Read the room Gareth. Everyone’s pissed off at **** performances, don’t fan the flames with comments like that ffs!
I'm not sure how he thinks that explains the lack of movement and the inability to pass the ball accurately. Besides, it's a major tournament - the time for experimenting was all those friendlies and qualifying rounds against alehouse teams. It all sounds a bit desperate.
with 2 out and out wingers .Great watch though a dispiriting contrast with our plodding and we couldn't even plod well .
Thst was a rambling mess of an interview. Been reaching for what kind of better.midfield? He's had rice for how long? Was henderson never good enough for him then? Was Phillips actually not good enough either then? Is he throwing trent under the bus? Is he saying Gallagher is **** and if so why is he turning to him as first sub??? It's a pure rambling mess of a guy with no clue and no idea what to do next. He's got bellingham, foden, rice, never.mind the children he brought along that he has no intent of playing. Change the team and you will get through dame result with this clown.
Thing makes me laugh is he said could take henderson cos was playing in Saudi and then moved to Ajax. Kante is starting for France. laporte is starting for Spain. Tamori has been excellent over in Italy. Loftus cheek apparebtly been decent over there as well. Smalling been very good for Roma last few years. But much like the Europa League, we tend to massively look down on players who are playing outside of England because it’s seen as a lesser league. Where as other nations will happily pick these players as it’s their performances that matter. Now not suggesting Henderson would solve the issues - far from it. But you’ve gone whole qualifying with a template of rice and henderson/phillips for a solid midfield 2 and suddenly you’ve just totally deserted that tactics
This is the issue for me. It wouldn't matter what player you handed him they would do the same. They need to change the approach and game plan not one or two players. Look at how Bayern have dropped off massively but kane has scored loads. 4 hat tricks and 3 braces but look at the teams scored against mostly teams Bayern should push right back and dominate. England have scored first twice then sat right off. Why? Southgate. If they pushed right up then Harry kane makes sense he's mostly a liability as a forward with no pace in a team that sits deep.
I was about to say "it wouldn't send them home, even if they lost, a win in their last game would be enough..." then I looked to see who their last game is... and it's Belgium. Yeah, they're not beating Belgium.
Yep Tbph think the last thing the Ukraine nation needed was for me to get them in this pool thing Because my negativity is the last thing those guys need Also not sure how that tournament must feel for them Must be weird as ****
Average number of passes the opposition have before winning the ball back... Last season, Spurs were best with just eight opposition passes Forest were worst at 17 England average last night... 28! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGegu6A4P/
Good chance at last 16 for Ukraine now! I'll trade predictions... Serbia isn't going to get out of the group unless they beat Denmark and I had them for last 16.
Hmm, dunno. England had 30 good minutes against Serbia - doubt they had 30 good seconds against Denmark.
