I'm old and am having a hard time adjusting to so many "influencers" and online presenters. But this guy is class. I could watch him talk football all day.
If he was a shorter lighter guy (or just spanish) he'd be a midfielder without a doubt (indeed, as a youth player he was trained as one!). And frankly I think if, in some bizarre circumstance, he was asked to play as a holding midfielder or something similar, he'd be able to fill the role to an elite level and score quite a few extra goals along the way. He gets a lot of flak because he just didn't quite fit in right under southgate, but nobody can deny that he's right up there among the best in more than just a few aspects of his game. You can only criticise his actual underlying quality if you lost your memory from his time at spurs and don't watch any Bundesliga games (which to be fair, may accurately describe many english pundits, not including Cleary).
Imo Bellingham should be Englands #10 going forward. One of his best performances for England. What I like about him is not only his ability to find the correct passes or get into the box but his work rate at times even coming to pick up the ball at CB. England’s success is heavily dependent on the performance of Bellingham
To anyone who says "its only Ireland", it was also only Slovenia and only Iceland a few months ago. I've seen more matches than I care to count when a so-called "big team" struggle to break down a disciplined low block (which used to be called park the bus when I was in uni). Finding the right players to break them down is a big part of a manager's role and Lee Carsley did a great job. Also yes the Kane pass is a killer, he doesn't always do them but when he does its class.
Gomes would have been the ideal player to try and pass through the low block, especially in the first half, as Adam showed in a previous video. Odd he wasn't selected.
Serious credit to Carsley for really mixing things up over the course of such a short tenure. It feels like England have been in this kind of straitjacket of ideas for a long time (going back well before Southgate's tenure), but that we're starting to see that tactical framework and the perceptions of player roles etc. catching up with the players finally. After the whole "we don't have a Kalvin Phillips" nadir of the summer, it's so cool to see teams that work together and play to their own strengths rather than attempting to fit some pre-envisioned formula, especially in midfield. Hopefully this has broken the seal a bit if nothing else: you don't need these two ultra specific archetypes in a double pivot, there is a place for these technical players in midfield, there is real value in rotating strikers and not overloading positions we have surpluses of one player in. Also Bellingham is fantastic and it really ought to be his job to lose in that role. We shouldn't try to force an eleven that includes Palmer, Foden, Saka (etc.) when our depth and flexibility should be such a huge asset in itself.
Not at all lol. His game has little to do with either of them except for making key passes in the final third and scoring goals. He needs no such comparisons, he's just the best at precisely what he does, and honestly by a very wide margin in the modern game.
Do you think perhaps now Kane should adapt his game and start playing more in a number 10 position as he can then play those defence splitting passes which the forwards could get on the end of them, kind of like the role Griezmann plays for France. When he was at Spurs he would drop deep and pick out passes for Son and Kulu so im sure he could do the same for England
It's harry kane, his handful of misses over the years are the exception which proves the rule. He's one of the most reliable penalty takers in the world. It would be worthy of note if he missed, not if he scores.
It did, but critically it was a red card that england essentially forced -- because there aren't many timelines in which bellingham fails to finish from that position if unimpeeded.
Don't think we should conside this result as a solution to beating a well displined low block. At least not against a full team anyway. The sending off was what broke the block.
The block was broken *before* the sending off. Were it not for the foul, it's very likely Bellingham would have converted the chance. Now, perhaps in that scenario the game might have ended with a more... normal scoreline like 1-0, 2-0, or maybe 2-1, but those outcomes are just as acceptable (in fact perhaps more acceptable, when considering injury risks for a key player like Bellingham).
During the Euros he struggled to keep the ball and could not find the space to make such a pass. The better teams literally took him out the game, there was one match I think he had barely two touches in the entire game. Do you really think Watkins pressing or running in behind from ball’s over the top would not have created as many chances throughout the match?
Kane didn’t get space because the players around weren’t making runs in behind. That meant a man could follow Kane without exposing the defence. Kane can provide a lot more than Watkins, but it needs the right players around who can put the DM/CB’s in the dilemma of follow Kane deep or track runs.
Kane is an awkward piece to fit into England's system with the other key attacking players at their disposal, and clearly Southgate never got it right. But if used correctly he's far more reliably productive of contributions than Watkins could be. This is especially true when we stop thinking about fixtures against greece and ireland and start thinking about fixtures against spain and germany and other top teams who are far less likely to leave exploitable runs or make mistakes under the press.
No analysis needed here. The red card flipped the game. Before that, England were terrible and barely threatened, with no shots on target in the first half.
Has Carsley screwed himself though, with him now going back to the U21 team, he has just promoted the whole team to the seniors, who is he gonna pick now
In no sense has he screwed himself. The U21 manager's job is not about U21 results. Those just fill up the cabinet and serve to show off his prospects. Ultimately, the real determining factor is the prospects he produces for the senior squad. The fact that there are so many viable young players to promote is clear proof of that, and the more success the senior team has with younger players the better he will look. Who gives a toss about the U21 Euros if the players he developed for the senior level are succeeding in their stead? The only reason anyone knew who he was before the interim job is because his success with the youth squad is the only trophy that actually came home in a very long time.
Is it cos they got the ball handed to them one great pass penalty and a man sent off then the frail confidence of the Irish kicked in and with a mixture of poor poor marking and resignation (plus a slice of luck for the second) caused an mini implosion as England turned up the intensity for five minutes ?
In all probability little bits of all of that. When you set your stall out in a low block, the whole ten men need to be on the same page. You can’t really legislate for any particular player being red carded, but when it does, well what are you focusing on. If a mid or forward had been carded off then they may well have survived better. But when it happened, a key defender in a low block game, well the whole back line was suddenly a step out of sync, calm and collected is suddenly seeping away. Second goal and everything collapses. The rest as they say is history.
Which england created essentially by force. Without the card the scoreline may have looked more normal, but ultimately... bellingham got through in a very dangerous position and there was nobody there to stop him *legally*. In knockout football 1-0 or 5-0 is inconsequential, and you might actually prefer it if a key (and probably quite overworked) player doesn't take a tumble.
This (game, not the video) shows that VAR is just as useless at the international level as it is at club level. Like Ireland should have had 2 penalties in the first half, but VAR completely ignored both of them. It's a shame because the idea of VAR is great, but the implementation of it is a mess. Like if the ref is unsure about a decision then he is trusting VAR to correct him, but then VAR are thinking _"well, the ref made the call, and we don't want to second guess him."_ It might actually be better if the on-field ref was just there to relay the VAR instructions, because the way they're doing it just does not work. They're more interested in covering each other's arses than getting decisions right.
England have midfielders who can pass the ball in behind. It's not necessary to have a No. 9 who does this. It's just daft. England would have won this game in the first half with Solanke or Delap or Watkins up front. Kane is done and it's time to move on. The WC isn't for 18 months as well, it's done. He will be completely immobile.
If we have midfielders who can make that pass, why didn't they? Plus I watch Watkins and Solanke every week for their clubs. They're not great. If Watkins had started, it would still be nil nil at half time, he'd have had hardly any touches in 45 minutes, and people would be pointing out that he isn't up to it.
Because they didn't have a striker making runs in behind, occupying CBs, manipulating the defence. If midfielders are making runs in behind they can't also pass the ball to themselves. Having a striker running away from the goal isn't some sort of 4D chess masterstroke it's just stupid. Bellingham and Jones had to make 40 yard runs to affect the defence. A striker can just take a couple of steps and force the opposition to drop.
He's 31 not 88 lmao, and explosive pace, although important, has never been his most critical skill (indeed, he's the prototypical technical striker and technical and cognitive skills usually don't decline until much later in a player's career, if at all). Unless he takes a career-ender, he'll be among the world's best forwards for another few years at least, and certainly the best in his profile. The other strikers might have made more of this Ireland fixture, but against a stronger team which is calm under the press and makes no obvious defensive errors, Kane can do far more to create and force chances (on either end of it) than Watkins ever could just as he did here by making chance which led to the red. He didn't fit in right under southgate, but the underlying quality is there and if used effectively he's just the best English striker.
He looked 88 on the two occasions he was sent through. It was a horrific performance. He can still play a role for England playing as the deeper CF in a front 2 as he did when Solanke came on but building the side around him is absurd.
@sensibility1174 Well I agree they shouldn't build the side around him, so turns out we agree. I think you just don't like him 😂 Poor Harry. 'Horrific' is a word I'd use if he lost them the game and missed two pens, not played a worldie of a through ball to break the deadlock, then got the scoring going.
Hate to break it to you, Adam, but your "ancestral motherland" is eastwards of the British isles - you're a blonde fella with blue eyes, which is NOT native to these islands. Your family might have settled in Ireland generations ago (even >1,000 years) but they're as foreign to the land as anyone English is -- your 'ancestral homeland' is _probably_ Scandinavia or Germany. Or you're as mixed as the rest of us and all this ethnic origin shit is largely bollocks 🤷🏻♂️
It was really simple. England could not brake down the Irish defense until the red card. This basically broke the spirit of the Irish and England piled on the pressure.😢😢😢 Especially after they were denied a pen earlier.
Kane is worth 10 more caps because of one pass? how about he's worth 30 more caps because he's still BY FAR the best striker England has. you don't score the sheer amount of goals he has (largely under defensive managers like Mourinho, Conte and Southgate) unless you're world class. I find it incredible that people are still surprised by his quality. Watkins and Solanke have their use for England, but frankly, their main use is allowing Kane a rest. Kane is basically Shearer and De Bruyne combined and he's been like that for the best part of 10 years.
Err, didn't England just destroy Ireland because. . . they're Ireland? I mean, I love the country and culture of the Irish, but it's not exactly a fearsome team.
It's far from a terrible team either -- a win is expected of course, but knockout football is a cruel mistress and that's what this england team has to be ready for. Previous squads (and many other top international squads) have fallen before small teams with a well-honed defensive system and luck on penalties or the counter -- it's a tried and true strategy and one that you'll nigh inevitably encounter through the course of any international tournament.
If anything you've perfectly described why KANE shouldn't step foot anywhere near an England squad. England start with 9men as Kane doesn't need marking at all as a striker and frees up 2 defenders . Yes his delivery is good from deep in midfield which can be done by a lot England players ie if trent was on the other side...to a decent player with pace an awareness which Kane has zilch. England got lucky. Think about it, If kane passes to kane Ireland win the ball back.
You see that ball being played clipped over the top rather than screwed in because it offers the chance of a first time finish. Bellingham's run was worth a goal, normally it would be an easy header on yen end of the incurling delivery. But instead he has to take a touch on this ridiculous snooker pass. It's not good football.
Maybe if bellingham was running quite a bit faster and also 6ft6, but he's not. On the other hand he is among the world's best technical players and as composed in the box as one can possibly be. With a delivery that precise and bellingham's skillset, I can't possibly see you how think an actually very risky header is somehow a better chance than time and space for one of the world's most composed and technically capable players (who's also not exactly noted for aerial ability).
Bellingham is a fantastic header of the ball, it's pretty clear you don't really know what you're talking about. He has scored absolutely unbelievable headers against Serbia for England, against City for Dortmund, and pretty much the exact goal you are saying he couldn't score in the CL against Napoli last season, look it up.
The key factor in that is not his tactics or man-management or any of that. It's whether or not he's willing to deal with infinite death threats and a smear pieces in every paper if england do anything but succeed wildly. There are a lot of managers out there who could put forward a very strong squad with a very strong system with the players and other resources the FA has access too -- same as for the most prestigious clubs -- being willing and able to handle the pressure and expectation and criticism and open hatred both from the public and behind closed doors rules out almost all of those managers. I wouldn't be surprised of Carsley never ever considered taking the senior team job on a permanent basis. It's not something everyone wants.
I'm old and am having a hard time adjusting to so many "influencers" and online presenters. But this guy is class. I could watch him talk football all day.
What an acid trip the editing on this was
I hadn't appreciated that Kane made that pass with the outside of his foot to put a fade on it. Wow, that was good.
Boy is talented

Yes his delivery is good from deep in midfield which can be done by a lot England players ie if trent was on the other side...to a decent player with pace an awareness which Kane has zilch. England got lucky. Think about it, If kane passes to kane Ireland win the ball back.
Obnoxious title.
It's true though.
They were playing against a 10 man team of mostly championship players. Case closed
You see that ball being played clipped over the top rather than screwed in because it offers the chance of a first time finish. Bellingham's run was worth a goal, normally it would be an easy header on yen end of the incurling delivery. But instead he has to take a touch on this ridiculous snooker pass. It's not good football.
Maybe if bellingham was running quite a bit faster and also 6ft6, but he's not. On the other hand he is among the world's best technical players and as composed in the box as one can possibly be. With a delivery that precise and bellingham's skillset, I can't possibly see you how think an actually very risky header is somehow a better chance than time and space for one of the world's most composed and technically capable players (who's also not exactly noted for aerial ability).
Bellingham is a fantastic header of the ball, it's pretty clear you don't really know what you're talking about. He has scored absolutely unbelievable headers against Serbia for England, against City for Dortmund, and pretty much the exact goal you are saying he couldn't score in the CL against Napoli last season, look it up.
The ref won it for England, deffo a peno in the first half
😂😂😂😂😂
@@Adam-zh4hm laughing because its true and you know it buddy. Its so obviously rigged.
Think Carsley should have got the job?
No..
The key factor in that is not his tactics or man-management or any of that. It's whether or not he's willing to deal with infinite death threats and a smear pieces in every paper if england do anything but succeed wildly. There are a lot of managers out there who could put forward a very strong squad with a very strong system with the players and other resources the FA has access too -- same as for the most prestigious clubs -- being willing and able to handle the pressure and expectation and criticism and open hatred both from the public and behind closed doors rules out almost all of those managers.
I wouldn't be surprised of Carsley never ever considered taking the senior team job on a permanent basis. It's not something everyone wants.
By staging a perfect dive?
Not a dive tho
It’s just Ireland
Red card, that’s how they beat Ireland
The sending off prob had something to do with it
Who cares?
England are the best team in the world and in ten years Carsley will be knighted. 🫅
