England v Slovenia - Tue 25th June, 20:00 | Euro 2024 Group C

[Mr Partridge]

Gallagher in for Trent just proves what we all knew...that Southgate doesn't actually know what the problem is. If you can't identify the problem you won't find the solution.

Tonight is the night England turn it on. Bring it home Phil.

Yep, if Gallagher is the answer then the wrong question is being asked.

Absolutely true

I'd certainly play Gallagher over Arnold in midfield if it was literally the only choice I was given and nothing else.

But the fact Gareth has a squad full of players and the freedom to change approach and the best he can come up with is start Gallagher over Arnold...

Its barely a change, he's been swapping Gallagher for Arnold after about 50 minutes anyway.

Trent being taken out is the key thing. It would be nice to see Bellingham playing alongside Rice and Foden having more of a free reign but I think he gets that anyway, he seems to be all over the frontline during the game. Hopefully there will be more a plan around pressing and doing that as a team.

But there's no excuses now for the team, we need to get a head of steam going into the knockout phases, we do NOT need a more conservative approach now. I can understand if they're trying to get the team-form timing right and making sure it snowballs towards the semi's, but now is that time.

I expect us to win handsomely tonight tbf.

 

[VOOMER]

Not sure we actually need a midfield when Prickford simply bypasses.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Buzzin' for this...cannot wait for the fucking epic show Gareth is about to unleash upon us all.

It's gonna be fucking biblical.

Are you saying it's coming home?

 

[TinFoilHat]

This Southgate-ball brings back PTSD from the Pearce days.

Beany the horse will be in attendance tonight.

1-1 draw.

TAA isn't the problem because where is no one making runs in behind anyways, so he can't play those line breaking passes like De Bruyne did for Belgium against Romania, even though their passing technique and range are almost identical. If there was movement up front and Gordon played at LW, he would consistently feed him with those diagonal balls, leaving him play 1 v 1 in isolation. Or Southgate could drop Walker and put TAA at right-back. It's Slovenia not Spain or Germany.

Or Southgate could drop Walker and put TAA at right-back.

I'm sure that would go down well.
