Italy v England | Euro 2020 Final

Then he needs to up his game considerably. And, I'll be honest with you here, having him taught to goalkeep by the fat Spanish waiter is not filling me with confidence it can happen!!

Don’t know how you can possibly point fingers at Pickford. Did very little wrong throughout the whole tournament.

 

[lazerblue]

he's a shithouse, got some great creative players at his disposal but starts with 5 defenders and 2 holding midfielders, gets a goal after a minute then he's like a rabbit in the headlights, fuckin clueless, baffling subs and the choice of penalty takers baffling yet he'll get his arse licked in the media.
ffs this competition was rigged for us to win and he failed miserably

Saka's instragram filled with racist bile and this - welcome to England 2021 - everyone still proud?

Luckily the fa have at least 3 million new managers on here, twitter etc to pick from. No one let us down and we slightly over achieved.

Poor team selection
Poor substitutions
Poor game management
Poor timing on the substitutions
Poor tactics
Poor penalty preparation

ANY coach will tell you they want players who WANT to take a penalty. So, Rashford & Sancho obviously wanted to take one. If he was going to do that, why didn’t he bring them on earlier, and take off Sterling and Grealish, if they were not on the list?!

It boggles the mind. Team is together for a month, should be taking pens every day. Players know if they’re hot or not and help you make a decision, BUT it has to be a game time decision.

Shit my pants when I saw Maguire going second, but one no nonsense wallop later, he had broken the camera in the top corner of the goal!

From there, what can you say?

I hope this is the end of all the ducking stupid “stutter step, jump, triple salko, shoot” penalties!

It’s a 12 yard strong, positive pass into the goal. If you can’t do it, you should tell your Boss you can’t do it! If you can, you tell him you can, and would welcome the opportunity!

Then, when the time comes, simply do a 5-10 yd run up and “positive pass” it into the place you’d previously decided, goalie notwithstanding!

It’s not a new thing, but a bit of Wellie on a penalty often helps it get across the line!

Spot on pal!
A 12 yard pass (with pace) a foot inside either post.
Or to be more exotic, hit it fucking hard straight down the middle 3-4ft off the deck.

If it was a lottery we forgot to buy the tickets.

We did make the final though imagine how the French,German's Belgian's and Portuguese feel. I think tonight we should have give it our best shot, alas we don't get to many finals so bit inexperienced.

The click bait would of been off the scale if they had got us through.
Back fired enormously

Yes. I can understand Southgate decision though. Easy to choose United players who are specialists at pens given how much experience and practice they have. He must be pissed off that they failed.

 

[west didsblue]

Some absolute cunts who follow the national team. Shameful.

Rashford’s mural in Withington already been defaced with some disgusting comments. Scum.

 

[IH8MUFC]

OK but fuck me his game management was atrocious as were his subs.

I agree.

 

[burning blue soul]

Just so you are aware.... beardy Gaz didn't watch the penalties. He looked away.
THATS the fucking national manager, not a 19 year old girl who's had a wine spritzer too many, btw!!!
What kind of message does that project? Ffs!!!
