Post-Match Thread and Ratings England v Switzerland EUFA Euros Quarter Final 17:00hrs ko.

[Cricko]

Right England get your fingers out today!

 

[Shr1mperBlue]

One change to starting line up.

I may as well go get the matchsticks now!

All I ask is that Stones sets the tone, and actually does some forward passing, like he does for Man City. If he does another 80 sideways passes like he did last game, the remote just might go through the tele.

 

[Cricko]

Kane is on walkabout pace again.

 

[Shr1mperBlue]

Absolute blatant handball on the edge of the box which ref misses and VAR can’t intervene??!! It can of course intervene if a player offside by width of a blade of grass.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Much better from England. At least we look like we can breach their back line.

The fact that rubbish is better than previous matches tells the story though!

I imagine the neutrals will have fallen asleep but it's a big relief to see us actually in control, this feels a lot more like the football we played in 2021/22 (which was cautious but effective). A goal will come if we keep playing like this.

So boring ---- I'm falling asleeeeeee

Kyle Walker needs to retire he is pony

 

[Shr1mperBlue]

Yep, much improved for sure. Still, Walker’s first touch is awful at times. Hook him and get Trent on.

 

[Cricko]

Lots of possession little result.

….and Palmer, and Eze, and Toney for donkey Kane.
Just go for it Southgate you’d get more respect

Agreed. Mainoo shows what the young players can do. No fear. Just throw them in and see how they do.

 

[Benfleet A1]

Kane looks knackered to me. Give him another 10 minutes to buck up or sub him and get Toney on. Palmer would make a difference imo as well. Switzerland look a little vunuable at the back, Toney and Palmer might be the answer for me.

 

[Cricko]

All dropped back once more inviting them to attack. We need some fresh legs.

 

[Sufc.2008]

70 minutes with not a shot on target again!

 

[pottster]

We have options on the bench. Just saying

 

[Sufc.2008]

Unsurprising…
