Except every single one of those players on the pitch would probably start for Manchester United... 2 of Uniteds players play for the other team.
Day 7 | Slovenia vs Serbia | Denmark vs England | Spain vs Italy

I think he's a bit slow. For the rest he seems to be a decent player
He doesn’t do anything.
Lineker surprisingly.
This whole "now here's some analysis by someone standing on the pitch" thing never makes sense
Because they are so limited in their tactical abilty. Setting a team up to be defensive is much easier.
The RTE lot are trying to be professional.
Absolutely- trying to make kane the scapegoat is absurd, the entire setup of the team is awful. One man to blame.
The media and pundits are very late to the party on it because of their Sir Gareth MBE narrative, what a statesman he is, lovely soundbites on contentious issues, good vibes in the England camp, and all that crap.
But I dont think your average England fan rates Gareth at all. He's lucked out on a world class little group of players coming through together, and gifted easy runs in the last two tournaments.
Something no England manager has ever considered.
For another 20mins at least. He wouldn’t want to hurt his feeling. Maybe Trent should sub himself
This half just makes me even more relieved Ten Hag kept his job and kept us further away from Southgate managing Utd. It would be the end of days.
It'll be over soon enough when England are knocked out in the elimination rounds anyways. This team isn't winning shite
I was going to post the same thing. He's not exactly helping today but the team need to be better at progressing play to get him involved more
Not sure what you are watching. He is a rabbit in headlights out there. Need an actual midfielder there.
Guarantee he makes zero changes at half time.
England's no 1 problem is the manager. I mean Trent in CM. Come on!
Even more so when you plonk Foden out there, who naturally wants to drift in. So you've got a LB who naturally wants to come in due to his right foot, and Foden who also naturally wants to come centrally.
There is no left flank, its not just broken, its non-existent.
You can see it a mile away. Bellingham/Foden is the new Lampard/Gerrard debate. I think you can get the best out of one or the other, not both.
… When you’re a key component in the middle of the pitch, you are intrinsic to the structure of the team. You also said 2 or 3 players, not seeming to recognise cause and effect.

Bellainis been absent as well.
Is that finally some sense coming from Rio and Micah?
He was saying "but he's the best finisher of all time" when talking about his shocking pass which led to their goal
1) no he's not
2) who cares
Agreed. Southgate isn't a coach
They're all questioning Kane. Micah straight up side he wants Watkins on in the 2nd half. Rio is saying take him off right as I've typed this out.
How are these pundits thinking Kane is the issue??
Are you sure? Cos some clown on here a few days ago was telling me Trent doesn’t play right back for Liverpool.
But yeah the Trent and Trippier situation is vile. How can you play three players out of position? When you literally have players who have played in their position sitting on the bench.
He hasn't changed anything. What a cnut.
Trent still on. Wow.
Not really. They’re only going after Southgate and Kane. No mention of Foden, Trent, Bellingham….all being useless in that half
He is one of the issues.
I keep saying, the quicker southgate realises Kobbie has to partner Rice, the more chance England have.
You definitely can, their way more versatile players, they just need to be coached. it's clear as day they've not been given any attacking instructions. We've been playing football from 2005.
Why bother with TAA in midfield when you have better option on the bench?
No changes…..unreal
That’s very un-BBC like to be criticising the manager
All that's happened at half time is that Kane has left Rio's ' watsap group '
All this individual talent and they're out there looking like Serbia. Any success they'll achieve will be despite Southgate. Likewise with Portugal and Martinez.
Southgate will only make changes if England go behind, this system clearly isn't working, why would we think we can challenge the way we are playing? Might be a good thing for England to lose this game, might be the only way Southgate will change things.
Luke Shaw best win the Ballon d'0r when he returns and leads this England team to glory.
