KiwiScot 1,443 Posted November 25, 2022 Something's not right. England tippy tappy about and don't threaten whilst usa get the ball and lauch full on assaults Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 25, 2022 Back down to earth. Thats why many prefer Foden to Sterling. He is a passenger in a game like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted November 25, 2022 Absolutely awful isn’t it. No urgency no tempo no desire to press. You can understand the slow performances under Southgate when we are in control, this has been anything but. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,234 Posted November 25, 2022 Patience required. We're struggling to play through the Yank press and not really pressing them. They are 100% better than Iran. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it’s anything like Norwich we’ll be waiting another 25 minutes before we start performing… I was just thinking it was a very Smith performance so far. Not doing any of the things which made us successful against Iran. Far too slow, far too few options for one touch passing. On the couple of occasions we have we've opened them up.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Surely if they are pressing us then we try and stretch them not just have Stones and Maguire tapping to each other. A couple of long diagonal balls might make them think differently. Edited November 25, 2022 by keelansgrandad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
