I can’t remember the game I watched him in (top club game) and he was not strong defensively. Yes, all that other stuff you mention is good, but defensively he needs to improve. Did he play in one of the World Cup games? I have a feeling he was poor defensively in that too.
Yes, but a Spain win would have settled it. We now have a chance. I like this competition because it is competitive, but missing out won't make us tear our hair out.
It's interesting to see how it unfolds and am finding the bottom division interesting with all the minnows playing each other. Early days and think we need to see the whole thing play out before coming to a proper judgement but I like it.
Yup. Liverpool fan I watched the game with last night said exactly this. They love him, but a lot of work to do on the defensive aspects of his game.
Didn't watch the game last night, was TAA against Pulisic? That kid is going to the very top, usually plays on the right though
But even better, the aptly named Kevin Lasagna played for Italy. It appears that all Italian strikers are suffering from goal-droughtitis.
David McNamara, the “rock, paper, scissors” ref is to appeal against his 3 week ban. Apparently scores of other refs have been using the method in support. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46250404 What about you, @tomw24 ? I know you disagreed with the ban.
This story is what’s wrong with the modern world. Kids getting shot up in schools, people getting stabbed to death daily, war on terror... things that actually matter and have meaning. And they try and ban him from doing his job for 3 weeks because he forgot a coin to start a game with F*ck of will you! Joke.
In this opening 10 minutes Sterling has shown why he could be one of the very best players in the world. And why he probably won’t be. England look good going forward and should have scored three.
At least England have some character again and are playing to our strengths. We are enjoyable to watch. Fabian Delph has been superb. We look a little vulnerable in wide areas when defending.
Yeah. I had forgotten what fast attacking football looked like. I’m worried about conceding on the break now and losing 1-0, but then I support the Saints.
Can see us winning easily or losing to a single breakaway goal. However, I don't care even if we lose, because we are entertaining. Almost forgot what that was like.
