Euro 2024

[expoultryboy]

He'll wait until we concede !

[Burnley Ace]

Bellingham looks disinterested and is just wandering around.

[Vegas Claret]

it's like watching 11 strangers

[Rick_Muller]

Sometimes I just don’t know why they don’t just switch it up a bit and stop passing it about to keep the ball and just get to the line and drill it across

[Goalposts]

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.

Spot on - he absolutely does not know how to put a team together . 3 players out of position - a striker that doesnt press but you want the team to press- that link will let you down. Foden and Kane - i dont think can play together .. TAA. - gives you nothing and in truth for so many individual stellar players. no leaders on the pitch. Southgate has learnt nothing in 6 years

[Dyched]

Bellingham looks disinterested and is just wandering around.

This is how he plays for R Madrid.

[bumba]

Southgates not the one
He don't turn me on

England's coming home again

[bumba]

Going for it now super Gallagher on

Trippier just had a crossing opportunity with 3 or 4 men in the box but as he is on the wrong side he checks back

[Goalposts]

Same sub as last game and i predict the sub will make the same impact as last week - needed to be a double sub - and for me id take Kane of

[bfcjg]

Jack Grealish is a miss, he should have gone. He can turn a game.

[Goalposts]

I do wonder if we will see Braun Larsen on at some stage ?

[Robbie_painter]

Problem with that is Watkins and Toney ain’t up to it at this level.

[NottsClaret]

Every now and again we hear ‘i think I’d leave it to the professionals, they know more than some guy on the internet’ when we get critical of a manager.

But the fact Southgate took until the 2nd half of our second game to see what most people already knew, ie that you can’t suddenly drop a RB into centre midfield in a big tournament makes me wonder if they really are that smart.

And not including a left back in a 26 man squad.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Set up to deep, set up not to lose

Not a dig but which left back would you have included in the squad? I’m presuming chilwell is injured?

[Goalposts]

Yes , but you need movement , was thinking more eze - palmer - Gordon . Make defenders turn - face their own goal

[Vegas Claret]

I'd take Bellingham off

[expoultryboy]

Rice has been absolutely shocking

[box_of_frogs]

Same negative BS from Southgate.

Is BS a new code for ‘facts’?

[kentonclaret]

The pitch is ever so bumpy and it’s so so hot

[BleedingClaret]

This really is from the same coaching manual as Kompany

[Robbie_painter]

100 percent agree with that

[Goalposts]

Rice has been absolutely shocking

Rice is your holding midfielder - he cant go forward in the current set up

[BleedingClaret]

I feel they’d struggle most with Gordon
Just simply because of his pace

[Goalposts]

Well Watkin’s will press at least

[Vegas Claret]

That's right, take your best player off

[Milltown1882]

Standing up as a manager finally and making the bold move. Subbing off the players that have been awful is a good start.

[CoolClaret]

Glad he's had the minerals to take Kane off tbh - he puts in performances like this regularly against decent centrebacks, just gets taken out of the game.

[Colburn_Claret]

Swap 3 players who don't know what they are supposed to be doing, for another 3 players who don't know what they are supposed to be doing.
Tactical genius.

[Milltown1882]

That's right, take your best player off

A static striker vs one that will make angles and add pace and cut in behind. Perfect sub.

[Goalposts]

Of the subs id only question foden going off - he’s not been awful

[AGENT_CLARET]

That's right, take your best player off

Kane best player

[Vegas Claret]

I was talking about Foden lads

[kentonclaret]

Probably having listened to the other pundits in the studio Shearer has changed his tune over Kane.
In the first half he was waxing lyrical over Kane after he scored arguing that he was critical to the team and had to be the first name on the team sheet.
Really, Watkins should be starting ahead of Kane if he is going to drop so deep.

[BleedingClaret]

A static striker vs one that will make angles and add pace and cut in behind. Perfect sub.

Realistically Kane should be a 10 and playing with a No 9 like Watkins that would make the runs and pull the defence back thus creating the space for Kane to collect the ball but not as deep as he is in this poor system

[CoolClaret]

Absolutely no reason why we can't start with Kane and Watkins. Useless is Southgate, shame he won't be going to United - would have been hilarious.

[Rick_Muller]

This really is from the same coaching manual as Kompany

That was my conclusion too

[Vegas Claret]

Kane best player

your mistake

[Buxtonclaret]

I'd have bloody well loved that!

[Vegas Claret]

across the two games, does anyone know how many shots on target we've had ?

[BleedingClaret]

2?

[jos]

I’d settle for a draw now

[BleedingClaret]

No 3?

[AGENT_CLARET]

your mistake

You should of named him then so we'd not have to guess who you was talking about

[BleedingClaret]

They’ve had basic footballing common sense coached out of them

[Robbie_painter]

The worrying thing is the Dane’s are very average.

[TPClaret]

The sooner we see the back of Southgate the better.

[Vegas Claret]

You should of named him then so we'd not have to guess who you was talking about

well, Foden has been our best player, Kane resembled a road cone so.......

[Vegas Claret]

2?

it feels like it's going to be around that number, so incredibly poor given the talent available
