I agree but it is our 10th QF!
Don't give them the ball, don't try and beat their press with passing as we cannot do it, hit them quickly on the break.
His hold up play really stood out for me tonight. I have not always been his biggest fan but I am beginning to see all the work and what he adds to the team.
Make them worry about us.
Of course, I wished I hadn’t until the first goal. Still haven’t leapt up in joy like I do for an Albion goal though. Sorry
I personally think both teams are quite even, both have riches in attack and both have weaknesses. Just play your normal game and keep your fingers crossed in my advice! It will either end 1-1 or 5-4, which way I couldn’t say. It has the potential to be a game of the tournament.
Obviously when you're being pressed a lot you look for a ball over the top. Dunk does it all the time, and Maguire does it for England. The keepers to it too. And they don't need the manager to tell them when to do it, it's always part of the plan. Not that any of our goals were from a long ball over the top.

I just want to check, you are joking right?
I wouldn't know anything about that, all I was commenting on, was how delightful it was to see the Senegalnese fans adding to the WC spectacle
ug:
You're such an odd bloke..
Pelt them with English onions and breathe elephant garlic, whilst we break with the ball.
similar to tonight, defend deep, slow it down, let them chase the ball and waste energy, keep close to Mbappe don't give him an inch - eventually he'll get frustrated and run out of ideas, win the midfield battle (start Henderson).
