Mount - Phillips - Rice are too conservative.
Semi-Finals: Italy vs Spain | England vs Denmark
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Neville is going ott there, that free kick was sweetly struck.
There goes the point, waaaay over your head.
Rice is ok, but Phillips is awful.
Sounds like a formality then...
“England should be in front, the Sterling chance before it...”
Why do people always ignore the fact that if the first chance goes in, it totally changes the game? Denmark go up the other end and immediately score a second for all we know...

We’ve some of the best wide talents in the game and Southgate needs to fecking use them. Denmark are happy to deal with crosses all night long, we need to get behind them on the ground.
Too average.
Some laughable keeping from Pickford for that goal.
"Here's the entire goal to aim at. I'm gonna stand over here and watch"

Totally agree
Good first 10, horrible middle 25, good last 10
Bloody hell, that football you and Spain gave us was a different planet away from the shit we're seeing tonight. I'm only watching because it's England or I would have turned off by now.
Mason mount while obviously a good player, feels like a CM being forced to play as a 10, he doesn't have that offensive energy for me.
So what? A better player may have created 2 or 3
It was well struck, but it wasn't anywhere near the corner.
Pickford was hampered by three things:
1) started too far over
2) stepped across too late
3) has the reach of a toddler
Pickford can't reach his fecking crossbar
Thought so too even after seeing the replay. Pickford has been a nervous mess but that FK it would be an unbelievable save.
So hard to call both teams will feel they can win this.
If Southgate makes a sub soon then England will win the game.
if he keeps it then Denmark will snatch a goal late.

St
Straight down the middle virtually. Has to save it
Henderson for Rice/Phillips, take your pick.
Grealish for Mount.
Grealish for Mount.
It's a wonder sometimes how we ever managed to evolve beyond single celled protozoa.
Well if you listen to the English, they think its a formality as well.
Bring Sancho on for Saka asap.
Sterling has been brilliant, though. His movement in and around the box is frighteningly good, and the Danes are terrified of him.

The nervous energy in this game though!
You've got to have a certain intelligence to play as a number 10 and play in between the lines. This ain't a game for Mount, against the Italians maybe but not tonight
Why is Pickford so angry when more often than not he's the one culpable for the mistake? Bloke needs to go to a shrink or something
Grealish has to come on
had worries that we’d get shown up against a proper team.
Philips is too high and rice is too deep.
Rice is doing a 5 yard crab impression and hiding alongside the CBs. he’s playing like an out of form matic.
Mount has given the ball away with heavy touches every time.
subs needed at 60 if nothing changes.
FFS Gary make a sub!
England definitely have more to offer from the bench and could work out in their favour if this goes beyond normal time
Phillips been shite. Rice ok but zero creativity.
Walker excellent, Jesus he is fast - must be a toss up between him and Adama Traore.
Kane, Sterling and Shaw good although shaw with the soft foul for the goal.
Grealish, Henderson and Sancho should be called to action soon.

Been shitting it since about half an hour before kick off. The way the match has gone has not helped.
If Phillips miscontrols one more pass tonight I hope Maguire knocks him out
I just dont see what Mount offers this side. We have a midfield pairing designed to be pragmatic. Thats fine. It's what we have to work with and Southgate has done well to build a team around that. You don't need to be picking a number 10 with 'defensive contribution' in mind though. Grealish will beat players, win set piece opportunities, and create space for others
I think Raheem will decide this game one way or another, he'll either bundle in the winner or sky and absolute sitter at some stage, been phenomenal so far. Best player on the pitch.
It was a good free kick but it wasn't in the corner. Come on, a decent goalkeeper saves that. I think Pickford just shat himself.
Hope Denmark pull through, they deserve it. Failing that, I hope it goes to extra time and pens
