Serbia v England - Sun 16th June, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Group C

[burning blue soul]

Foden has been in and out of the England team so much that maybe he doesn’t believe the manager has confidence in him.

The manager DOESNT have confidence in him. That is plain to see.

 

[jim tolmies perm]

But he did play centrally for a good part of the second half and didn't do much

He was the only out ball , first touch head and shoulders above anyone else so came deeper and more central to help relieve the pressure. But he's an attacking player not a box to box. England under Southgate don't press the opposition back when winning reverting to low block and hoofball to Hotspur. Very frustrating but expected

 

[Phil1]

I think Phil1 is pissed or just angry.

Sober and bored of the shite I read on here. He couldn’t get involved because he forgets he’s playing with a lot of me me me players and not a team like us who pick right passes at the right time.
I’ll leave the rest of you to blow smoke up the arse of a player who was half decent for 35 minutes.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

England were shite but the 20 year old kid was our best player by far

How dare a "veteran, world better" 20 year old lose steam in a game, right? Why can't he do what the much older and experienced players do?

 

[Blue and true]

He was very, very rarely central. And when he was, he wasn’t getting the ball.

Are you sure you weren’t watching a different match?

I was the watching the same match as you. He was shite. I love him to bits, but he was shite.

Hoof hoof hoof hoof hoof Hoof hoof hoof hoof hoof Hoof hoof hoof hoof hoof

Do you think Pickford kicked long every time because he wanted to, or was that the manager’s instruction?

 

[Blue Maverick]

Bellingham just referred to himself in the third person. As if ever confirmation was needed that he's an unlikeable ****.

No second half highlights for him for some strange reason...

Have you seen the new adidas advert, unfortunately he is now the new Ronaldo/messi poster boy, it will be him and Mbappe wank fest from now on, Haaland may get a look in but he plays for us so won’t get anywhere near a Ballon D’or.

 

[oldius]

2024 football players playing 1990s football. Pickford need kneecapping. Got to get him out of the team. The hoofing prick. No composure and it spreads like a cancer through the team.

Absolutely.
The commentary was the same: who the hell at the top levels of the game is talking about the 'out-ball'? This is not the 90s. My frustration at continual long-balls handing possession to the opposition is a symptom of my absolute good-fortune in being a City fan through this era - it is a curse when you watch other teams though.

 

[eyalluvitt]

A win but a hard watch, Bellingham flat track bully, Phil anonymous and Kane goes down easier than a lady of the night

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Bellingham has to be careful..he has talent. But take that run he did from deep in our half and he did a half circle run into midfield then ran it to far forward and lost the ball

The uk media can turn like a pack of hyenas, as we have seen in the past

Phil did well tonight but it looks on this game that him and bellingham want to influence the game in the same way - they both have to reach an understanding so they can link each others gameplay like xavi & iniesta did

If those 2 could do that, then they would be unplayable
