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

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Pep has ruined football management for charlatans like Gareth..

 

[Stelea]

Not one of the panel has mentioned that Bellingham has been AWOL for the last 2.5 games

 

[Phil1]

Luckiest manager in the world.
Until the FA faces a serious shake up with their outdated policies of recruitment and are held to account for choosing safe over effective England will never lift a trophy.

 

[stan bowles]

Saka at LB ?

 

[its a Barm]

Not one positive about the performance of the team he will not change the team everyone in the country can see the problems but he can't fuckin clueless

 

[Thaksins Love Child]

Ian Wright wants Saka at left back for the knock outs. Wtf?

 

[A57 the snake]

I’m be out in a minority but I don’t get this sub business , different from coming on tonight in a a virtual dead rubber ,
It’s game on , on Sunday.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Another issue is that we're not even good at set pieces. That was always a key part of Southgate's 'masterplan' and I can't remember the last time we looked dangerous from a corner or free kick.

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

Yep.

Or act with done class like the rest of them.

England fans inventing booing national anthems 25/06/2024
In an ideal world, nobody would but unfortunatley, some countries don’t like other countries

Wales fans v English national anthem
Ireland fans v English national anthem
Scottish fans v English national anthem
Many many more who boo other countries anthems

Take your head out of your arse and watch highlights on Youtube.

All as bad as each other

Slightly better prospect than luke shaw being dragged out of Greg’s to play his first game of football in 6 months ;-)

 

[adrianr]

Jesus christ we really do never learn. Hot player comes on for 10 minutes against tired legs and suddenly he's the solution to all our problems.

Is anyone going to address how Bellingham once again stunk the place out and has no business playing at 10?

 

[East Level 2]

Ditch the clown and get Allardyce in. Not the hoof and hope Allardyce but the one that had Bolton playing some good stuff with Okocha and Djorkaeff.
It might be a disaster but would be better than the clown in charge currently.

It's one of stupidest things I've ever heard but It's no more stupid than what's happening on the pitch right now. But yep, wtf?!?

 

[1961_vintage]

Imagine this twat in the trenches

Shot by his own men in no time at all.

Its because they hyped him to such an extent they feel the need not to look silly. Pundits are like fans someone has a half decent showing he is the guy until he isn't next match

 

[inbetween]

Many have called this England side the best in a generation and to a degree it is but in many respects it also isn't. We have a few good inside forwards and a decent striker, that's it. Everything else is not better than the other teams in the competition. The city lads like Stones and Walker have been there and done it but they look lost in this side.

Every decent team at this level is decided by its midfield and ours is really poor. Where's the Rodri winning the ball, controlling play and pinging the ball about? There's nothing but a sea of empty between defence and attack. The biggest thing that Pep has done at city is he's melted those two together.

You only have to look at that first 20 minutes. The fullbacks and centre backs get the ball and they have nowhere to go. There is no midfield coming to collect, there's no Rodri holding the ball whilst everyone pivots around him. We're just forced wide and it's so predictable unless we're prepared to take risks and move it quicker but we aren't.

We'll see who we get next but I think the only chance we have is if the team gets a kick up the arse and starts to respond to its critics instead of sulking about it. Tonight should of been about a response and a show of mental strength but instead it was a slow game against a tricky team which was ready for us, did we even have a shot??

Don't tell Gazeth.
First we've haven't replaced Phillips and now we can't replace slab'eads goals!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Who genuinely thought Gallagher was the answer to the problems with the team other than Southgate? 45 minutes later he realised what everyone else already knew before the kick off.

He's so risk averse, so scared, that I imagine him getting in the bath with a fucking polystyrene float and wearing blow up armbands.

 

[Stelea]

Neville calling for Terrance Trent Darby at RB, until he costs us defensively

Car-crash Football.
