Exactly what I said to my ladWatching the Spain v Italy match & there is more excitement in the first 20mins than the whole of the England match

I read a stat that said that in Southgate’s tenure England had played teams that were ranked in the Top 10 in the World on 24 occasions and had won ….. 4 timesSouthgate's comment "We don't have a natural replacement for Kalvin Philips" shows his total paucity of tactical nous. If that's the summit of his thought processes we're doomed. Denmark with a less talented squad played a superb pressing game and outplayed us for much of the game. Watch some of the 'minnows' of this tournament play with an attacking freedom and slickness of passing and movement that makes our team look pedestrian. I'll say it yet again Southgate is the problem...

And that was actually done before yesterday's game !
We have a striker that can't go past anyone and drops so deep he's practically a midfielder. A defenders dream, just let him go. We have, arguably our 3rd/4th choice right back, playing at left back. We play 2 holding midfielders. The top premier league English goal scorer sat on the bench and we bring Connor Gallagher on ffs.
I hate to say it because I love Eze for obvious reasons but I thought he looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights when he came on. Seemed completely off the pace and lacked energy and awareness. Though it's no doubt Southgate's fault for filling his head with guff before he came on.I thought Eze did ok considering Southate went route 1 soon after he made those 3 subs. He got in a good pass at the death and a decent pass earlier on.
What, the team are betting on us to perform like U13s?I think Southgate's basing his tactics on Sunak's election campaign.
