World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

[Sandman]

I'm sick of players not getting round the back. They cut inside to two markers. Take him on, get a cross in or get a corner.

Madueke Must have blackmail material on tuchel

 

[Ace Face]

They have played together in a 4-4-2 and it’s worked well against lesser teams, not sure it would work too well to sacrifice a midfielder in this one. Sørloth is not a winger though, so unless we bang it long to him on a regular basis, there’s no point in having him there.

Wouldn’t you better off defending in a 4-5-1, which you are, with Sorloth playing in one of the more central positions and then move up next to Haaland when in possession?

That’s what I would do. Then, if I was Tuchel, I would counter with Burn for Guehi.

Every time I see Jude play I see a dele alli role
He plays so much like him it’s scary for me

 

[glasgowspur]

You've seen the British summer right?

Err, English summer. We've had more "unseasonably cool" days than heat wave up here.

 

[Kandi1977]

Sorloth looks like he is playing out of position. Where does he normally play?

He's a striker.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Yep, agree with those two subs. Madueke ineffective, Rice looked unfit

 

[Seedy Ron]

Two Goons off, two Goons on

 

[Baleforce]

I don't like either of those subs

Very similar the way they both weave into space, but Bellingham is a step up from Dele. Truly world-class and the most complete midfielder in the world.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Let Bellingham take this one

Good to see that you’re finally learning to hate those Goon scum like the rest of us

 

[Baleforce]

gets this one

 

[Lemonade Money]

In fairness he’s always had two defenders on him whereas Gordon has had a lot more space and room for a 1v1.

He has regained possession a few times too but in general has been ineffective against their low-block.

Nah

 

[Lemonade Money]

Good subs on terms of replacing our weakest links.

With the greatest of respect to Alli, Bellingham plays the role to a much higher level, and in more high profile situations.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Eze was never scoring, it wasnt v Tottenham

 

[Rorschach]

He's a striker.

Looks like it

 

[Baleforce]

Good subs on terms of replacing our weakest links.

I'd argue they both just got weaker

 

[Ace Face]

Positive subs. I think we need to score two more since they have Haaland.

 

[Daisuk]

Bellingham is fudging class.
