The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Tony Towner]

If the attitude could be sorted $#@! the formation.

He looks like a fit Jack Wilshere to me, I don't see how that works with Neves. It'd be sexy in possession, we'd be run through when we don't have it.

 

[Jinky]

Both teams having spells of possession in the game now but not really creating anything.

 

[Carrotdude]

Yeah we’re on the back foot now. Let’s see if we can do anything on the counter

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Apparently, if the attitude could be right he is a long way better than Wilshere. But attitude is attitude I guess.

 

[nimrod]

did hoddle say we have to remember to defend when we’re on the attack? I remember some of those games.

 

[Freddeno]

Exactly, very dull

 

[wanderer89]

Sterling not having the best of games. Doesn't seem to be able to trap a ball.

 

[Carrotdude]

We’ve picked up some good positions but not found the final ball yet. The Colombians are very quick to get back into position when defending and they seem well equipped to defend set pieces

 

[Parkins left foot]

did hoddle say we have to remember to defend when we’re on the attack? I remember some of those games.

Did you really expect anything Hoddle said to make any sense though!

Not sure what the point of Young is - lost the ball a number of times & spannered a corner way out of the zone it needed to go in.

He’s been awful but his pace and movement are excellent just needs to do more from the positions he gets in

 

[b3h]

Oh Ashley

 

[Jinky]

Sterling is doing my head in a bit.

 

[ndorsetwolf]

At the moment having Sterling on the pitch is like playing with 10. Nothing sticks.

 

[AndyWolves]

Completely irrational but I dont like quintero's face

 

[Nando]

Any suggestion that Quintero could play CM need to be binned. He's a #10.

 

[darlowolf64]

Exactly, very dull

Bless you Fred...after the dullfest of Sweden vs Switzerland this afternoon you have the audacity to call this game dull. :icon_lol:

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well this is a little flat the last few minutes.

 

[Parkins left foot]

+1 - he's contributing nothing apart from losing the ball anytime it goes near him

 

[nimrod]

yeah I know. I think he nearly said something much worse a while after but managed to check himself.

it’s not been a great game but we’ve looked most likely. not that it counts for anything.

No chances, so yes im giving back a little
