Spain v England - Sun 14th July, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Final

We need a better manager and a better keeper because that tactic is shite, especially with statue Kane up front.

But it's not all down to Pickford. That tactic has to have the blessing of the manager surely? If not them it's up to him to tell the keeper that's not how we're going to play, if you can't change the way you distribute the ball you're out.

I’m in Tenerife and it’s going absolutely mental here the locals are bang at it

I'm in Granada, same here.

Should we start a gofundme for @BlueHammer85. Last seen gloating on the semifinal thread.

cannot believe the number of cock-sucker apologists for this fkn utter failure of a manager, it's like voting for Trump

There was one exception, Guehi so much better than Maguire, who would have been played if fit

Him and Stones were both pretty solid tbf to them I'd agree. Maguire did actually bring the ball out from the back quite a lot for England which was missed to be fair to him aswell though. His performances for England have been much better than for the rags.

Pickford is a great keeper but his distribution is very poor. It only takes a few games watch City to understand why Pep feels this is so important. Hoof the ball to Spain, they have the possession, this is minutes and opportunities lost to score for us. They turn possession into attack, gain corners, have more chances to score. We have no possession. They din't score - Pickford gives it back to them. Repeat possession and chances for them - lost minutes for us. We've wasted a lot of time giving them possession from Keeper.

This is the managers responsibility to tell him this is not your strength, pass it to a Def- Def to Mid - more possession for us - less chances for them - leads to attack from Mid - more chances to score. It's simple stuff but I feel watching City every week makes this stuff seem simple.

Even Sunday League sides have come to recognise this specific point. If your player wins the header his back is to goal. What's he realistically going to do with it?

Why was this being chanted?

Fuck me have you ever been to a football match.

I’m in Maine and the locals have absolutely no idea there was even football on.

Viva España!

He's right, to be fair.

Exactly, that's why Pep didn't sign Rice. Bang average. Not his fault he was picked though.

I am scared of going to bed, I'll have nightmares of Pickford launching a long ball to nobody like 22 times and his manager standing on the side doing nothing about it. I need to unsee that shit somehow!
