Said it after the last England game, why would Southgate persist in playing 3 right-sided players who prefer to hug the touchline, and no pacey outlet on the left to stretch the game, is beyond me.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are joined by special guest Anders (@Lyng) to celebrate the news that ETH is staying put! They also talk about the Euros so far, with special attention on England, Scotland and Denmark. They then finish with some transfer talk and the potential comings and outgoings at Old Trafford.
Bellingham is a rich man’s McTominay.
Bellingham has done feck all so far.
Denmark are really bullying England
There is acres of space infront of the defence every time denmark go forward.
They have also figured out that if you cut out the england right side interplay between walker and saka, we basically have no threat at all bar some long range hopeful hits, because the ledt side is just non existant.

Denmark playing quietly, confidently and very assured as a TEAM.
Shearer ‘We need to get Bellingham on the ball. Get people around. Get runners off him’

Spot on.
Imagine been so dense you contine to pick TAA over Mainoo in midfield.
Fecking idiot.
Fecking idiot.
You mean he defends well and that's it.
Kane is a problem. We don't need him on the edge of our box.
Denmark just whacking it from outside the box at will like it’s 2004, gotta love it.
I’d bring on Eze. We need a runner in midfield who can carry and dribble up the pitch.
In a shouty voice.
Rice dribbling in his box ...
Has Foden had a good game or memorable game for England?
England resorting to solo runs from their own half because there’s no midfield matrix to play through.
Who could have seen this coming?
Who could have seen this coming?
Denmark has definitely been the better team 1st half
We're fooking poo
So little movement, everyone wants to be through the middle, everyone of the attackers keep dropping too deep so their is literally no outlet on the counter.
Trent is not a midfielder.
Has to come off at half time.
Has to come off at half time.
I actually feel sorry for Trent AA. He's lost as a CM.
Not having an actual LB hurts England a lot. Foden also has no desire to play on the left, either.
England players complaining every time they are tackled fairly.
Forgot he was playing
Wasn't that bullshit?
You’ve got to admire Southgate’s knack for adapting our in game tactics.
England second best to absolutely everything in this last 10 minutes.
Been memorably shit couple of times
England are a fecking shambles.
Yeah it's embarrassing.
Typical England. Great level of talent and boring football with barely any fun element to it. It amazes me that a country this crazy about football, is this incapable of producing a somewhat decent coach.
Yeah, it's awful, and then you have half the other players around him moving and the other half static so you just get a really crap side with little attacking inspiration.
Going to be hilarious when Southgate doesn’t change anything at halftime.
Plus, the area he'd most naturally pass to which is left wing is occupied by both a non-LW and a non-LB. Brilliant.
Ridiculous isn't it.
Bellingham's role at Madrid is absolutely perfect for him.... it hides the fact that he isn't actual part of dictating play anytime soon, and yet that's what Southgate seemingly wants him to do, while having Trent next to him. Bizarre shit.
I still dont get why TAA was randomly put into midfield to start this tournament.
Don't feel sorry for him, he's been telling everyone he's a CM.
England play like Real Madrid minus the titles.
