England 0 - 1 Italy at HT.

Shots 6 (1 on target 1 blocked) to 7 (1 on target 4 blocked)
Possession 58 - 42%
 
Lookman is going too become some player , unfortunately.

he's taken the piss at times in this match , he just ghosted through four Italians like they aren't even there
 
2-1lookman lol

a tap in after an ojo cross , solanke couldn't get a head on it and lookman spanks it in from 5 yards
 
Ojo looks class one moment and then shows poor control or intelligence the next, someone on here suggested He didn't have the concentration levels , its kind of looked that way for the u20s recently

I mentioned him (just before Everton signed him) as a cheaper alternative to Dembele; I still think he's got as much chance of becoming a world class talent as Dembele does. I wish we would have made a move before the blueshite.
 
England have been a different class to Italy , quick and incisive on and off the ball , lookman has been ace solanke lead the line well and bagged a brace

I've only seen a couple of hours of him playing in all honesty but he's looked a different class , as a hot take , id certainly suggest you could be right Pesam
 
Solanke was fairly quiet , had a few opportunities he fluffed in the first half but was always a willing runner and worked hard

Ojo came on with 30 minutes left and left a few Venezuelans in his wake , tracked back well and got forwards a few times

Decent game of football , England had 5/6 players who had the strength and pace to simply breeze past the Venezuelans and that felt like the difference maker, having a few more senior players

Venezuela offered a few chances and after a diminutive number 10 came on they looked a threat , the peno they had was piss poor and the dick with the bleached hair had a poor game

The ref called the peno correctly but still referred it to the video ref who seemingly gave an instantaneous response , so that appears to have worked well when needed throughout the tournament

I knew little of solanke prior to this tournament but I can see him integrating into our first team squad well, he's strong , technically looks good and his first touch and ability to interchange with others looks good . Not the quickest but no slouch either based off this tournament.
 
That's how you turn a 3mill punt on youth and multiply it by at least 5 in the space of a week. I bet Chelsea are feeling pretty sick. Well done the England team and our very own player of the tournament - Solanke 😎

That tribunal fee hasnt been agreed yet. You dont think it could be increased because of this?

Is it based on his perceived value at the time when we signed him? Or can they take this tournament into account and now value him higher?
 
Why do so many of the black and/or mixed-race players have double-barrelled names?

"Princeton-Variance"
"Capston-Villa"
"Prevert-Jackson"
 
I read that as 'Pervert-Jackson'.. that would be an awful name really.

Those names are boss though in general.
