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

7 shots on target. They had the opportunities just fecked it up. As I said, they'll be disappointed they didn't win.

I would have saved the same 6 out of 7 Pickford did. Denmark huffed and puffed but created no real chances. They should be disappointed with the result considering England were utter hot garbage.
 
:lol: England. Favourites for the tournament :smirk:

Looking forward to Italy vs Spain. First match between 2 top sides at the Euros so far.
 
Best job in football?
He’s shit but has been in the job for 8 years and is paid extremely handsomely.

Spend the best part of two years beating shite teams in qualifying and travelling across Europe all expenses paid to watch players he has no clue on how to use.

It’s an awesome gig.
 
In international football? Their job is to not feck up the call ups, keep the players happy, create a good emvironment, then send your best team out and get the feck out of the way.

There is a number of factors involved during the game, picking the best squad, getting the best out of players who you have for a limited time, tactics, responding to the other team, making effective subs, changing tactics in the middle of the game. To think its just players running around is silly.
 
If Micah Richard’s doesn’t cut those angles in his hair, does he just have no forehead?
 
The back 5 is generally ok defensively but not great offensively. The midfield is a disaster - Trent is a fish out of water, Bellingham is doing a Stevie Me impression and Rice looked pissed today. Upfront Kane is a problem (an immobile goal scorer like late era Shearer) while Foden is clearly talented but out of position.

Four tournaments in and Southgate serves up disjointed, chaotic performances like Jackson Pollock dripping dogshit on a pristine white England shirt.
 
Kane basically saying they don’t know what Southgate is asking them to do.
 
Foden is average without the city players making him look much better than he is.

Which was my point.

For what it's worth, people who are pissed right now should be directing that not at Southgate. But the FA and media for continuing to support a man that clearly was inept at his job. Should have gone four years ago after that horrific Final against Italy.
 
Loved him saying that we got a result tonight…it was a scraping the barrel draw.

I mean is he just on automatic. Does he think we've won?

1-1 is if anything flattering to us. Denmark were the stronger, if still not great.
 
Walker claiming it's just tournament football (he kept repeating that for some reaon) and it was a deserved draw. Ignoring the fact that they played terribly.
 
He was awful. He should watch an entire 80 minutes of the game with the cameras following Hjulmand who was much better
He should play the next game on the bench. He was worse that Rolstan was for Scotland last night.
 
Shift Bellingham to 8, Foden to 10 and bring probably Eze into LW.

Stop bringing Gallagher on in any circumstances and use Mainoo or TAA as the change option. Also get Palmer on at RW if you are going to sub Saka.
 
Southgate just genuinely said that England are struggling to replace Kalvin Phillips.

You need Gordon on the LW. Eze will just cut inside and get in the way of Foden/Kane
 
Southgate on TAA: “It is an experiment, we know it’s an experiment and we have to try things because we don’t have a natural replacement for Kalvin Phillips”.

I mean there’s your answer. A manager who has one system and is stuck without a the players to play it. Clueless.

He’s got two naturally gifted CMs, comfortable on the ball, great passers and he’s choosing to play a right back.
