Round of 8 (AKA The Quarter-Finals)

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

I think we look much better. Far more energy and balance to the side.

 

[matty1878]

More like a 352 with Walker the 3rd centre back and Trippier pushed up. Foden drifting inside.

trippier? he’s a ghost

 

[matty1878]

and another go at Pickford. Does he realise he's told to play like that by Southgate because Kane is a good CF for those balls? youd think he would know that considering.

BBC have decided that all of Englands failings are down to Pickford

And like clockwork there's Shearer again about Pickford because the back line can't play a forward pass themselves.

it’s a joke innit!

Yep, fullback put it back to Pickford under pressure, so he had to just clear it. Kane didn’t even get off the ground. Shearer blames the keeper.

 

[Librarian]

Big Embolo putting himself about

 

[Obes]

Whatever we’re playing feels pointless with Trippier still on the left side.

 

[MrD]

it’s a joke innit!

Kinda feel sorry for the Lad, he gets nothing but abuse and blame for everything

 

[DuncanPatterson]

Embarassing to beg for that Harry

It's just pressure on the ref so that when there's another decision to make later in the game then the odds will be balanced in England's favour

 

[ToffeeTim]

Where is the striker

Dreadful Dreadful play by Kane

 

[maccavennie]

He's one bitter Geordie gobshite Shearer.

 

[daza_1973]

50p head

 

[Rita_Poon]

kane is one mobile chap.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Dangerous ball Saka. No one there though!

 

[DuncanPatterson]

England need Saka on the right

He's been by far their best player so far

 

[heatmeiser]

struggling to get excited over this. Easy route to the final and we’re playing like crabs.

Feels like when Benitez was mid season

I don't really get this. Are you expecting us to be 4 nil up already?

They've looked relatively comfortable against a very good side and are looking far more lively with this tweak in formation.
