Palmer..

We have far more calm and controlled possession high up now (thanks to Mainoo), he will bring on Bowen for sure imo.

Sometimes the obvious swap out of one player for another is a far better idea than chopping and changing more and more especially mid tournament when you havnt been playing well, we will see. We will see big improvement with just Gallagher in for Trent imo.

Lets push Bellingham back into 6 after the season he’s had at Madrid playing higher up.. genius move

The negativity Gallagher gets on here

France could finish this group 3rd

Holy fuck Sabitzer

Austria are no joke

Taking the ban into consideration? Yes, but for the pedigree of the player at the time I disagree.

Imagine he played for another club coming back from having a good single season in the Eredivisie, carrying some hype to the point that another set of fans suggest taking a points deduction rather than selling? It’s mad, it’s arguments based on assumption. Eddie will take a look, if he’s that’s good he won’t be sold.

If there’s a good offer and he wants to leave then he will be allowed to go.

Expiry of this clause potentially opens the door for a lower transfer fee offer than the clause but with a massive increase in wages than he’s on here, the media will rinse this til the end of the window. Anything can still happen.

That pen was a hell of a call for the ref to make in real time and he got it right, fair play

This game got mental after the injury

So why’s he doing it

I miss Forlan

This is on the manager make no mistake, I’ve been a defender of his at times because some of the criticism over the years has been over the top but this tonight is proof that he hasn’t adapted and hasn’t had the growth that a manager with an ever increasing wealth of attacking talent at his disposal should have done. He went with TAA in midfield again, fair enough. When on the front foot it’s shown it can work, but tournament football is too unpredictable to gamble on being able to control and maintain enough of the ball to say it will consistently pay off. As soon as the tide turns the choice of TAA is exposed, there is not enough industrious energy between him and Rice to get the grips with the change of momentum and regain some control.. it means everyone has to work harder and some of those players were flat on their backs after 2 group games. He has to start Gallagher next game, that is the only necessary change at the moment. The team selection incited poor individual performances from players that are used to controlling a game with a high press for their clubs, the tactics are to far away from their bread and butter. It’s so frustrating.

Gallagher can push forward now Kane is off

The right change to make

Another 5/10 mins of this without improvement and we will lose this game

There is a big lack of balance between our play with and without the ball, Gallagher for TAA would go a long way here

Just doesn’t feel like we are confident enough or tactically disciplined enough defensively to go passive and control the game like Southgate wants after we score, the momentum with them now

What a goal

This pitch is basically a field

Was worried Walker didn’t put that across quick enough then, but get in
