Alph Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 3 minutes ago, Bris Vegas said: We played 433. Bellingham is more box-to-box, Henderson was the furthest one forward pressing and Rice was holding. We played far better today and in this tournament in general than previously in a back three. Bellingham has been key. He really is a monster in midfield and would get in any team in the world. Bellingham has been the star. He's got it all.

Ram-Alf Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Not so easy taking penalties is it?, That'll haunt Kane for a while, Still a couple of seasons for Southgate 2024, Still the same slow build up, Trying to unlock defences that will happily keep 9-10 men behind the ball, We have the players to unlock these defences...but Southgate isn't adventuress enough RoyMac5, Zag zig, Grumpy Git and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I can’t believe how many fouls the ref missed against us when either VAR showed it was or replays showed it was a foul and how many free kicks the ref gave to France when there was no contact.

Rammy03 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 2 minutes ago, Tamworthram said: I have to disagree on two points. It wasn’t 50:50 we were the better side (IMO). It also wasn’t down to luck. Luck is when something happens that is outside the control of either you or your opponent. For example, the coffee cup incident. The bottom line is, we were the better team but sadly failed to convert our chances especially the guilt edged missed penalty. It was a 50/50 game going into the game. We were the better side for most of it. We were unlucky because the referee was a joke all game, even had to be covinced by VAR to give the penalty. Fine margins. This is the best England side for some time for so many reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henderson naturally played wider on the right to enter the space Mbappe was leaving as he doesn’t defend. But out of possession when the ball went back, Henderson was often closing down their CBs and pressing Lloris. We played 4123 if it matters but tbh if you can’t score a penalty… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty much the same. Without Bellingham I don’t think we play this way. He literally is the first name on the teamsheet because he is the only true box-to-box machine we have in there.

TuffLuff Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Thought it was the tale of the strikers tonight, Giroud got the luck on his header and Kane lost his composure in that second penalty. Was always gonna be the toughest game for us and was always going to be the toughest game for France. Fine margins and a good game. We are so close to being a real top side and theres lots of positives to take, we just came across a side that produced two bits of top, top quality. We miss a bit of ‘blockbuster’ which France has in abundance and it just gave them enough to get past us.

No it’s not simple but at elite level you should at least be on target - we’re going to have to disagree on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
