July 11, 20242 yr The majority of international competitions are essentially played away from the perspective of the teams, so statistically, there won't be that many won at home.

Puts a different perspective on 66 and illustrates that - if we overcome the odds and actually win it on Sunday - history will not give a fuck about how shit we've been in many of the games. Aye I bet Greece fans don't give a shit how boring they were to watch when they won it

July 11, 20242 yr Nah, a win on Sunday night would be a undeniable achievement Nothing expected about it
July 11, 20242 yr Is it just me that thinks Mainoo is bang average? I just don’t get the hype, he’s a water carrier at best.

I actually thought Rice was the one who had an off day on Wednesday. Surprised he wasn't subbed off early on. Mainoo seems competent enough, but Wharton for me is the real prospect. I'd hope he continues his development and is the first choice midfielder for the next tournament.

Also worth mentioning that in 66 we played all our games at Wembley. Other host nations who have gone on to win it, played at various venues (possible exception of Uruguay in 1930)

He might not be out best but he is part of a squad that is playing in a major final on Sunday.Not a fucking 'water carrier " in the whole fucking squad
July 12, 20242 yr He is a very young player, just making his way at international level. Already showing class. No doubt he will improve with experience and maturity, but he's not looked out of place.
July 12, 20242 yr 3 hours ago, deeane Koontz said: Yes Absolutely yes. Like saying Rodri or Kante are water carriers. Mainoo has been our best player and will be a superstar.
July 12, 20242 yr Author Anyone think he'll go back to 4-3-3? Feel he might drop Bellingham in to help do a job on rodri.
July 12, 20242 yr It won’t be possible to disrupt their possession game. They’re too good at it, which makes me think we will look to sit back and hit them on the counter. Maybe this is the one where Anthony Gordon or Jarrod Bowen comes off the bench for their turn at having a “moment”?
July 12, 20242 yr Can’t believe that UEFA hasn’t released a statement about substitutions going on the pitch when a team scores. I reckon every one of our squad was on after Watkins scored 😂 Edited July 12, 20242 yr by Manchester_whites

Looking how yamal likes to cut inside he could be tempted to leave Trippier on his side to combat that. Walker more than comfortable with Williams.
