Euro 2024

[ALP]

Shows it can be done, now stop the boring **** and start playing on the front foot

[HahaYeah]

2 shots.

[Greekclaret]

Please don’t drop back and defend for the rest of the game

[Buxtonclaret]

Great manager.

Behave!

[bfcjg]

Kane off please.

Bit to late to delete SWC.

[Spijed]

Great manager.

At least if England win the tournament it proves you don't need a good manager to do it.

[bumba]

Even if we win this I'd still sack Southgate after this game, our best chance of winning this tournament is without him

[expoultryboy]

What a xxx with his pen and paper

[Inchy]

Didn't deserve that for one second! , been shoite all tournament and should be on the plan back ......... useless overpaid ego's

Don’t forget the first 20 mins of the opening game

[expoultryboy]

We've gone deeper again

[Inchy]

Sack Southgate at full time and get Klopp in!

If he doesn’t want it get Warnock in

[BurnleyFC]

We've gone deeper again

Playing for penalties now is Gareth.

[Tricky Trevor]

All bets are off Toney is on. He’s looked better in 10mins than Kane has looked all the match.

[Vegas Claret]

this is where swapping Kane for Watkins makes sense

[CoolClaret]

Find it baffling how reluctant managers are these days to just play two up top. Kane and Watkins/Toney is an ideal partnership that will always cause problems.

[Rick_Muller]

With about 90 seconds remaining I went out to walk the dog because he was being a needy little bugger for his evening walk. Come back in and it’s still on the tele and the missus said we scored. She missed the second one though

[Mark the Claret]

Agree, 4 2 2 or a variation of it, can be more effective than all this tippy tappy fannying about at the back crap.

[BurnleyFC]

Reverted to Gareth ball again.

Need two up top to get the best out of Kane now or a number 10 like Musiala or Alvarez maybe even Foden if used as a 10.

Going forward I still believe we should go 5-3-2/3-5-2

Pickford

Walker Stones Guehi

Trent and Saka wing backs

Rice

Bellingham Foden

Watkins Kane

[CoolClaret]

Makes it so much more difficult for the opposing defenders - 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 is great if you have two top class inside forwards/wide men that provide a goal threat and have pace, but if not it's just too easy for them.

Two up top and immediately they have to be accounted for, it also would be better for Kane to have a partner to stretch defence and have him playing his now favoured role dropping in the hole and linking midfield to attack.

[ElectroClaret]

Palmer must start next game, should we win.
Imperative.

[expoultryboy]

Don't score for England , you get subbed

[Murger]

So he’s gone back to 1 up top again. He never learns.

[Rowls]

The tried and trusted good ol' 7-2-1 formation. Nice.

Can't say Southgate isn't willing to adapt, can you eh?

[exilecanada]

With about 90 seconds remaining I went out to walk the dog because he was being a needy little bugger for his evening walk.

I took off my England shirt and put it back in the closet for another two years.

[dougcollins]

Palmer must start next game, should we win.
Imperative.

Don't be silly.

It'll be same starters minus the injured Trippier, walking football again.

[Firthy]

Why are we sitting back and trying to play posession football again. It's just asking for trouble. Attack is the best form of defence.

[Vegas Claret]

Question: why
Answer: Southgate

[expoultryboy]

Because he's a clown

[Spijed]

Don't be silly.

Guéhi is suspended

[ElectroClaret]

Don't be silly.

It'll be same starters minus the injured Trippier, walking football again.

Nah.
Pressure from the media and clamour from the public after this sh1tshow will force a change.

[CoolClaret]

Pickford

Walker Stones Guehi

Trent and Saka wing backs

Rice

Bellingham Foden

Watkins Kane

I'd have Mainoo or Wharton in ahead of Foden then for a bit more balance - that's definitely an option though.

See no reason why we can't properly go for it and play something like this.

-----------Pickford
Walker-Stones-Guehi-Saka
Palmer-Bellingham-Rice-Gordon
---------Kane-Watkins

Walker/Stones can step into midfield a bit and cover Bellingham's late runs forward. It's attacking sure, but we ain't going anywhere playing the current system.

[Murger]

Why the **** does Safegate revert to this defensive football?

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Kyle Walker admitted the other day that the players aren’t doing what Southgate wants

He doesn’t want them sat back

[Lord_Bob]

Taken two of our penalty takers off I see.....

[dougcollins]

Problem I have with Gallagher, gives away too many free kicks.

[expoultryboy]

Get out you muppets

[dougcollins]

Kyle Walker admitted the other day that the players aren’t doing what Southgate wants

He doesn’t want them sat back

He's been terrible tonight.

Walker I mean, but so has Southgate.

[Murger]

Kyle Walker admitted the other day that the players aren’t doing what Southgate wants

Hardly likely to throw his manager under the bus is he?

[BurnleyFC]

Kyle Walker admitted the other day that the players aren’t doing what Southgate wants

I find that hard to believe.

It’s what they’ve done for years now.

And taking Kane (who was crap) and Bellingham off for Konsa and Gallagher suggests the opposite.

[Rick_Muller]

We’re going to lose on penalties here

[expoultryboy]

Murger - I wish he would

[Murger]

Murger - I wish he would

So do I.

[Tricky Trevor]

So now coaches have to introduce training sessions for 2 balls on the field.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

I find that hard to believe.

He said it in a post game interview but here’s a link to a news article
People will still blame Southgate though, because that’s the mindset they have and I cba with that

[BobSykes]

Please sack him now and let's see if we can get to the final

[CoolClaret]

Matterface's ultra ott forced commentary

[Casper2]

Southgate tactical master class

[4:20]

You lucky, lucky sods. I can't celebrate that.

[RVclaret]

Matterface's ultra ott forced commentary

Awful isn’t he
