[Football] Euros 2024 - Matchday 12 (Netherlands vs Austria, France vs Poland, England vs Slovenia & Denmark vs Serbia)

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Gallagher has made some terrible passing decisions, under zero prrssure, all through the fast half.

In fairness, he is up against the mighty Slovenia*


*Who are ranked 57 in the world, one place behind Saudi Arabia.

They don't really have the players for it but it's notable just how much braver the Slovenians are in possession than us.

Out of possession they relax with cigars out in two banks of four, perhaps taking it turns for a midfielder to chase.

Whilst we hunt in packs in a poor man’s press.

 

[WhingForPresident]

The worst half we've played in this tournament, and that takes some doing. f***ing dogshit.

 

[pasty]

Gallagher does have some uses. First part of my bet builder to come in: Player to commit 2+ fouls

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Watching in Sweden. Interesting to get a neutral perspective. Just said that Slovenia always have an option on the pitch. England don’t.

 

[HangletonGull]

Really missing kelvin phillips imo

 

[ManOfSussex]

I hope Southgate doesn't bring on Gordon or Palmer - last thing we need is players who could do something.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Boooooooooo

 

[Shooting Star]

Couple of observations, perhaps unpopular ones.

I think we really miss Raheem Sterling's role for England. I remember those golden years between 2018-2021 where he used to stretch defences and could be an option for a really long ball. He and Kane had good chemistry. We don't have that now. I think we miss his role as much, if not more, than Phillips' role at his peak.

Also, Rice has massively disappointed me all three games. He's not commanding the middle of the park like he should. Game is passing him by far too often.

 

[Flounce]

There are no tactics are there? This is just 11 geezers playing football

 

[del strangefish]

Yawnpocalypse!

 

[KZNSeagull]

 

[ozzygull]

Booooooooo

 

[Ethelwulf]

Lots of boos

 

[Javeaseagull]

I am literally laughing at this. England are so poor it's neanderthal. I really hope Lewis stays out of this shitshow.

 

[Rogero]

Rubbish!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

How did this **** keep the job.
