl as a holding midfielder in the Euros final against Spain for example, where he'd be facing Silva, Iniesta, Busquets etc, he'd probably go for the experience. It's a problem in a lot of countries, including England. Reputation over form. We've only started including youngsters because the old lot have retired. If Gerrard & Lampard hadn't retired I don't think Alli would have been given as much of a chance. Then you have players like Mark Noble who can't get in, yet caps are handed out happily to Delph etc. It's one of the reasons Rooney will start in the Euros. He shouldn't because he's probably not even in the top 5 English forwards this year, but he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 It's just important that Hodgson sticks to an identity/style, and only uses players which fit the system. How many times have we seen England over the past ten years play with so little direction? Like, 11 players just lumped together and asked to go out and play. It was so disjointed. Last night was really encouraging because there looked to be a rhythm about England's play. That said, I wasn't too impressed with our defence. Gomez had a clear goal disallowed, Germany's second was really too easy and Ozil should have made it 3-0 shortly after their second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Could have finished 5-5 They might have a few gears to go up Germany but losing Lahm has been massive. I liked very much that we pressed and were not in awe. Our young uns did very well. It makes my heart sink to think that he might drop Ali and Dier to go with Rooney and Carrick/ Milner brigade... This was a team busting with talent. Not sure about winning the European Championships but it looks like a team that can at least compete. It's been a while since I could say that. About 20 years.... WHAT a week... Rugby, Cricket, Football all wins for England. I'm made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a mixed bag for me Eddie.., still a level of brilliance from certain areas of the field ( I don't get the German derision towards Hummels) and created space easily enough at times behind us but was surprised that they didn't do more in the final third. I'm not sure they replaced the class gone from the likes of Lahm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
