Denmark v England - Thu 20th June, 17:00 | Euro 2024 Group C

[Brewster's millions]

I am currently laid up at home recovering from a new hip operation and am very happy to watch all the games and have to say enjoying all the matches end to end great teamwork from most of the underdogs great passion from the players, then I watch England.

How’s the hip?

Full match replay at 12:55am on BBC.

You’ll sleep well.

I'd rather watch the half-time replay.

I take it @BlueHammer85 is giving this thread a swerve tonight

He’s still wanking himself off we’re top of the group, he’ll be in shortly

 

[lust overlord]

How’s the hip?

Giving him less pain than watching England at the moment probably.

Gareth Southgate has just called up Kate and Gerry McCann to the England midfield.
He said, “At least they only lost possession once in Europe.”

Oh dear

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

My comment saying no game plan is about that. Players are looking round all the time wondering what to do with the ball or the space, where their mate is, etc etc. What the fuck is waistcoat doing? Not hard to produce a reasonably well oiled machine with quality players. Ok, it’s not like a club but he appears not to do any work with the team formation and each players’ role within it. Does he just chuck eleven on and see what happens?

I am sorely tempted to wrote to the FA with a last Minute application for the job for the remaining fixtures.
Sort of prove a point - I won’t do any worse by simply setting up to play to our strengths, giving the boys belief and allowing them to do what they do best…
FFS!

England is like City back in the day. I'm almost getting to enjoy the chaos again.
You just watch, with 2 minutes to go in the next game, St Jude will be shielding the ball at the corner flag when we actually need a goal.

And to think all these players are there on merit.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

1st half average positions.

Imagine dropping off this deep after going 1-0 up against Denmark.

No wonder the attacking players can’t do anything.

Even Pickford dropped back

 

[Tommy_Catons_Perm]

My God, no replacement for Kalvin Phillips, that surely can't be a genuine quote, if he has said that we're in a bigger mess than I thought

It's a genuine quote. I heard him said live on BBC. I haven't a clue what his point is.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

I've seen milk turn faster than Harry Kane

 

[burning blue soul]

And to think all these players are there on merit.

Playing in their correct positions, pulling together.
Warms the heart!

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Pickford

TAA Stones Guehi Gomez

Rice Bellingham

Saka Foden Gordon

Kane

Great balance to that team.

 

[burning blue soul]

Even Pickford dropped back

He needed a bigger run-up to belt the little round fucker further!!!

 

[sh249]

Next game I‘d go:

————-—-Pickford————
Walker-Stones-Guehi-Trippier
-—-Bellingham-Wharton—
Palmer——Foden——-Gordon
——————-Kane—————-

Shaw for Trippier if fit.
Team that screams out for Grealish on the left …
Would give Kane another chance with a semi-sensible set up behind him.

In reality, it will be the same team with Gallagher for Alexander-Arnold and Gordon for Foden.

WTF? I have no words...

This feels like one of those tournament/career defining quotes from Southgate. To not have found a solution in the amount of time Kalvin Phillips has not been a first team footballer is borderline criminal.

[RayCTID]

The whole side was piss poor though. Of course it’s different to group games. You can’t compare a warm up game to a competitive match.

Based on the Iceland games most of the team should have been dropped if your going off that.

It’s like judging foden on friendly games not on the season he’s just had

Friendlies are still a very good insight on how the team will set up against various sides.

 

[its a Barm]

How’s the hip?

Sore and stiff but little pain done a week ago told will be 8 to 12 weeks recovery.
Thanks for asking

To even think we need a natural replacement for Phillips just shows where his head is at tactically and how conservatively he approaches football
