Southgate. The thinking mans dick head.

Well if we get knocked out then it's Bellingham's fault, as simple as that.
If he's carrying us as the press are alluding to then he has to carry the can if we go out.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Have looked at some player ratings
Phil got the lowest on the team, a 5 in the guardian
How exactly was he worse than Kane?
Stones got a 5 on goal.com, and 8 in other places

someone else gave Walker a 5
I thought he was good

I thought Stones and Walker did pretty well. Foden was off his game, very few progressive passes, seemed a little intimidated by the Serbian physicality and the ref let a lot go. I thought Bellingham avoided many passes to Foden throughout the game, not sure if this was a lack of trust or player rivalry? Even as a City fan unfortunately I can't argue with Foden having the lowest rating on his overall display. Hopefully he’ll improve going forward.

All fodens fault I’m hearing and reading this morning. The tactical genius that is Stuart Pearce would have taken him off after half an hour apparently! Probably wanted to replace him Ramsdale!

A twat of the highest order IMO - just don't get the hype

Stay away from BBC Sport this morning. Fucking nauseating.

Stay away from BBC Sport this morning. Fucking nauseating.

I turned off SSN on the TV for the same reason, if they're trying to turn the country against him then it's a very cunning ploy that's working.

BBC running with Foden fails to shine yet in the same article “was Arnold a success”.

Arnold was a huge disaster as we all knew he would be but its glossed over, Bellingham did not turn up in the 2nd half, again not mentioned, and instead of putting Phil in midfield he brings on Gallagher.
Phil did not play too well but its hard when your not being passed to and you have a right footed limited left back behind you. Saka had an excellent Walker behind him creating space for them both, again this point being ignored or the useless media can not see it.

So even when England were on top, Foden should've been hooked

 

[jonah62]

I’d be happy if Phil never kicked a ball again in this tournament
Let’s be honest England aren’t going deep, so he can train,rest up, watch the clown show evolve from the sidelines, and not be the media’s whipping boy

Must have watched a different game to the one in which "Jude" was World Class.
I did see one in which someone was World class in seeking out camera opportunities though.
