Group C: Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

England ain’t winning this tournament based on that

Not even close

 

[Drico]

when kane drops in its just to try and soak up as a team

but when we break there’s nobody up they’re

I agree that the structure is wrong. But the so-called best midfielder in the world is regularly losing balls that he is 60/40 to win at times. He's simply not turned up. Less of the posturing and more performing needed from him.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Southgate is killing England with his two defensive midfielders.

Before the game.

And still this.

Patentic from Southgate the big gorm.

He's setup to contain. It's well too deep.

Players aren't used to how Southgate is asking them to play.

Clown.

 

[Jamiednm]

Fodens head has gone

I don’t blame him.

 

[Drico]

Winning 60-40 tackles isn’t what makes him special

But it's what EVERY player has to do to make the team, let alone be special.

 

[matty1878]

sorry but give me this england squad and i’d have us 5-0
up by now

terrible tactics GS

Foden is having a 'Frank Lampard at the 2006 World Cup' of a Tournament so far

The usual problems of we pick midfielders who are used to other players at their clubs dictating play. Bellingham is just standing around waiting for Kroos and Modric to do something except it’s Rice and Alexander Arnold just passing it sideways.

Playing a right back at left back (trippier) a right back who’s never played in centre mid (Alexander-Arnold), Rice who’s losing the plot with the lack of movement.

Even Kane is a hindrance despite his 6 yard tap in.

Southgate is a joke.

 

[the golden visionary]

No-one on this panel will criticise Southgate

 

[Number_25]

lmao

 

[carolinablue232]

Alexander-Arnold needs replacing with an actual footballer

Deploying him as an invisible holding mid against an inferior team when you already have Rice blows my mind. Let Palmer play next to Jude and just win the game

 

[Dharma]

Genius gameplan this from Southgate.

 

[Milkman]

Foden is the only one that seems to get that you have to play with some urgency to not be crap at football

 

[matty1878]

I don’t blame him.

think myself he’s kinda trying to much

 

[longers]

Take TAA off, put Bellingham back there, Foden to middle and sub someone rapid onto the left
