England v Wales, 16th June, 2pm

[JJH]

 

[Veggie Legs]

Another 1-1.

Whatever happens.... please don't start 4-3-3 Roy. I can't get my head around him picking a side to accomadate the only winger in the squad who is terribly out of sorts.

I'll be much more confident if he elects to go with 2 up top.

It's the other way round. He wants to play 4-3-3 (and as far as I'm concerned that's a good thing) and Sterling is a good fit in that system.

Should've called up more than 1 winger in the entire squad then if he wanted to play that way. Very very poor from Roy.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Vardy and Kane up there together shares the load, shares the defenders' attention. Do they get tight to Kane or do they back off Vardy. Whatever the defence choose to mitigate one, the other will benefit.

Should've included more than one winger in his squad then the idiot.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Kane and Vardy the two top English scorers in the Premier League and one will again take corners and the other on the bench

Makes sense to play three up front against three at the back though, that should keep the wing backs pinned back.

 

[JimJams]

Same lineup as v Russia then.

 

[mente captus]

England has to avoid at any cost to go behind

Alarm did it's job.

Go on boys, win this and you become legends

Mate you missed Gareth Bale's pre match interview, he revealed that he'd become a vegan.

 

[Abertawe]

That great great man can do whatever the hell he wants.

 

[JJ1532]

Dean Saunders - Wales are like a 1 man team at times and Bale is like Andy Carroll in the air.

Didn't realise Andy Carroll was what players aspired to be like in when going for headers.

 

[mente captus]

what i dont get is, the main strength of England is the forward line, 4 pretty good strikers ( w/o Rooney) and only one is playing. in my holy opinion they should play only 3 defenders ( one less to make mistakes and Dier and Alli should be able to cover the space that the 4th defender would cover) and put a second striker (Vardy) on.

 

[Abertawe]

I do rate Andy Carroll as world class. I'd be fearful if he was playing tbf, he's unstoppable at times.

 

[Stevencc]

Hart

 

[snortingfrogs]

England 1 - 2 Wales

 

[JJ1532]

2 stupid free kicks given away, get a grip FFS!

 

[Stevencc]

Fucking Sterling.

 

[Pagnell]

Sterling you useless cnut. Cracking cross by Lallana.

 

[JJ1532]

Got to score. Sitter.

 

[rudebwoyben]

Promising sign though..

 

[JimJams]

1 nil Vardy.


Oh no, sorry.

 

[JimJams]

So Sterling and Rooney not got the shooting boots on. Who's next?

 

[Kenneth E End]

Change of tactics then - back to patient build up play rather than getting on the front foot as they were v Russia.

 

[Stevencc]

Wales are effectively playing with a back eight! They are happy to sit back and let us have the ball safe in the knowledge we will end up hoofing it up the pitch aimlessly after getting bored of keeping possession.

 

[JimJams]

Refs letting a lot go.

 

[Kenneth E End]

England need to use the wingers as much as possible - Wales are desperate to narrow the play.

Good job Roy brought all those wingers then.
