Day 12 | England v Slovenia + Denmark v Serbia | France v Poland + Netherlands v Austria

Never watched anything so boring in my life. Worse than us under LVG
 
This is a problem that he also has at Sporting. He already got called by Amorim because of that. Stupid, Rash challenges.

Yeah, I agree. Although in this particular case it was pretty stupid by Hjulmand as well. Came flying in for no reason around the edge of the Serbian penalty area.

Fair enough so. I’m watching the other game so probably shouldn’t be commenting.
 
Foden seems to be our brightest spark. He needs to play at 10, Gordon on the left and Mainoo next to Rice.
 
so bland. all players jogging around. no urgency.

Southgate has taken a star studded team and turned them into dross.

He'd be ideal for united
Feels like I'm watching United tbf. Just missing Maguire for the effect.
 
Given Brazil NT current state, Bellingham might have serious chance to try to win Ballon d'Or over Vinicius Jr but with performances like this one he'll go nowhere.
 
Foden at least trying something. Anyone thinking that Trippier has had a good game needs their eyes testing.
 
You wouldnt think this is a must win game for Serbia watching this half. They are dire, only reason England are safe from elimination
 
Leave Kobbie out of this.

I’d love to see Mainoo get a game, mostly because he fits better with the team than Gallagher but also so I can watch everyone who are calling Gallagher shit immediately pivot to blaming Southgate when he inevitably looks underwhelming, like everyone else does ;)
 
Has anyone actually enjoyed this tournament so far? Just felt really flat for me. That whole third place shite hasn't helped either.
 
We're already getting extensive excuses from ITV commentators about pitch laying, humidity and scorching temperatures.

The fact that Kane is flat-footed and running in treacle....Foden is finding Rashford sized cul-de-sacs to run into and Saka can't hold onto the ball is of course secondary.

Rice trying to get further forward is the only change brought about from Gallagher replacing TAA.

Creative midfielders have no-one making any runs.

Slovenia will get a counterattacking goal at some point if they try harder.

A better side would have ripped holes in this formation. We won't get past next round playing like this.
 
I’d love to see Mainoo get a game, mostly because he fits better with the team than Gallagher but also so I can watch everyone who are calling Gallagher shit immediately pivot to blaming Southgate when he inevitably looks underwhelming, like everyone else does ;)

Exactly. He's better off resting.
 
Can’t believe it’s taking more than 3 games to find the right balance. I’d play Rice Mainoo and palmer. Bellingham has been awful and hides when things aren’t going his way.
