Re: England Vs Croatia
Phillips completely showing me up there. Never been all that impressed with him for England before but he was immense today. All round very solid. Still think a proper left back would do us a lot of favours going forward but we were tight defensively and looked completely in control throughout.
Croatia were worse than I expected mind. Looked like an ageing side with a lack of talent coming through.

Re: England Vs Croatia
Phillips was immense and Mings was the pick of the central defenders, dealt with everything that came his way.

Re: England Vs Croatia
Love to see some of the same idiots showing they know nothing about football. I don’t agree with all of the starting XI but I’ll give the guys who got us to a World Cup semi the benefit of the doubt

Re: England Vs Croatia
There was definite booing initially but it got drowned out by all the Marxist clapping.

Re: England Vs Croatia
Our centre halves are our weak spot, so you have to go with 2 in front of them.
That bloke from mid table Leeds the clear MOTM.

Impressed with the second half. Much better tempo and much more movement amongst the three behind Kane. Phillips the best player on the pitch by a country mile. Outstanding display. Not overly impressed by the fullbacks - hopefully Southgate will give TAA and one of the left backs a run out against the group minnows on Friday.

Would have liked a "statement" performance, that announced that England are a major contender.
(If I were a Mod, the use of the word "Mong" would get a warning, at least. Feel sure the bloke would hesitate to say it face to face.)

Re: England Vs Croatia
Was a good goal. Croatia were 2nd best and caused few scares to our defence. Wasn’t a great match in the heat, and we lost our way after the up and at ‘em start, but happy enough with a win.

Agreed & correct - "Mong" is not a welcome term around these parts.Give it to Jabo wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 8:34 amMug? Let's face it, we were not that wonderful.

Re: England Vs Croatia
You rarely get that sort of performance in the first game, and we weren’t even playing against one of the weaker teams. Maybe not one of the very top teams but they’re definitely stronger than most in this tournament.Give it to Jabo wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 8:34 amMug? Let's face it, we were not that wonderful.

Winning the game was the most important thing, which we deservedly did and were comfortably the better team.
I don’t know what else people were expecting. And yeah, looking at your posts on this thread (Southgate got every call you disagreed with correct), he’s absolutely made you look a mug

Re: England Vs Croatia
Think Southgate set us up not to lose, and I think that's fine, against one of our main bogey teams..
We Didn't create much, in the way of clear chances, but I thought we contained Croatia extremely well.
Phillips/Mings the pick of the bunch...we looked fairly comfortable and organised.
This was arguably the hardest game of our 3 group games, and we won: I for one am happy with that, though clearly plenty aren't..

Absolutely (We shall never know what Grealish might have contributed, shall we?)

Correct on the first part not so sure Croatia will be the hardest think the jocks will, this is there cup final and they now have a good coach in charge, really don’t know why Southgate refuses to put Grealish in the team even as sub can only assume it may be a little personal

6 defensive players.
How the hell did Southgate get anywhere near the England job.
I have to ask, do you get tired of being wrong every time you post, or are you used to it by now?
Conversely, is this purely a troll account because some of your opinions are genuinely bizarre.
