I'd rather see a young lad make an honest mistake while trying his best than an International acting like a shithouse, but hey ho.

Rico would have been eaten alive today.

No one is saying sell him, but it seems he is immune from criticism, a defender makes a mistake and it leads to a goal they are slaughtered and it is deemed their job, de bruyne lost out to a challenge that led to the winner, again its all on the defenders, one person slating akanji said it is his job to win headers so akanjo gets slated, I point out its haalands job to score goals and he didn't today, but no blame on him, a the blame seeks to fall on the defenders

It’s not a case of blame but nobody can argue that Haaland was good today. He was dog shit. Let’s hope it was a fitness thing..

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Not much of a break for 16 of them Why is philips going?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Statistics and football should never be mentioned in the same breath, let the stats stay with cricket and the sh1t Yank sports.

Can you send Pep that email? ta

 

[paulchapo]

Toney was excellent today. Fantastic movement. Fuck site better than our number nine today. That’s just a fact.

We can't knock Haaland's goal scoring record but he has areas he can improve on days like today. He needs to improve his physicality and heading ability. When he's well shackled he has to start disrupting defences and opening space up for others.

 

[paulchapo]

I could be wrong but I thought Pep hauled Cancelo off for that ridiculous dive.

Well it ultimately cost is.

 

[chaddblue]

Hope they all enjoy their time in the sun,playing for their beloved countries,fucking wank the lot of them today

All I want from the WC is for England, Portugal and Spain to crash out on the group phase in humiliating fashion

Want our players back early, fit, not burnt out and angry

you could blame him if he missed chances and good chances....but he had zero service today. corsses were appaling, no through balls - he basically wasnt even feeding on scraps...he got nothing....

He had two players marking him in the area every time and the other players around him failed to take advantage of that.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Dismal performance, worst of the season in terms of a collective display.

Ederson and Bern aside, everyone else was way below the level.

No arguments on result but the refs/VAR yet again absolutely disgraceful.

Cancelo dive embarrassing although he wasn’t getting a shot off imo anyway as someone was getting across but doesn’t change fact it’s pitiful.

Gundo v slow, Akanji clearly had his head at the WC.

Haaland very frustrated with his teammates and who can blame him.

Bad result, awful performance. Pressure on when we get back.

 

[bert38]

Just got home. We were dogshit from start to finish.

Slow, narrow, unbalanaced, shite passing, no movement, nothing..

ps Hasn't Dias played up against Toney in the games before? Second half I'm not sure we even tried to defend against him.
