In reply to Post #391 I'll go with that. Trent in defence worries me though, although if he steps up and has a few good games we'll be laughing. I'd play Jude before Foden, I'm not convinced we can play both at the same time. Do you or don't you with Saka is the conundrum. It looks like the Dutch next game, he may struggle against the big lads they have as he gets knocked over easily. However it should be like a premier league game so he might work. I'm convinced if we attack it will go well for us, just not sure wether that word features in Southgate's vocabulary though.

Top of the group, unbeaten whilst playing awful football you have to take that. It's the only positive mind.
Didn't look any better without Trent in the side....
Looked better 2nd half after replacing Gallagher with Mainoo who needs to start next game for me.
Is it just me or is Foden afraid to tackle? He seemed to pull out of every 50-50, Closing down was good but put your foot in lad!
I also agree that I would like to see us start the next game as we finished this one.
Not sure if there's an issue with Trippier but play Walker at left back if you have to, he's offered nothing on the right anyway.

Would probably go Foden over Bellingham and Gordan over Saka tbh.
At least you know that Palmer and Gordon will make runs to take advantage of Trent's passing range and not be afraid to take their fullbacks on. I think Foden is better as a 10 than Bellingham, although neither of them are an out and out 10.
Remember lads, it just an opinion.

I gave them until half time in my head before the match thinking they must get better, note to self...don't bother next time. Simply dreadful, again. Mrs watched the second half alone, I found watering the garden far more enjoyable

Glad I didn’t bother again lol
Guessing 0-0

In reply to Post #387 Agree
He's got a squad of players who all play fast, attacking, high turnover 433 football
So he plays a 4231 defensive system with no pace up front
It's not rocket science ffs

Southgate has no idea . Abysmal.

I just can't...England have now got the easy draws, Southgate will get us to the semis and be praised for what good management and how far he's got us, on sheer luck again. He needs to go, if he stays after this tournament it's a disgrace.

In reply to Post #384 There was a bit of promise, a little bit

Boring until the subs came on. Should start the next match with what we finished on.

In reply to Post #382 *****
I sit watching it thinking fek me, hope we go out, it’s like torture ffs.
Even if we win this Southgate has to go, he has had plenty of time now. It ain’t entertaining footballl

This is bloody awful
Only Southgate could make Bellingham look average.
Walker, saka, kane ... all pointless

And fodens on the left again...Jesus Christ.

In reply to Post #379 ....I wouldn't go that far
Edit, great result for Austria, deserved the win, if only Netherlands would've turned up in the 1st half but can't complain, great match.
Netherlands England poss if they finish top, pick the bones out of that, if so I think England will be too strong.
