Day 7 | Slovenia vs Serbia | Denmark vs England | Spain vs Italy

England resorting to solo runs from their own half because there’s no midfield matrix to play through.

Who could have seen this coming? :rolleyes:

Yeah what a surprise, its exactly the same as the last match, thats whats so bleeding painful about this. If all us fans of different clubs can spot the problems, why can't the management team.

So much talent, so little clue.
 
England is just hurting my eyes it's so bad. I want to know why Southgate is so fecking stubborn.
 
Southgate's England are so tactically inept it's unbelievable, it makes ETH look like Pep!
 
What exactly does Trent offer in midfield?! Foden a completely different player to the one at city.
 
This football from England is physically painful to watch. And that's after watching all of our season.
 
Foden has been stung by all the criticism of him never doing anything in an England shirt and has clearly decided to combat that by taking countless shite stupid shots from all over the pitch.
 
Two back-to-back England halves of pretty underwhelming football, considering the talent on the field.
 
There's zero cohesion in this England team. Headless chickens in attack and defence. They can't play as a unit at all. No idea where to run, taking up each other's space. It's a shambles. Southgate is a fecking fraud.
 
Bellingham is a very good player but I feel like he is a tactical problem with England's winger who are not the crossing type. His link up play in small spaces isn't optimal
 
Why is Shearer shouting like someone is spamming him with flashbangs
 
Have to wonder how much Southgate is sticking to playing Bellingham, Foden and Trent out of position to show how brilliant he is. England have the players to dominate the game with just sticking to the obvious rather than being overly smart.
 
  • Zero pace in this team.
  • Shoehorning a RB into midfield because he's good (overrated) on the ball.
  • Playing two tens with a striker who comes deep.

It's just dumb.

And to say we was linked with him replacing ETH :lol: We’d all die with boredom next season if that happened
 
Completely inexplicable how England collapsed after we gifted them the lead. Just gave away all initiative.

Still get the sense that England will win in the end, but I'm pleasantly surprised at the attitude shown by Denmark.
 
England are out numbered centrally 4v3 when denmark has the ball and TAA isn't a mid so he's not tactically sound enough to recognize when and where to shift
 
He'll play for a draw. So Gallagher's coming on of course.
 
Not having an actual LB hurts England a lot. Foden also has no desire to play on the left, either.

He could have picked a player for balance. Burn, Doughty, Colwill, Henry or Mitchell etc.

Instead he chose to bring an injured Luke Shaw.
 
It's embarrassing for Southgate to make this excellent set of individuals look like they've never played football before.
 
Piss poor. I think the players have actually had enough of Southgate.

Trent's made more backwards passes in this game than the past year and looks absolutely lost.

Can't wait to end this tournament so they can feck this shite manager off.
 
I've been told I'm wrong about this opinion so many times. Honestly as a nation we don't understand central midfield at all.
Because teams don't teach young players basics of being a central midfielder.

People have laughed at me for saying that a player like McTominay is no worse than Rice. I don't know how a manager like Southgate can play a right back as central midfielder. And someone in managment needs to have a word with Bellingham that he has not conquered the world. Still just a talent.
 
Can Southgate be sacked for Tuchel, we may have a chance
 
Abysmal. No midfield and relying on mistakes or Foden dribbling past 3 players. We are lucky to be level.
