Euro 2016 - Day 11

[FoxForceFive]

Yeah, Andy Carroll would be the answer. Fuck off.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Haha Andy Carroll

Ha. Beat me to it.

 

[Markeh]

Yeah, Andy Carroll would be the answer. Fuck off.

At least they didn't say plan b

 

[FoxForceFive]

Woy looked like a pensioner seeing his bus go past whilst he stood waiting at the stop then.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Why couldn't martin do that 85 mins ago?!

 

[FoxForceFive]

Ah fuck, I was hoping he'd have to sit the last few minutes of the match out.

 

[rurikbird]

I have to say, Skrtel's performance has been close to heroic. 4 or 5 blocked shots, including clearing Alli's shot off the line.

 

[Markeh]

What has Rooney contributed since he arrived on the pitch

 

[Markeh]

Well done Wayne just run fast in a straight line and lose the ball

 

[doctor_mac]

What has Rooney contributed since he arrived on the pitch

About 15 stones.

 

[rurikbird]

Really surprising that with all that excellent (seriously!) collection of centre-forwards, England's main weakness would be finishing chances.

I thought Sturidge, Clyne and Lallana played well and Hendo looked more fit than last season, but the touch kept deserting him.

 

[Markeh]

Fuck sake Henderson

 

[Markeh]

Well done Wales

 

[gkmacca]

Cue wild hype about Wales, the mouthy bastards.

 

[Hansern]

Well, that wasnt very good. Some decent build up play but poor finishing.

Wales winning the group, wow

 

[Frogfish]

Well that's fucked it up. Instead of being in the far easier top half of the draw we now drop into the far tougher bottom half. We'll play the runners-up of Group F : Hungary, Iceland, Portugal and Austria.

 

[Oncy]

Dogshit performance that. Clueless and lacking imagination.

I do hate playing teams who play so defensively though

 

[Portly]

I hope England don't get Portugal next. I hate playing those cheating, moaning cunts.

Wales deserve to win the group.. played with positivity and panache..

The lack of a world class player in the England side could be telling...

Slow and laboured performance from England not helped with Slovakia parking the bus...

 

[gkmacca]

Panache???

 

[FoxForceFive]

Panache???

They're fancy foreign pancakes I think.

 

[Portly]

Panache???

It's a kind of Welsh bread made out of seaweed.

 

[FoxForceFive]

England should be using sturridge's pace to stretch sides a lot more. There's players there that want to do nothing but play long balls to split defences open, & one of the fastest strikers England have had since Owen upfront. Vardy isn't exactly a slouch either.

As such, getting behind defences should never be an issue, yet sturridge is continually dropping deep instead.

 

[6TimesaRed]

Sturridge was playing far too deep for my liking.. was that's Uncle Woys tactic.. and Vardy.. how he remained on the pitch, I will never understand..

 

[jexykrodic]

I may be reading this wrong but I think we've come out of this with a very reasonable draw next round.

 

[6TimesaRed]

Why isn't Milner getting game time... ? I find that a little bizarre tbh..

 

[FoxForceFive]

Don't fancy Portugal, which is a distinct possibility. The other three though, you could hardly complain in any tournament.

 

[FoxForceFive]

It's demented. He had a boss season for us, & could have done way more than Wilshere managed tonight.

Masterclass of a defensive display from Skrtel

Masterclass of a defensive display from Skrtel

It was reminiscent of Carra in Istanbul. Every time a ball went in it seemed to be him who blocked it. He was everywhere.
