Italy v England at the San Siro

[Teesside87]

Surely pope should have saved that?

 

[TeaCider]

At least he may play somebody in their natural position rather than play a right sided player at LWB.

Saka is left footed tbf, and has played plenty of his career on the left.
I actually think he's played the majority of his league games on the left since his debut, just not recently.

That's what I thought. Need to see footage from behind the goal though for perspective but did seem like he'd have had a good view of it

Pickford would have.

He'll rightly be given the World Cup, whatever happens.

Gave up at half time could not get interested in it.

Saka has played all his recent football with Arsenal on the right side. So it would seem sensible to me to play your resources to form. I'm watching with an Arsenal STH who also says as much.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Pickford would have.

There was no stopping that.

I wouldn't have played Saka there either, I was just pointing out that he's not right footed and has experience playing on the left.

Graeme Le Saux is a form of Anaesthetic

 

[Fabiopaim]

Southgate is a total charlatan of a manager. Great player, but should be no where near the England job. He failed miserably at Middlesbrough, and with the England U21 team.

 

[TeaCider]

It really has been dreadful from England recently, sadly.

 

[Muttley]

Team looks largely unmotivated. Playing Saka at LWB...

don't know why I bother football is shidt isn't it

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Pickford would have.

Disagree Pope's done little wrong tonight.

 

[TeaCider]

As long as we don't lose to the USA...

 

[Teesside87]

If this England side get to the QF’s i’ll be amazed

 

[Muttley]

Disagree Pope's done little wrong tonight.

Pope's distribution has been rank poor just not good enough too many punts into touch too many misplaced passes and punches rather than easy catches. Not good enough

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

The momentum of England's creative side was stalled once Bellingham got smacked in the back half way through this half. Since then it had reverted to type.
