    if that is the best they can do then they really do not want to top this group or they will be humiliated.

    slow, laborious, predictable, cannot remember one of them screaming for the ball and trying to do anything with it, much as i think grealish is a bit too hyped he at least tried to take the ball forward...most of the game, 5 or 6 passes to get 30 yards up the pitch then a 30 yard back pass, plenty of decent runs by forward players at times but no one capable of playing the ball to them.

    two games in now and have seen nothing to back up the claims that england are 'one of the favourites to win it'

    Stupid suggestion possibly but do you think he is playing crap to bring his transfer price down?

    Weird one. Looks like people are barely even trying to get the ball to him.

    The team mechanics are just wrong.

    What gets me is that players such as Mount and Foden look great for their team and hardly trouble the other team playing for England. Southgate has to play to their strengths and get them playing as they do for their clubs. Plus I can never understand why your main striker is playing wide instead of playing within the middle of the park. If England are to progress, Southgate HAS to change this system

    After seeing the league I take it all back. Masterclass by Gareth. A point each us for us n the Czechs sees us thru. Finishing 2nd means we avoid France or Portugal I think.<laugh>

    Should have taken him off instead off Foden (in fact he shouldn't have started) and continues with 2 defensive midfielders. I think he was more frightened of losing than trying to win as everything was so slow and negative.
    Also, can't remember Mount being mentioned much second half.

    Fuming at the end, no crosses in from the right and passing it inside again and again and Grealish looking to lay ball off on edge of the box and no ****er there.

    Well said Roy Keane.

    Harry Kane hasn't got his head on this tournament. Not a ****ing chance. Rashford come in next game

    <laugh>Wish you were right mate unfortunately Gareth Although a very nice man has learned nothing from the World Cup. We’ve potentially got the best young squad in the competition but I’ve had enough of his one dimensional football

    Teams like Italy, Belgium, etc take risks and frighten the opposition ...

    ... Scotland looked totally cool for 90 minutes.

    It will be interesting to see what Southgate says after this.

    One thing I'm certain of it will end with "thanks Gabriel" just like Fergie used to for the champions league games on ITV. And it was ****ing annoying then and it still is now.

    Draw suits us for the "next round", pure tactics. Got the same feeling as watching sunderland, you know the feeling you get of "don't really wanna win here".

    Expecting things to just happen rather than making things happen.
