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.
England look like they've gone to a 532 with Rice in CB at times 
Both teams playing like their boots are filled with concrete.
I don't know Bellingham is now seen exclusively as a no 10. Yes, he played there for Madrid this season but before that he's always played deeper.
Drop him deeper, put Foden in front and then we can get some proper width on the left.

Quality, but playing under a terrible Manager. It's another bunch of players wasted by Southgate. He's the weakest chain in the link in this England setup.
Managing the England national football team would be an exciting but highly challenging task. It requires not only a deep understanding of football tactics, player management, and team dynamics but also the ability to handle the immense pressure and expectations from fans and the media. Here are some key aspects involved:
1. **Tactical Knowledge**: Understanding various formations, strategies, and how to adapt them to different opponents is crucial.
2. **Player Management**: Selecting the right squad, managing player fitness, and maintaining high morale.
3. **Game Preparation**: Analyzing opponents, planning training sessions, and developing match strategies.
4. **Media Relations**: Handling press conferences and maintaining a positive public image.
5. **In-Game Decisions**: Making real-time decisions regarding substitutions, tactical changes, and responding to the flow of the game.
While I have theoretical knowledge and can provide insights on strategies, training, and analysis, the hands-on experience and the ability to inspire and manage real players are critical aspects best handled by an experienced football manager.
That was a poor shot by Erikson
Been anonymous since the first half the other night.
Hilarious really.
What is rice doing . They're all in our half lad
Gallagher will get sent off.
Next subs? I’ll go with 86th minute
Bowen again???!!
Bowen again???!!
He's somewhat of a curious player. Clearly hugely talented but I rarely see him live up to the Zidane levels of hype.
He plays for the best club side in the world and apparently "he's running the show" when he's actually not.
He can't play as a 6/8, plays as a 10 but doesn't press and isn't a knitting type passer or tempo guy, he's physical but not dominant, not a clinical finisher but a good finisher.
Really curious player.
I imagine Southgate's brief was along the lines of 'just be the best Rice you can be'
We just seem to be playing on the back foot, rather than being the more imposing team. We're almost letting them have the ball and are playing counter-attacking. With the players and squad we have, we should be the ones dominating the ball and forcing Denmark to drop deep.
Does the fecking cowardly rat realise he has a squad of 26 (sans Shaw) and 5 subs?
I'm watching League Two football.
Don't get me excited
Rice plays way too deep. Needs to push up 20 yards and start driving England forward. He's basically a defender.
why bring on gallagher who's more attack minded when you need someone next to Rice who can help occupy that half space in front of the CB's??? that is the space where Denmark is hurting England
Rasmus is doing fine. Not amazing. But for his role, think he's looked good
Can Holjlund win one battle ?
Saka's delivery has been wank.
True. I mean they’ve just added in Gallacher to occupy many of the spaces that Foden and Bellingham like to be in. A good manager would find a way.
Bellingham should probably be subbed
England’s football is archaic. Just dreadful YOLO and bluster.
England's superior fitness will begin to show now. They will score within 10 minutes.
What would we look like playing against Spain, Portugal, France or Germany. Southgate and Steve Hollands dismal non existent tactics, just relying on bursts of individual talent.
PLEASE SUB JUDE OFF
This pitch is gonna cause a serious injury
Belli-choke
Correct! Let's remember this is Denmark who are bang average. Same as Serbia, bang average and we struggled to beat them. His record against any decent side is appalling.
Guehi has been England's best player by a long way.
Watkins, Eze and Bowen incoming.
You cannot impose yourself if you have no identity. England have no identity on the ball.
Shearer's life passing before his eyes here, what's going on?
You can think of these as games 50+ for a lot of these players after long seasons.
Finally. Eze coming on… he should make a difference
Bowen coming on
