We needed Ronaldo to save us from more England weeping and wailing; we can all unite in laughing at the cry baby.
Was a great player, never a team player though. The Saudi spotlight being on him seems to have made him even more of an insufferable prick.I hope he doesn’t score tonight. Portugal would be better without him., I felt the need to write in regardless of what opinions existed in this edition of the Mailbox . The very simple answer is that of course he should be sacked!
Southgate has been so bad that I honestly wouldn’t feel it a big deal if he got sacked today ahead of the QF match. Just put the starting line-up to a public vote. Even though last time we did that we ended up with Brexit, I’m sure the British public could still put out a better, more balanced, and bleedingly obvious side than Southgate.
Compare this to 1993 when Arsenal beat Sheffield Wednesday for the second time that Spring even though the Yorkshiremen were definitely the more attractive team to watch play football. Shaw’s injury and Chilwell’s lack of form should have scuppered the Foden off the left plan. Good in theory, but the lack of an overlapping left footed LB makes Foden entirely predictable – he has no option but to cut inside and the defence is consistently ready for him. If Shaw isn’t fit then we need to play a natural left sided forward.
The thing that makes it particularly easy is that your theory can never be tested. You can say you would have brought on so and so as a substitute in the whateverth minute, but it didn’t happen. As a result you’ll never know whether it would have led to a better or worse outcome. I couldn’t watch the game live as we had another event booked in advance to attend, so on the way I kept watching the MBM. I nearly fell off my bus seat when I saw Southgate had picked almost the same team. Really?
Slovakia were all over England, literally. And the ref missed calling a lot of it, as they have done throughout the tournament. But as pros, surely they get that it should only improve their game to move the ball on quickly. The reason they can’t is that many are playing in unfamiliar positions with unfamiliar team mates.
Coaches of the ‘lesser’ teams have all used pressing properly. Not just sitting back and defending deep. They used it in qualifying with middling results but carried on using it. Organized and effective on the break. And, unusually, credit to UEFA for the Nations League, these teams have a chance to go head to head and be competitive and it gives them the confidence they needed going into this tournament.
