England v France - Sat 10th Dec, 19:00 | Quarter-final | World Cup 2022

Regardless, after this tournament southgate needs to go. He will end up doing a martinez at belgium and waisting a generatuonal talent

And you know what southgate & martinez have in common....not one top european club would employ them

Says it all

Don’t hold your breath FArce have already said he’s staying until the Euros

 

[SebastianBlue]

Not saying Phil is as good as Messi but there are certain football basics they both share and one thing Phil hasn't mastered yet it how to drop a little bit into the midfield and get into the build up play, that's something Messi is great at and this England team needs someone to take up that role and from what I can see, if anyone is going to do it, it has to be Phil.

You keep saying this as if he isn’t under instructions to stay positionally disciplined to allow Kane to roam, who is the one that plays the free role under Southgate.

 

[WestGorton]

He’s several levels below Rodri.

He's ok but not Rodri

Foden got fed up being stuck out on the left with no service, came inside and caused havoc.

Havoc !!!! pmsl

The problem is that Harry Kane is looking all the time to go down and the ref knows it so he ain’t getting fuck all and the same with Saka .

But VAR are supposed to look at each case on merit (supposedly ) not reacting to which individual involved.

 

[super_city_si]

He has quite a few times and has been largely ignored.

And he is definitely not in a free role. Kane is the one in a free role, which forces Phil to play mostly in the left wing zone.

With Shaw constantly standing next to him. Fuck all space

 

[jaiguruKun]

Much prefer Clive Tyledesley to Twatterface

 

[dadnlad]

We waste too much time passing it about by the centre spot. Keeping posse's is fine when we're level but we need to score.

But pep teams just pass it about

 

[give it to gordon]

Foden got fed up being stuck out on the left with no service, came inside and caused havoc.

Southgate will probably tell phil of for that and sub him off !

 

[SamBlue]

Foden - wasted in that position and this formation, had 48 decent seconds connecting our play when he decided to move around, firmly told to fuck off back wide left
Saka - poor
Kane - decent
Bellingham - poor
Henderson - don't get it what he was doing in the first half
Rice - he should have been where Bellingham was for their goal, as always morphing with our back four when pushed by better teams, not my kind of player. useless going forward or doing anything in attacking phase
Back four - actually decent
Pickford - hmmmmmmm......

Ref - joke

I hope a soft penalty brigade here are satisfied with this ref and VAR
