This is like watching Martin ball so far Passing for the sake of it with no intent. What did I do to deserve this football punishment
That half was better than the Denmark performance. But that's not saying anything. Most things are better than the Denmark performance. The dentist. A fever. The city of Portsmouth.
Let’s be clear. That was better than the Denmark performance BECAUSE Slovenia are sitting in the low block letting us do absolutely **** all with the ball.
Yeah. Planet realism. It's not great but Slovenia are making it tough to break them down. It doesn't help that Bellingham is playing poorly. It's also hot in Cologne, Slovenia will tire. Need to be patient.
Our lack of presence in midfield is concerning. Neither Bellingham or Gallagher doing much to warrant starting the second half. Saka is isolated and getting little service. Foden and Kane showed improvement in the last 15-20 minutes.
If I was a Croatia fan, I wouldn't be confident on England getting the 3-0 win they require. Sorry Croatia.
If Spain or Germany or France or Switzerland or Austria or the Netherlands were up against this low block they would be doing a lot more than we are. This is poor. And Bellingham is not world class on this showing. Or the Denmark showing.
At the game. Feels very reminiscent of our semi final v West Brom. The possession will tire the opposition and we will get an opening.
Maybe this is Southgate's masterplan for how to deal with our recurring problem of going 1-0 up and then retreating. Shame that he decided to "fix" the wrong part of that problem.
That is your response. I have watched pretty much every team at this tournament and we are the only side without a clear identity. Slovenia are 57th in the world!!!
They've earned the right, by winning five major tournaments in the last 26 years. Edit: Sorry, four. But also beaten finalists at least three times.
I can’t get over how useless Bellingham is. Absolutely diabolical- and lazy with it. I think fame has gone to his head.
