Southgate looks worried and doesn't exude confidence.
No need to worry, we've got this tournament in the bag. |

Sitting too deep again. It shows when Pickford is busy with his feet. This is tedious.

Typical fùcking boring, negative, unimaginative, shìte Southgate/England performance again. Don't say that to Harry Kane though, he might start crying again. Complete contrast second half; 3-1. Bring on the Dutch.  |

The current Mrs T has control of the TV and remote. I have my lap top and headphones on. She cannot understand why she is more excited about bake off. I can though.

Southgate's responsibility for the negative "be patient" tactics. I pity any supporters who get to watch his football if he moves back into club football.

Another Scotland-esque performance. Slovenia defended well and we didn’t have a clue how to unlock them.
Let’s hope a more attacking team allow a bit more space to open them up. I hope we don’t bail out with a whimper.

Harry Kane suggesting that we might need extra time and penalties in the next round, says it all really. This much vaunted front line, cannot play properly in an England formation, outside of their club formation. How many times was Foden waving his arms around, saying gimee the ball? De Bruyne would have found him. But Bellingham cannot. How many crosses found Kanes head? Assuming that he hadnt dropped deep again. I doubt that he has such poor service at Munich.
As for dropping TAA, and then bringing him on as a sub with little time left, shows how little confidence Southgate has in his squad.
That was a poor,poor, game. Massive improvements needed in just the basics for the next game.

What a yawn! Are these really the same players I watch on tv every week in the Prem?
I actually think Southgate has been a decent England manager but bringing Gordon on a minute from the end! Maybe he's now lost the plot.

We finished top by winning 1 of our 3 games and scoring 2 goals in the most boring group in the competition. How many £million is this England team worth.
No point in having 70% possession when the majority of it is non threatening areas of the pitch, Slovenia were happy to play for the draw and their defence would have been delighted that almost all of the play was in front of them, are our forwards instructed to not run at opposing defenders and take them on. It was 30 minutes before we had a shot at goal and at that time Slovenia looked more like scoring from opportunities presented to them by our loose passing.

England, the only country in the world where it's football team finish top of the group in a major football competition and the fans moan about it If only it was that simple. The French guys I work with and not too enamoured by their team either. We just have to hope they come to life against a more open team in the knock out stages. If we get the Dutch it will be a different type of game. I'm not sure that Southgate will make the positive changes needed. I'd definitely drop Bellingham or Foden, based on what we've seen Bellingham. There is pretty clearly far more intent and energy coming off the bench. Even then, if we take the lead will be strong enough to grab another or hold onto it against better opposition? The fans backing sounded amazing and not surprised there were some gripes at the end considering the thousands of pounds people have shelled out and the talent at our disposal, regardless of being unbeaten so far. I'm sure we are witnessing Southgate's swansong. |

Would it be possible to change the title to "England at the Euros 2024"? It would make more sense given how this thread has developed.

Foden gone home due to a family issue...
Gordon finally to be unleashed perhaps?
Palmer has to start on the other side, absolute fearless.

Foden gone home due to a family issue...
Quick dash home due to a childbirth issue. Expected to be back for Sunday. If his mind was elsewhere in the last two games, provided all goes well, then there should be no excuses for the next game. |

I had completely forgotten that we had Timi Elsnik on loan until he was mentioned last night. Scored his only goal for us in our 1-1 draw with Morecambe.
