SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2022/23

Brilliant strike

 

Lewandowski is overrated. I am a Barca fan and it’s plain as day to see.

 

Can England beat the Frenchies?

 

A classic examples of why you have to be very careful rating the players of today. So many play for club sides who dominate games to such an extent that they will inevitably look amazing, even though they really aren't. Take Lewa out of a dominant side and put him in a bang average side and he is poor.

MTF

 

Yes, but they probably won't (presuming they get through).

MTF

 

Amazing how poor this 'legend' is when not playing against opponents who are horribly overmatched and who defend their own box for the whole game.

MTF

 

Agreed.

 

Howay Ingerland. Don't be shit.

MTF

 

Foden starts again. So Southgate isn't totally clueless.

 

They'd lynch him if he dropped him again.

MTF

 

Southgate's put him on the left. Anyone else not happy with that? Prefer to see him through the middle?

 

Yeah he's a very good creator as well as scorer.

 

I'm just relieved he's not in goal, mate.

MTF

 

Kane might as well be in goal considering he can't put one in the net.

 

I'm not making any predictions for

The knockout stages is where you want to see him start scoring.

 

Teams who have a realistic chance of winning this should be doing teams like Senegal. No disrespect, they are a decent side, but you can't win this against France, Brazil etc if you aren't doing these.

MTF

 

I doubt they'll lose today.

 

You're new round these parts. You'll learn pal.

MTF

 

Senegal press causing problems to the chuckle brothers at the back.

MTF

 

Was just about to say something similar. Senegal also roughing up some of the English players too.

 

Fucks sake I thought that was going to be a goal.

 

Zero chance for England to win the WC with these goons at the back. Jesus.

MTF

 

I thought it was gonna be a goal too

 

Clever from Senegal. They know Ingerland build up slow, so they can risk leaving a man over and commit to a high press, with Paul and Barry at the back always likely to cough up possession.

Brave and sensible.

MTF

 

What on Earth are they doing at the back?! It's too slow. Quicken the tempo and movement all round.

 

Backwards, backwards, backwards. Fucking hell.

 

This is fucking dreadful.

MTF

 

That's a big save.

 

Possession for the sake of having the ball. No pace, movement or purpose. Conservative, aimless shit.

MTF

 

I've seen statues move quicker than Maguire and Stones.
