In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran discuss a horrific month of December and a depressing FOUR defeats in a row - the latest coming against Wolves and Newcastle.
They discuss how much blame is on Ruben Amorim and rank our squad against other Premier League teams.
Do we have any chance of avoiding defeat at Anfield?
If you can't celebrate a penalty shoot out win in a quarter final, football isn't the sport for you.
That was some Emi Martinez esque level of trolling from Pickford to throw Akanji off his rhythm. Bought England a semi final.
My highlight remains the Swiss fan fake crying early in the game at a tackle, was about 60 years old and living the life.
Happy soul. Lighten up.
Can’t you just be happy?
What’s happened to him
Yes. But not Foden. Nothing works for him outside of Pep’s scheme.
I think it was a very even game. England were way better in the first half, second half and extra time the Swiss looked a bit more threatening but inexplicably having scored from a low cross, kept taking weird shots that weren't on. Neither team were much better and a draw was probably the right result.
The most impressive thing about England was the ability to fight back and get a goal quickly. They seem to have a resilience which bodes well in spite of their incredibly lucky manager.
Doing the same thing over and over ain't a fluke
Can’t remember the last time England scored 5 penalties in a shootout.
Exorcised some demons there. Happy for him.
Fair play to Saka for stepping up again.
Happy for Saka
Alright come on Holland and Turkey. The bar is so fecking low for entertainment here, even the Dutch and Turkish fans in the stadium doing a Mexican wave would surpass the excitement of the previous game.
Yeah wonderful player.
No we aren't allowed to be happy about getting to the Semi Finals of a major tournament. We must all hang our heads in shame.
Got to be in it to win it. England have given themselves a chance.
I've never seen an England team able to grind it out before. That's a skill you need to succeed.
Or maybe I'm not an England supporter...
Can’t understand your beef with Ferdinand has he done something to upset you
How was Portugal more deserving than France ?
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
That's the fastest I've seen the players run when the last penalty went in and then went to celebrate from the halfway line
Somehow gonna produce a negative number of goals
Has anyone ever answered a ‘where does this rank’ question with anything other than ‘it’s up there’.
I got my memphis sweatband on. I'm ready, feck them up.
Incredible how they’ve seemingly underperformed yet gotten through to the semis. France yet to score from open play and England appearing to be on the ropes more often than not.
Would be incredible if they both got to the final.
Yeah one of the highlights of the game for sure
To be fair we’re brilliant at penalties. Might as well play for pens in the next game too.
That's irrelevant, you're criticising people for celebrating winning a penalty shootout to reach the semi final of a major competition.
That's a mental thing to criticise anyone for.
I like Lampard as a pundit. Is this just my bias?
Special shout out to saka. fecking takes balls to take one after you've missed. Big balls.
Just won a shootout to make the semi finals of a major tournament and you think they shouldn't celebrate?
What?
Some bitterness to England on or is it envy
at least ten dives, trying to gain 10 meters at every throw in and having to resort to unsportmanship behaviour in the pens against mighty swiss after being lucky to even get there"A performance to be proud of"
He's very good.
Alright, I’m totally ready for this next game. Got a feeling Netherlands vs. Turkey is going to be spectacular!
*don’t blame me if it ends 0-0.
*don’t blame me if it ends 0-0.
Only because he isn't doing it whilst being Chelsea manager.
