Anyone surprised?

Nope

Really good first half
second half was poor - few players look tired and nervy.

major positive that's not been mentioned is how well the back line did under pressure - that's a big plus going forward as that's the area i'm worried about the most.

Fair play to Serbia, they really upped their game and put us on the back foot.

Bellingham and Saka superb that first half, Rice broke up play well and credit to Pickford and the back 4.

Wasn't pretty but top of the group, 3 points, clean sheet and we'll be stronger as we progress. bring on the Danes.

You’re an embarrassment.

Why are they trying to make Sweet Caroline a thing

Having lived in Boston long enough to hear the pissed white person anthem hundreds of times, I think that song should not only be banned, it should be a capital offence to sing it.

Won despite a difficult 2nd half.
Serbia pushed us back 2nd half.
Thought Southgate got the subs right this time in that he recognised Saka and T.aa weren't as effective and got some energy in midfield.
Think he left Foden on for his ball recycling,otherwise he was ineffective as well.
First 30 minutes good rest not so.
City boys at the back were good.

"All about the 3 points"

"Slow starts are good"

Blah blah blah

 

[SamBlue]

Wank. Absolutely no pattern to the play.

No pattern, no tactics, no positional nous, absolutely nothing! But hey, let's pretend!

 

[madloaf]

Anyone surprised?

It was exactly what all of us expected so much so it's kind of unnerving. We have champions league winners, premier league winners, and the manager has no idea. Literally no idea.

 

[Streetsweeper]

We were what we are, some talented players, some cart horses and a coach who is deeply versed in thirty years of English ‘style’. We spent the second half lashing it long against a team of Ivan Drago’s and expecting it not to keep coming back. No wonder Foden looks lost - City might as well be playing a different sport to the way England play.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Still the Bellingham wankfest continues.

 

[minimalistic]

Pure shite. Love everyone in the studio talking it up. Mainoo …….. give me a break. After watching Pep’s football for years watching ingerlund hoofball just infuriates me.
