That team should be great but they all act like complete strangers every time they put on an England shirt. Nobody wants to pass to the footballer of the year.

Down to poor managememt and the don't be adventurous attitude of the cockend

Intl football is just sh*te

Hate to say it but I think our lads will have a poor Euro 24 tournament. It's a tournament too far for them after a marathon season, where do you find that extra energy from after playing 60 games in the past season?. Other players will be equally as poor as well and I can see us reaching the quarters and that's your lot

Best if they all just refused to play. Its sh*te intl football. Too many games by far

So, who made 2 goals against Bosnia and was then sent home...
Not there tonight and...
Southgate is a fucking clown.
Pissing away the best chance we have ever had to win a trophy since 1966..

The defence is poor and sub elite lad in nets = no tournament sides win with that nowadays. Int football is all about limiting opposition opportunity to score. Cant see us stopping the French for e.g.

Not watched but would Jack have made a difference?

i see sadly Johnny Glass is injured again. Hopefully it'll give him the summer off.

Yeah - England turgid in possession with very little penetration and very few chances created. Everything a bit disjointed. Crying out for what Grealish (and Maddison) did against Bosnia.

Early reports said Stones'll be okay, but I'm not confident he's in a state to play all of every match for however far England get.

That’s part of the problem, no?

As it's an invented situation, no, it's not part of a non-existent "problem". *eye roll*

Never any forward planning with waistcoat . Plenty of talk about new and exciting players in the squad but that is only because he persisted with the likes of Henderson and Rashford for far too long.

I laugh whenever I see Shaw at LB. Surely there's a better choice in all of the people around the world with an English parent.

he's rarely fit and a bit tubby but I think he's not a bad player when he's actually fit enough to play.

I don't think being slung in at CB for the rags when he's barely fit does him any favours.

When he's match fit and at left back he's OK, not a world beater but solid enough.

Anyone watching John Stones playing in the FA Cup final can see there's no way he's in condition to play every few days in tournament football.

England are so thin on talent at the back that they'll play him until he's crocked.

My bet is he won't last the group stage.

Keeps Mainoo and Gallagher whilst sending home Grealish and Maddison sums the bloke up. He cannot get beyond his two defensive minded midfielders and thus cannot possibly win a tournament.
He’s trying to play some sort of possession game but filling his team with player who don’t play like that.
Rags are an entirely counterattacking team, similarly Liverpool, Palace and Madrid with no idea what Chelsea are.
