Cunha being strongly linked in press again today. Herthsa are open to selling. Fee around £30m… could go either way this one but apparently an 8 is our top target..

Also see Phillips top of the stats again for pressing the opposition more times then any other player in the tournament and did that twice as much as any other England player in the semi final.
Not bad for a waste of space midfielder!

plus he is Leeds that means more than anything

Phillips has assisted 10% of England’s goals at the finals.

How can you give 2 players 2 mins on the field and expect them to be mentally ready to take a penalty?!

It can happen to anyone unfortunately Seth. Cant knock anyone for stepping up and taking one.

England have a great young team and a great spirit. Just wasnt to be unfortunately. Great tournament from the team.

Penalties... again. It never gets easier.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Jul 11, 2021 10:01 pm  

Absolutely can’t fault them I said it though when they came on, to sit down for 100 mins then step up to take a penalty in a final, that’s a poor call from Southgate.

Seems like Shearer agrees with me
