Group C: Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England

This mess against Germany

 

[Drico]

England ain’t winning this tournament based on that

Not even close

To be fair, no side has really made a strong case to win the tournament yet. It's too early. I think England's issue is the peformances have come in well under the expectation/hype. But that's an age-old issue for England.

 

[Obes]

Think need Gordon on here to stretch the pitch and give us an out-ball. Kane needs to be told stay in the middle of the pitch, high up.

Get TAA off and an actual midfielder in there with Rice. Gallagher or Mainoo.

 

[TheBigIguana]

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

Oh here we go

 

[matty1878]

Genius gameplan this from Southgate.

why is he playing 2 DMs when we have proper attacking talent?

get the useless TAA off the pitch

 

[DuncanPatterson]

This mess against Germany

5 - 1 Germany?

 

[Tin-Tin]

We have seen some lesser quality teams show some good tactics and play some good, fast football. They would kill to have our players.

We turn up and look like its the first time we have qualified for a major tournament.

that’s it we’re to deep as a team and kane dropping back and then no outlet?

 

[Drico]

Oh here we go

Here we go what? It's basic stuff.

He has to earn the right to show how special he is. Right now, he's not doing that.

 

[marsh]

Just push 10 to 15 yards higher up the pitch, it makes a massive difference

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

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.

How do you reckon his team talks go? I can't picture him getting mad and I can't see how Foden, walker and Co take his instructions seriously

I know you despise them but ze Germans look strong and France has a team of demons running around assuming Mbappe is fit again. They’ve both impressed me.

 

[Huyton Layne]

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

Part of the problem may be that he used to having a leftback behind him and a team that plays flowing football.

mate it’s mad innit we have proper talent

GS is holding them back
