Euro 2024

Luke Shaw on for Trippier

 

Should be a yellow for weghorst already

 

That was such a blatantly deliberate afters left on Stones by Weghorst there. Should be a yellow that.

 

Dutch look like they’re working harder to cut out the space and close down the player already this half.
No Kane (or anyone) in the middle again there for the Saka pull back.

 

Why was Kane nowhere bear the box?

 

We’ve switched off again. So many sideways and backwards passes

 

Van Dijk should have scored that. Dutch look dangerous from set pieces. Meanwhile we’ve reverted to clueless, slow, sideways passing.

 

It’s like we can only play when we concede

 

I was going to say the same. It’s also being reflected in how easy we are now losing possession.

 

Feels like the 2018 semi final and 2020 final being rerun a bit here...

Hope not.

 

I know he can come up with a moment of magic from nothing. But Bellingham has done nothing again. Difficult to take him off because of that, and because he’s a penalty taker. Should have been a sub.
This is starting to feel like the 10 minutes before the Swiss scored.

 

Very much so

 

RK was the last tactically astute manager we had and he has shut down the spaces in the middle. This is not like the previous times we failed to impose ourselves, the Dutch are effectively stifling us. Southgate now needs to to change things up. Not that l have much hope on that score.

 

**** offside. Can’t have been much in that.

 

Gareth is rolling the dice! About time.

 

First half we had space by the bucket load on the left and no left footed player.
Now Shaw’s on we can’t create the space for him.

 

Foden off... ffs.

Bellingham needs to go!

 

Good subs from Southgate

 

I'm not sure about Foden off, but can't complain too much given we always moan about him being inactive.

Glad to see Palmer on at least.

 

Makes sense to me.


If it goes to penalties, this is the better way round
