I'd say I want some changes but the fecking rat will bring on Gallagher.

So many similarities between England and United under Eth.

Just don't control games and it will always be a detriment in terms of balance of play and momentum to win consistently.

Southgate is an awful manager, gets punished for his cowardly approach everytime yet he persists with the same tactics. Control the game but as soon as you score he sets the team back no matter what minute it is.

I can only imagine how that affects the players belief, when the opposition scores then all the momentum and preassure turns. It's just poor tactics, it takes a special talent to make a team with so much talent on the pitch look so poor.

No idea how Southgate was ever linked with us, concerning the people in charge of this club even considering him.

Been a bit disappointed with Hojlund and Bellingham. Both pretty anonymous so far.

This England midfield is terrible, zero control and defensively naive. Just because Trent can ping a few long passes it doesn't mean he's a CM, he doesn't have the positional awareness or work rate to play there, plus he might be able to hit long passes but his short to mid passing is nothing to write home about. Then you have Bellingham and Foden who aren't doing enough when they get the ball and Southgate needs to face the fact that his "tactics" aren't working.

Danemark's RB finds himself in good position but his delivery hasn't been good so far. Trippier is lost out there
The whole left side is a right state to be fair. Shaw will make some difference in terms of more natural width down that side.

Like a broken record but needs to be said for milion times over and over again.

Central midfield line is so poor. Overrated players and player out of position. They are getting run over so easy.
I've been told I'm wrong about this opinion so many times. Honestly as a nation we don't understand central midfield at all.

Before the Tournament I said England's midfield lacked balance and here we are. Bunch of individuals looking confused.

Such a waste of the last 3 years with him in charge. The Fa will probably try and persuade him to play after this!

Think this Trent in midfield thing can end at half time right? He's been so bad that neither of Rice and Bellingham can make up for it.

We all knew it would happen against anyone that isn't like San Marino.

Inside right
Trent needs to come off at half time and the experiment needs to end. He's so crap there.
A traffic cone. Just walks around, lost. No interplay, no making himself available, no positioning and absolutely no clue of what’s going on around him.

England are a mess. Half the players are static and half the players move so you have people occupying the same spaces as each other and just an abomination of a performance.

Saka off as well. Every ball to him is a ball just generally lost at this point
Yeah move Foden right. Gordon left, Trent on bench. Hell I'd even take Gallagher at this point. He gets a lot of shit but Denmark goal doesn't go in if Gallaghers playing.
