Is anyone else here old enough to remember when football was exciting?

By that do you mean England? Because football in general, I do find exciting.

This however. This is something else.

I wouldn't go as far as depressing. You said in your previous post that Switzerland attack down the left, and this is where most of their goals have come from. It's understandable why he's gone for more defensive stability there. Trippier is also excellent on the ball and puts in some wonderful crosses. Playing as LB nullified those two qualities.
In terms of today's formation, I suspect that Saka will play higher up the pitch than Trippier, but we'll see. At least with this formation there's proper width on the left, which has been lacking thus far.

Depressing in that Trippier offers nothing in an offensive sense. I suppose if he was on the right, his delivery would come into play.

This is a game that Switzerland could nick.

Definitely, it's an even game. If they score, it's difficult to see us equalising.

But if we're lucky, we could nick it.

Not sure what match the BBC analysts have been watching, not far off another bore fest by us

I wonder if they got told to tone the criticisms down after the abysmal Group games. You could see it in the last game they were trying to be much more positive.

It’s a bore fest but the other 2 games yesterday were also. System much better. Think we’ll win this one by at least 2 goals!

There could be extra time. Bit early to be shitfaced.

Having described them as sh12 earlier in the tournament, Lineker has obviously been told to big them up today? I cannot think of any other reason why he would say that we have been good.

Watkins/Toney on for Kane and we look 3x better I think

Kane needs to be subbed or be supported as offering nothing. Swiss pressing really well and have a game plan. Why we didn’t take a recognised left back is baffling (Shaw injured).

What the actual f*** are Rio Ferdinand and Micah Richards talking about? “We look like we could score any minute?”

They’re RAVING about us.

What the FUKKITY FUKK?

We haven’t had a shot on target. Our XG is around 0.2.

This is mental, I can’t believe what I’m hearing

I think they've taken something. This is why I don't usually watch the pre/HT/post match talky bollox. I only caught a few mins when I got back from the kitchen with another large G&T ... but FFS, they are really trying to hype that performance up.
