EURO 2024 FINAL THREAD: SPAIN vs ENGLAND Sunday, July 14th, 8:00PM

[filbertway]

Southgate making 2 fairly well matched teams looking like a David v goliath 3rd round FA Cup game.

 

Lucky goal will come at some point

Get Watkins or Toney on to add some pace and movement, stretch their centre backs and we'll win this.

He just backs in, always has. 

Yeah but I'm not particularly arsed about it until he plays for England and it actually hinders a team I want to win

[Dahnsouff]

Be tempted with Toney instead of Watkins, as Toney can hold up and win headers, as I am not sure we look like playing to Watkins strengths.

Shaw brilliant.  Defence good generally.

 

Kane has not produced much and is on a yellow and so needs to be hooked earlier than usual.

 

 

100% this.

 

We need some fresher legs up front.  Defense has done well. Shaw a stud out there.

Not much in that half .

Playing our way into the game maybe .

 

[Mike Oxlong]

That was an entertaining half 

 

[MPH]

We’ve defended well and I expected Spain to come at us in the first half.. it at least gives us the chance to catch them second half… nearly all our goals have come late in the same so far, so at least we are still in with a chance..

[foxes_rule1978]

there is a feeling like Italy again I get that, Spain not really threatening and we aren’t ourselves pushing it I get that

Get Kane off. Doesn’t look match fit. 

[MattFox]

We’re sitting back and hoping for a moment again

[Nalis]

Foden's stretched shot was the only shot on target in that first half according to flashscore

[RowlattsFox]

Hoof.

 

Typical Southgate plan. Be defensive and see if something happens on the rare occasion we go forward or win one penalties. We lose on pens it's a hard luck story for him. 

[TeamRocket]

Poor first half only positive was defenders

We need to be more positive in the second half, we have these if we can get foden, saka and Bellingham into better positions

Anybody else would be hooked

[Andy11111]

I'm probably stating the obvious here but Watkins and Palmer please 😁

We can defend that is for sure, especially with Luke Shaw back in, so we need to go forward now and try to press the game 

[Md9]

Don’t think Spain have been great and if they take Kane off for Watkins and maybe foden for palmer / Gordon I think we can catch them on the break 

[ramboacdc]

Kane walking round is concerning. 

 

That Williams is everywhere and pulling all the strings. 

 

Watkins and Toney on and someone to replace Rice

Have the Spanish broadcasters got an ex England player in their studio for impartial summarising? Of cause not. 

BBC bending over backwards to be fair but sod that

[Vacamion]

 

Keeping Kane on despite the evidence is EXACTLY what Southgate has done in previous tournaments, to our detriment.

 

Can he learn?

Rice what? He is the man that covers well, I don’t see why people have an issue with him solid performer and does his job

We battered Italy for 35 min tbf 

 

 

[Md9]

Kane will play every minute of every game he is half fit and available for more so why Southgate is in charge.
