I'll happily eat humble pie and state I think he's one of the best footballers in the world right now. Link to post Share on other sites

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 What a game this has been to watch. It's so refreshing to see a team (not seen as elite level) having a go against England. England have shown how good we are as an attacking team but Kosovo have exposed our vulnerabilities on the defensive sense. It would be nice if all international breaks had games like this.

It was a good game,BUT any team above Kosovo in the rankings would have murdered us...Just saying like Link to post Share on other sites

We turned lazy in the second half due to thinking job done and they caught us out. You could also tell that the original mind-set was to keep charging forward looking for goals but from about the 75th minute we controlled it much better and remembered we were actually 2 goals up. Overall still happy with performance. 1 win next month sees us qualify ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I also think that they would have been far less gung-ho against better opposition. Could have been 8-3 by the end either way. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I think the opposition's level did have an effect on the game. You go 5-1 up against a team at half time and some heads would switch off regardless of the opposition. Great credit to Kosovo for making it an interesting game and were it not for our clinical finishing in the first half, it could well have been points dropped. Link to post Share on other sites
unclesmog 53 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 The thing is, we could just as easily say that if we weren't sloppy at the back we could have won 8-0. For me, this is the most entertaining England team I've seen in a long long time. I'll take the odd calamity in defense as long as I get to watch attacking football. Link to post Share on other sites
