In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are joined by special guest Anders (@Lyng) to celebrate the news that ETH is staying put! They also talk about the Euros so far, with special attention on England, Scotland and Denmark. They then finish with some transfer talk and the potential comings and outgoings at Old Trafford.
Get a goal after 18 minutes then sit back and invite the opposition on. It's beyond my ken that's for sure. I know the pace of the game at this level is not what it is in a league match but there seems to be a lack of urgency in the England side. As for this midfield set-up, we might pay for this in the 2nd half.
If only they had a natural genius at creation and never wasting the ball just sitting on the bench….
It is the case - despite you thinking he's England's second best manager after Sir Alf Ramsey. We have had our recent set of good results despite him being in charge, not because of him.
If Man Utd ever appoint Southagte, you all need to stop watching football. And I'm serious about that.
Baffling. How can Southgate look in the mirror? While I think that this squad is overrated by the english media it has to do so much better. Scoring one goal and sitting back at minute 10 is absolutely wild.
I assume you mean in an England shirt? Cos you could say that about pretty much all our players.
Or do you just never watch Arsenal play?
totally agree still don’t think he’s a number 10. Horseface is sacrificing the team for the player rather than the other war round.
It’s about time the “pundits” called out this shit setup from Gareth. It all comes from him.
Typical systems player. Looks good in a system he's trained to play in, can't perform out of that limited one dimension system.
Kane not getting a lot of love from the pundits for being a lazy shit
Italy won the last Euros with Emerson Palmieri at left back. At these tournaments having a balanced side is better than trying to shove the 11 best available players onto the pitch.
Lineker saying a truth . Kane is static . At some point it might be worth playing Bellingham there for 70 mins to run his nuts off . Isn't that how Madrid used him ?
Can anybody tell me why the feck is Foden shooting from anywhere on the pitch everytime he gets the ball???
I concur.
Just thank the English FA for their narrow mindedness.
Sick of Linekar sucking Kane off, the man is Tottenham personified. He went to Bayern and didn't win the league.
To quote the great Kevin Keegan: "I would LOVE it"
Except Shearer doesn't try to be poetic with it.
At least whatever Shearer took, he’s enjoying himself.Which is more shit, England's "midfield" or Shearer's commentating?
Yeah, I don’t watch England as much as most on here but to me it always looks like they’d be better with a more dynamic striker, like Watkins.
I don't buy that. We weren't looking good before the 1-0 lead either. Here's the thing so far in 3 halves of football we've scored 2 goals both quite lucky as well. 1 deflected cross and one mistake by the defender followed by multiple deflections on a pass.
Even when we are controlling the ball, we're toothless. Compare this to the amount of chances Germany/Spain create against teams that sit deep it's night and day.
Because our right side hasn't been dead?
Why the feck is Kane everywhere but up front?
TAA is invisible. He provides nothing. Foden has been slightly better. Overall we are poor though.
And you can still have them. You can't have good results if the players aren't fit
He’s played a couple of stunning 5/6 yard sideways passes
He slated him for not pressing. Rio was the one glazing Kane. What are you watching?
Hjulmand's goal is better every time you see it. Shades of Scholes.
Problem is also overrating this squad and players. Some players don't belong in the team. Some players don't belong in starting eleven. To make average players big players is not solution.
Yeah agreed. Foden's had some shocking shots, missed passes etc, but he looks like the only one out there who's eaten his weetabix. Everyone else is half asleep.
What the feck is balance?
You’ve contradicted yourself from the 3rd to the 4th sentence.
Arnold is a horrendous CM and I’ve been saying for a long time Kane is pointless coming deep. Trent, Foden and Kane should be out of the team but we know it will never happen.
This team with any of the actual CMs on the bench with Gordon/Eze and Watkins would be far far better.

I refuse to believe that anyone at United actually wanted this wet wipe of a manager at our club.
I can see why Southgate was rumoured to be Ineos pick for the United job. Start ok, score, sit back, begin looking nervous, concede, and then hang on for a result. Very United-esque.
Id rather have moyes back
Should really get Mainoo on, need a bit of penetration in MF.
What are the odds the horse faced rat will not change anything for the second half?
Lineker and Rio critical of Kane... right to an extent but this reeks of Southgate just trying not to lose. Get Palmer on for Arnold, brings extra energy and enthusiasm. Performance reminds me of United: get goal, sit back... and concede
