He's devastated.

Why after we equalised didn't we go for it and go to win it. Instead we scored and reverted to sitting back once again, it does my head in

@pfim ^ the problem with Kane.

I agree with all of that. There’s a man whose job it is to figure it out.

 

[witchdoc187]

He’s not.

Agreed. He was.

 

[witchdoc187]

Ronaldo held Portugal back. Kane held us back. It's very simple. Both brilliant strikers, both do not suit their teams whatsoever.

And past their best

Give me the job. I'll win it.

You said I was 100% wrong and Ruiz was deeper than Zubimendi yet Zubimendi was even deeper than Rodri let aloen Ruiz

So what you’re telling me is they took Rodri off and his replacement did the same thing but the team was way better? And this is a defense of Rodri being awesome?

Word.

Turns out I was giving him too much credit.

Erm, no.

Just because the tactical adjustment worked immediately doesn’t mean it didn’t work!

Zubimenda plays, and played, exactly the same way Rodri does?

100% wrong, Ruiz dropped deeper

Played exactly the same position and role as Rodri.

Chump.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Oh lord.

 

[PITA]

Ok I apologise and in knowing the 2nd part I would suggest Southgate shouldn’t be playing him so in response to your point then it is Southgate’s fault.

But I did mean that Southgate isn’t instructing him to play that way…

I'm just saying that Southgate needs to manage. It's just the same as Portugal's manager needed to say to Ronaldo 'I'm the manager, get on the bench and, maybe, later on we'll bring you on and see what you can do'.

 

[witchdoc187]

Honestly believe Southgate wanted to play for a draw here and it showed. Wouldn't have mattered who the striker is in most games imo, especially this one for that same reason.

Disagree personally. No urgency or energy from kane. Don't think he even challenged for a header. Watkins brought some energy and desire. Admittedly he may have only been able to keep that up for the limited minutes he was on the pitch. But kane defo my boo boy

You’d have to figure out the midfield as well.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Erm, no.

Chump.

Yeah so you’re right, I was wrong, and Rodri is even more fraudulent than I thought originally because his backup can do his job better than him.

 

[Nymzee]

You’d have to figure out the midfield as well.

First thing I'd do is never, ever pick Conor Gallagher.

 

[Nymzee]

Yeah so you’re right, I was wrong

Cheers, took you long enough.
