Euro 2024

[Caballo]

No press when they're in possession, no movement when we are. Absolute lack of structure and ambition, are they even being coached? it looks like eleven lads that have brought their boots and met in the car park.

[Milltown1882]

This is absolutely dire. So predictable as soon as we go 1-0 up we revert to type. The sooner Southgate moves on the better.

[BurnleyFC]

Can’t understand this shape and tactics at all.

[Terrier]

Why is alan shearer using a megaphone to commentate?

[ElectroClaret]

Rapidly dissolving into a completely disorganised rabble.

[RVclaret]

A decent manager recognises the huge issue we’re having from Trent in the middle and makes a change at HT. Won’t happen.

[Vino blanco]

We have no idea how to control a game. They are much better organised team-wise than we are.

[TheFamilyCat]

Wtaf is harry kane doing at left back

A better job than Trippier?

[Murger]

Same negative BS from Southgate.

[BurnleyFC]

A better job than Trippier?

[BleedingClaret]

Playing TAA again when it clearly didn’t work against Serbia, when Denmark are so strong in that attacking midfield area is just stubborn and
Right backs at left back and centre mid
It’s like he’s been watching the VK masterclass

[Shaggy]

There’s only one reason Southgate has the job… it’s not because he is a winner. He is a serial loser as a player and a manager.

With the wealth of talent available England should be sweeping teams like Denmark aside without much issue instead of just defending and keeping it tight.

[clarethomer]

Very poor 1st half

[fatboy47]

45 mins of absolute ùnadulterated cack.

F**k off Southgate you useless empty suit.

[bfcjg]

Southgate is the most boring England manager imaginable. What goes through his mind is beyond me.

[LincsWoldsClaret]

Get Gallagher on

[dougcollins]

Cant believe he picked the same team.

TAA should be nowhere near this.

Trippier shouldn't be at left back.

And Southgate must have more discipline with Kane in respect of where he's playing, WTF was he doing where he was playing that ball infield for their goal?

[BabylonClaret]

Awful. Truly awful. Gifted a goal and then let Denmark dictate the game. Really really poor.

[willsclarets]

There was some overreaction after the Serbia result. But that was really poor

[BurnleyFC]

Pundits scathing at half time.

[Elizabeth]

Is anyone surprised we have been over-run in midfield with Arnold in midfield ?

[Vino blanco]

I'm sure Southgate's experience in relegating Middlesbrough in his only time in managing in the English leagues will come to the fore now.

[BurnleyFC]

Is anyone surprised we have been over-run in midfield with Arnold in midfield ?

And a centre forward (and captain) refusing to press.

[RVclaret]

Seriously disappointing half after a below par performance against Serbia. It’s blatantly obvious Trent in there isn’t working. He’s an outstanding player but his skill set is for right back. I can’t believe he’s got Mainoo & Wharton on the bench and neither have got the nod over him.

[Casper2]

Pundits scathing at half time.

Not scathing enough

[Darthlaw]

Mainoo and Palmer on for the second for the love of god.

Form players in their correct positions

[Buxtonclaret]

Typical Southgate B-side showing.
Time and time again he's proved he's never be a top manager & never will be.
Such a shame with the talent available.

[CoolClaret]

Also not sure why he doesn't try two up top with Kane and Watkins along with Gordon on the left - we'd be so much more dynamic.

[Casper2]

Southgate told them to conserve energy in the first half.. so hence no high press

[Dyched]

Should be the last game Kane starts for me. With Watkins, it’ll bring out Bellinghams best, and also Fodens. We wouldn’t then even mention KT or TAA.

[claret3561]

Such a shame best set of players we've ever had coached by the worst manager we've ever had

[Milltown1882]

Absolute waste of a ‘golden generation’ because of a tactically inept manager.

[TheFamilyCat]

Seriously disappointing half after a below par performance against Serbia. It’s blatantly obvious Trent in there isn’t working. He’s an outstanding player but his skill set is for right back. I can’t believe he’s got Mainoo & Wharton on the bench and neither have got the nod over him.

Not knocking those two but we shouldn't be in a position where we're pinning our hopes on players with less than 50 top flight appearances between them.

[AGENT_CLARET]

WE ARE SHITE

[box_of_frogs]

Such a shame best set of players we've ever had coached by the worst manager we've ever had

Couldn’t agree more. I’d be happy if we sack him now.

[Quickenthetempo]

Southgate is the worst football manager I have ever come accross and I've seen Brian Laws.

[bumba]

How come the average fan in the street could spot after the last game that Trent isn't a midfielder yet Southgate who's paid millions and a so called manager still can't see it?
And not picking a fit left back just to take his special boy Trippier is criminal.
Get Trent off, get Bellingham, Rice and Foden central and Gordon on the wing being direct

[Caballo]

The Blazers need to asking themselves why they've squandered this teams potential for the last 3 tournaments on this chump.

[Colburn_Claret]

Said it many times, great players, crap team.

Southgate hasn't a clue. You can't fix a problem when you are the only person who can't see you've got one.

The most galling thing is all these pundits pulling us apart, but all frightened to lay the blame at the right door.

[claret wizard]

Tactics against England.

Let them score.

Let them sit back.

Score!

Never thought this guy had a clue after the pizza hut thing.

[Tricky Trevor]

As said pre-tournament, by professionals, TAA is completely out of his depth as a ball winner in MF. Gallagher or Mainoo would do a better job.
Sarfgate cannot coach defence and yet as soon as we get a lead they sit back. Get at ‘em, the benefit of scoring first is that they have to come out and leave spaces behind.
After all that our 11 multi-millionaires do not want to be playing football in June when there are beaches to lie on. They might spout about the honour of playing for their country but they rarely show it. The standard of first touch, simple pass and effort is terrible.

Anyway after all that I hope for a much better second half. Most of the matches have changed after the break but they have better coaches than us.

[RVclaret]

no subs. Absolute joke

[bumba]

Ruined our Euros as a player, done it repeatedly as a manager

[BleedingClaret]

……………….. Pickford…………..
Walker……... Stones . Gueye Trippier
……………. Mainoo ….. Rice…………,,,,
Saka………… Bellingham …….. Gordon
……………………. Kane………………………..

Attack ffs

[Dyched]

WTF

[Darthlaw]

Not knocking those two but we shouldn't be in a position where we're pinning our hopes on players with less than 50 top flight appearances between them.

Real Madrids Arda Guler (who ripped one in for Turkey the other night) has made 10 appearances for Madrid and 42 first team games total.

If they’re good enough, they’re good enough.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Some pundits blaming the heat at pitch level and the poor pitch breaking up........ Must only be effecting the England team

[bobinho]

Where are all the “Yeah but he got us to a final” Southgate apologists?

He’s an absolute muppet. You’d have to be to not get a tune out of these. Doesn’t help with square pegs in round holes. That was a concern for many before the tournament, so no surprise it’s biting us in the arse.

The only surprising thing is that there will still be a few who think we will actually do something with this clown at the helm.

[expoultryboy]

They're pressing really well . CHANGE IT YOU THINK IDIOT

[RVclaret]

It’s painful stuff this.
