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

Pickford should have saved it really

Bellingham was shit at defending that.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

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.

Rice is class and if you watch him for West Ham very technical

 

[dadnlad]

Rice is the only one driving us forward from the back when he wins the ball, Henderson passes backward/ sidewards every time.

Shouts alot though

 

[daveiw01]

Officials have been awful. Doesn’t mean England deserve to win.

France look more slick but not a lot in it. They are organised but not awe inspiring If we had a Modric we could win

Wouldn't get in the team, we have Hendo, remember?

 

[SebastianBlue]

True but he can't just sit back and wait for the ball. He needs to move across the front line, I think he has been given a free role but has decided to play it safe today. He should be a nuisance out there.

He has quite a few times and has been largely ignored.

And he is definitely not in a free role. Kane is the one in a free role, which forces Phil to play mostly in the left wing zone.

 

[hertsblue]

Rice and Henderson are not good enough at this level, both offer nothing.
Back 4, Phillips and Bellingham in CM. Jack and Rashford on wings to run at them and Kane in the middle where a striker should be. Phil with a free role to roam. Take the game to them

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

Morocco must be shitting themselves.

 

[bluke]

The funniest thing is West Ham probably value Rice at 60-80 milion quid while he's an English equivalent of Javi Garcia.

 

[paulchapo]

We waste too much time passing it about by the centre spot. Keeping posse's is fine when we're level but we need to score.

 

[Chi-town blues]

England showing no urgency and looks like french wants this more . Players lack motivation and can’t fault them when you have a manger who looks like a medieval man keen on reading children’s book .
