[Football] England vs Belgium

[Terry Connor]

Rice doesn’t trust Dunk.

Thought the same. Body language.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Agree, he’s coming way too deep.

Possibly under instruction

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Colwill?

Hasn’t played that much this year, and when he has nothing special IMO.

 

[Seagull58]

Looked exactly like same situation against Roma, didn't learn anything from it.

He played it differently but with the same result.

 

[Napier]

Rice doesn’t trust Dunk.

I noticed that. Rice has only passed to him a couple of times, seeming to look
for any other option.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Possibly under instruction

Perhaps, but it prevents us pulling Belgium out of position.

I probably enjoy watching us on the ball too much.

 

[jordanseagull]

He let Giroud for for the winner in the last World Cup....

Remarkable how people just don’t care to remember this.

 

[The Fits]

Feel for him but it was Inevitable. Compared to the last 4 or 5 years he is desperately out of sorts ATM.
Summer off will be good for him and good for us.
Just hope this doesn't ruin him mentally.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Not good from Dunky. Been hot and cold but doesn’t look himself. Prob not up to starting with Stones yet but would take him to the euros still. Shame the assist was disallowed.

That said, we’ve played some decent stuff overall and Toney has been excellent.

Yeah Toney along with Mainoo has been a real plus.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

Where was Stones, and Konsa was shocking in the moment too ….. ball watching in no man’s land.

Off injured…?

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I noticed that. Rice has only passed to him a couple of times, seemingly looking for any other option.

Yep. And when Dunk misplaced a pass earlier in the game Rice was shouting and indicating to him to calm down. It’s not just that Lukaku error - his passing has been woeful.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I think England could really do with Ben White, he's the sort of defender that might have bailed Dunk out of the shit. It's a diisaster that someone as intelligent and versatile as White is not up for selection, we cannot afford for him not to be in the squad. Konsa and Gomez are not in his class.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Which games out of interest ?

Just off the top of my head

As mentioned the Giroud winner (after doing it 2 minutes earlier and getting away with it)

Tunisa in the group stage

He was weak as for the Italian equaliser in the Euro finals

 

[Meade's Ball]

If Kane was fit he would have run back and cleared that cross. We're at a complete loss without him!

 

[A1X]

Why are the England band doing “Don’t take me home”? It’s a foul Tuesday night at Wembley, I’d love to be going home in that scenario

 

[albionalba]

Gutted for Dunk. As others have said, not the only failing for that goal. And you do wonder about his mental attitude / big occasion thing too.

 

[METALMICKY]

Dunk will get blamed for that goal, however from a coaching point of view I'd be disappointed with the recovery runs from the forwards/midfield having lost possession that then allowed Tielemans an unchallenged run to the back post.

Let's not scratch around to somehow get Dunk off the hook. That's really poor and just so deja vu

 

[WATFORD zero]

I'm sure that going into a completely different formation is hard after the very precise coaching of RDZ (as we saw with Caicedo), but if that's the end of Lewis's England 'career' he can still be trusted to come back as the Albion's GOAT and take us to the end of what is likely to be our greatest ever season

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Yep. And when Dunk misplaced a pass earlier in the game Rice was shouting and indicating to him to calm down. It’s not just that Lukaku error - his passing has been woeful.

Longer passing “yes”, but do you not think that was an instruction to go longer now and again? He just overhit them, there was enough space to p,at the ball and given our pace it was the right option.

He's on the beach with Ben White this summer
