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

And some of you were giving it to Scotland the other night! With at least a fifth of the talent available to them !
 
England starting to get going a bit now to be fair. Foden having his best game so far.
 
Foden has completed one, yes, ONE pass to Kane so far this entire tournament
 
That's the difference with Southgate and for all he is annoying Arteta. He fires his team up, he prowls the touchline. Southgate is like being managed by your exceptionally nice uncle.
He looks bereft of confidence; doesn’t want the ball; refuses to use it for anything but side or backward passing. Really needs a good game to get his nerves back.
 
Rashford has been poor all season, and there is no way he should be in this squad, but if you compare his movement, even at his worst, to foden on this wing, you can see exactly where the problem is.

Rashford occupies defences because he is always looking to push behind the full back, foden never shows those runs, happy to come backwards and inwards, he makes it easier for their defence.
Why does rashford keep coming up in here, Gordon does the same but has been a lot better this season just not picked by our genius manager
 
All 4 of England's defenders are more confident on the ball than their CMs
 
"Gallagher let's it run for Saka"

No, he just completely messed up his touch and we were fortunate Saka was there.
 
I bet if prime Carrick were available for selection Southgate and enough England fans still wouldn't fancy him starting. Not physical enough or something.
That already happened when Carrick was in his prime. Of course it would happen again

In fairness Portugal, Turkey and Denmark all to win, plus England to win 3-0 isn’t all that unlikely.
 
What is the point of Gallagher if he keeps drifting up the field when England want to play out from the back? At least Trent could pass forward, Gallagher just taps it back to the center backs.

Just stay in midfield and link play, ffs.
Since when England and Southgate want to play out from the back?
 
Gallagher looks no better than Trent. Embarrassing considering he's meant to be an actual central midfielder.
 
England miss Sterling, someone to run beyond Kane as he drops deep. This setup wont work at all with these #10s
 
England have levelled up to a shite louis van gaal style of play. Yay go us. Save money on sleeping pill tonight
 
The RTE broadcast have two pretty good announcers, not afraid to criticize players when appropriate.
 
Kane looks like he's carrying a piano.
 
A bending belter that bamboozled the backline - lands on a slovenian head who turns it behind under no pressure.
 
Can’t he put Mainoo on so I’ve at least got something to watch. This is crap.
 
Gallagher and Rice marking themselves out of being passed to - neither showing for the ball at all.
 
Rice is terrified. Shadow of himself.

He's a good player. But should sit in front on the back four on his own, and stay there, with Bellingham and Foden in front of him and Gordon on the left, and the full backs pushed up a bit.
 
These 3 Euro games must be the fewest touches Kane has had of a football in about 10 years.
