This just came up on my X feed. Still think Armstrong was far too concerned with getting in front of player rather than just getting shot off. He’ll be kicking himself as
Anyway, done now
Just Gallagher for TAA….FFS
Maybe
I thought pen all day long on first viewing, but watching the replay, I do feel Armstrong is leaning all.over the defender, so I can see why they just stuck with the on-field call.
The more I watched it, the more I thought no penalty. On first viewing though, definitely looked it.
Latest, apparently, is that Gallagher will be in for TAA.
So, from fantasy world beater, to actual carpet one.
I think Gallagher will be fine for tomorrow actually, but he's not the answer going further forward into the competition.
I've really not seen Gallagher play before, but when he has come on these two games, he has been shite. Is this the best we have in "the most exciting league in the world"?
Did well for Palace. Not exactly standout for Chelsea.
That to me, the more I look at it, is a case of Armstrong wrestling the defender to the floor.This just came up on my X feed. Still think Armstrong was far too concerned with getting in front of player rather than just getting shot off. He’ll be kicking himself as

Did someone say divot?And not someone who can play in a double pivot…well, not convincingly.
Better for the position but yeah, not exciting. A far cry from world class.
Let's hope.Yeah, agree that he’s better but in both matches he’s come on we still haven’t really regained control of the game. Still think southgate needs to make another change or two. Most of his new, exciting ‘breath of fresh air’ squad additions Palmer, Gordon, Mainoo and Wharton haven’t even played a minute yet !
Anyway, let’s hope some system tweaks means it knits together better than it has so far.
Let's hope.
What worries me about Gallagher is (he's okay at club level) that his passing isn't that great and and he does have the tendency to give the ball away quite cheaply.
I would much rather have Mainoo in there.
Mixed feelings on the Scots for me. On the one hand a lot of time for people who love their football, at the same time, years living up there with them roaring on whoever was playing England at any sport, false claims of an obsession with 1966 etc etc mean my sympathy is limited. That and the not particularly pleasant part of being an Englishman up there for the indyref.*Robertson had been disappointing overall, thought McGinn was very good last night to be fair.
I do find the vitriol on this thread towards Scots a bit odd considering we live in a City with a significant proportion of people of Scottish descent like myself..plus of course a large number of Irish,west Indian and Indian sub continent descent.
I shall be hoping England find the improvement required to progress further in the competition and that Ireland's gift to England (Kane) finds his scoring boots.

I never want them to win and I live up here and was told today that I should support Scotland as I live here so I asked if I should have supported Belgium when I lived there, yet it is perfectly acceptable for them to want England to lose. I have been told a few times to get back to my own country both during and since the indyref. The 1966 obsession is in my experience always brought up by them and it isn't right how partisan our commentators are but perfectly OK for their's.Mixed feelings on the Scots for me.

Portugal look good as do Spain...hard to split them imo.So at this stage , who is your money on .
I'm going to say Portugal
Absolutely. Gallagher brings exceptional energy which we've undoubtedly lacked but is not someone who will control possession. If we are to press high & intensely from the off then fine but that needs the whole team to do that & we've not looked to even attempt it thus far.Let's hope.

Good shout , I'm watching Italy but that Spain rotation shows they are pretty strongSpain for me. Looks like they've been able to rotate quite a bit for tonight as well
Similar for me and the Welsh. It changes you from wanting other home nations to do well, to wanting them knocked out ASAP!Mixed feelings on the Scots for me.

They're looking very smooth tonight. Playing a quicker tempo than they used to do makes them far more watchable, too!Spain for me. Looks like they've been able to rotate quite a bit for tonight as well
I appreciate the greatness of the late 00s and early 2010s Spain, but that doesn't mean they weren't a fucking terrible watchThey're looking very smooth tonight. Playing a quicker tempo than they used to do makes them far more watchable, too!
Sometimes I loved it. Other times they were indeed appalling to watch! Depended as much on their opposition and how they set up whether you'd drift off over 97 passes or not.I appreciate the greatness of the late 00s and early 2010s Spain, but that doesn't mean they weren't a fucking terrible watch
97 passes by minute 6Sometimes I loved it. Other times they were indeed appalling to watch! Depended as much on their opposition and how they set up whether you'd drift off over 97 passes or not.
It's weird how nobody seemed bothered about pints being thrown on the pitch at players.
If that was in the UK and stuff was being thrown the game would be stopped, all over the media and all fans hooligans.
They were exiting with peak Torres. Durge after, you can apply the same to Barca but insert Messi/RonaldinhoI appreciate the greatness of the late 00s and early 2010s Spain, but that doesn't mean they weren't a fucking terrible watch
Struggled watching peps Barca aswell tbh.They were exiting with peak Torres. Durge after, you can apply the same to Barca but insert Messi/Ronaldinho
Generally I'd agree, still worth a watch to see if Messi was going to do something outrageous.Struggled watching peps Barca aswell tbh.
