Round of 16 | England vs Slovakia | Spain vs Georgia

[AltiUn]

Has Gareth been studying ETH's 'vacate the middle of the pitch' system? Because that's what it looks like.

No, Rice has just taken that upon himself because he’s useless

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Why do they keep playing on when an opponent is clearly hurt? Disgraceful!

Probably because they never are… got up instantly when ref went over.

 

[Mike Smalling]

Slovakia are not in this game at all. It will be a shock if England don't score from here.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Turkish ref. They hate the English. Simples

There is a club chairman in Turkey who does not like this ref.

 

[Gycraig]

Why do they keep playing on when an opponent is clearly hurt? Disgraceful!

oh look the ball was kicked out and hes up 2 seconds later …

 

[Superunknown]

Second half is passing us by. Nearly 70th minute.

 

[Doracle]

Foden has had a really bad match.

 

[Offside]

Foden has been absolutely feckin shit

 

[Pexbo]

How’s Foden still on?

 

[Fortitude]

Take Foden off, ffs!

 

[Cheech Wizard]

Foden’s terrible, needs hauling

 

[Josep Dowling]

Whole team is shocking. There has to be a mental block with England.

 

[RedSky]

That cross. Bloody hell.

 

[Plant0x84]

This is poor AF. We don’t deserve to go any further.
Kane looks to have forgotten how to play football. Stockport Phil is rubbish. Saka has been anonymous. Yawn.

 

[Robertd0803]

Can pretty much say Saka being moved to left back as an offensive change wasnt on my bingo card.

 

[DevilRed]

Dont worry lads. We're going to win it on pens.

 

[Chairman Steve]

What’s the tally on overhit crosses and aerial forward passes for England at the moment?

 

[rimaldo]

foden better get the treatment usually reserved for united players when we’re knocked out of tournaments.

 

[Gfooty]

Slovakia can't keep up with England anymore .. the goal will come soon.

We should score now or at least creating something better.

England goal feels inevitable now.

Literally not a single shot on goal yet

 

[Hammondo]

Foden has had a really bad match.

But nowhere near the worst.

 

[sidsutton]

such poor delivery on the crosses

 

[Nicolarra90]

Foden thinks he is way better than he is

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Bukayo Saka insists he is not the answer to England’s left-back issues

Looks like you have to be sunshine.

 

[Canucantona20]

Get Foden off please

 

[BaguetteBoy]

Why we keep crossing the ball. Kane can’t jump

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

England are not playing like this is a must-win game. 70th minute and it ain't working, Southgate fiddles.

 

[2 man midfield]

Zzzzz

 

[FrankDrebin]

Our crosses are not good.

 

[Theon]

Like the Saka sub.. should have started him there with Palmer right wing

Agree with Neville at half-time Trent should be on for Walker. We’ve got so much of the ball and he’s not doing anything with it. We need a goal.

 

[Widow]

Bellingham, Foden and Kane need to come off. They have been poor in this game and the entire tournament

 

[moses]

It’s fraudulent to claim to have a clue about managing a football team when it’s patently obvious you haven’t the foggiest.

At least the tabloid journos have the excuse of being paid to spew hyperbole.

 

[VorZakone]

70th minute and there is no siege on the Slovak goal. Where the feck is the urgency?

 

[Verminator]

Everything dies with Foden.

 

[Lennon7]

How is Foden still on the pitch jaysus

 

[Rojofiam]

Fair play. I’ve never been a fan of this though. Just chucking forwards at the problem often has them getting in each others way. I mean, what ‘system’ is this now?

It's still like putting Gareth Bale at left back in 2014

 

[Sly]

Time to put some money on an England win.

 

[Toblerone92]

I understood that as being a little tounge in cheek

It probably was, I just hate Lee Dixon. Blows my mind that he is still commentating.

 

[DJ_21]

Biggest mistake was going into this tournament with Southgate. We knew Klopp was leaving Liverpool. Should have sacked Southgate and asked Klopp if he wanted to manage us for a tournament.

 

[fps]

Terrible ball from Mainoo.

 

[Reapersoul20]

never a penalty btw
