Chalkboy Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Seconds to go you'd think we'd pack the box and launch it, but no....strolling up the pitch.
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 So we pay Woy 4m a year and he has available some of the highest paid players on earth and yet again England struggle in a very moderate group Meanwhile Wales pay Colrman less than 200k and have a team of lower lever premier players mixed with solid Championship performers with exception of Bale and Ramsey and they win the Group easily scoring 6 goals to England's 3 Says it all really Yep. Pay more peanuts and you get bigger monkeys.
Saint Billy Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Uuuuuuuuuuugh, that was like Chinese torture. To be fair though, the tournament as a whole has been very Park the Bus.
adrian lord Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Taking Adam off was a big mistake we really died after that
Ziggy Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Get in Wales! What a brilliant team performance! Can't believe we've qualified!!
sfc1976 Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Should have started Milner, he'd of opened them up.
Batman Posted 20 June, 2016 Author Posted 20 June, 2016 anyone else think that Roy still does not know his best 11?
Chalkboy Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Taking Adam off was a big mistake we really died after that Was a strange one for me. Henderson should have been hauled off.
angelman Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Why is anyone surprised? Hodgson sucked any flair out of the team in Brazil, and we had a qualifying group that even Pompey could have got through. That papered over the cracks and now we have been exposed as being the very average team that we are. If Hodgson gets a contract extension I guess I'll be ****ed off, but really, I haven't found England worth watching for 20 years now.
whelk Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 #eng won only 4 major tournament matches in 10 years. Slovenia, Ukraine, Sweden, Wales. 4 wins from 15.
Graffito Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 We know from watching Saints these last few seasons that it's so so difficult to break teams down when they sit back with no intent to get forward. Frustrating, but we're likely to be playing a not great team in the next round so all to play for. Btw, the ref was a fascist pussy. Totally gratuitous and pointless comment but I don't give a fck.
adrian lord Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 It really underlines just how magical the summer of euro 96 was
Batman Posted 20 June, 2016 Author Posted 20 June, 2016 Roy rotating 6 players when we had not even qualified LoL

TBF I think it's pretty likely we'll end up playing Portugal.
explorer saint Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Full backs did ok midfield was ****e all of them
Plastic Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Roy rotating 6 players when we had not even qualified LoL That your 3rd post in a row with 'Lol' in it. Think you need a lie down mate.
Mr Biscuits Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 And that, Ladies and Gentlespoons is why England are not going to go much further in the Euro's this year. We drew the game because of our inability to finish. Not because of good defending by Slovakia. Not good enough.
Batman Posted 20 June, 2016 Author Posted 20 June, 2016 That your 3rd post in a row with 'Lol' in it. Think you need a lie down mate. Apart from it wasn't

We drew the game because of our inability to finish. Not because of good defending by Slovakia. Not good enough. I wouldn't really say it's our inability to finish, more the fact that we simply didn't create enough clear-cut chances for some of the most prolific players in the PL. Formations, tactics is all the blame. Too pedestrian and rigid.
Plastic Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Apart from it wasn't Sorry, my mistake. It was 4 lols in your last 5 posts.
Saint Benali Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Like most people said Wilshere should not have been picked. To win only one game in that group is poor. Rooney was gash again too.
Chalkboy Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Domination.Domination. Dominating. Dominating. Means F all if you can't score Roy.
Graffito Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 TBF I think it's pretty likely we'll end up playing Portugal. Portugal are nothing special. We're good enough to beat them.
John Boy Saint Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Too narrow banging on the same door over and over again, pull em about open up the spaces......... Bertie must have written all his postcards to send home out on the left.
buctootim Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Domination.Domination. Dominating. Dominating. Means F all if you can't score You still talking about football? That performance was enough. England havent been great but then none of the big countries have been. Hopefully they'll come alive in the group stages.
adrian lord Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Roy going on about us creating lots of chances-he is plain wrong we didn't create hardly any at all in that game
Saint IQ Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 No one could finish tonight, no one. They nearly all had a go bar Hart and Bertrand.
Cabrone Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Slovakia parked the bus and asked the question, England didn't have much of an answer. We snatched a few chances but never really created anything good. Final ball wasn't particularly great. Against a team like Slovakia you either need to attack at pace and pull them out of position or you need to do something clever, fast 1-2's or beating players in 1 on 1 situations and creating space, England couldn't do this. Frustrating but that's England for you.
Chris27687 Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Domination.Domination. Dominating. Dominating. Means F all if you can't score Roy. They had 3/4 goal line clearances. We all jump on the bus and laugh at Barca when they lose to to some Spain team after having 40 attempts - but at the end of the day we all want to be barca. This is the best England team ever and can easily win this tournament - the teams we are going to play next are actually going to have a go, which plays into the famous Colombian James Vardeeees hands.
Saint IQ Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Sturridge didn't do what he was supposed to ie finish chances that could of been one of the great England goals before he went off that volley from a Pirloesque pass from Dier. Barely even got contact on it, awful. Rooney was very frustrating when he came on aswell, lost the ball so much, never looked to pass early enough.
SO16_Saint Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Portugal are nothing special. We're good enough to beat them. Said nobody ever
stknowle Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Boring tournament featuring loads of tedious defensive performances. Can see more of the same in the knockouts as the lesser nations try to hold out for 120 minutes and have a crack at the pens (and no doubt succeed if they happen to be playing us).
Mr Biscuits Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Do people seriously think England are good enough to progress based on what we've seen so far? Wow.
Graffito Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Said nobody ever Wtf kind b@llocks comment is that? what's your point? You think they're good? You think they're not good? If they are better than England, then how? Explain.
CB Fry Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 They had 3/4 goal line clearances.

This is the best England team ever and can easily win this tournament - the teams we are going to play next are actually going to have a go, which plays into the famous Colombian James Vardeeees hands. Our sh ite defence hasn't been tested yet. All we do know is if we go one down against a proper team we've got pretty much no chance of getting back in it.
Saint_Tony Posted 20 June, 2016 Posted 20 June, 2016 Can't see us drawing Portugal. They will probably top the group if they win, or come 3rd if they don't. I think it will almost certainly be Hungary. They'll have their tactics sorted though, frustrate us and play for penalties. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
PhilippineSaint Posted 21 June, 2016 Posted 21 June, 2016 Portugal are nothing special. We're good enough to beat them. Were not good enought to beat Slovakia or Russia FFS why would we be more likely to beat Portugal?
niceandfriendly Posted 21 June, 2016 Posted 21 June, 2016 Get in Wales! What a brilliant team performance! Can't believe we've qualified!! Wales were always going to qualify from that group. The shocker is England have qualified. What an appalling team the English have, my gosh.
niceandfriendly Posted 21 June, 2016 Posted 21 June, 2016 This is the best England team ever and can easily win this tournament Holy. Mother. Of. Christ.
jawillwill Posted 21 June, 2016 Posted 21 June, 2016 Were not good enought to beat Slovakia or Russia FFS why would we be more likely to beat Portugal? Portugal couldn't beat Iceland. Everyone needs to stop being fannies. Yes, we probably won't win the tournament buy Roy is right- we have dominated all 3 games we've played so far but just struggled to break defensive teams down. I find it highly unlikely that Portugal will have that mindset, especially given Ronaldo's comments after the Iceland game. I have very little doubt that England will make at least the last 8.
notnowcato Posted 21 June, 2016 Posted 21 June, 2016 I wish Lallana would just pass it in rather than using either of his swingers! Forget power Adam, you just don't have it, time the effing thing in.
doddisalegend Posted 21 June, 2016 Posted 21 June, 2016 Does anybody else think crossing the ball is a dying art? In all the games I've watched in this tournament the ability to put crosses onto this box has be woeful. Either they don't beat the first defender or the sail right over everyone and out of play on the other side. When someone does occasionally put a good cross in no one from their team seems to make the effort to get on the end of it.
mrfahaji Posted 21 June, 2016 Posted 21 June, 2016 Holy. Mother. Of. Christ. Lol, can only assume his first tournament was Euro 2012... Although the username would suggest it wasn't!

When someone does occasionally put a good cross in no one from their team seems to make the effort to get on the end of it. To an extent. Slovakia were eating up those floated balls into the box all day. Even when we had the centre backs forward, did England EVER win a header in their penalty area? With Vardy and Sturridge on, the crosses should have been from getting to the byline and whipping it across the face of goal. Clyne was getting in behind a decent amount, and then we changed shape, took Lallana off, and basically halted that tactic altogether...
eelpie Posted 21 June, 2016 Posted 21 June, 2016 Well, at least we're not likely to have to face Wales again
ashnats Posted 21 June, 2016 Posted 21 June, 2016 This is the best England team ever wha...? bu..but... I mean.... whhatabout... ever? I don't... huh? ever? how...
