These feckers still can’t keep the ball, they’re not as good as everyone thinks they are without a certain profile of player, but this 1-0 and sit back nonsense still needs to stop.

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.
That pass by Kane for their goal was so so poor
He's going to keep TAA on isn't he?
It's annoying that Southgate is suddenly giving Trent the time of day, it's so obviously costly and not working.
Alan Shearer called out people who questioned Kane after he scored a goal.
Then you see his part in the goal England conceded, dropping so deep to get on the ball from a throw in of all things. Then later in the half he is trying to be Messi on the edge of his defensive area and tries dribbling out.
He scores goals, but hampers England in how he drops deep too often and can't engage in a press.

Probably something along the lines of ‘we’re still in control’.
Southgate coursing through the veins of this team. He is a loser.
Rio had a moan about him too?
Richards just ignored that and got excited about him being a great goal scorer.
Bring Rashford on and leave him high on the left for the outlet... oh wait.
Well, that is kind of how an international team works.
Er, no. TAA can be poor and the team can be structurally poor.
This England performance is so similar United all season. Players who we all no are good, suddenly looking so poor. Players like Rice, Foden, Walker, Stones, Saka, TAA and Belingham all play free flowing football for thier clubs with great one touch play but now suddenly can't deal with the press nor can make any sort of passes.
TAA for me has been a waste. He has barely been involved in attack and is not really good defensively. His teammates are barely passing to him. He isn't making himself available either.
Really need to bring on Mainoo to help retain possession and make some quick one touch play.

Very obviously. Southgate is one of the worst managers I've ever seen.
Southgate's ability to make a player as good as Foden look completely ineffective is impressive.
Alexander-Arnold shouldn't be playing in midfield. He doesn't play there for us (starts at RB and drifts in which is completely different). Trippier at LB limits England's options down that side with the ball.
Such a dull manager.

Also just doesn't offer any sort of running in behind threat, which with this wingers is exactly what you need.
When he was camping up front against Serbia he touched the ball once in 45 minutes or something. This team is completely incapable of giving him service if he plays like an out and out striker.
If Ratcliffe even for a second truly thought of Southgate replacing ETH, he should f*ck off right now
It is my understanding that the English are quite dissatisfied with Gareth Southgate's managerial work?
Sir Waistcoat has the pick of the crop and still makes England’s midfield look even worse than ours. Well done sir!
That graphic they just showed about England's average positionings before the goal compared with afterwards is damning. That's on the manager. We've got to be more ruthless and go for that second and third goals. You can't just defend 1-0s forever, you will get found out and fall short somewhere.
Understatement of the year.
My point is they don’t seem to have undergone any kind of coaching the way they are playing
Is anyone remotely surprised?
I’m not.
We are getting schooled by Denmark.
This is 100% on Southgate and his complete incompetence

Yeah, the left flank is broken. Obvious issue before the tournament.
If the BBC thought ETH was harsh on Southgate they should have heard Guus Hiddink. 
Because England have been on defensive. He don't do that mumbo jumbo stuff.
Yeah, but us Welsh, Scots and Irish are very happy with it, so he should probably get another couple of tournaments.
They just remind me of Manchester United so much
To be fair this match has reminded me alot of Moyes last season, alot of getting the goal and then just defending what you have, hoping for the counter. Mind you at least with West Ham last year there was some structure to our attacking lineup, at the moment that feels like its lacking with England.
Good people.. the best people..
He'll leave it and make a change on 65mins. If we're ahead, closer to 75mins.
Agreed, should be a pundit, has no business coaching.
Who questioned Kane?
I can’t stand all the coverage.
They (Rio, Gary, Micah) have such a hard on for the so called elite players that they darent say anything to criticise them. It’s infuriating. Especially when the same players they’ve been bigging up all season…(Gordon, Eze, Mainoo, Palmer, Wharton) are sat on the bench

It is too. But at least they try.
Always thought it was delusional to think this team could win the tournament. It's Gerrard Lampard part two: electric boogaloo. You can't have your cake and eat it. Other teams have done this for years and dropped massive players to fit the style and the team better.
Southgate on the other hand is taking advice and listening to this rubbish of "you can't drop trent and foden" who says? They're system players, they've done nothing for England.

He's terrified to ever make a bold call of benching "names" for the actual right profile a team needs, or employing a more bold tactic. Even down to immediately turning to Gallagher off the bench for Trent last game even though Gallagher is probably the worst CM in the squad but offers "passion and fight".
Agreed and even though Watkins was pretty shite in a recent friendly he offers that and drifts along the whole front line to interchange.
RTE have James McClean doing pundit on the England game
