Had an awful game. Got booked early and doesn't look like he knows what he's supposed to be doing. Wrong player for the circumstances though, to be fair. He's not a midfielder that will dominate possession or create chances.
Not from the left though. The few good things he did were more central. We are a bit of a empty zone on the left and teams will exploit that. Agreed that Hojbjerg fellow looks good, do you think he's worth a punt?
Dreadful. Didn't learn from the first match and repeated the awful performance. I don't think that either Southgate nor the pundits understand the problem.
It’s actually really disheartening to see such a talented group of players stifled so badly by an incompetent moron of a manager.
Kane, Saka, Bellingham, Foden, Eze, Bowen, Watkins, Palmer and Gordon = 209 club goals last season. That's an insane amount of goal threat across the squad, yet how many good chances were created? No left-backs, one winger, no creative deep-lying players and a sluggish, negative approach neutralises the team. What's the supposed intent behind the team selection? What's the team identity? It's not Gegenpressing, it's not tika-taka, it's not Guardiola-style attritional possession. What is it?
