Probably not. This is where you want a Geoff Shreeves to break it to him.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
By winning the group, Austria will get either Turkey or Czechia - Georgia unlikely. If they had finished second, they would have played Romania/Belgium/Ukraine/Slovakia.
He kept Sabitzer onside when the rest of the defenders moved up. Whether due to laziness or lack of focus, he is to blame for it.
This is true, but the big difference to me for a player like Foden is how City try to create chances vs England. City commit so many players forward, and do so many underlapping runs when the ball arrives at their widest players.
So playing (attacking) wide left for City is: keep the width, play the underlapping runs when they're on, arrive at 2nd post when the penetrating pass/move has been made on the right side. For England they probably need their left winger to do more, including beating man 1v1/1v2 and deliver a cross, run in behind when Kane or Bellingham are on/about to receive the ball.
Even his polo shirts are boring.
We'd find a way to lose 1-0 to Belgium. A draw is a disaster, we'd lose out to Germany. Win by 3 or more is probably safest but I'd back Italy to beat us.
Oh no, its Matterface.
Why was everyone singing out of sync?
I thought Rangnick was a fraud Caf? Not bad for a "worst manager United ever had" and rest of clownish posts about him on here.
Atmosphere sounds great at the England game
Here's our dour national anthem.
Those jackets aren't to shabby.
I was just going to mention that. Trouble is the fans always sing it a lot faster than it is supposed to be sung.
That system should work well for England, too. Both Saka and Foden are capable of width, quick darting underlapping runs, and finding the right movement when the ball's on the opposing flank. Walker and Trippier can both put in a cross, Kane occupies center backs and positions himself well, and Bellingham can make the late runs into the box for cut backs or tap ins.
The point is - even with just the players in the lineup, England can play great attacking football from both flanks. It's clearly poor coaching.
Come on England!
Slovenia dressed like Italy to intimidate the English
Yea, watching it back, that's terrible.
My attention was initially drawn to the half-assed closing down that left the gap for the pass to Sabitzer, but this is worse.
In many ways, this fixture captures the essence of the competition. A plucky little nation that has never done anything meaningful in the Euros, and they’ll be taking on Slovenia.
Yeah right, that little group was quite irritating. Remember one of them just used to call him 'wreck it ralf' repeatedly. Always felt he had a rough time here and some of our worst attitude players threw him under the bus by making no effort.
What’s the betting TAA comes on for Gallagher in the 70th minute
Why does Rice keep passing the ball backwards? This is exactly how he would've looked like for United.
Should've carded foden for that dive
Lee Dixon still sure Foden got caught?
<insert wagging finger emoji>Not sure early goal then sit back is necessarily going to work in this game. I believe they have a particularly good keeper.
Give this 10mins and if it’s dire as expected it’s going off
Surely the fact that this group's winner plays us next possibly must be extra incentive to win.
Half a chance for Slovenia
Should’ve done better there.
England been so sloppy so far
Look at the midfield… all sat on top of each other with acres of space to play into behind them.
Sesko had more time there. England started poorly.
Southgate been watching ten Hag this season?
Ha, so bad atm.
Yeah, a potential Holland-England game would be a 50/50. Probably go to penalties which we'd lose. We are appalling.
Alexander-Arnold 100% coming back for next game
Already some slack play from England and the free header just now wasn't hugely encouraging
Rice drops deep but doesnt really want the ball
Two cheeks of the same ass meeting
