Match Day Thread Euro 2016 Thread

Bit that annoyed me more than most things... dying seconds Hendo has the ball. There is no option but to punt it into the box because there is only ten seconds left. He passed it back to the CB and the referee blues the whistle. That couldn't be any more Liverpool Football Club

 

Vardy doesn't suit a team that dominates possession and plays against teams that stick 10 men behind the ball. Why his move to Arsenal would be suicidal for his personal goal tally.

Issue is, he prob shouldn't have played in any of these 3 group games, probably won't be useful in next game either, but against Germany / Spain / France etc, where we have none of the ball, he'd be perfect to hit them on the counter.

 

Not as bad as Rodgers.

-

Where were Skrtel's clumsy tackles and dodgy elbows today? He even saved his injury until late!

 

Allen was absolutely brilliant tonight. Worked his socks off. We're both through and I didn't think Wales would get out of the group.

 

"At some point we'll start scoring"

Yes Woy, when we've been eliminated and play Kazakhstan in a friendly!

 

It's ok lads...We have to play Germany tomorrow lol....

 

this is what pisses me off we have ended up going into the tournament and suddenly are trying to work out our best formation / team on the hoof its just ridiculous

 

I don't know why you guys weren't confident. You've got best player in the group in Bale and you more than held your own in qualifying. Group was nice and easy, Russia & Slovakia were nothing, and with top 3 going through in most groups, 1 win pretty much puts you through.

I thought we'd win the group, but I thought we'd win 2 and draw with you guys

 

We've just made it a bit trickier for you as you probably need a draw to guarantee a best 3rd place now as well... if we'd have won you might have got away with a small loss.

 

Steady on, now.

 

Bilic is proper class .

"When the opponent is defending with so many players, you need extra quality in the final third. Either on the wing to beat a player or player in the middle - one on one to do something special.

The English players, you dont have to be harsh on them but you dont praise them for this kind of display. Because you need from this kind of players, when there's no space, to make space. All that they were doing was one two one two one two one two. Nobody tried to beat his own player. And to do something special that is needed to break the opponent who is defending with 8 players."



And the fact is we have players who can do just that!!! The fault lies with Woy.

 

Don't I know it, you useless feckers....

 

Played for a draw just to piss you off.

 

You weren't relying on Roy and England to do something useful were ya

 

This is why I'd have taken Townsend. One player that can beat a man from standing start with bit of skill and movement, quick and offers width. With only 1 wide player, who has had a **** year, we're asking for trouble and so easy to defend against.

 

Just going to have to go beat ze germans now...just to be sure like

 

Good to see the best two teams top the group, onwards and upwards, and we are having Joe back at Swansea, he was magnificent tonight running the show in the midfield...........

 

France / Swiss - Win
England / Wales - Win
Spain/Crotia
Belgium/Italy
Portugal/Iceland

Can cash out now for £10 = £8 profit

 

At least we won't need two endure 2 days of permutations on who England play now.

France in qf at best and a tonking.

Last 16... could be Hungary. .. Iceland. .. or Portugal. . England look like only pens will get them through any of them.

 

Or Austria
