We would have mullered both of these sides. If they tried to play like this against us, p1ssing about with it in their own half, we would have split them into fractions.
I’m almost disappointed we scored to say it wasn’t deserved is an understatement. Both Centre halves involved no strikers any capacity at all
Is it Red Rain that preaches this style of football? ******* hell, its awful! Much rather watch Big Val and our direct style to this crap!
No, I’m sure that happens to every international team at some point. That’s how Arsenal & Italian teams played in the early 90s. It was a waste of entertainment then & is now. at least the Reds are never boring. Apart from the Brum & Derby games. They weren’t all that.
England play zombie football. It does make you crave for the big hoof. Anyway, Barnsley players past and present wrote the story of that game by giving away both goals and scoring the winner. (Maguire's a bit obscure in that summation, agreed)
So our attacking prowess or lack of played no part at all ? I was more concerned about the lack of an attempt on the Polish goal tbh , after all that’s all the pre match hype focused on . But hey ho they were ineffective so let’s round on a players one mistake even though countless possession by our forward line was so easily surrendered and to the point when an England player finally got in a position to make a cross he had to double back as there wasn’t a colleague within thirty yards of the Polish goal .
As I said, England played zombie football. And the match was decided by 2 mistakes and a set piece. Are you supposed to be answering my post?
Imo we are a 3rd tier nation at best, I didn't watch it so can't make a judgement on the performance, its got to a stage with me and England that I don't care if we win or lose ( of course I want us to win btw) but equally I don't get pi55ed off if we lose at all, its all a bit meh.
I enjoyed England's last world Cup but I've a feeling the Euros won't be as enjoyable. Boring against Albania and boring again tonight, despite 5 goals.
In all 3 recent games we've won, but we've demonstrated nothing more than an ability to qualify for tournaments that we will inevitably get meekly elbowed out of when it gets to the business end.
