Nobody can tell me that Mitchell, Doughty, Davis and others shouldn't have been called up. Trippier isn't even Newcastles best English right or left back. Even take Branthwaite and play him as a defensive left back.

Cut your losses, bring Gomez on.

Criminal not bringing a natural left back with shaw never going to be fit enough. Even worse when it was obvious foden would end up starting out left.

I can get trippier being chosen as that assurance as a defender but he’s lost even that this season and tbh is probs only there because of the left back crisis. Slovenia have got past him quite easily tonight, I’d rather just play Trent there.

Been talk about foden dropping to the bench to get some more balance, but if I’m honest, i think Bellingham should be looking over his shoulder as crazy as it sounds. Foden been our most like today and against Denmark imo.

Awful today. Foden has been ok today. Possibly our best although not much competition to be honest

Rice and Foden are the only players pulling their weight. Trippier and Gallagher have looked awful.

Leif Davis would have been the really exciting choice.

I'll settle for Gomez second half.

Trippier is not the only problem though, with the exception of Foden, none of our attack is doing much.
 
I called Steve Clarke naive but this is just as bad. Look at both Trippier and Fodens body position when they receive the ball. It's back infield! Slovenia are getting praise for being solid but a sunday league team can defend half a field. Foden looks better but look at where his best work is coming from, the left half space which is where Jude, Trippier and then Kane for some reason are also occupying.

When Stones, Guehi and Rice have the ball they keep going to play it left but have to check back on themselves because NOBODY IS THERE. Thats why we look so slow, because the players on the ball have no options because we've made the pitch so narrow.

Self inflicted ****e.
 
100%. Gallagher isn’t my favourite player but his game is energy and all action playing like a robot. This is definitely all tactical. He’s absolutely terrified to let them loose Safety first all the time absolutely ****e
