Gordon must be gagging for his two mins

One of the best things Southgate ever did was instil belief in players and help them to feel trusted and be less scared on the pitch. He’s undone all that by playing players out of their positions and creating a system where we can’t transition quickly. This will have killed a lot of player confidence

Take off our best player, that’ll sort it. In fairness, Palmer is a great option but there are other players who should be subbed first

Kane needs benched from now on. If we’re going to play static football then you can’t have a striker who’s also basically immobile

Much better possession here

Feel for Saka in this side, always trying to be positive while everything is sleepy around him

He used to do that amazingly well for Spurs. The difference is, they were stretching teams to pieces so he’d often get a ball in behind. It doesn’t work with this set up as it’s far too slow

Need to completely restructure the team with fully fit players in their best positions even if it means dropping players who are amazing. Possibly too late mid tournament to make it work now

Not sure why people are having a go at individual players. Rice is quality. No idea why he’s so ineffective here, I imagine it’s because of how incredibly static we are

Actually think Ange would be the perfect manager for this side

Worse

Fantastic ball from Trippier

Need to sub trippier sadly

There’s no way we should be playing a RB at LB, even accounting for injuries

Bellingham’s passing has been dirt. Looks like he’s not switched on at all

He was until 2 years ago, was a quality player

We play in the fastest league in the world. Why does it have to be like this

This is very edgy for a side that’s qualified. The players are either shot confidence wise or massively feeling the pressure

Aye, he’s an outrageously good footballer. It’s tough seeing players set up to fail

He’s a good guy who makes very poor decisions and it’s because his footballing philosophy is negative and tight

It’s a complete joke, rewards failure

I really like him, I just wish he played naturally on the right, would totally sort out one of our major problems

“Anyone else think that this is a sign that Mbappe’s on his way down? I get the sense he couldn’t handle the pressure at a club like Real so wanted to big a big fish in a smaller pond. I don’t know, I might be wrong but that’s how I see it”

The only scenario that doesn’t result in a toxic atmosphere and responses is a very convincing win where we control the game

If we don’t dominate this match tonight it’s going to get very toxic, especially if it’s a draw or a loss. Cannot be fucked with watching another rubbish match
