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

[axlgod]

Media want tront in midfield - shergar picks him.

Media want mainoo in midfield - shergar (will probably pick him)

Media want Phil as a 10 - shergar….no fucking chance.

I was quoting someone from earlier in the thread ya muppet. Seems you and many others didn’t see it.


That aside, my opinion. thought we played much better than the previous 2 opening games (which isn’t saying much) - but least we pretty much dominated possession and camped them in their own half- just the final product or finish let us down. subs that come on for us looked lively and played well.
Slovenia camped the box, defended for their lives and fell down feigning injury which broke the game up loads, the ref was shit aswell. frustrating match but a few positives we can take.
Avoiding Germany Saturday is probably the biggest positive though.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Drop St Bellingham and we could still salvage some scintilla of self-respect.
But we know there are too many vested interests and a lack of bottle for that.

 

[Craig]

Gordon isn't brillant either to be honest. He too would have struggled with more game time.

I’m not saying he is by any stretch but that left side has been nonexistent in terms of threat and the balance is a joke with a right footed fullback. Obviously he should’ve taken Grealish but he didn’t fit his quota for games played:)

Your loyalty to this shower is commendable.

Southgate fucked up his squad. There isn't a single player who can currently change England's fortunes. The Iceland friendly showed England's deficencies.

 

[willipp]

Just for his passion I’d have Ange over this **** in a heartbeat

The FA wouldn’t though. Even when Southgate is finally potted, the next in line will be someone like Lee Carsley. the whole England setup is made up of failed, no hope managers and coaches and who have never achieved anything. No suprise we are abject failures.

 

[kinggoat64]

Welsh blue here guys supporting England all the way
I'm a football supporter not a prick
Do believe you've got to many good players not to come good soon
Sorry to say after watching Declan rice play tonight
And people compare him to rodri couldn't lace rodri boots
Only my opinion we might have missed a granide not signing him but we'll see

 

[jimharri]

I'm not sure "commendable" is the word I'd use.

 

[meeesh]

Got to wait for when England crash out.

Why

If you think all that was missing was the final product then there is genuinely no fucking hope for you pal.

Like Sven?

 

[RayCTID]

Why

FA aren't going to sack him mid tournament.

 

[A57 the snake]

I think Gareth’s put a sneaky monkey on England going out in the last 16 ,
Seems to be the trend at the moment.

No they won’t, I know that, but they should as other nations fa’s have balls but not our arseholes

Gordon came on in the 89th minute and the first thing he did was run the ball out of play FFS.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Due to ill health (nothing serious hopefully) I missed out on a gig tonight I had been looking forward to. So I watched England on TV. Wish I had gone to bed earlier

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

We stink. We really stink the place out.

I actually quite like Southgate as a bloke, he seems like he genuinely tries to be a decent bloke.
No matter how strong willed a person is I imagine the mental pressure to bend to public opinion and media pressure is pretty immense, so I'm not going to call him silly names, but fuck me his tactics are dull.

There's safe and there's this walking-football bullshit we're being served up.

Decent subs. Mainoo and Palmer both did better than the lads they replaced, so that's a positive I hope.

But where's that Bellingham kid from those Adidas adverts? When's he going to come on and get some minutes?

Seriously, that fraud needs dropping, tell everybody he's picked up a knock or that he's physically fucked to save his face so that his all important PR image isn't trashed, just drop the lazy useless EA sports computer game lie, he's a fake.
