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

Saka is perhaps the only who consistently plays to a decent level under Southgate. Everyone else genuinely dreadful.
 
Whoever decided that Sam Matterface was a commentator should be jailed.
 
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.
Yeah, if you’re not going to pick Mainoo in there I’d go for that. Foden should be in the middle of pitch for sure.
 
Getting suspended for 2 yellow cards in 3 matches is fecking stupid.
This is a problem that he also has at Sporting. He already got called by Amorim because of that. Stupid, Rash challenges.
 
England miss Sterling, someone to run beyond Kane as he drops deep. This setup wont work at all with these #10s
No surprise our best attack over the past years has been: Sterling Kane Rashford // Rashford Kane Saka

We haven’t the manager or tactics to successfully play with all these deft ball to feet guys
 
A stupid rule. Refs in this tournament have been whistle happy and there are lads who will miss massive games for nothing yellows.

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.
 
Gallagher looks no better than Trent. Embarrassing considering he's meant to be an actual central midfielder.
Because it is not his fault. Quality is not there. It was not Arnolds fault either. Rice and Bellingham are not quality that people want them to be.

England don't have leaders in midfield. That is big problem. That was so clear to see when squad was picked.
 
Maloney and Whelan? Jesus wept. They’re awful. The standard on RTE is terrible in general. I miss Bill and the lads.

Nobody ever accused RTE football pundits of being unable to moan and complain.

It’s having a notion as to what they’re talking about is the problem.
 
If Sporar scores, England should forfeit
 
This is a classic England performance in competition football. Played the best players with no system and suddenly the team can’t play football.
 
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
 
This ref is an absolute idiot. Defenders hammering and wrestling Højlund but no foul given.
 
How bad is Gallacher :lol: England need him to get a yellow card this game. Only way southgate would drop him.

Oh, and is bellingham playing?
