Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 11 Site Supporter Share Posted July 11 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Is it just me that thinks Mainoo is bang average? I just don’t get the hype, he’s a water carrier at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah it's just you. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 12 Site Supporter Share Posted July 12 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L/H White Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 Anyone think he'll go back to 4-3-3? Feel he might drop Bellingham in to help do a job on rodri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 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”? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manchester_whites Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) 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 by Manchester_whites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainoo and Foden will press him to death. 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.

And I never got the feeling it was a Brandon Comley style pass completion where all of them were backwards - Christ remember him?! And people call Dan, he’s a world beater compared to that waste of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
