    Eh most of our attacks have came down the left? Saka has done absolutely nothing all half.

    I'm not disagreeing mate.....but at least he showed some intent in going forward.....last decision was not the best though.

    After a couple of games you’re making that wild claim?

    I'm not a fan of Alexander-Arnold in midfield. He's a right wing back at best and his defensive capabilities are weak, he should be nowhere near the middle of the park

    Lineker is bang on there, I said it last game. All of these players play for teams dominating games in the opponents half yet when it comes to England it’s the opposite.

    Feel dirty saying it but Gordon would be a much better option on the left

    Totally outplayed by Denmark imo. The TAA experiment needs to end, it’s not natural there, play a specialist.

    Foden has to be taken off the left, keep him on by all means but no good on the left. No width out there and trippier left exposed. Either swap him and saka or bring Gordon on.

    Nobody makes that run past Kane, we don’t look like getting into the final third, dreadful first half.

    We need him on the ball more for sure. Feels like he's trying to be a hero every time because he doesn't know when he'll see the ball next.

    Sick to death of this, so many players underperforming . Such a talented bunch of players defending too deeply instead of showing what they’re capable of. Southgate is a clown.

    England are so s**t to watch

    So much talent on the pitch but its like they dont work on in possession stuff in training

    Yes kane scored but hes been shocking, keeps dropping so deep. The game has bypassed Bellingham by (same for the other CMs) saka done nothing, passing far too slow n safe

    I know folk keep criticising foden but hes the one attacking player looking to get on the half turn in space n make things happen

    Shocking performance so far

    Naaaaa Southgate just doesn't know how to get the best out of them some phenomenal players at his disposal. They don't play together enough either it's always chop and change to give others a chance of making the squad.

    I wouldn't even play Kane me. Kills the entire way of playing.

    I'd be taking Bellingham off he's looked miles off it. Move Foden inside and stick an actual winger on the left.

    Agree with Kane too, been poor and dropping way too deep. Needed to change it this game.

    Foden is evidently frustrated with the way that’s panned out. I can’t believe we’ve opted to sit back after going in front AGAIN. Best forward players in the world at our disposal.

    I’d bring Eze on for Trent, Bellingham in the 8 and Foden 10 see how they start the second half.

    Disappears when we are under pressure. Again he's a good.player but he's not a midfielder.

    blow Southgate after this crap, they not interested, players like Grealish etc left at home, get the frigging ball and get at them we have these so called great players where are they ? giving the ball away as well, have a go before it is too late, tedius this has been with him in charge, they are jumping in and winning the ball more as well, sidewards backwards rubbish we were better when Ericson was in charge

    Bellingham and Foden are both incredible players who can make things happen though, have to keep them on as long as possible. If France were losing come 60 minutes and Mbappe was having a stinker he’d still be the last person in their managers mind when it comes to subs.

    Southgate love in is it <doh>

    The players have played poorly. Passing from the start has been all over the shop. They are playing like Scotland, harem scarem panic stations. That isnt Southgates instructions.

    Nobody on TV calling out Kane mistake? This is about individuals not doing what they can. Can they turn it round? Of course they can. But remember Denmark are not some low level side...

    I wouldn't be against this to be fair. Bellingham is pretty much playing in the 8 with Foden in the 10 anyway. Eze will just provide that extra threat on the left.
