England v Slovenia - Tue 25th June, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Group C

[hertsblue]

Piss easy qualifying group, piss easy Group stage, win group and piss easy route to the final, lose to 1st decent team met in final. Southgate gets media praise. Rinse and repeat.

The centre of our midfield is a fucking wasteland.
Bellingham is never a 10, Rice is overrated, Gallagher is toss.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Foden best player on the pitch. Guaranteed he'll be the first one to get hooked

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

If only we had Kalvin Phillips playing…

 

[Gray]

The BBC v ITV battle of who’s built the best studio and got the best pundits is far more exciting than the football.

 

[GornikDaze]

Even then I think the FA will tell the new guy he's contractually obliged to pick him to flog shirts to kids with the attention span of a goldfish who rate him of a highly edited 30 second TikTok.

You can see that with the Hey Jude ad at the break - marketeers wet dream

 

[Don Karleone]

 

[Legacyfan1986]

Is he the new Pogba?

Have brum come in with an 80 mil bid yet?

 

[SCEtoAUX]

Nobody wants to admit the team should be built around Foden. I give you Hudson, Currie, Hoddle, Le Tissier, Lampard. All for different reasons.

And Gasgoine?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Looking at this tournament I am not convinced that this is a totally happy squad behind the scenes

I think Bellingham has come in and the cliques are back that Southgate tried fucking off after the Gomes/Sterling fight.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

A guy who has done fuck all as well to warrant a tournament call up

Except wear a red shirt

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

No but absolving Southgate of this particular issue is, it was always a glaring mistake.

Oh, I'm not absolving him, far too crazy a gamble to play IMO.

 

[bluemoon32]

Really doesn't look like a happy squad

 

[Gray]

Foden best player on the pitch. Guaranteed he'll be the first one to get hooked

Oh please do it Gareth, want him well rested for next season.

 

[stan bowles]

Looking at this tournament I am not convinced that this is a totally happy squad behind the scenes

Southgate has no charisma or tactical ability to inspire anyone.

 

[Revolver]

As a Beatles fan Hey Jude being used to praise the over hyped Bellingham tops off a miserable 45 mins.

Although I can see now why some Arsenal fans think Rice is better than Rodri.

 

[Nellies left peg]

The BBC v ITV battle of who’s built the best studio and got the best pundits is far more exciting than the football.

Why do we need so many pundits? It’s a job for the boys and same old faces

 

[bridgeno1]

Looking at this tournament I am not convinced that this is a totally happy squad behind the scenes

It isn't. The body language is terrible, Stones has been gesturing at Pickford, Rice has been gesturing at pretty much everyone, Bellingham is being a ****.

Sack Southgate and bring Mourinho in for the second half and rest of the tournament. We'll shithouse our way to the title.

 

[hertsblue]

Funny thing is he was more involved than Bellingham but he seems incapable of having criticism off anyone

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Ange didn’t say it but we all knew what he meant.

Put. Phil. In. The. Fucking. Middle.

The middle doesn't exist. There's a huge fucking gap there any time any of the defenders have the ball. I'd honestly be tempted to play Foden in the 8 position at this point, just to have someone in there who can receive the ball, turn and play a forward pass, because Rice, Gallagher and Bellingham have been nowhere near it.
