Indeed, not cricket at all, whichever way you spin it! . I completely agree about the booing, it is probably counterproductive in any case. But politeness seems to be a rather outdated concept, sadly. It could do with rebranding........I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Team news..... main change is Trippier in on our right flank for Saka.....to defend against those Italian breaks on the side most of them tend to come from with Verratti and Insigne, especially earlier in tournament before Spinazzolla was injured. But Emerson seems to be playing the same role...

Wonderfully created goal.... see Trippier with the perfect cross for Shaw.... later, Trippier is taking the corner on the opposite side....great selection.
Some first 15', wow....Comment

He’s such a magnificent striker of the ball you almost wonder why he isn’t playing as a forward …Comment

Which I missed because I was typing a reply to an FB thread about Mahler's 1st Symphony and its possible precursors. The game is moving fluidly enough for me to have o wait until halftime for a replay of it.Originally posted by jayne lee wilson View PostComment

Half-time comes at the right time, with Italy pushing us gradually back.....
Tactically spot-on first-half. Moving the ball quickly in attack using the flanks well, forming up quickly in defence when Italy regain possession. But Italy have defended well since the goal; as players tire and the game becomes more open, once again timing and choice of subs becomes critical...
Watching the replays now.... wonderful team goal wasn't it?Comment

Giving up too much ground here, too early (poss. 33/67)..... sub soon to take the game back to them....crucial passage of play now...

You see? It was coming wasn't it? "Scoring by numbers". Oh yes, now we really do have a game....
Come on Mr. Southgate, don't wait too long....

Saka for Trippier...but we need more creativity, more firepower....and I guess experience.... here comes Hendo for Rice....
God, this is hard to watch....
Grealish or Rashford soon, surely... no outlet now, the midfield need something to hit...Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 11-07-21, 20:37.Comment

Oh, dear.How sad. Never mind.Comment

I’d have had Grealish on for Mount on 60 mins. We need to get hold of the ball, and he is the one who can do it.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Phew..... relieved just to get this far, right?
Chasing shadows for 45' is exhausting. Saka looks a little out of his depth here....
Two more subs needed at least now, just for fresh energies.
Chiellini? So cynical, could have been a red....Comment

"could have"? Should have, more like. So blatant.Originally posted by jayne lee wilson View PostComment
