Crying out for Phil and Raheem to swap sides.

Badly.

If Sterling had that run where he should have shot early doors, on the right, we’d have scored. If he’d had that chance to cross it early to Foden, from the right, we’d have had a chance.

But they both happened on the left and one ended up with no shot and the other ended up with a shit cross.

I’m sick of seeing Sterling play on the left now, he’s a much MUCH better player on the right.

Take Mount off at HT he’s been non-existent for 99% of that half. Move Foden in to the middle and get him turning on the ball and running at the defence.

Mount isnt the problem. Him ans foden havent been seen since the first 5 cos were just hoofing it.
we need rice and phillips to demand the ball in the middle from pickford

We don't have a midfield, the center of the pitch is just completely empty when we have the ball as neither Phillips or Rice is capable of taking up a position to get the ball and move it forwards. So instead we just go sideways across the back, then play down the wings, which is incredibly predictable. Every now and then Sterling makes a good run in behind for us to chip it over to, but the rest of the time we are just wasting time knocking it about harmlessly

The only time I ever though Pickford was useful with his feet was when he booted Van Dijk’s knee into splinters

Absolute garbage. Southgate has no balls.
He needs to take off one of Phillips or rice and put an extra forward on. Go for it for Christ’s sake.

Taking Phillips off after that half would the decision of a simpleton...let's see if Southgate is one.

Good first 15 from England. After that the pace dropped and we started going long regularly. Sterling looks the most dangerous but doesn't look like he has any end product.

Good to see traditional match day thread standards being upheld for the Euros.

 

[M12Blue]

Southgate wants England to play out from the back, but there’s no one to pass to.
Huge gap between back 4 and the rest.
It’ll cost them if they don’t sort that out.

Agree mate, Rice not brave enough to take responsibility. Pickford and hoof ball the result.
Great first 20, but meh since

Even jenas wants more from kane and he is a fan boy

He’s looked a bit off for me

To be fair that would be the highlight of any players career
