It didn’t change the game England just got lucky with that knobhead Bellingham scoring and as soon as Kane scored it was on the back foot again . The hype surrounding England is incredible and what it has done is made an average group of footballers into superstars. As for Southgate I think he is out ic his depth and tbh the players are not as good we think .

France pressing the Belgium defence with 4, 5 or 6 is a lot more effective than England’s 1 or 2
They’ve haven’t scored a goal from open play the whole tournament . They’ve been nothing special at all. If this was England vast majority would be going mad and calling us shit.

I didn't think they were good - Kyle, Phil 'n Johnny excepted, because we haven't got one player who can take the game by the scruff of the neck, stamp his mark on it and deliver a performance that puts him on a par with anyone else at this tournament. We have a pattern of play that publicises a simple mesasge - we are, as a group, frightened to death of losing and as such we must make sure we contain the opponents rather than putting them under the cosh from the first whistle.It didn’t change the game England just got lucky with that knobhead Bellingham scoring and as soon as Kane scored it was on the back foot again .

Whataboutery again Mark.
France have been shit,I'm not French so I don't give a fuck.
England have been shit,I'm English, so it's fucking annoying watching us play the same way constantly and stinking the place out.

Rice and Mainoo appear ring fenced from criticism but neither tracked back quick enough to block Slovakia's goal scorer
That's why Walker ended up in no man's land, albeit not helped by Stones following the ball

We are all looking at the players. The problem is that those players are playing waistcoats’ system.He’s not my cup of tea, but it’s hard to have a go at his record, and at some point you have to look at the players.
Failed in 3 tournaments the buck stops with Southgate.He’s not my cup of tea, but it’s hard to have a go at his record, and at some point you have to look at the players.

the lack of decent analysis of what is going wrong is laughable.
It does explain why they are 'analysing' and and not managing. :) I can feel myself becoming dumber when I listen to them.

Perhaps it’s more the nature of international football though is the point.

I was specifically talking about the effectiveness of their forward and midfield pressing. It was excellent and done as a team. That’s all I saidThey’ve haven’t scored a goal from open play the whole tournament . They’ve been nothing special at all. If this was England vast majority would be going mad and calling us shit.
