England v France - Sat 10th Dec, 19:00 | Quarter-final | World Cup 2022

[grim up north]

I don't think we've been THAT bad.

We're being beaten by the opposition executing their game plan well and a shite ref!

The ref isn’t passing the ball

 

[theres only one carlito]

First half analysis
France holding the ball well and more relaxed with it . It wasn’t a foul on Saka and Kane went down far too easy for it to be a penalty and the ref is getting pissed of with him aswell . England not out of this game but France don’t like the they cone out of first gear .

Penalty all day mate, France ain’t all that. We just got to have more belief going forward.
And decline rice needs to fukin move to receive a pass

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Awful refereeing and at least three of our players miles off the pace.

Rice, Bellinghman and Saka to come off, chuck on Rashford, Jack and Madison. Go the fuck for it. Worst case is we lose, and we're already losing.

And move the fucking ball quicker, this French side is very good, but we will never have a better chance of winning the World Cup than we do now.

Jack for rice would be a shout and move that scouse lump deeper

 

[Gogootz]

Really don’t get the hype over Saka

Agree he's btec Raz

 

[Pedestrian]

BBC always light years ahead

Seriously? If the bbc was 5yrs ahead of anything it would still be sat waiting for the big bang in 40yrs time.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Zero creativity in the middle.

Henderson doesn’t have the legs

Rice is a trier, no outstanding qualities

Bellingham still a bit inexperienced, but at least he’s moving into spaces and trying to make things happen.

Foden is wasted in this England team, none of them are on his wavelength

 

[Gray]

They are a better team than England, but we are still in the game.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Henderson and Rice are abysmal.

The least technical midfield duo at the World Cup.

Saka having a nightmare on the right too.

Ref fucking us big time as well.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Not really sure what the England game plan is. I think France are there for the taking but we are not putting them under enough pressure.

It's mental that often it ends up with Maguire trying to play the long pass when he is the least technically competent to play that kind of pass.

His long passes have been fucking awful. Times there's been acres of spac for the player and he can't get it right.

 

[west didsblue]

Has he been effective so far? You tell me

When he’s had the ball he’s not once given it away and has made some decent passes. He’s too isolated though presumably because he’s following waistcoat’s instructions.
