    We have more than 6 or 7, but even if we only had 6 or 7, we should still be doing far better. Most other sides will barely have 4.

    As for no great defenders, Walker’s been one of the best RBs in Europe for the best part of a decade and Stones walks into 90% of the back lines in this tournament.

    Kristiansen, Vestergaard and Hermandsen will be having sleepless nights at facing all that Premiership quality <laugh>

    Hopefully but he comes across as really stubborn and I suspect he’d just double down on his style of play.

    I’ve actually got a bit of doubt now that we could really **** up against Slovenia.

    It’s gonna be so funny seeing you make up the excuses next season when they’re getting torn to shreds. There’s a reason you spent last season in the Championship ffs <laugh>

    If that's true, then England have done well surely, if you held a far superior team to a draw and picked up four points in the group stages - and we did it by playing shhite....imagine what we can do at our best.

    Did you listen to Walker just now <laugh>

    He's said that in front of the camera but playing the way he does for his club, inside he knows it was ****.

    I watched Slovenia earlier. We'll probably draw that game too.

    The irony of you mocking legitimately good players whilst you try peddling that Wout Faes and Harry Souttar are good players is genuinely superb.

    The side this guy picks mate...and then there's just nothing happening on the pitch... then on top of that he's the most uninspiring manager ever.

    Shearer has finally realised what everyone else knew the last decade.

    I'm not happy with it mate, but we still got 4 points playing like donkeys.

    We also have Rice <ok> It's not just about the back 4.

    I agree we have more than 6 or 7 and compare very well with some of the best sides in this tournament.

    Of course he does. Which teams doesn’t Stones get a game for?

    No excuses - table doesn't lie ... as you Spuds know all too well ...

    Yes - there was indeed a reason for us being in the Championship last season - basis being just the same as when we played in the Champions League as English Campions :)emoticon-0159-music you'll never sing that :emoticon-0159-music) in 2016/17 ... all down to the final table <cheers>

    The players must be close to turning on Southgate. They must be.

    They'll get beat as soon as they play a big nation.

    We were able to bring on Watkins, Bowen and Eze today. These three could start for most of the other sides in the tournament. The quality and the depth we have in almost every area bar LB is insane.

    It’s mad how bad this dope’s making us look.

    I'm hoping someone picks up the phone to Southgate and gives him a bit of verbal before we get to that stage.
