Reading this thread omg..some of the comments,Switzerland a poor side..England are woeful ,we’ve been lucky again loads of others.blah blah blah.. you’re all my fellow clarets but some of you are just pathetic. It was a hard fought, even game and for once our penalties were brilliant and we won through and are in the semis. Why do you bother watching hey…

[Vegas Claret]

absolutely mental that we've seen 2 Burnley players in action today (officially!!!)

I'm not a Southgate fan but they limited a really excellent Swiss team to next to nothing, a much better performance.

[CoolClaret]

Arda Güler really is the next footballing superstar.

This kid has it all.

Real Madrid are absolutely stacked for the next 8+ years.

[Elizabeth]

When I see England have a corner and the ball ends up back at Pickford without it going forward I know its never going to be the time to praise Southgate. He's destroyed any attacking intention for the safety of not taking risks. It's totally alien.
Saka has escaped the imprisonment tonight and Palmer looks like he's going to defy the jailer if given half a chance.
For those seeking comfort in Switzerland being a top ranking team , you must think Italy are one of the best which they are nowhere near

[Aclaret]

We'd be home now if not for being the plss poor half of the draw

[CrosspoolClarets]

Pickford’s water bottle notes:

Amdouni - HOLD, Dive Left, Go Low.

Good job he didn’t bother reading it with the hold bit

The City guy it did indeed say Dive Left, which is what he did.

[Vegas Claret]

it's unfathomable how much talent that Real Madrid team has now

[Vegas Claret]

I'd much rather us play the Dutch in the semi final than the Turks, another good side

[CoolClaret]

It really is bonkers - they are so, so good all over the pitch.

[TheFamilyCat]

I'm not a Southgate fan but they limited a really excellent Swiss team to next to nothing, a much better performance.

And at the same time limited ourselves to even less.

[boatshed bill]

Wout!!!

[Vegas Claret]

Wout!!!

his mate but Wout has made a big difference

[Vegas Claret]

It really is bonkers - they are so, so good all over the pitch.

and young !

[Firthy]

Wout!!!

Dutch Peter Crouch just can't score like him.

[Tricky Trevor]

Was that Tom Heaton in the huddle then? I remember reading he was doing some training with them at St George's park, but didn't realise he travelled to Germany as well.

Thought I saw Jimmy Floyd Haaselbaink as well. That surprised me.

[boatshed bill]

his mate but Wout has made a big difference

He gets the assist for forcing the corner

[LordBob]

I'd rather play the Dutch the Turkish players are a bit tasty but the main reason I'd rather play the Dutch is the brain dead Turkish crowd boo and whistle whenever Turkey don't have the ball and there are 15 million Turks in Germany, anyway Nederlands just equalised.

[Stayingup]

Wout!!!

Yes terrible technique there on that shot.

[BobSykes]

I'd much rather us play the Dutch in the semi final than the Turks, another good side

You know Wout will come on and bundle in a scruffy winner against us.

Turkey for me please.

[boatshed bill]

2-1 to the Dutch

[Vegas Claret]

And at the same time limited ourselves to even less.

I think we got into good areas but the pull backs and crosses weren't great, I don't think the Swiss did too much tbh. Very tight game overall

[LordBob]

2 - 1 Dutch lads I like it

[martin_p]

Looks like it’ll be the Dutch then. Hope Wout starts!

[BobSykes]

Balls

[BurnleyFC]

I'm not a Southgate fan but they limited a really excellent Swiss team to next to nothing, a much better performance.

Switzerland a really excellent side?

Nah, they’re just okay. As are we.

[LordBob]

Do we buy a sympathetic Toblerone ?

[RVclaret]

Switzerland a really excellent side?

Nah, they’re just okay. As are we.

They dominated Italy and drew with Germany. Solid team.

[Buxtonclaret]

How many chances!!!

[PremierLeagueClass]

If there’s one thing that highlights how out of touch the old men of uptheclarets are, it’s when they say Weghorst isn’t good enough for Burnley.

[Carlos the Great]

Netherlands look good here ,, should be a great game if we play these for a place in the final

[LordBob]

If there’s one thing that highlights how out of touch the old men of uptheclarets are, it’s when they say Weghorst isn’t good enough for Burnley
I don't know who said he isn't good enough, he's more than good enough, I think contract finances might be the defining factor.

[Buxtonclaret]

Some save!

[BurnleyFC]

Really enjoyable end to this one. End to end stuff.

[CoolClaret]

Been unlucky here Turkey. Played some great stuff.

[boatshed bill]

A really entertaining game.

[Buxtonclaret]

It was.
Great watch, that.

[Aclaret]

Now that was more enjoyable than watching our sterile, labouring performance.

[bumba]

Doesn't matter if he's good enough he doesn't want to be here

Your penultimate sentence is spot on. I am sorry, but our approach to football is really poor. We made no attempt to win that game, again. The fact that an unfit Kane was allowed to stay on the pitch until there was no choice was ridiculous.

[PremierLeagueClass]

Doesn't matter if he's good enough he doesn't want to be here

No I agree and we should get shot as soon as we can for that reason, but laughable how some of our fanbase can’t see what he brings.

[bumba]

Good player in the right system, 20 goals in the championship guaranteed but in the premier league he's a waste of space

[bumba]

Agreed again Bumba.

I have no idea wtf a lot of 'pundits' and managers these days think they're doing. It really is a simple game that's needlessly overcomplicated at times.

Southgate really does know how to complicate the simplest things too

[bfcjg]

He might be ,his attitude isn't. Let's hope though you don't get your pocket money stopped for questioning your elders.

[Stproc]

Well that was a right load of utter crap against the mighty Switzerland. Second best yet again.

[AlargeClaret]

Maybe, just maybe, the opposition isn’t quite as bad as people want to make out? They’d drawn with Germany and beaten Italy on their way to the quarters.

Much better performance today, if we continue to improve maybe we’ll peak at exactly the right time!

While the Swiss are certainly no mugs , I thought we outplayed them for large parts of the game without ever actually looking like scoring . Though a bit of high class is what wins in tournaments, and we produced it again, IMO we’ve been lacking that “ bit of magic “ for yrs. We looked a bit more confident and having Saka flying and Bellingham like a force of nature , I’d be more than happy to win this ugly .

[Wile E Coyote]

southgate has a great record, tough job with the media vermin and especially the rancid **** that inhabit the punditry stations.
most successful english manager ever, including ramsey.
About time he was cut some slack. great win earlier, and he just continues doing what he was employed to do without moaning.
also, phenomenal for saka to step up again, regardless of his wages, he endured ridiculous flak for the previous tournament. credit all round.

[bobinho]

Wow! That must’ve been some day out…

[Colburn_Claret]

I don’t know what you was watching, it was a much improved performance.

We went from 2/10 to 4/10. Woopy Doo

With the quality we have available, we massively under achieved, yet again. No ones knocking the players, apart from Kane, but Southgate couldn't organise a **** up in a brewery.

5 games now. How many shots on target. An xg factor of less than 1. It's pathetic
