England's midfield will be overwhelmed by a fast attacking team and destroyed. The new media narrative being pushed last night by the clueless pundits was England "do better against the better teams." It's truly desperate.
We lack midfielders that can receive the ball on the half turn under pressure and turn out of that press.

Rico Lewis would have been better than all we have currently tried at that.
 
Could England have a better route through to the final ?
I'm not saying they'll get through to the final but Southgate's luck holds yet again
 
We won’t have more space
teams like Slovakia , Slovenia, Serbia etc just make it hard to break down, that’s why they hold their own against other nations. Yes we SHOULD still be comfortably winning but it can be difficult when they camp the box, fake injuries, time waste etc.

I’m struggling to think of many sides that have looked that great, Spain and Austria maybe.

If we did play Holland, it would probably be much better to watch, they would attack us more and this would allow more space for Foden, Bellingham, Saka and others. We’ve been really poor this tournament but I thought tonight was more positive than negative and the predictable outrage is nauseating, we look so entitled when we top the group and fans are booing in anger.
because Southgate will have us camped at the edge of our box hanging on for penalties.
As for some of your other posts regarding last nights ‘performance’ you’re kidding yourself. It’s awful, no excuses to create 3 chances all game, one offside, one no contact in the cross and the final one a half chance that finally hit the target.

The whole set up is wrong, 3 players stink the place out again last night yet all 3 are undroppable:
Kane
Rice
Bellingham.

All have done nothing in 3 games to prove they should be starting.

Rice is woefully out of his depth and just doesn’t have a clue how to play the pivot role. The fact we’ve tried 3 different players alongside him against absolute minnows in world football shows how poor he is and that Southgate doesn’t trust him alone either, makes no options for players with ball, hides and when he does get it usually gives it straight back.

Kane out of form , slow and doesn’t seem to know where to be plus shoots from stupid angles hoping for the glory.

As for Bellingham I’ve no words, over hyped show pony.

Needs to keep the back 4, put Fiden in the middle with Rice and Wharton plus Watkins, Saka/Palmer and Gordon.

Though I don’t feel we’ve any chance against the Dutch anyway.

Rice doesnt want the ball, hides behind their player, never shows for it
 
This feels like England of old with little groups of players disliking other groups of players. Just look at bellend and taa.
Yeah I get that feeling too. The last two tournaments there was a noticeable improvement in togetherness and everyone got on. Put Bellend in the mix and take out people like Grealish and those cliques return pretty quickly. It’s not a group that is working together.
 
I never wanted Moyes to go and ideally would have kept him.

would of been happy with Southgate to come in after - think he would actually be a good fit for us.
If only it would happen. It might put an end to your intolerable drivel. England have been the worst side to watch throughout the tournament and by chance they have another easy route to the final which he will undoubtedly fuck up

just him right ? we can't lose a match because on the day the team have played better? we can't lose a game because we was unlucky with a few chances? a few players off their game? a refs decision? - lose and it's purely 100% down to the manager no matter what.

Did you see him in the post match interview…looked like he wanted to cry… ‘why is everyone picking on me, calling me boooorrriiinnnggg…it’s so unfair’.
 
There was jubilation about dropping players like Sterling, Grealish, Rashford, Phillips and Henderson because they were in the wilderness but they were reliable for Southgate's system. Even when they were naff for their respective clubs they still performed for England.

Had he stuck with his five at the back and the same old faces, I suspect we'd be looking better in the lead up the knockouts, now I doubt we'll even make the quarters.

I think in the end he caved to the media/fan pressure and gave everyone what they wanted. Foden, Bellingham, Rice, TAA all on the same pitch and it's actually gone backwards.
 
Same old shite just a different games.
Only good news is nobody else is pulling up trees and Germany haven't been tested yet. So it's there to win if we're capable of winning at penalties.
We should be ok, Waistcoat is good at bringing specific players on to take the pens......................:-)
 
Xg really makes no difference to me.
I don't know why it's even a thing.
It means fuck all
I think it’s one of the better stats and a far better indicator than say shots on target which could be 10 shots from the half straight at the keeper and none of them testing him. Xg tells you how at least how a team is doing in regards to creating goal scoring chances.

That being said, I don’t need stats to know England are shit and southgate doesn’t having a fucking clue what he’s doing.
