UEFA Euro 2016 - Round of 16 **spoilers** (25th - 27th June)

[cm1179]

good grief our shape is laughable what's the attack plan here?

 

[SPG]

We'd be better off taking a squad of Championship level players, I think they'd fare better. Maybe with the odd 'top' player in there too.

Seems to be a mental issue and lack of effort in general with our best players.

Of course, a competent manager wouldn't hurt...

Been saying this for years.

 

[antijoke]

Now Iceland just have to sit back like everyone else and they will win.

 

[nemtizz]

Rather go out to these than to France. Roy more likely to get the boot.

 

[shipinabottle]

Raheem sterling gets the ball in space, stop until another player moves into that exact same space then gives him it... Are you for ******* real? How is that not literally making your place useless...

 

[BaZ87]

Looked a dive from Alli there.

 

[Sasahara]

Only thing I think is on our side really is time - I think Iceland will struggle to keep it up the full game while our players mostly will be able to.

Because living in one of the harshest environments in the world makes you lack stamina?

Need the guy with lots of Ls, As and Ns in his name on.

Yea lets take some god awful lower league players to run around for a bit.

It isnt a lack of effort, its a lack of shape and tactics. Its what happens when your manager is hopeless.

It's all those EU football immigrants invading the Premier League.

Tbh, this is true. English players outside of their premiership teams and without a bunch of foreign players, are just an extremely average team not much better than the worst ones who didn't make the last 16.

 

[Kenai]

England need to start playing football and not dancing with balls

 

[Artery]

Iceland pressuring very well, we don't seem to be dealing with that very well.

Heh I don't doubt they are tough but playing out a full game takes a certain type of conditioning.

 

[ps3ud0]

Id swap Sturridge and Sterling around - just keep going back on their favoured foot rather than crossing some early balls in...

Mark Lawrenson is Irish.

More likely the heat will take it's toll

When they get our in half, we have no shape at the back, they have too much space and too much time.

I know it's mainly the manager.

Wait until he's replaced by Stuart Pearce though.

 

[Artery]

Partly because our full backs are getting high up the pitch.
