  1. I don't know if this is a controversial take or not but I've never been overly impressed with Dembele. Clearly very talented but just want more from him.
  2. Yeah but that's great if you want France to struggle.😃
  3. Just shows, for all we whinge about England's performance, other than Germany, none of the big nations have had things their own way.
  4. Austria eh? Let's throw another shrimp on the barby...
  5. Get the feeling France aren't worried about conceding because they fancy themselves to score a few.
  6. Will listen out for it. I enjoy hating commentary. Lee Dixon just having a go at someone's height.
  7. Neville and Co don't half talk shite. "When attacking players talk in the dressing room you listen". I mean what in the fuck is he talking about.
  8. Some positives: 1. Bellingham could win the tournament on his own 2. We won and kept a clean sheet 3. Teams have won major tournaments with a backs against the wall style. Italy were famous for it, Greece etc. 4. There's half a chance we might find a better formula as we progress.
  9. The issue is that once again once a little bit of pressure comes, England retreat into their shell. From a tactical perspective, Southgate has them in such a negative mindset. When they meet resistance, there is no character. When Serbia came onto England, surely that was the time to go and beat them? They opened themselves up. Instead we found ourselves hoofing the ball long or relying on Bellingham to find a way out. Pickfords goal kicks went long every time. I'm sorry, can we not beat Serbias press? Two of our defenders play for City, Trippier is good on the ball and I'm sure Guehi is competent enough, never mind the rest of the side. I can't for the life of me understand how Foden stayed on the pitch. He gave the ball away numerous times. He's staying on because of his reputation. He's making the same mistake every other England manager has, sticking by his favourites and not having the guts to drop players in favour of having a balanced side. The game was begging for Gordon. His pace and counter attacking ability would have changed the game. There was a time when nobody on the left was willing to take players on and only Saka and Bellingham had done it all game. Too much side ways passes, which comes down to a lack of character. Some players yesterday showed they had the balls: Saka, Bellingham, Rice, Guehi. Some didnt: Foden, Trent. Against Denmark I'd be "resting" Foden and Trent. Bring in Gordon and Wharton and tell them to go and play FFS.
  10. Not a great save. Its a save that he has to make.
  11. Is Southgate waiting for us to concede or something? Be proactive FFS.
  12. Kane doesn't press whatsoever. Southgates block is so infuriating. Get some pace on.
