Serbia v England - Sun 16th June, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Group C

[Jonas.shaffer]

Why? If he was that poor surely he’d have been carted? He played the full 90.

I'm his biggest fan, but most would agree it was a surprise he played the full 90.

As someone else mentioned, it probably means he won't start the next match.

 

[It'sBlue93:20]

Just those two? Throw Ake, Kdb, Haaland, Bernie and Doku in there

Yeah all of those aswell - i was highlighting the shocking build-up England had.

 

[Gordyola]

Anyone surprised?

 

[BlueHammer85]

Really good first half
second half was poor - few players look tired and nervy and we gave away ball alot.

major positive that's not been mentioned is how well the back line did under pressure - that's a big plus going forward as that's the area i'm worried about the most.

Fair play to Serbia, they really upped their game and put us on the back foot.

Bellingham and Saka superb that first half, Rice broke up play well and credit to Pickford and the back 4.

Wasn't pretty but top of the group, 3 points, clean sheet and we'll be stronger as we progress. bring on the Danes.

To be honest I don’t see much wrong with that. I love foden but he has never done it for England. He has to do more otherwise eze or Gordon deserve a chance

Oh do fuck off. I hope he never plays for the useless **** (Southgate) again so we don’t have to listen to the likes of you chatting absolute shite.

He never got in the game and wasn’t the Foden we know but he literally give up making runs when it became clear nobody was capable of slipping balls into him when he made space.

That was an awful watch and not many come out with credit.

The fact that blues are getting on his case sums this place up.

 

[kanovic]

My god that was boring

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Foden should be playing inside Saka and behind Hotspur ..it's that simple

But he did play centrally for a good part of the second half and didn't do much

I am going off how he has been commentated on and the early report after the game calling out his performence and how the england shirt weighs heavy on him

 

[Craig]

Always the way, because he spends the first half playing Roy of the rovers type stuff

Did the same against us in the champions league, and gets brought off in both legs

Foden helps control a game if you give him the ball, Bellingham is still naive enough to think running around a lot is the key to winning big games

He was the stand out player on the pitch. Seems an utter bell but he is some footballer. So good he’s got much more to his game than Phil

Nope

You’re an embarrassment.

Why are they trying to make Sweet Caroline a thing

Having lived in Boston long enough to hear the pissed white person anthem hundreds of times, I think that song should not only be banned, it should be a capital offence to sing it.

 

[lust overlord]

Won despite a difficult 2nd half.
Serbia pushed us back 2nd half.
Thought Southgate got the subs right this time in that he recognised Saka and T.aa weren't as effective and got some energy in midfield.
Think he left Foden on for his ball recycling,otherwise he was ineffective as well.
First 30 minutes good rest not so.
City boys at the back were good.

 

[TinFoilHat]

"All about the 3 points"

"Slow starts are good"

Blah blah blah

 

[SamBlue]

Wank. Absolutely no pattern to the play.

No pattern, no tactics, no positional nous, absolutely nothing! But hey, let's pretend!

 

[madloaf]

Anyone surprised?

It was exactly what all of us expected so much so it's kind of unnerving. We have champions league winners, premier league winners, and the manager has no idea. Literally no idea.

 

[Streetsweeper]

We were what we are, some talented players, some cart horses and a coach who is deeply versed in thirty years of English ‘style’. We spent the second half lashing it long against a team of Ivan Drago’s and expecting it not to keep coming back. No wonder Foden looks lost - City might as well be playing a different sport to the way England play.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Still the Bellingham wankfest continues.

 

[minimalistic]

Pure shite. Love everyone in the studio talking it up. Mainoo …….. give me a break. After watching Pep’s football for years watching ingerlund hoofball just infuriates me.
