Kane to get another 90 minutes?
QF | England vs Switzerland | Netherlands vs Turkey
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
I have not seen one line breaking pass yet. All safe side to side with the odd underwhelming cross sprinkled in. Individual bright spots in Mainoo and Saka but still feels like more of the same overall.
I sometimes only get the games on Spanish channels here and it's amazing. The goooaalll goes on forever.
Saka and Mainoo must have some wild thoughts in their heads at HT. 2 kids doing all the work for 9 bottlers...
Even the ref was fed up with this shiteWas that 3-5 seconds added on
I fell asleep... what did they do to make Rio and Lineker so excited?
I think he knows
Given the talent in our ranks, it’s staggering how dire we are to watch. Should be used to it as a United fan but this is putting me to sleep!
I thought England were the better team, Switzerland have been very poor. The shape of England looks a lot better.
Would be ironic if England went out playing their best football of the tournament but i'm not seeing much of a goal threat from Switzerland.

Btw, the France vs Portugal game wasn't this bad at the half
Not losing is a precondition to winning.
Hope Rashford is watching Saka and taking notes.
Mainoo and Saka are the only two players on the pitch who are actually doing something meaningful
Pundits are impressed with what they’ve seen. Love Rio as a United legend but he’s a bit clueless.
England need somebody on the left. That's it really. That's where all their problems start
Mainoo excellent half
bbc salivating over that Foden performance ?
Did we watch the same game ?
Mainoo was way better.

He's looked amateurish against Saka.
Hands off. Klopp is coming to America
Kane needs to come off.
If BBC are praising this performance they really are desperate. This is not good.
fecking hell this montage of Foden.
It's just him passing the ball sideways.

Decent half. We killed the Swiss enthusiasm off quickly and put them on the back foot.
Counterpoint: due to the amount of physical effort, less space to work with and higher level of opposition, they don’t get to showcase all of that.
What are the pundits saying about the team's performance ? It's about time they rip both GS& the players apart
We need a left footer on the left that runs at people. Everything is down the right. Why are these praising Foden? He's been awful again.
Saka, Mainoo and Bellingham are our best players by far.
How do you go into a major tournament with just one recognized LW? Nothing down the left wing. It’s so easy for Swiss to defend.
I’ve been lucky to watch Palace win 6 of their last 7 games playing this formation and the difference is night and day. Being aggressive, winning the ball high, moving it forward as quickly as possible, off the ball runs for days…it took us nearly two minutes to move it from Pickford to their half in the later stages of that half there. Expectations must be extremely low if the pundits think this has been a good half.
That part isn’t really on Southgate. It’s literally how Kane plays
Mainoo and Saka have been great, much better from England.
Was that 3-5 seconds added on
5 seconds too many.
International football dying as an entertainment product in front of us. Shearer is soporific on commentary as well.
Hopefully not 120 minutes of this...

I want Switzerland to win just cos of the punditry
England clearly the better team and got to give Southgate some credit as this formation works a lot better. Not quite creating the chances but a lot more threatening.
I’d take Foden off as I think he’s struggled (although the BBC are bigging him up) but the system is working.
If Shaw is fit enough to replace Trippier that would also be a big improvement.

What are these commentators talking about?
Have they been watching the same match

Talking like Foden has been unplayable.
yeah it’s been his best game. Low bar. And he hasn’t really created much. Just tidy

Get Toney on
Rubbish first half, hopefully 2nd half will be much better.

Was thinking the same, odd. Feels like they've prepped it prior to the game even starting.
