Well Gareth reckons we played well? I suppose it was marginally better than previously but given the players we have on the pitch it’s criminal how slow it is. Every player wants to stop with the ball, there’s just no rhythm, no tempo just slow and ponderous. To be fair it seems to be the norm because Switzerland were even slower than us and even France and Portugal were similar last night. I don’t have a problem with playing the ball out but just move it about quicker and drive at defenders which surely we have the skill to do? I suppose we just have to accept that’s the current fashion and we have to accept it but I still miss the old up and at em of yesteryear. ☹️

Sterling at his best gave us pace up front and hasn't been replaced, while Kane has always been mostly a snapper up of chances. Once again Southgate was extremely slow to make substitutions. I thought Konsa was good, and probably better than Ghuehi in defence. Good still to be interested, though.

I thought Konsa was good, and probably better than Ghuehi in defence. Good still to be interested, though. Exactly Kenglo, different system and mindset though. In terms of substitutions, just like with Evatt they’re all just like for like never trying to change or adapt what’s failing with the system. I do agree on Konsa, he was excellent and far better that Ghuehi who I can’t see what the loves all about. In fact moving to a back 3 was infinitely better than the usual set up allowing Saka to get further forward, it’s just a pity we don’t have a similar threat down the left with Trippier. Still we’re now in the semis and with Holland using pretty much the same system as us it will probably be another low scoring borefest ending up on penalties as we both stifle each other? ☹️

We’ll have to get past the Dutchy on the left hand side to get beaten off Spain…
They are excellent (beatable) but excellent

Good afternoon guys long time no see, hope everyone’s all good.. I’m out of the rat race and enjoying countryside living north of the border now, but I’ll still be getting to plenty of home games! 2-0 to England tonight, hopefully take the shackles off and show what we’re about !! No doubt we’ve been the worst team at this years euros, every England game had been a total borefest

The real winners should be the team that’s won 6 games on the trot and scored a massive 13 goals to get to the final, but as we all know, football doesn’t work like that COYE 🏴🏴🏴🏴

No doubt we’ve been the worst team at this years euros, every England game had been a total borefest Hi BTID great to hear from you again. Pleased to hear you’ve moved up to the land of my fathers aka the Dunfermline area. I lived in Gretna for a while and loved it up there, all along the Solway estuary so which part of Caledonia have you escaped to? I’m not expecting much difference in either performance or result tonight and think we’ll squeeze through either by the odd goal or penalties. To be fair though it’s not just been England who’ve been poor I think it’s been a poor tournament all round with Spain probably being the only decent team so far. That doesn’t though always mean they’ll win it and you could just see England scraping through again if they can get past the Dutch tonight. As regularly happens we could always drag the Spaniards down to our level? 😁
