Netherlands v England - Wed 10th July, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Semi-Final

Nothing to do with him being a United player, but I just don't get the hype over Mainoo. On the positive side, he carries the ball forward and tries to pass forward. On the other hand, he has a languid running style (he's slow) and can get caught on the ball. His passing isn't great either, especially these chipped passes.

I guess you don't see I. Compare him.to Rice. Who do you prefer?

 

[SebastianBlue]

Mainoo has been better than Rice this tournament.

Low bar, to be fair.

 

[Blue and still suffering]

Bellingham thinks he's Ronaldo.

All about making himself look good.

I think it says a lot about the competition (TAA and Gallagher) that he looks the most promising one…

Fodens the standout comfortably but he doesn't get to shine without Mainoo playing almost as well just behind him.

A large problem had been the inability to play balls through the lines quickly into the likes of foden. He's a rag twat but he's a very big talent that can be acknowledged whilst he's on international duty.

He has been excellent along with Foden. England are so much better tonight.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Pickford has only hoofed it once. He’s going to be livid at HT

The Dutch press has been dire.

 

[city2]

Good performance from England so far, Phil playing his best game so far in his best position covering all the pitch.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Would leave the midfield exposed

More than playing a man down?

 

[TinFoilHat]

It’s like he’s said “Fuck Southgate ball, I’m going to just roam and point to where the ball needs to go.”

Wonder if he's had a phone call from Pep?

This is what he wants him to do and if Phil is giving Sir Gareth a big fuck you and making Bellingham looking like a spoilt brat for the benefit of the team I'm all for it.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Foden absolutely bossing it.. yet according to RedCafe Manoo is running the show. Granted he’s offering a great supporting role but there is one shining star on this pitch and it ain’t him.. sad bastards.. can’t even agree with the information there retinas feeding their brains.

What would you expect on a forum from their own player?
