When we need a goal we bring on Saka and Henderson… while Grealish and Sancho still on the bench…
Final: Italy vs England
- Thread starter ivaldo
- Start date
It's amazing.
Every decision has been good before final
Then waits too long to make a sub and control the midfield.
No idea why Saka on.
Henderson ok.like for like.
ET
Grealish for Mount surely.
Our race looks spent, aside from the goal we haven't done anything worth remembering.
Italy needs the second now. England is in a panic mode.
Italy dominating England like Barca vs United in 09 and 11 in the second half
Maguire stressed
Italy need to make all this pressure count.
This feels like watching United v villareal 
Taking Immobile off and bringing Insigne into the false 9 was such a great move by Mancini. Totally changed the whole game
We’ve lost all composure here, just can’t control and get out our half.
Southgate has got this wrong big time. Poor in-game management
It’s really just a question of time before Italy score a second.
Maguire looks distressed.
We'll never win playing this donkey football.
His performance dropped in the second half and should have been subbed for someone pacey at around 60 mins. Southgate bottled it.
I think a lot is aimed at Southgate t b hChrist the anti England on here …...
I don't think he did. Italy's midfield finally showed up. Second half is going how I expected the whole match to go. We can't get the ball.
Italians were always going to have a spell with the ball
So much for the defensive masterplan to tire the Italians out! Yeah, that's looking brilliant right now 
I hope United stays well away of Kane, good player, but nah
Agreed, he can always pull them both off again in extra time.
Bricking it on the biggest stage
Edited and removed my comment. Apologies for getting personal.
A cynical foul let go again, unfortunate decision really.
I commend Italy for sticking to their game plan and style.
The second England scored, everything went out the window and they stopped playing whatever was their game plan, cause it sure as hell wasn't defend for 88mins and win.

Italy needs to score and finish this now or else they will lose by a sketchy pen given kane or sterling heh
Maguire bought that hah
Genuinely thought Mount had gone off
The problem for England is that Sterling and Kane are completely undroppable, so who do we change? Our options are limited by having these golden boys.
Southgate is rubbish, He has gotten to a World cup semi final and Euros final and the only decent teams he played were Belgium, Croatia (world cup one), Germany and Italy and it looks like he is only going beat Germany.
I really want to jammy win this tournament and then once the monkey is of their back try and play a bit more progressive. We really should be playing something like a midfield three with Foden and Grealish either side of Rice. Playing the way we play against top sides we are getting beat 2 out of 3 times.
We don't have enough of the ball and our goal threat is laughable, if Shaw doesn't have the ball then we can't do anything.

Both were fouls I guess.. Maguire one was given
Bring on Rashford. He can score late winners during shit team performances.
Clearly Sancho and Grealish have got a little too close to Southgate's missus.
Can't see many other theories.

What, you mean since the 20th minute?
That's exactly what he's done by replacing one DM with another. He's basically accepted Italy's dominance and is now playing for a draw. For feck sake.
Get grealish on ffs. Mount is doing feck all.
That's the difference between having a true manager and not having it. Maybe United need to learn from England's mistakes
No booking?
Ref is a complete joke here.
