Mogsy Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'd bring Origi on for Felli, actually have someone linking up play and help occupy the defence They should have kept two up front, like you say, and run the older Italian defence ragged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 McCarthy should have walked in the second half... the reason he took a card? He let him man get the wrong side of him.And what does Jagielka do after a mistake, just let's him go. Exactly the kind of thing I've banged on about.

Steve_E Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 It was to be expected after the last couple of games and Wilmots' quotes. He said his offensive players have total freedom to create. If you want to create, you need a structured attack. And preferably one where you play footballers that can play football. With this XI, Hazard and De Bruyne need to dribble three players all by themselves to create something. It's probably already too late to start implementing a more structured attack, but hopefully putting proper footballers into the XI will help as well: Dembele in (for king of the sideways pass after taking three or four touches) Witsel, Carrasco in for Fellaini and either of Batshuayi or Origi in for Lukaku (and the other one as the second option, rather than Lukaku).

Lowensda Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Matt, Fellaini created 1 less goal scoring opportunities (7) than Payet did in his MOTM performance for France (8).

holystove Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Italy earned this victory (very professional team) but it could have just as easily been 1-1. Lukaku really should have scored. I'm only willing to put up with all the ball bouncing from his shins, because he normally finishes the chances he gets. If he starts missing those, everybody will go hafnia on him. Origi should have scored aswell, but at least he offers something else besides goalscoring. Looking at Belgium's players, at the very least they should be fun to watch; they're not though. To me, this is down to the manager. Conte looks like a brilliant tactician. Think Chelsea will do very well next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirallas Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) not surprised, it was like watching Everton under Martinez The players played in the only way Wilmots knows how to play football: man-to-man. You see all they did in terms of tactics was try to stay with their Italian. In fact the moment I thought... meh this game is going to be 2-0 for the Italians was when Wilmots declared shortly before the start that he wanted to see the Belgians "try to create 4-5 chances". What the hell kind of manager at top level goes into an important, difficult game with that kind of gameplan. You just know he had no tactics. And the guys on the field didn't really know what to do, so they ended up trying to set up actions that they didn't really practice upon or individually set something up... again, kudo's @ Eden Hazard today for working hard to try and improvise. The fact that De Bruyne had an off day didn't exactly help either. And this is why I'm a bit reluctant to blame too much on Lukaku, because he doesn't function in chaos. Lukaku didn't know what to expect, where to run or whatever. No strategy, no gameplan, total chaos. Wilmots is always good at explaining fuck knows what before and afterwards, but remember, he's a former socialist senator and politicians can always talk their way out of tricky situations using little more than hot air. I want a good coach who knows football through and through. Christoph Daum is for instance a fantastic crisis manager. He can bring organisation into a hopeless team, so please KBVB, let him sort out Wilmots' mess. (I'm just randomly namedropping, it's not a rumor with any substance) Edited June 14, 2016 by Mirallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
