EURO 2024

[Nads]

I think this will be a pattern which will continue in international football. For the majority of the Slovaks players, this will be one of their biggest games of their career. For all of the English players it simply isnt. And it shows. Not be long until a lesser team wins the tournament. The Swiss/Italian game is another perfect example.

Could be Austria or Switzerland right now mate.

 

[Gil T Azell]

Awful first half - but a few signs that we can get back into this
- time to change it Gareth
Kane off for a start

Totally agree with you but he's a penalty taker so cannot see GS taking him off.........unfortunately.

 

[WorkyTicketFTM]

Do you mean a number 9 shouldn’t? As I agree totally. Never have a centre forward as captain.

Yeah. Can’t see how having someone at the top of the pitch with his back to the game half of the time is the right person to be giving out instructions.

 

[JammySAFC]

No team ever wins with Kane.

Brilliant goalscorer but is his lack of pace and movement an issue?

An off the shoulder player like Ollie would make us so much more dynamic.

Kane works well when he drop deeps and plays forward to wingers run in. You know, those wingers we don’t play. Madness.

If you wanna press on with this system, then Watkins has to play.

 

[BRMC]

Neville - He's in that dressing room talking to those players.

Southgate - keep it up lads we are making them work for this.

 

[marcusblackcat]

Yeah. Can’t see how having someone at the top of the pitch with his back to the game half of the time is the right person to be giving out instructions.

They can. But have to be an absolutely superb footballer to do it. Kane is a goal scorer (apparently?)

 

[E.T. Fairfax]

Could be Austria or Switzerland right now mate.

Germany for me. Because they have the quality and, with being at home, motivation.

 

[Grizzled Wanderer]

The commentary team are shocked.

We're not ****ing shocked.

 

[BackO'TheNet]

Trippier OFF
Saka OFF

 

[BRMC]

The commentary team are shocked.

We're not ****ing shocked.

Keano has nailed it.

 

[Smug in Boots]

It's the fans out there I feel sorry for. A lot of money paid to watch these gutless tossers

It's not like they didn't suspect tbf mate ...

... there's never a forgone conclusion with England, no matter how lucky the draw might be.

I stood there cringing when we played Trinidad & Tobago in the World Cup at Nuremberg ...

... they murdered us for 80 minutes and we scraped through which is what I think will happen here.

 

[Disco down under]

Michael Bridges and Thomas Sorenson doing the punditry for me.

****ing weird.

 

[Prehab26]

Can I call him a coward again?….

only messing but his system is so ****ing poor

You can. He has been. Time to step up for feck off.

All tournament the same. ****e. I can not believe some believe it's the players fault when we have tripper playing at left back FFS.

 

[Chunksafc]

Gomez on at left back, Gordon on left wing, Palmer on the right as a minimum.

Kane and Bellingham invisible again

 

[Snaggey]

Yeah. Can’t see how having someone at the top of the pitch with his back to the game half of the time is the right person to be giving out instructions.

Kane is facing the game 90% of the time though.

 

[John Wick]

More joy on the England players faces in the Google Pixel phone advert.

 

[Grizzled Wanderer]

Kane is facing the game 90% of the time though.

He's playing in central midfield most of the time.

 

[Gil T Azell]

Trending on X Southgate out. 1 reply. Give it to Warnock until full time. Haha class.

 

[Snaggey]

He's playing in central midfield most of the time.

I would use the term "playing" loosely as well mind.

 

[SourPatch2]

How can you come away from the season and think Trippier is the best option at left back? Just watching Newcastle you could see that Hall and Livramento are better players. Watching Liverpool you can see that Gomez can do more than a decent job there. Watching Palace back end of the season you see Mitchell playing excellent. Dropped off a bit towards the end but Alfie Doughty was pretty good for Luton. Probably didn't bother watching but Leif Davis was arguably the best player in the championship last season from left back.

It's a pathetic selection.
