The Euros Thread

Italy getting into little pockets of space in between midfield and defence....

 

This game reminds me of the defeat v Croatia in the World Cup semi, we lack any inspiration and just don't look to have the answer. Italy doing a job on us...

 

I was expecting our youth and energy to come shining through in the second half, but so far it has been the experience of the Italians on top.

 

Handball before equaliser..... what rule are we playing these days.....

 

Have England had a shot on target this half?

 

Is that a pitch invader? Craziness.

 

According to the BBC we’ve only had 3 all game.

I’m now thinking that extra time favours us, Italy have lost Chiesa and haven’t capitalised on their dominance this half. We are beginning to wake up a bit.

6 minutes. Come on let’s get it over with. Please.

 

6 added on.

 

? Didnt show it here, play stopped without explanation.

 

Their centre halves are playing in midfield & that shows how far we dropped back

 

Chiellini setting a bad example for the children there…..like Saka.

Extra time. Italy a different proposition second half. We still have the talent to win this, need to believe.

 

That pull back on Saka shows they are tiring. Bodes well for extra time. Terrible and blatant foul.

 

Never just sit back on a 1 goal lead. Not against a good team.

We need a real boost and a kick up the arse.

 

Almost total dominance for Italy 2nd half, though I thought we should have had a pen.

 

Extra time.....

Italy the better side 2nd half....

England need to get hold of the ball...not been able to counter attack as Italy look after the ball so well....

 

Bring Grealish on and go at them, we're sterile in midfield and Italy are too comfortable...

 

Craven nonsense from Southgate in the second half. Awful.

 

Get Grealish and Rashford on.

 

Is it just me but mount doesn't seem to have done alot since HT

 

Grealish coming on, at last.
