FIFA World Cup 2018 - 3rd/4th Place Play-off [14 July] **spoilers**

[neoboy]

Yeah need to rest some players for Euro 2020.

 

[Jokester]

We're trying to lose this match to get an 'easy route' in the euros right?

We've not shown any creativity whatsoever, really, really poor.

sterling losing possession so cheaply yet again

You talking about this game or the whole tournament?

we created 1/2 dozen decent chances in the semi - we just couldn't finish

 

[Snax]

If we could replace sterling with a midfielder like Eriksen, Modric, de Bruyne who could play deeper, we could play Ali and Lingard where they like to play.

replace sterling with nearly anyone else and England would be better off

 

[neoboy]

Should they really be standing off this much against someone like Belgium? Very little closing down going on and they have a lot of space to play with.

This is what's really getting that bee under my bonnet, not only is Sterling not producing results, it's affecting how others need to play.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Been watching the tennis but reading the comments it sounds like Sterling has justified his inclusion. At least he's got some games between now and the Euros to come good.

 

[Snax]

Sterling has been included to make runs behind an opposition’s defence but no one in the midfield can play those passes.

 

[Converge]

Loving the analysis of yet another balls up by Calamity Jones. Such an awful, awful player. If there aren’t moves at United to get a few centre backs in i’m going to cry.

 

[XeNoN89]

We look slow and keep going sideways and backwards. They need to sort it out

None of our players do through balls or make runs so only option is sideways and back.

 

[Snax]

Such depressing analysis. Can you imagine a coach telling you to “increase your intensity”. What does that mean!?

 

[Sui]

Lingard on for Rose, Rashford on for Sterling

 

[Cosimo]

Such depressing analysis. Can you imagine a coach telling you to “increase your intensity”. What does that mean!?

Pass sideways and backwards with more frequency.

 

[spook2575]

Good choice on the double subs

 

[Shocky-FM]

Bit one sided from what I watched, not Tennis was pretty good though.
