Get in there. Buzzing! Got some work to do yet but plenty of positives to take from the performance. Trippier, Phillips, Sterling and Rice all very good. Solid from the rest. Once Mount and Foden get going we’ll be well on our way. On to Friday.
What others have said is right. Teams that play defensive football tend to do well in tournaments. It would be interesting to see what happens if we went all out attack though. I doubt many sides would be able to handle it.
On reflection it makes sense to call up White if he’s keeping Maguire and Henderson around. He can cover either position. What I don’t get at the moment is why both are still there.
Plenty to work to do in the next week. Bit pissed off with Henderson. He was making a point of pulling up the armband as he told Calvert-Lewin to give him the ball. Never scored for us and I think that was his first pen since he missed the one against Colombia. Was impressed with White. Looks...
Had our tickets uploaded to the app. Top tier which is a bit shit but feel lucky and thankful to be there. Ours are pretty cheap (Cat 3) and some others that have gone for that price point are in the prime seats in the lower tier. There are some that have paid a lot more than us for Cat 2 or...
I would rather see James (or Henderson for that matter) out for JWP but can see why all 4 right backs are in there. All 4 have differing qualities and can play elsewhere. Other than those two I’m struggling to work out what else I’d change.
Interestingly Scholes said he felt he shouldn’t have been in the squad for the two years before he was left out as he wasn’t good enough. Was a bit taken back when he said that.
Meh, we made a good racket but we’ve seemed louder with a couple of thousand at somewhere like Notts County or Barnsley. Would’ve preferred them to take place at Old Trafford.
Awful place. There aren’t many plus points for it and plenty of negatives against it in comparison with other stadia. In normal circumstances I don’t want a home tournament. This time it’s different though. Will take anything!
That’s fair enough and there’s nothing wrong with that. In a similar way, every day I think about both and how much I’m missing it all. Can’t wait to get back to normality (living rather than just thinking it) starting next Wednesday and August!
Thanks to both of you. Love my city and my country and always do what I can to support and represent both. Got my season ticket for my club and ESTC membership for the next year. The times spent using both and spending time with others that are passionate about both/either I treasure.
