Serbia v England - Sun 16th June, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Group C

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

He was the stand out player on the pitch. Seems an utter bell but he is some footballer. So good he’s got much more to his game than Phil

That's what most would never acknowledge, he can put in a perfect shift in 3 positions across the midfield. Solid player. Perfect analysis from Fabregas

 

[heslops barnet]

Why? If he was that poor surely he’d have been carted? He played the full 90.

“Well I gave Phil 90 minutes but it didn’t work”……Waistcoat

Should it have been a struggle really ?

The result will be talked up and Yes the win is all that matters, But Questions that this high-quality squad struggles to kill a game off is down the manager, Southgate is not good enough at this level, You only have to watch our goalkeeper kick the shit out of the ball every time we pass it back to him, That is down to Southgate and his tactics.

The goalkeepers now control the game, it's why in 2nd half we could not get a grip of the game, We were just giving the ball back to them from our keeper,

We will be very lucky to get to the quarter-finals because of the lack of control in the games, You keep giving the ball back to them from the keeper then teams Like Spain France Germany Italy will kill you.

He did fuck all after the first 45.

England were shite but the 20 year old kid was our best player by far

 

[TCM]

Oh do fuck off. I hope he never plays for the useless **** (Southgate) again so we don’t have to listen to the likes of you chatting absolute shite.

He never got in the game and wasn’t the Foden we know but he literally give up making runs when it became clear nobody was capable of slipping balls into him when he made space.

That was an awful watch and not many come out with credit.

The fact that blues are getting on his case sums this place up.

I don't normally comment on other peoples posts, but my god you are a prick.

We are not like other rabid, delusional fans. Blues call it how it is.

 

[lust overlord]

You’re an embarrassment.

Harsh.

England played well for most of the 1st half.
Serbia were better in the 2nd.

That was the gist of what he said.
He didn't even give Southgate any over the top praise for a change.

 

[Atypical]

Typical Southgate. 1 nil up and defend.
Foden poor, Kane poor. Job done.

 

[CC1]

To be honest I don’t see much wrong with that. I love foden but he has never done it for England. He has to do more otherwise eze or Gordon deserve a chance

You really think Southgate plays to Foden’s strengths? He can’t see the game as well as Foden - never mind Pep - which means Foden is not getting any service. There are many players since Southgate has been in charge, that can’t “do it for England” & the common denominator is Southgate.

Sorry don’t get the Bellingham thing

He played well for 35 mins then got subbed off in 2nd half

Very good player but he’s not a team player. He was taking over every body’s position.

That's it. He's got the freedom, but it's bad when he's taking up other peoples spaces. Eze left, foden in for arnold for me in the next game but no chance.

His name is literally Phil1, give up on having a rational discussion with the lad.

 

[jimharri]

Really good first half
second half was poor - few players look tired and nervy and we gave away ball alot.

major positive that's not been mentioned is how well the back line did under pressure - that's a big plus going forward as that's the area i'm worried about the most.

Fair play to Serbia, they really upped their game and put us on the back foot.

Bellingham and Saka superb that first half, Rice broke up play well and credit to Pickford and the back 4.

Wasn't pretty but top of the group, 3 points, clean sheet and we'll be stronger as we progress. bring on the Danes.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Anyway, I’m sure we’ll all sleep well after that borefest.

Roll on the domestic season.

 

[RiversideBlue]

A win is a win. Not surprised by the performance. They'll never be as good as a team that train together as much as city do. The knowledge of each other's movement and understanding kust won't be there but hopefully rheyll grow into the tournament. The team that wins it never seems to be at their best at the start of the tournament..

Very good player but he’s not a team player. He was taking over every body’s position.

Reminds me of Pogba. Plenty of hype and ego with him.

 

[chris85mcfc]

I think Phil1 is pissed or just angry.

Well if he's managed to sit through the whole of that 90 minutes, then I'll assume its the former.

 

[vanchi]

Hanging on against Serbia who are ranked 33rd in the world standings, a single spot above Qatar. France, Spain, Germany, Portugal are all shitting their pants.

at least you won. but yeah that was beyond awful.

[Sky Blue]

Camel Gob to Fabregas about Bellingham: “Have you ever played with a better player who’s so good and confident at such a young age?”

Fabregas: “Er … Messi”

Brilliant.

Ha, I turned off before I heard the reply.

 

[chesterbells]

Always the way, because he spends the first half playing Roy of the rovers type stuff

Did the same against us in the champions league, and gets brought off in both legs

Foden helps control a game if you give him the ball, Bellingham is still naive enough to think running around a lot is the key to winning big games

Completely agree mate. 100%.

He’s also not as generous with his passing as the players around Foden at City are.
