EURO 2024

Southgate never does changes personnel rarely changes shape unless it’s to drop everyone deep

 

So now anyone from the NE is from Newcastle ...

... but Pickford is from Washington

 

We have been very very poor. Will get blown away with any quality.

 

I know everyone will be talking about Southgate and tactics, but the players have to take a lot of responsibility.

Surely Saka doesn't need Southgate to give him instructions on how to beat his man now that he's marking tighter etc.?

So many of our players have lost their individual battles, particularly in the second half.

 

And Branthwaite who's from Carlisle is from the North East!

 

Yeah i get that but hes got to be telling kane to stay high, tell foden n sake to hold their width in the 2nd half and if its not working then make changes earlier

 

2nd win in eleven of the last opening tournament fixtures. Well done Gareth lad.

 

We made hard work of that!

 

Bank the points and onto the next one, poor tonight though

 

Long way to go tbh, Argentina lost their opening game of the world cup n looked shocking - then won the lot

Its 1 game, 3 points and plenty learnings for them

 

We'll not be favourites now

As usual, first decent team we play will beat us comfortably.

 

Hard work but plenty of teams grow into a tournament. The Italians are famed for it, and lets not forget Argentina lost their opener in the World Cup.

 

Looked comfortable first half, struggled second half.

However, we won and that's the main thing

 

Typical Southgate performance, why am I not surprised.

 

A wins a win, well done lads.

Not the best performance perhaps but keeps everyone grounded surely, work to do.

 

Some of the best footballers on the planet in England shirts, we play long to a player who hardly got off the ground.

good 3 points, but really crap to watch

 

So frustrating yet again. How does Southgate manage to creat mediocrity from such a talented squad We will play better but I worry against better teams.

 

Agree but we have been terrible for a while. Iceland and tonight, look way way off.

Loo the worse out of all big teams played so far

 

Take that. Not a great second half but i'd also say that Serbia didn't exactly get any real chances. Do not like that left side partnership at all though, if Shaw is fit he has to play.

Onto the next.

 

Yeah fair, Southgate wont change and i dont think England will win the comp - but then again my country got beat 5-1 and have looked by far the worst team so what do i know lol
