HoylandOwl Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 DR was right pre the game tonight when talking about England, we need to give Foden the ball where he’s used to getting it. As AB said, re Bellingham. He took it upon himself to try to do everything, but there was one moment in the second half when he tried to turn his man about 5 times out on the left, when Foden was stood waiting for the layoff. Bellingham is different gravy, at times he’s the finest onion gravy, but he’s got to mature a bit to be that all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tewksbury Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 They should have an idiot rule. If you put your head somewhere where another player can reasonable be expected to play it with his feet and get kicked in it, yellow card for being stupid. Too many of these stupid bookings like the Austria one with the keeper or those where somebody get booked because some other muppet tried heading something at knee height. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have much rather have heard whether or not he’d be targeting TAA if his team was playing against England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling_Wolf Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Watching Turkey v Georgia. Fantastic Turkish support but I wish they'd shurrup with the non-stop booing whenever Georgia have the ball. Does my nut in. Smashing game now: it's just gone from Turkey 2-0, (2 in a 2 minutes), to 1-1 very soon afterwards. 2nd Turkey goal given offside by VAR with a pic showing half a boot. And Georgia almost just took the lead. Game on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Giorgi Kochorashvili is looking solid in that Georgian midfield. Only 24 and playing in Spanish 2nd division with Levante. Quality 'tackle' to end the first half as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling_Wolf Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Never thought or them being local rivals. Just looked at it. 👍 Next to our nearly owner's country too: Azerbaijan, Land of Fire. Plenty more than Turks do that constant booing - I think I remember Italian & Spanish clubs contesting a European final in Britain, yonks back, doing it throughout - but I absolutely loathe it. And yep, almost a home game for Turkey. Went to all three of the Euro '96 games at Hillsborough. Was quite looking forward to the last one. Was quite looking forward to the last one for the atmosphere between the Danes and Turkey. Think Turkey were already out by then and only 2,000 turned up, a right anti-climax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 If Southgate needs to know how to play 4-2-3-1 he just needs to watch Germany. The fluidity and inter-changing of that front 4, anchored by a proper middle 2 is a joy to watch. Foden would work in that team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People think that to be more attacking you need all the attacking talent on the pitch at the same time. But there is no point to that if you do not gain control of the ball.

Interestingly Gündogan said in an interview regarding this, that he played several years in the premier league and if this goal hadn´t been allowed, the English would have laughed out loud. There is this football expression in German "Englische Härte" (English hardness ) that would apply here. (Now waiting for the remarks 😉) Anyway , even in my family we were of different opinions : my brother said it was a foul and I said ....meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
