It's the Euros 2020! Finals Match Thread: It’s gone to Rome…

[dondo]

Southgate is a fucking fraud. Playing 2 DMs against fucking Scotland. Formation is terrible, energy is terrible. We will get knocked out in the first game after the group if we play like that. ??

mite not the right tactics vs a team like Scotland but vs a better side in a knockout situation it’s not a bad way to play imo

 

[Aphex]

Southgate chatting rubbish hahaha.

Saying the young players can't hack the pressure of playing against Scotland,

the same young players who just weeks ago played and in some cases won a CL....

 

[coypu]

DannyNZ why the neg? Do you not think Kane was given enough service?

 

[EaMidSpurs]

What happened to the Yorkshire Pirlo tonight...played more like the Yorkshire Harry Winks lol

 

[richard_gleeson]

Funny how Souness is trying to say Scotland were so great, yet never argues the case of the underdog being better when he’s on Sky talking about Premier League matches. He’s said teams we’ve beaten 4-0 were shit rather than complimenting us.

Probably because when we won 4-0 it was against a pile of shit

But we weren't playing better opposition!

Scotland wanted a result more. It felt like West Ham v Spurs. It was their cup final. England were so far off it. Kane doesn't look fit.

And who he also picked. Himself.

On average England's starting XI tonight finished 5.27th in the Premier League.

We are a cross between Leicester City and West Ham.

Which is correct.

How anyone can disagree Kane looked poor is beyond me.

DannyNZ why the neg? Do you not think Kane was given enough service?

He gets fuck all service from our team mate, he had a stinker tonight, looked slow, tired and weak... you are allowed to say it.

 

[dbspurs]

3 shots on target in 180 mins tells me all I need to know about Southgate's system and his ability to get the best out of our attacking players.

 

[topper]

Kane maybe thinking twice about playing with Sterling and Foden (lets forget he would have KDB putting him in every 3 minutes).

Kane needs a Son type player beside him, who can take it wide or go ahead of him allowing him a chance to play as a playmaker.

I think I would like to see Grealish, Kane and Sancho up top but not sure Kane deserves to play next game, not many of them do.

The problem is that if H is not firing on all cylinders England will be going nowhere fast

Most of the squad doesn't look fit.

He looked slow. Mind, England looked slow, I wondered if complacency was an aspect?

 

[sparx100]

Kane looked so far off the pace and out of sync with what was going on around him. He is so used to going deep for us but I don't think he needs to do it for England.

He went deep against Croatia, a lot. I think he was told to stay forward tonight.

 

[werty]

You say that but he had 6 players who just played in European finals tonight, the man who I think is the best striker in the world , in grealish and sancho two lads who will likely move for over 100 million each this summer . Is it the best squad there? No I think the French squad pipes it due to their centre backs but the England squad is filled with top top players who teams across Europe would love.

Scotland are nowhere near that level.

Not arrogance, not entitled just reality and whether you agree or not with the Liverpool comparison the gap in talent is huge.

Plenty of average players play for top clubs and have played in Champions League finals. I mean, we had Winks and Sissoko starting together in one.

As I said, you have a lot of good players, but mainly in the same position. You can't start all of Sancho, Grealish, Mount, Foden, Sterling, Rashford etc. You're GK is average. No good CBS. First choice LB is a RB. Two average CMs, albeit with good potential, who don't balance each other well. A striker who looks like he's playing with a 10kg weight on his back. France's first team is much better than yours, and their squad even more so.

Scotland have some good players, and a couple who would start for England. At International level the gap in talent isn't as felt as in club sides.

 

[wirE]

Did anyone catch a word of what Kane said in post match interview? The supporters not happy.

 

[beats1]

Does look off the pace though. I wonder how much he and the rest of the spurs squad have missed the high intensity fitness training Jose slung out.

If they were still did the session, there would be a lot more injuries

Our players have looked tired for years now
