Let's hope the real England turn up, but I fear that under Southgate we seem to be more concerned with the defensive side of the game, which limits our attacking options.
We have some really talented players who for whatever reason haven't during this tournament got anywhere near their club form. Maybe if Southgate would play players in their proper positions it may pay dividends.
Phil Foden was unbelievable in the No 10 role for Man City with plenty of goals and assists, but for some strange reason Southgate plays him wide left.
Bellingham has been sensational for Real and can play in the 10 role or the 6 role equally effectively, I think Palmer is a better option wide right than Saka and I don't think Kane is 100% fti.
I would be happy with Watkins up top, he has pace which always worries defenders. I also wish I could get Eze into the starting line up as he always excites me every time I watch him always looks to g forward and take people on.
I would suggest Southgate take the handbrake off let Rice sit in front of the back 4 and give Bellingham a free role to go forward when appropriate.

Pickford looked to hurt his hand in the warm up?

Did the same before the Denmark game, Andrew.
All psychological. England players look like they're going to a funeral.

One change.
Southgate is a buffoon.

Looks like Pickford damaged his little finger. Heavily strapped during the anthem.

Trippier gets that great ball from Walker then does nothing with it then sets up Guehi to get booked.

Cheap yellow cards these. This ref must have a new set of cards he wants to show off!

We aren't going to end with 11

Walker is having a fecking 'mare; my feelings about the gozzy-eyed capitalist twat are now hurricane 4.
The knobhead looks like the neighbour you have a natter over the fence with while he fondles his gladiolus.

At least they scored before we go down to 10 men so Southgate can't blame the ref

Sean Dyche next? Stranger things.
Posted
30/06/2024 at
17:31:13
Yeah, Guehi is great, isn't he. I'm almost enjoying Southgate's humiliation. Four times now he has picked this team. Four times. Guehi needs subbing; injury, card, ans he's been shite. Where's the wonder kid Bellingham when you need him? Foden is good at shooting life-forming jizz but not on German pitches.
Posted
30/06/2024 at
17:31:24
This England team isn't very good.
Posted
30/06/2024 at
17:32:21
Does anyone have a clue what the plan is?
Posted
30/06/2024 at
17:33:22
The 3 city players and trippier have been atrocious. And I don't blame the players for this. This is on Southgate.
Posted
30/06/2024 at
17:36:15
Not only did Southgate take an injured left back and and injured rightback, he then plays the injured rightback at left back. Baffling, totally, totally baffling.
Couldn't make it up. If Taylor was turnip head, Southgate is a swede head.

When we have the ball they're all static. Nobody moving, nobody making themselves available and nobody making a run. It's shite.

17:38:45
Hitting long diagonals at those noted target men Foden and Saka.
Posted
30/06/2024 at
17:39:02
The plan is "all stand around knocking the ball sideways and backwards whilst nobody runs forward at all"........ as ever in this day and age.
It's the equivalent of a tennis player solely concentrating on returning the ball without ever trying to hit a winner, just hoping your opponent is crappier than you.
Turgid, to put it mildly.

Belgium had its 'golden generation ' but were badly managed, not coached because international management is more about tactics and formations. That being said, with a couple of changes I'm England will get back into this.

Get Palmer and Gordon on, take off Bellingham and Saka and move Foden into the 10 role.
Give it 15 mins then swap out Kane for Watkins.
Posted
30/06/2024 at
17:55:19
Even the Wally with the Brolly was smart enough to realize it was a good idea to stick a left sided midfielder (Barry) in midfield to provide balance versus the Frank/Slippy combo. Southgates only innovation as boss was working on powering corners at Maguire head and that was 6 years ago.
Posted
30/06/2024 at
17:58:11
Southgate was shite as a player and he's more shite as a manager now.

Kieran, good to hear it, sounds like she is in good health
Posted
30/06/2024 at
18:00:07
Stating the obvious - how smart do you look now mine's a half not taking Branthwaite or Grealish?
Kieran weighs his dog's shits, that's not right.
Posted
30/06/2024 at
18:03:34
Rice alongside a roving Bellingham and Foden in the no10 role.
Palmer should be on the left and Gordon on the right and get Kane off for the more mobile Watkins.
Oh and Southgate out
Posted
30/06/2024 at
18:05:44
No changes just shows how poor you have to play to stay in this game with this manager. And we criticize Dyche

Posted
30/06/2024 at

Beyond belief Neil. He's more stubborn than Moyes and Dyche rolled into one.
Offside by a mile and Foden could have been two yards back easily.
Posted
30/06/2024 at
18:14:50
Trippier should have taken the shot, and Foden should have held his run. The defender was right in his eyeline.

I'm confused as an EPL watcher I thought the job of the ref is to fabricate a way for the “big†team to win.

Yes Mike. Desperately.

I usually yell, "GET UP" at 99% of the flopping idiots conning the ref.
That Trippier tackle hurt. That was nasty and I don't blame him going down in the least. That freaking looked painful.

Great question. That was nasty. Not sure how in the world that wasn't a yellow.

I think the ref left his cards in the changing room at half time

How in the world has Palmer been left off the pitch? He's been England's best player every time he's been out there.

Bellingham could have seen yellow right there. Really weak dive.

Actually to be fair might be legit? I dunno.

Everything breaks down with Rice. Should've taken Phillips.
Posted
30/06/2024 at

No, Tony. The only shot on goal in the entire game has been Slovakia's goal.

Gordon for Foden whose delivery has been poor so far unlike his "partner"

Is it just me or is Bellingham not the all conquering force we're left to believe?

He should take a centre half off and risk 3 at the back. Slovakia won't leave their half again.
Posted
30/06/2024 at
18:39:20
Too right Anthony #117, Bellingham seems to have believed his own hype. Gordon and Bowen should be on the flanks with Palmer pulling the strings at No 10.
Posted
30/06/2024 at
18:39:25
Wash your mouth out Anthony. He's the greatest player the world has ever seen. It's Southgate who makes him look a pudn. Bit like that free header 'carry just fluffed. It's cos Southgate is a Tory. Apparently.

Walker's playing like he's had one shag too many
Posted
30/06/2024 at

This all comes from not taking a fit, left-footed left-back. Tyrick Mitchell should have been on the plane to Germany. Instead, Mr Bold Choices decided to take an injured left-back and an aging right-back. The team is utterly unbalanced. Gordon should have started, with Palmer starting on the right.
Instead, England have been absolute dogshit.

Southgate has to go without a doubt.
Playing almost the same starting eleven showed that he has no balls and as per usual
They struggled until he had to make changes but by then Slovakia should have put the game out of reach.

I'm relieved for Gareth Southgate, because the abuse he'd have received would have been absolutely bleak.
That being said, he's absolutely fucked up this tournament, on tactics, on selection, on preparation. He's taken injured players, he's stubbornly refused to play an on-form Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon. He's fucked up so many decisions.
Someone on here today threw up Klopp as a candidate as the next manager. If I was English, I'd be delighted with him as manager, because he'd get so much more from the national pool than Southgate, who's out of time, no matter how far they go.

Southgate was 30 seconds from being absolutely slaughtered, but he still hasn't a clue.
He played Eze and Saka at left back, the Shaw gamble was ridiculous at international level, and not bringing a left-sided player like Branthwaite will come back to haunt him.

I stopped watching in disgust when Slovakia scored.
I think Stones had took 2 Lorazepans, it was all so slow at the back, I don't know what the hell he was doing. In fact, none of our defenders look worth two bob.

I said right from the off that Southgate was not good enough to manage England and somehow he has been very lucky to survive all these years.
How England are still in this competition is a miracle and no thanks to Southgate.
His squad selection and starting eleven selections have shown a complete lack of footballing intelligence.
Yes, there is a hardcore of players who we all would have picked but right from the start he goofed big time with the ''Trent'' experiment and didn't correct it for the next match. The centre-back pairing is woeful and how Guehi got in the side is beyond me.
Eze and Palmer should have been starters as people like Foden and Saka have not performed despite great Premiership form and Mainoo is not ready for the World stage.
England have been playing as poorly as any team can in a competition of this magnitude but they are still there and even poor teams win cup competitions when the luck is with them. Go figure!

Billy@268, I think he's waiting for the players ahead of him to use a little bit of football intelligence, by getting in those little pockets and finding some space. One of the major problems seems to be that Harry Kane, is coming into those area's, instead of trying to stay further up the pitch, and everything has become condensed.
Slow and ponderous, no real fluency, horrible to watch and very easy to play against, is how I constantly view this England team, at the moment.
It's no use getting out of jail if you're not prepared to rehabilitate yourself because there's only one place you are going if you don't!!
Posted
01/07/2024 at
08:27:52
We are missing Maguire as an aerial threat at set pieces.
We have no width when we have the ball. Even with left footed Saka at LB he was constantly coming infield rather than staying on the touchline.
We are not working hard enough in possession. We press hard for the ball when we lose possession - but are static in possession. Bellingham is very guilty of this. He had another very poor game last night other than the quality goal.
Posted
01/07/2024 at

Tony (268),

Colin @ 266,
I always record the games and skim through the boring stuff later. Like I say, I started watch the game live but I was shouting at the TV till I couldn't stand to watch the rubbish anymore.
Surely they know that they should be trying to find space upfield to maybe be in a position to receive a pass?
Branthwaite might be less experienced than Stones and Guehi but I'm sure he would have more life in him than them two.
The manager needs to go after the tournament, he comes across like there's no bite in him. Someone with some fire in them like Fergurson had would be better.
The bottom line though is most of the players are over-rated, the media keep showing you the best bits of them and leaving out 95% of their play.
Posted
01/07/2024 at
12:40:38
I haven't watched Stones much in recent years and I am sure most of his play is very good but, when he has the ball half-way up the pitch and he constantly slowly passes the ball from side to side or behind him, it completely nulls the team as an attacking threat.
For a large part of last night's match when we were a goal behind, he continued to play that way.
He should be running with the ball forwards and looking to release it. This unsettles the opposition and creates openings.
Just an observation but it's just frustrating to watch and the forwards must feel the same way.
Posted
01/07/2024 at

Andrew,
I think that Stones has team orders to not venture out of his half. Pep allows him to run into gaps.

We have some really talented players who for whatever reason haven't during this tournament got anywhere near their club form. Maybe if Southgate would play players in their proper positions it may pay dividends.
Phil Foden was unbelievable in the No 10 role for Man City with plenty of goals and assists, but for some strange reason Southgate plays him wide left.
Bellingham has been sensational for Real and can play in the 10 role or the 6 role equally effectively, I think Palmer is a better option wide right than Saka and I don't think Kane is 100% fti.
I would be happy with Watkins up top, he has pace which always worries defenders. I also wish I could get Eze into the starting line up as he always excites me every time I watch him always looks to g forward and take people on.
I would suggest Southgate take the handbrake off let Rice sit in front of the back 4 and give Bellingham a free role to go forward when appropriate.
