East Kent Saint Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 When a defender barges into the back of an attacker (Saka tonight)then shoves them to the ground with both hands , it's being described as good strong defending by the commentator ! This has occurred in 3 matches so far . To me it looks like an obvious foul . Have the rules changed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Can't say that I thought we were much better than any of the top teams that we've seen so far. Decent, but no more than Germany, Italy, Spain and the likes have shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put Saka as excellent as well, probably our best attacking outlet. Guehi the best defender. As the first half came to a close the gaps were being shown in CM, Rice having to do two mens work in there really. Need a proper CM in there next to him to get some real control in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Bellingham a class apart. Saka causing them all sorts of issues. Kane hardly in it, but taking up all the attention of one of their defenders, moving opponents out of the way. Few chances. Solid, apart from a Trent misplaced pass. As they push forward at some point, Southgate will be looking to exploit the space. Tators fawned a bit over Trent at one point. He's not the specialist in midfield you'd ideally want. But no one has been poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
