What a knob (Lewandowski)

I thought "stutter" run ups by penalty takers, which I remember going back to John Aldridge, were banned? I guess not.

I thought they were too.

If not, they should be.

**** Mbappe

I think that they intentionally use ******* awful commentators just to wind us up. All about the engagement. Why get someone good when you can get someone that gets people talking. Imagine Dublin and Savage together.

She gets on my ****, sounds like a bloke.

The movement to strike the ball has to be one movement, the run up is fine.

 

[antijoke]

We know Southgate is a plum, but benching Rashford…lmao

Jorginho's penalty technique makes Lewandowski look like Donald Duck.

 

[McBain]

Rumour no Rashford. LOL.

Southgate gonna Southgate

 

[omnomnom]

Rashford scores two goals against Danny Ward and suddenly he has to start?

100%.

Our top scorer at this World Cup, played a blinder in the second half of the last game. Of course he starts.

 

[Robbo]

Form is very important too, but I'm not surprised he's not starting, it's Southgate after all.

Both should have been saved and he was awful outside of those 2 shots. Makes sense to me.

Edit
I'm obviously not a fan of his but do think he's worth starting against the bigger teams who will dominate possession. He gives us that ball over the top / behind option if we are pinned in that Kane won't as he'll be playing DM.

Danny Ward was the reason Rashford scored two...

 

[throwaway4372]

I assume he's expecting a lot of fouls this game and doesnt want rashford injured.

 

[Robbo]

Oh sorry, I forgot goals don't count unless you score them against elite goalkeepers.

 

[GlitterBalls]

Or comes on later on as fresh legs and scores a belter within 10 seconds like he did the first game.

Southgate knows what he's doing. He got us to the semi remember!!

 

[McBain]

Danny Ward was the reason Rashford scored two...

Second one sure, first one not so much.

Also played a hand in our second goal.

 

[GlitterBalls]

Senegalese are mad about football too, it's what they live for. As soon as the kids can crawl they get given a football.

Ofcourse they do but when the goalkeeper is having an absolute mare you don't simply look at the numbers.

Southgate subs rashford, i expect 45 mins of defensive going for the long draw i see for a last minute cheeky goal Southgate always plays way to safe
