Last 10 minutes he was telling them to slow it down for sure. In fact they started as if that was their instructions.maybe he was happy with the point seeing a draw next game gets us through!? It’s all about getting out the group
With better finishing we would have lost that gameLast 10 minutes he was telling them to slow it down for sure. In fact they started as if that was their instructions.

I'm up in Scotland and you'd think the buggers had just won the tournament rather than got a 0-0 draw.We should have lost that game

It was just as important to them that we didn't get 3 points,they really are that bitter.I'm up in Scotland and you'd think the buggers had just won the tournament rather than got a 0-0 draw.
The Brazilian commentary was gushing about him when he came on
What did they make of Billy Gilmour out of curiosity?

They way they were going on about Gilmour, I thought he was 13. Can you imagine the media if Foden had played so few first team games at his age!What did they make of Billy Gilmour out of curiosity?

The players aren't, the manager is. I can't believe a top manager couldn't get a tune out of England with the players at our disposal.We are second rate.

While I agree that he came into circumstances that gave him little to no room to make any impact with how negative the tactics were. He wasn't any different in the two friendly games before the tournament where he started and the team looked just as uninspiring so I'm not getting the excuses that he had little time. That's just his game, holding onto the ball longer than needed, inviting and drawing fouls by leaving his leg out, and when he actually gets through he often either lays it off or fail to pick out anyone.
For a team like villa that often plays on the counter and play built around him, he suits them perfectly as he gets enough space to utilise his best asset which is carrying the ball. Put in a side that often plays against 10 men camped around their own box that becomes almost pointless unless they are having to result in simply winning fouls. His passing/vision is not as good or better than any of bernardo, gundogan, mahrez, or foden so you are then left with a player who adds nothing much of value to the side that it doesn't already possess.
I don't even have much of a problem with him as a player as I've always said the talent is there, it's just the fawning over him that's become unbearable. Many seem to have convinced themselves he's what peak hazard was on the back of one really good season when the truth is he's nowhere near.

Really hope Kane and Grealish are just rumours. Grealish grinning before he came on as the cameras caught him on the screen, then delivered absolutely nothing when he came on. Need to steer well clear of him and Kane this summer.

Grealish can be good on his day. The City rumour is good because we can make his ability work in our interchanging squad. However there is a big question mark on his mentality. He's a boozer, and a party boy. Foden and Stones would be best steering clear of him in my opinionReally hope Kane and Grealish are just rumours.

England are definitely second rate but overhyped which raises the expectation. England has only one world class player in kane then some promising playersThe players aren't, the manager is. I can't believe a top manager couldn't get a tune out of England with the players at our disposal.

I agree with you completely though many wont......we have better than Grealsih in both foden and Bernardo Silva.Really hope Kane and Grealish are just rumours. Grealish grinning before he came on as the cameras caught him on the screen, then delivered absolutely nothing when he came on. Need to steer well clear of him and Kane this summer.
I just dotn see it with Grealish at all....yes he can hold onto the ball well but he constantly ends up on the floor (and once with us he wont get half those fouls). We have players who are just as creative if not more, can play possession football just as well if not better aswell....Hugely overrated and will be hugely overpriced as well.
Kane - never been a fan of him....goes missing in big games/vs big teams (as he is showing now).......no real pace or strength....not mobile so cant press, injury concerns as well.
Bellingham is the one to getI agree with you completely though many wont......we have better than Grealsih in both foden and Bernardo Silva.

Nonsense, you honestly believe if a top manager had the likes of, Foden, Walker, Stones, Kane,Grealish, Mount, Bellingham, Rice, Sancho, Sterling etc, at his disposal he couldn't get a system that plays to their strength's? Instead of the turgid defensive shite that Southgate plays, he's a fucking fraud who's never done anything in management.England are definitely second rate but overhyped which raises the expectation. England has only one world class player in kane then some promising players
What a load of shite. Half that teamEngland are definitely second rate but overhyped which raises the expectation. England has only one world class player in kane then some promising players
Last night started in the CL final, the pinnacle of club competition. You don’t play at that level unless you are top players.
Honestly, this forum is sounding more and more like the bewildered mumblings of a home for dementia sufferers.Really hope Kane and Grealish are just rumours.
