Sterling or even Saka through the middle to give us some movement. Fuck knows who Grealish is expected to pick out.

redkeith Posted 29 June, 2021 Share Posted 29 June, 2021 Game of 3 chances, and England took both of theirs. Not sure what the commentators saw in Saka, he won an early free kick and did nothing after that. What is going on in the Bundesliga when there only CF is Werner ?

Jimmy_D Posted 29 June, 2021 Share Posted 29 June, 2021 Not the prettiest football, not the most exciting to watch, but jeez was it effective. Can virtually count on your thumbs the number of decent chances Germany had, thanks to us nullifying them. With that just needed at least one of our chances to actually be finished, and it worked for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 29 June, 2021 Share Posted 29 June, 2021 As usual the pundits are going well over the top. We were ok but nothing special. Sterling very good. That said, we avoid Belgium/Italy/Spain until the final so we won’t need to be brilliant to get there. Real chance to grind out a trophy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 29 June, 2021 Share Posted 29 June, 2021 Luke Shaw was very good, both goals, especially Kane's, stemmed from his key involvement. We make 'em well down in Southampton. Chuffed that I am out Saturday night this weekend, although now I'm scrambling around for a table as I really didn't think we were going to get through! England beating Germany. It wasn't as good as the 5-1, one of the best games I've ever had the pleasure to watch, but still a great result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrone Posted 29 June, 2021 Share Posted 29 June, 2021 A fairly turgid game punctuated by one piece of real quality from England and a bit of a let off just after. Glad Kane got a goal, fingers crossed that sparks him up for the rest of the games. Also Pickford was decent, made a couple of smart saves and always seems to perform decently when I see him in an England shirt. Overall still not convinced about England, must get a bit more positive but there's no denying that beating the Germans is sweet even if this is not their best line up. Oh, and play Grealish from the start please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 29 June, 2021 Share Posted 29 June, 2021 (edited) Harry Maguire got names Uefa man of the match. Very well deserved, he was great and adds a different dimension pushing forward rather than just a defender. Absolutely spot on decision from Southgate to include him in the squad. Brilliant.

igsey Posted 29 June, 2021 Share Posted 29 June, 2021 We were much better second half, in the first it was noticeable that we had a very half-arsed press going on, with Rice and Phillips pressing their DMs without any of our CBs stepping up, allowing Havertz to get the ball time and time again. Midfield two were less aggressive in the second half and Stones noticeably stepping forward more to cover when they went AWOL. Can't very well sit here and complain about the performance when we've just dumped the bloody Germans out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
