The Euro 2024 Thread

[The Bear]

We're playing a bit better IMO. Certainly moving the ball around quicker and pressing them higher when we lose it.

In complete control at the minute without creating too much as yet.

 

[sycophantia]

We're definitely playing better than previous games but we still look much slower in our build up than anyone else
Seems to me the Swiss front 3 are as effective as any in these finals.

 

[The Dude]

So far it's been a much more comfortable watch.
Not a great watch, but I'm not stressing like I did the last four games.

 

[sycophantia]

Saka has had more impact in the first 30 minutes than in all the rest of his time in the previous 4 games.

 

[Tony Towner]

It's better, still not clicking though and for all Saka's looking dangerous his final ball has been poor

Yeah I'm probably at the straw clutching stage.
Is it too OTT to suggest Kane has been a passenger so far?

 

[Squeak]

This has descended into the usual England shit performance of poor passes, going backwards and having no general idea of what to do.

If so far means since the start of the tournament then yes.

 

[The Bear]

Mainoo has been our best player. Then Saka.

 

[The Bear]

Kane needs bringing off. Won't happen though.

 

[Sniffer]

Much better performance. Better press, good out of possession.

It’s just we still have a void down the left.

 

[Sniffer]

Konsa, Mainoo, Saka all very good.

 

[Squeak]

Kane needs bringing off. Won't happen though.

Agreed 100%. Hwang like.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Are we into double figures for shots on target in the whole tournament yet?

Very doubtful

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Kane for watkins.
Akanji has him in his pocket, so let watkins have a run at him.
Konsa doing himself proud, and foden having his best game so far.

 

[Tony Towner]

We were on 11 before today, although there are shots and shit shots

 

[Jack Regan]

There's been a definite improvement, but watching the BBC halftime analysis you'd think we were reincarnations of 1970 Brasil. Not a team who hadn't forced the opposition goalkeeper into a single save.

 

[The Dude]

Kane needs bringing off. Won't happen though.

He's been the least involved, however if a chance drops, you'd kind of want it to fall to Kane.

 

[jd1981]

Mainoo has been very good, Konsa looks very astute. We’ve been better but still luck a bit clunky at times has 1-0 either way written all over it.
