Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

[Cityfan]

Soon as England play a well organised team with actual tactics and half decent players. They're fucked.

Entire management needs an overhaul. Pep or Klipperty would have this England squad winning everything.

Germany and Denmark are both decent teams, throughout the tournament Italy were the best and England took them to penalties.
It wasn't a great performance today and I thought Southgate could have used his substitutions better but France have better players than we do and Spain Italy Portugal Germany and Belgium are pretty similar.
Overall a decent tournament for Southgate.

Disppointed players like Grealish & Sterling go hiding and let a couple of kids face the wrap for missing penalties , Saka should never have been put in that position , diabolical management.

Despite all the media propaganda Saka was shit. The pen was the icing on the cake.

Has anyone seen an interview with the winning manager yet?

Nope. He's too busy getting his 17 inch dick smoked by his absolute babe of a missus, whilst Chilleni racks up the lines on the side of the team bath.

Allegedly.

not really but clearly the best that scotland & their fans can do

Didums you a wee bit touchy when you have been hummped as often as Scotland youll get to be a bit calmer lol

Playing in Qatar, even playing it in December is going to be brutal and as team England don't look that clever in keeping the ball. Its going to be a long tournament for them.

I forgot it’s being played there.
I guess I’ll be taking another break from football then.

Shocking.a manager wasting this abundance of talent .

you are to blame Southgate 100%

we are 1 up and you literally wanted to bring on more defenders all game, we had no out ball all game

kane , mount and sterling shocking all game you did nothing to change it

trying to defend a 1 nil lead from 3 minutes .

bringing on 2 specialist penalty takers at the end both of who missed the pens.

allowing a kid to take the crucial penalty when grealish, Henderson and sterling still on the pitch .

conference manager in a suit.

Henderson?

This so so true

Should have brought Grealish on 10 to 15 mins before Italy scored, needed someone to hold on to the ball

Shouldn’t have taken Rice off, he was excellent

Shouldn’t have brought on Henderson, he was garbage

Shouldn’t have taken off Trippier

Shouldn’t have brought on Sakka

Unlike Mancini no ability to change the game when things weren’t going well, no tactical awareness

Stupid having 2 pen takers who’d not had a kick

Daft letting Sakka take a pen, particularly the 5th one, he looked petrified

Otherwise I think Gareth got everything pretty spot on

Sick to death of hearing what a great manager he is cos he fucking isn’t

Another chapter of FA appointed yes men who look good in waistcoats and say the right things when interviewed but ultimately underachieve because they are tactically inept!
Its been going on for decades but the difference this time was all the ammunition was there and primed but the manager had a blunderbus loaded with custard!
Apparently Kane had less than 5 touches in the box, he was coming short and did a decent job but that should have been midfields job with Kane 30yds further forward.
2 subs subbed in last 2 games?? WTF??
We won’t win anything with waistcoat but we’re being brainwashed in to thinking we will!
Kings new clothes, see thru the bullshit…nah nothing will change!

Nobody, but then I’m not throwing clueless comments around at a manager who got us to a major final and was one kick away and a save from winning it. He’s not the first manager to do that.

Sorry but can’t agree. His management of the final is - at best - baffling. No creativity, unable to make subs at right time - or to pick the right sub. In 2 consecutive games he’s had to sub a sub. People trying to make out that that was good game management - it’s not, it’s indecisive & clueless. To put Sancho on for pens when he hadn’t played many minutes all tournament was ridiculous. Calvert Lewin would have been more sensible if the sub was purely to take a penalty
