Round of 16 | England vs Slovakia | Spain vs Georgia

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Englands game plan seems to get it wide and chuck crosses in. Can they not pass through… at least for variety.

 

[Offside]

Rice stop taking all year!

 

[Toblerone92]

To do what?

Pass it sideways of course.

 

[HTG]

Is Kane just bad in this tournament or this season on the whole? Is Bundesliga stat padding making him look better?

He was very god for us. But he looked a little tired at the end of the season.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

When will HorseFace take a chance and some risk FFS

The day after the four horsemen of the Apocalypse ride into town

 

[Pexbo]

Reminds me of Moyes’ match where we insisted on floating cross after cross in when none of them are in the slightest bit threatening.

Is Kane just bad in this tournament or this season on the whole? Is Bundesliga stat padding making him look better?

He’s exhausted and not fully fit, same as Bellingham, etc.

 

[rimaldo]

Get trent on ffs

southgate can’t keep up. first it’s drop trent. then it’s bring him on. he’s nothing more than a politician, swaying whichever way the breeze of the common man takes him. he does not have an original thought in his body. please be consistent in your calls.

 

[Superunknown]

Gotta say that Declan Rice has been massively disappointing. Been disappointed with both him and Stones today. The one game you need players to step up. Expected more from both of them.

No it’s this team and manager. No one supplying him. He was decent for Bayern.

 

[littlepeasoup]

Limping out. Seething.

 

[top1whoisman]

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Why is Walker still on this pitch. He's been absolutely shocking

 

[Leg-End]

Going home in 15 mins and he still refuses to risk

 

[AltiUn]

I hope INEOS are watching because Southgate should categorically not ever be under consideration for United manager

 

[Hoof the ball]

Led Dixon is a disgrace. Every time England get a soft freekick its a yellow, every time Slovakia player stays down it's dark arts.

 

[Canucantona20]

Rice is slow on the ball

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Rice isn’t someone you’re wanting on the ball as much as England seem to give him. Far too many touches.

 

[LDUred]

Rolled his ankle trying to foul Palmer

 

[Skills]

Is Kane just bad in this tournament or this season on the whole? Is Bundesliga stat padding making him look better?

He started the season on fire and then eventually fizzled out. That's the risk of spending big on someone around his age - you just don't know when they'll drop off

 

[Nico87]

Needs Gordon for Foden to get some direct running behind.

 

[Teja]

Trent at RB presumably. Definitely not at CM.

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

Any time any England player takes the initiative and runs at the defense, it has been working. Bellingham basically waltzed into the box and then put in a bad cross. It's the little short passes that try to emulate tika-taka that don't work. The skilled players need to take them on.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

These Slovaks are embarrassing themselves with this time wasting.

 

[fps]

Our attackers are turning up in random positions on the pitch minute to minute. It’s not because they’re our tactics, it’s because they’re trying to make it up as they go along.

 

[Zen]

Why is Declan Rice just standing there.... and why is Mainoo having to tell him(/demand) to move into space?

 

[Glorio]

To do what?

Not what Walker's doing

 

[calodo2003]

Reminds me of Moyes’ match where we insisted on floating cross after cross in when none of them are in the slightest bit threatening.

v. Fulham, wasn't it? Some crazy number of crosses that day.

 

[Theon]

To do what?

Offers loads more on the ball than Walker

 

[T_Model101]

Christ alive, why has he not hauled off Kane, Bellingham and Foden yet?

 

[Wilt]

Get up time wasting cnut

Cant be in that much pain, then carry on playing

 

[Pscholes18]

He's not going to replace Foden for Gordon is he?

 

[Lyricist]

These Slovaks are embarrassing themselves with this time wasting.

Did you see his ankle?

 

[diarm]

Have England had a real chance in this game yet? Has the Slovakia keeper made a save of note?

 

[FrankDrebin]

Why is Walker still on this pitch. He's been absolutely shocking

Agree. He's offered nothing.

Any time any England player takes the initiative and runs at the defense, it has been working. Bellingham basically waltzed into the box and then put in a bad cross. It's the little short passes that try to emulate tika-taka that don't work. The skilled players need to take them on.

Far too much respect for the oppo, run at them.

 

[Redlambs]

He's not even talking to the players there!

feck off you spineless vulture looking soggy piece of bog roll.

 

[TrailMonkey]

I’m starting to visualise Safegate’s presser when we’ve gone out - “… we really missed Kalvin Phillips.”

 

[Scriblerus]

On the bright side, this tournament surely means that Southgate will ever manage us. Or possibly anyone, ever again.

 

[Josep Dowling]

All the City and Arsenal players have been atrocious. At least the media can’t have ago at United players.
