Euro 2020

[Jinky]

Would love to have Gosens at Wolves. Exactly the kind of player we could use at LWB.

 

[Tony Towner]

Whoever was tracking Goosens for Portugal needs shooting, an absolute piss poor effort

Rafa Silva

 

[Nando]

That is as bad a piece of defending as you'll ever see from Rafa Silva. Doherty/Zubar at their peak would be proud at that. Deary me.

 

[sycophantia]

Semedo has had a tough game (not helped by his midfield) but if I was Portuguese, I'd be more worried about the form of Ronaldo, Silva and Fernandes.....absolute passengers

 

[Paul]

Gosens AGAIN! Substitutes fault this time (Rafa) just let's Gosens run away from him.

Looked at him 2 or 3 times and still didn't bother to follow him !!

 

[PuntsWolf]

That's not the way Portugal were set up though. He was meant to stay high up the pitch. He's not a player who shirks his defensive responsibilities which is why they changed it tactically at half time

Well that’s braindead management then. Don’t track him and expect him to have acres of space and concede 3 goals (now 4). The German inside forwards are playing narrow occupying the FB. It’s what wolves did when we actually tried to score goals. Gives the WB the space down the outside for the switch.

It stopped being effective when we resorted to the horseshoe.

Semedo isn’t a great defender but I’m not sure he can really do anything here. He can’t go out and mark him otherwise someone will just run into that space in the middle of the pitch.

Germany showing how 343 should be played

 

[Charlie Wolf]

Portugal have no midfield, playing a 4 0 6…and the six upfront are strolling around like they couldn’t give a shit. Fernando is a disgrace tbh

 

[Jolemai]

Mout on.

 

[The Bion]

Well that’s braindead management then.

Ding ding ding.

Getting torn apart tactically and Santos has done nothing to mitigate it.

 

[Jack Regan]

4-2 Diogo gets one back.

 

[Tony Towner]

Well that’s braindead management then.

Absolutely, as someone said earlier today the standard of the managers at the top European sides is really weak. So many hold their sides back

 

[Freddeno]

damn, 2-4 i have just germany and spain left on my bet..getting crazy this with Hummels subbed too

 

[Charlie Wolf]

Can only think that Neves is injured if he can’t make it into this team

 

[PuntsWolf]

No team in the world can leave 4 players up front and expect to get away with it. No manager in Sunday league even allows that. It’s the players not doing their jobs and the manager not doing anything to enforce it. Sanches and Rafa Silva are both in shot for the last two so they know they should be there but they’ve still fucked it up.

 

[Jack Regan]

Can only think that Neves is injured if he can’t make it into this team

Nope! Santos just prefers to play with two cloggers in the middle of the park.

Then when you take one off it's a toss up between him and João.

 

[Freddeno]

Goretzka is a good player

 

[AndyWolves]

Semedo finally getting a bit of help at RB now

 

[Derby Wolf]

Lee Dixon, "I was going to question why they played a short corner"

Just don't, Lee.

 

[AndyWolves]

That second German goal shows how both Portugal full backs are 2 v 1 on both sides.
