That defence is terrified of pace. That's why I said that when England was 1-0 up they should have replaced Kane with Sancho or Rashy. Italy with a high line would struggle against that

Imagine the reception if going onto AC Milan website then wanting Italy to lose…..
Chiellini kissing his wrist after that Going to be a tough 30 minutes for England if they don't push up a bit more.
Going to be a tough 30 minutes for England if they don't push up a bit more.Done nothing, given away freekicks and lost that Italian (even though goalside of him) who got the header just before the goal
Surprised Insigne went off as he was actually better out wide, Belotti on.
Italy increased the tempo tenfold and the England players weren't prepared for it.
Should've replaced Mount with Sancho on the first half. Lucky Chiesa has gone off.
Also a City fan, enough said.
Jesus? He didn't play last night for Brazil so was obviously waiting for the game tonight.
shameful that they offered so little going forward up a goal. tactical changes too late after Italy started the 2nd half looking much better. Looks like no changes to start E.T. for England.
Henderson, Kane, Trippier, Sancho and Saka.
Should've been brought on when England was 1-0 up. Not many around who are better at getting those runs in behind to relieve the pressure. Italy was pushing so high up. And Rashford has a great big game record. Saka was just a weird choice completely.
No subs?
You're getting a tad bit ridiculous here. Saka is an exciting prospect, but Sancho and Grealish are a hell of a lot more proven than him, and are currently streets ahead.
looks like Italy will try to defend the 1-1, Belotti going in.
Can’t take Berardi or Bernardeschi off as they’re fresher.
It's always the most docile coaches that lead England. I don't get it
Still no subs. What's the fecking point in taking a squad if you're not gonna use it?
There ain't gonna be a middle with Southgate He'll be hailed as a genius or he will be destroyed
He'll be hailed as a genius or he will be destroyedBecause they don't track back enough. Southgate is unbelievably negative.
Southgates subs straight out of Oles play book
Hmm I think this has a Kane penalty to win in wrtten all over it.
don't trust belotti
England's midfield can't control shit. Every single build ends with a hoof or comes from the left with Shaw.
Christ the anti England on here …...
yeh but right foot finishes in one training session for England
Get over here you little twat
ClassicEven Jenas can see that we need to make changes.
Come on Gareth time to grow a pair and bring on a decent attacker. We're struggling for opportunities and we have Grealish, Sancho and Rashford sitting on the bench doing nothing.
Why do the fans sing the National Anthem during the game? Is there any other countries fans that does that?
No changes?? Deserve to lose. Idiotic.
England were piss poor in the second half, just sat back and let Italy hammer them for 45 mins. England, show some fecking passion for once! Not going to win anything playing like that.
Ref should be handing out Red cards to any pundit using the cliche 'dig deep'.

Southgate is being annoyingly cowardly exactly when it matters most.
Be hard as two of those aren't on the pitch
Ah man Ole and Southgate will shorten my life
I think it’s a smart substitution. Get more balance in the front three again and a target man centrally to give the attack a focal point if needs be.
Fecking hell, even Jenas is starting to talk some sense.
Ole would need to start the entire U18 squad to have half the quality on the bench that Southgate does.
That's blatant cheating by Henderson.
