Ten Haag is 100% right. I don't care if his team has been crap. That is an absolute fact, Southagte pulls this cowardly tactic out all the time, and it demoralizes the players. You cannot win like that. When I saw us line up against Italy, Italy knew whop they were, they'd do anything, they had belief. We've got anxiety and uncertainty because Southgate exudes it. Listen to his press conferences, its pathetic.
I think he has every right to be able to criticise Southgate the way he did as well he is a manager, BBC guys sort of have an agenda against him coz he called them out
Of all current managers to criticise Southgate there couldn’t be anyone in less of a position than Ten Hag. His lack of awareness is genuinely absolutely astounding time and time again
@@CM-ss7yy he's working as a pundit and was asked his opinion, what do you want him to say? 'my team has had a bad season so I cant comment on anything'??

They don’t like him Alan hasn’t said anything about Eddie Howe having a bad season after a good season gary never liked him from the start and Micah can’t even make his mind up who he supports he’s a Leeds lad but supports Man City he also supports arsenal so he can’t make his own mind up lol I like the 3 of them but English media have had an angenda against Erik from the start and what he said is facts every single England fan says the same thing he said every single time we go a goal ahead we stop playing and defend
Agreed and fail to use a lightning counterattack option. I appear to be alone in my opinion about Southgate with my family and friends, but I think the FA is old school, too much like an institution and Southgate is their man. I want to see balls out attack and utter confidence. The England players will be doubting themselves after that as has been the case for decades.

I still think there's an elephant in the room with regards to Foden and that's that this England side doesn't play risky passes, no risk, no reward. Foden likes to receive the ball in tight areas and make quick movements. I can only assume it's Southgate's instructions but even when Foden makes runs and creates space (which he did against Serbia) we often turn back and go for the safe 100% pass.
Yes, but I think this might change when Shaw comes back in. Trippier played one pass forward in the whole game yesterday, giving him nothing when he's actually inside and in a position to create. Jude needs to find him more often too
@@dionb7584Kane was awful. So that's nonsense. It's not excuses, it's facts. Rice/TAA/Bellingham take too many touches and safe side ways passes. Mulitple times Foden was in the pocket and Rice/TAA/Bellingham just too slow. It's actually why England stopped dominating the ball. Serbia just pushed up and stopped giving the likes of Rice/TAA/Bellingham, those 4/5 touches to find a pass. If you actually watch Foden, and Saka is also class at it on the right, he doesn't pass and stand watching his pass. They pass and then immediately they're off running into space. Foden/Saka don't need 3 or 4 touches to find a pass and they dont just stand there watching the pass. Kane was just as guilty at times. He was taking 4/5 touches and making it so easy for the Serbia defenders to close the space.
@@dionb7584how about because they get to consistently play in the positions that they are good at whereas foden has to play on the lw and not his best position at the 10 where southgate has to play Jude at even though he’s better as an 8
Ten Hag basically said what you all just said 5 minutes before. The way Gary brings up what ETH said is like a kid at school who thinks he's got some hot gossip. Nothing controversial was said by ETH that most people said after the Serbia game.
Micah. Ten hag was a pundit infact he was very objective and 100% right, he’s been invited on TV do you want him to shower Southgate praises when England just sat back after that goal
@@Carphill007Have you seen the quality of players England has currently? The weakest link by a country mile is the manager. Take a look at the top Premiere League teams and see how many are coached by local talent. Eddie Howe, Sean Dyche. And neither team are in the top 5. Let’s face it, we now have talent on the pitch but severely lacking off the pitch.
@@Carphill007 who has he beaten? 2018 he deserves credit. He should have been sacked for the 2021 final. Worst performance since Ole in the Europa League final. Both rabbits in head lights and afraid to make decisions. Zero in game management.

England has no god given right to be in semis or finals. Why all of sudden should we beating everyone 3-0,5-1....we dont have any history in the modern game of winning tournaments. Little Englander mentality.
@@2011hwalker Didn't say we did. All Cesc and Ten Haag said was that Southgate is too passive at times. Our chance of winning something is a lot higher if we actually believe and go out to win instead of trying to not lose.
@@2011hwalker England had easier runs to finals recently than they had getting to quarters in the past. Judging Southgate by how deep the team gets.. you might as well say Avram Grant is one of Chelsea's greatest coaches.

@@MatthewMullin-ie9jq all for that and can see your point. Just being a pundit on Dutch tv, and they known for being more cut throat on the responses. He gave his honest opinion. I mean, he did have a point on it lol
@@MatthewMullin-ie9jq fans love saying the exact same thing and have done for like 5 years now its only a problem cause ten hag said it even though everyone on the show has said the same thing at some point
We had a good first half because Serbia sat back and soaked-up the pressure -- this was their plan. They knew England would press high and be full of energy and vigour. But Stankovic is a better coach than Southgate. Serbia had plan B in the second half. Serbia, in essence, became England and England became Serbia. England was passive and inert in the second half. Stankovic, on the other hand, made excellent substitutions and tactical changes which emboldened and invigorated Serbia. A good team with an excellent manager can win a tournament; however, an excellent team with an average manager cannot.
Love watching this..sitting in Australia.. Times of the games are insane here..Denmark he is 2am I think.. So not much chance to watch evenbif it was on normal TV.. All pay to view.. Thanks guys, enjoyed! Keep up the good work.. More orios!
We need width and with all due respect to foden he’s not going to give us that, saka showed what width does on the right, so why not Gordon on the left.
Sacrificing Bellingham’s best position to accommodate Foden like he didn’t have a poor game against Iceland at 10. If anyone should be playing behind Jude in the 8 position, it’s Rice with Wharton behind.
@@omardevonlittle3817 I’m 100% in agreement btw. No one should be moved to accommodate him. He’s got to put in a performance on the left or he’ll be dropped
Foden has played as 10 for England and was terrible ! Actually he has never been outstanding for England... maybe you have to accept he just doesn't fit any other style of team than Man City. Pushing our most effective player who just scored backwards is insanity.
@@teepot191when is Bellingham going to play there? Why move him there when he just got 25 goals? They have loads of cms?? He hasn’t played a cm for years.
Other teams will bring whoever is available as a back up left back if they only have one. Regardless of the drop off in quality. Some of the players in the Euros are not from top divisions anyway so I doubt it would make a difference if we had an average left-back as a back up
Ten Hag is correct, apples and oranges from Micah comparing that game to the FA cup final, ManU went up and they sit back because there's a big quality difference in favor of City, but in the Euros game the quality difference is in Englands favor, it does not make sense to sit back so early in the game.
England have near as dammit always sit back once they've scored first, is historical. This Platinum Generation of English players is particularly hard to watch, and as a Spaniard I can see many similar traits to the batch of players Spain had prior to us dominating the international game for the magical period. Spain's major problem was team harmony, gelling Real Madrid and Barcelona players who actually despised each other. Southgate, to his great credit, has made talented players who play high octane matches against each other week in week out in the EPL, some fiercer than others, and fashioned a camp that exudes friendship and team spirit without any internal tribalism from his players. Is a first step and has been hurdled very well. Unfortunately, you don't win tournaments by being a beautifully harmonious camp, tactics and putting the right players in their correct positions. Spain were never lucky and never did you see that team, witness especially in the WC final of 2010, panic ay any time. Indeed, at Euro 2012 they went beast mode and blitzed the tournament and arguably played the best football we have seen this century (so far) without a recognised striker. This tournament will be won by not conceding goals, even though we're seeing lots of them being scored, but neither England or Spain have the defensive players at their disposal right now to truly convince us of their credentials. And I can't see that Southgate will ever unshackle his talent fully. He won't let Rice lone hold the midfield (Rice is no Rodri, and is nowhere near Busquets), allowing his amazingly gifted forward players to express themselves to their fullest. Too pragmatic, and (I can't believe am typing this bit) without Maguire at the back (who's never been either a Puyol, a Pique and is nowhere near a Ramos but has been England's rock in defence when called upon) they will get exposed. England are not a team that wins by scoring more goals than the opposition, never showed that capacity in all my years shaking my head at their performances. In short...DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH, YOU WILL TURN BLUE (and feel it) AND EVENTUALLY GIVE UP!!!
I remember years ago Gareth Southgate saying that he did a big report into the history of all of the winners of euros and world cups and he basically decided from his research that being defensive, particularly when protecting leads, more often than not leads to going further in the tournament. Shite to watch though
It amazes me how overly critical we can be after a WIN!! Belgium had a shock defeat, Italy scraped a win and France also had a 1-0 win. We looked pretty average, I know, but we always had Serbia at arms length
It's just the de ja vu games all the time.. take a 1 nil lead have chances to go 2 then it ends up us playing like san Marino and setting up a 9 man defense
I found it funny how the pundits after the France game yesterday were talking about how well they’d played, how good Mbappe was (he did nothing all game), etc. they won via an own goal! They not only want England to win but they want them to win every game 5-0. Serbia were well up for our match, they played the game of their lives and let’s not forget, they do have a few very good players
It's not overly critical, just sheer frustration because Southgate isn't learning from his own mistakes... he is holding England back, especially by trying to force Foden into the left... it's not working...
Welcome back Alan! England going forward: Gordon/Eze for Foden... Foden to sub Bellingham later in the matches. Belg vs Slovakia: Shock of the tournament so far. Georgia vs Turkey: Best match of the tournament so far. Impression of Euro 2024: Unlikely teams/Underdogs will go far just like Greece did in 2004.
@@adamboow8299Romania at times played great but had very little possession against a terrible performance by Ukraine who didn't get star man dobvryk the ball at all
The truth is... Foden like all other great players before him is being forced into the team...Kane should have been subbed.. Jude tries to do everything eventually tiring himself out too early in the game, we had no attack down the left flank whatsoever.. and Rice can only pass the ball sideways or backwards, and I'm an Arsenal fan... if we set up like that against stronger teams, we'll quickly get turned over....
Phil Foden is not as good for England as Jude. Jude deserves that role as he will perform. What Foden does for City, being surrounded by absolutely elite players, is irrelevant to what he does for England. shoehoring Foden into the squad 'because he was player of the year' is exactly why Lampard, Scholes and Gerrard didn't work. Put a LW on the left wing, keep Jude as our 10, Saka as our RW and Foden can be a sub. Why are people so scared of that.
Facts, if Jude is out best number 10 why sacrifice him to fit Foden in? Anyone with an ounce of footballing IQ could see the game was crying out for Gordon to stretch the pitch. Felt like Foden was drifting in and congesting the play
Because you have to buy into Foden being out best player because he plays for city. You don’t get invites to the etihad, free holidays or trips on the Saudi yacht if you critics city.
If anybody was shoehorned into the team it was TAA. Bellingham from dm to 10 Foden from 10 to winger. Bellingham effective in any midfield position Foden(the PL player of the year) is better at 10. All this to play a right-back in defensive midfield just because he can pass 40 yard passes. It takes more than long passing to play midfield😂😂 as seen on Sunday. Jordan Pickford can pass 40 yards as well. Foden is left footed play him left back. It's ridiculous!!!! Why didn't Klopp play TAA in midfield? he's a right back!!!
@@danielharries5468 Foden is the PL player of the season. Bellingham is just as effective next to Rice. Southgate changed the whole midfield so he can play a right back in midfield. This bad coaching, bad tactics. It's up to the coach to get the best out of these players by playing them in their best positions.
@@chriswood753 name me a game that Foden has played very well for England on the 10. This isn't me trying to be an online prick. It's a genuine question. I don't think Foden is as good for England as he is for city.
Bring in the german. Jurgen Klopp would win the tournament with this team we’re be lucky to get to the quarters with Southgate. He’s not an elite manager FACT
missing the point of historic traits coming to fore, B list manager easily out manoeuvred by other managers as ETH said what do you think the opposition manager is doing its too easy.
I don't think Palmer can play on the left either. Bring Gordon or Eze in and rotate Foden and Bellingham at 10 next two group games. Palmer for Saka if we beat Denmark next and qualify
Take the positives from the first half.. yes, we need to play like that over the complete match, or at the very least, keep the ball better in the second half! COME ON YOU ENGLAND BOYS KEEP GOING!!
Foden will be a different player in the next game, everybody knows how good he is, why do we forget things so quickly and panic? The thing that needs changing is the tactics, its always been blame the players, its not the players, its the tactics
He played in the prem for 15 years and played about 40 times for his country. Managed in the premier league and has been englands most successful manager of the last 60 years by a mile. But if he doesnt do what etsyconsultant thinks he should do, he isnt fit for the job. Its ok to have an opinion, but you look very silly pretending you know more about football than gareth scapegoat
@@Adam-cr8qehe's never done it on the international stage unfortunately class player but steps up goes missing every match. Hopefully he will start to shine
To be fair guys, people would watch the England game no matter who the pundits/presenters are... with that being said, Having Cesc on was a breath of fresh air. For Micah, Iniesta played LW for Spain (same position as Foden has been playing) and look how he managed to influence things.
Meeks need to stop glazing Foden honestly. He’s become one of the best pundits we have because he says it how it is, now he’s just a man city yes man despite not being on the payroll.
Tbf Foden has been amazing this season, much better and consistent than his past seasons. Obviously he hasn't been replicating that form for England which I think is a reason to drop him, I think he could be an impact sub for Bellingham, and play a proper LW
@@thecro2060 completely. For city he’s been incredible since he was a teenager. But great players adapt to systems. Jude’s been playing as a false 9 or even a striker at times for real, he was an 8 at times against Serbia, drifted into the left flank, dropped deeper still to get the ball. Does this system suit Foden, maybe not, but he needs to be the one to adapt to the team, not vice versa.
It's not 'one bad game' for Phil Foden was it though Gary? He was the worst player on the pitch in the Iceland game too. And he's never performed well for England
10 Hag probably knows behind the scenes that Gareth was fancied for his job, so when asked about that England game he gave his honest opinion with a bit of spite left in there, and fair enough
Micah saying lack of respect from EtH yet those two BBC puppets Lineker and Shearer showed him the most disrespect I've seen in an interview in years. They've been absolutely rattled by EtH and can see that most people think they're idiots for this. EtH is light years ahead of Southgate as a coach.
But lost us a final and a semi by negative football. I was watching France last night and in their white and blue if you squint you can kind of imagine they are England. 😮 Most exciting ten mins of my football fan experience
France get a 1 nil (own goal) win over Austria, hardly anything said. England gets a 1 nil win over Serbia with a decent goal. Crisis. 😂 Take the win and move on.
have to say hearing all the logistical nightmare in travelling and reporting on international tournaments is also very interesting to hear! keep up the fantastic work fellas
We always tend to drop way too deep as soon as we go ahead - then we end up running around chasing the ball, at the same time we are tiring the players. We need to change this negative mindset once we score.
Southgate has done this EVERY single time against any half decent opposition. Croatia 2018, Italy 2021 immediately spring to mind. Cowardly, risk averse and gets punishment the vast majority of times. That he hasn't changed this (let alone improved his ability to make decent substitutions - be it personally or with a new addition to his team), is damning. Ten Hag is correct, and he's just doing his job as a pundit. Should we completely disregard your insight, tactically speaking, because none of you are successful managers? The fact that the discussion centred on him predominantly rather than the value of what he said doesn't paint you in a good light.
Eriksen struggles to play 2 games a week at club level and Hojlund not in form and lacking 90 mins at club level. England need to keep it secure first half and then go for it 2nd half when Danish legs and confidence low. Tournament football. Keep the energy for the last 2 weeks
ten hag was 100% correct, its not lack of respect its doing the job he's paid for as a pundit for dutch tv, he can also be critical of the media the two things can exist at the same time.
Good morning Gents! I have not seen most of the Euros only the Germany game and I am someone who has a belief that you are only as good as how much the opposition allow you to be. Football is a game where you rely on getting into a rhythm and if the opposition take that away from the off you will struggle to get into one.
Uncensored Alan is the best Alan! To be honest I think you are being to nice regarding the TAA desicion. He had a very sub-par game and there are way better options on the bench. Southgate shoehorning players into unnatural positions (Foden deserves a mention here too) could be costly in the long run.
Gary after Bellingham went off we had no 1 who took control was a worrie & the subs was eye opener southgate needed to change fomation with another winger I dont think there bee any changes next game Denmark but were english come on the lads
Every time England play they should have a huddle a minute before kick off where Jude says “ok forget everything Gareth has said and let’s go for it, no letdowns!”
If you watch the other matches they all seem to play at a higher tempo and its entertaining, but with England it's all very slow, ball being kicked forward, backwards, backwards, backwards, across the back, and back again, no fluency, no movement and everything seems to go down the right side. Why can't we play at a quicker pace, more shots, more crosses, but instead it back and back,and like Southgate dull and boring.
Regards to Ten Hag...Micah speaking before engaging his brain and goes on to batter him for speaking the absolute truth and then calls his comments disrespectful. Couldn't write it could ya. Great pod though!;) COYI⚒️⚒️⚒️
This was Southgates fault in the second half because he made the wrong subs he should have brought on Gordon for Foden. And Kane should have come off in the second half playing so deep crap . And he won't take them off because he's to bloody loyal.
The banter between these 3 is excellent. I wish they could do more shows when they are all in the same room together - the laughs and p*ss taking of each other is what makes this show so good. keep up the good work lads
Need Gordon or Eze on the left someone that can run behind real nightmare to defend against players like that. PLEASE use the Subs early Gareth fresh energy.
I see a lot of Finalists of the elite football competitions in the comments. Many managers with the experience to take their players to finals and semi finals. Well done all of you ex England players who are now management who know so much, have so much experience and are unbelievably talented.
Bellingham can play deeper Foden can’t. Foden would scare the defence in the number 10. My concern is more around how poorly England played in general once the opposition took the initiative.
ETH is absolutely right. This is England with one of the best squads in the world, Micah doing mental gymnastics to try and compare Utd playing against the best team in club football vs England (one of the best squads in the world) playing against Serbia ffs.
A lack of respect from ten Hag? Hang on, when you did that you were just doing your job. Now he’s a pundit and is asked his opinion, he gives it and is apparently disrespectful. Ffs

meh, we blew a lead in the penalty shoot outs vs Italy...if players had made that then no one would be criticizing Southgate tbh. Fine margins.

@@jordanlazenby8464lol 😂 I despise man United and support Newcastle 2nd team but that comment is hilarious better team but as for bigger 😂 your like a tenth the size of united in world football
I still think there's an elephant in the room with regards to Foden and that's that this England side doesn't play risky passes, no risk, no reward. Foden likes to receive the ball in tight areas and make quick movements. I can only assume it's Southgate's instructions but even when Foden makes runs and creates space (which he did against Serbia) we often turn back and go for the safe 100% pass.
Yes, but I think this might change when Shaw comes back in. Trippier played one pass forward in the whole game yesterday, giving him nothing when he's actually inside and in a position to create. Jude needs to find him more often too
Stop giving Foden excuses. Saka, Kane and Bellingham consistently perform. Trent created 7 of England's 8 chances. Foden has to earn his place
@@dionb7584Kane was awful. So that's nonsense.
It's not excuses, it's facts. Rice/TAA/Bellingham take too many touches and safe side ways passes.
Mulitple times Foden was in the pocket and Rice/TAA/Bellingham just too slow.
It's actually why England stopped dominating the ball.
Serbia just pushed up and stopped giving the likes of Rice/TAA/Bellingham, those 4/5 touches to find a pass.
If you actually watch Foden, and Saka is also class at it on the right, he doesn't pass and stand watching his pass. They pass and then immediately they're off running into space. Foden/Saka don't need 3 or 4 touches to find a pass and they dont just stand there watching the pass.
Kane was just as guilty at times. He was taking 4/5 touches and making it so easy for the Serbia defenders to close the space.
@@dionb7584how about because they get to consistently play in the positions that they are good at whereas foden has to play on the lw and not his best position at the 10 where southgate has to play Jude at even though he’s better as an 8
Agreed, no matter how bad Foden was Southgate sets the tone. Non of those players play such negative football for their clubs
Genuinely have such a laugh watching/listening to these chaps, great job 👏
Ten Hag basically said what you all just said 5 minutes before. The way Gary brings up what ETH said is like a kid at school who thinks he's got some hot gossip. Nothing controversial was said by ETH that most people said after the Serbia game.
He was spot on
Micah. Ten hag was a pundit infact he was very objective and 100% right, he’s been invited on TV do you want him to shower Southgate praises when England just sat back after that goal
My biggest fears about Southgate are coming true! Far too cautious!
But he dresses smart and tows the FA line. That's got to count for something?
@@jan2000nl Proper glass half empty you pair. We've done better under Southgate than any other manager since 1966.

@@2011hwalker Didn't say we did. All Cesc and Ten Haag said was that Southgate is too passive at times. Our chance of winning something is a lot higher if we actually believe and go out to win instead of trying to not lose.

Ten Hag was spot on
Can I just say guys - after a hard day at work I love the banter between you three - really cheers me up.
these guys love ripping on Ten Hag. It's his view on the game. This is why managers don't get involved with pundit work.

Ten Hag wasn't even talking down on Southgate, he just said how it is. It's like saying the sky is blue, it jut is what he said it is
We had a good first half because Serbia sat back and soaked-up the pressure -- this was their plan. They knew England would press high and be full of energy and vigour. But Stankovic is a better coach than Southgate. Serbia had plan B in the second half. Serbia, in essence, became England and England became Serbia.
England was passive and inert in the second half. Stankovic, on the other hand, made excellent substitutions and tactical changes which emboldened and invigorated Serbia. A good team with an excellent manager can win a tournament; however, an excellent team with an average manager cannot.
Love watching this..sitting in Australia.. Times of the games are insane here..Denmark he is 2am I think.. So not much chance to watch evenbif it was on normal TV.. All pay to view..
Thanks guys, enjoyed! Keep up the good work.. More orios!

Great show guys! You've really hit that nice balance and feel of chatting with mates.... very enjoyable :)
Give Gordon his chance then allow Foden to be first sub
No
It’s time for Flash Gordon Foden can warm the bench
Well the first sub should probably be in the position that’s needed !
We need width and with all due respect to foden he’s not going to give us that, saka showed what width does on the right, so why not Gordon on the left.
Agree. Bellingham looked exhausted in second half. It’s ok to take him off if you have Foden to bring on!
Sacrificing Bellingham’s best position to accommodate Foden like he didn’t have a poor game against Iceland at 10. If anyone should be playing behind Jude in the 8 position, it’s Rice with Wharton behind.
Iceland?!?!?! We've seen this 34 separate times!
@@omardevonlittle3817 I’m 100% in agreement btw. No one should be moved to accommodate him. He’s got to put in a performance on the left or he’ll be dropped
SAY IT LOUDER TO THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ He’s literally the only player who could finish in TWO games. This is why England will lose.
Absolutely, can't understand the logic of sacrificing other players to build the team around someone who isn't delivering
Don't mind these pundits. They all chat rubbish. Must be part of Fodens PR🙄
Foden has played as 10 for England and was terrible ! Actually he has never been outstanding for England... maybe you have to accept he just doesn't fit any other style of team than Man City. Pushing our most effective player who just scored backwards is insanity.
@@teepot191when is Bellingham going to play there? Why move him there when he just got 25 goals? They have loads of cms?? He hasn’t played a cm for years.
Other teams will bring whoever is available as a back up left back if they only have one. Regardless of the drop off in quality. Some of the players in the Euros are not from top divisions anyway so I doubt it would make a difference if we had an average left-back as a back up
Appreciate how gently Micah put his glass down at 2:10, very professional.
Miguel*
That's how you put a glass down when you're trying hard to pretend that you're not pissed
love watching you 3, so much banter and it cheers up my day!
Lack of respect for calling it how it is. Unsufferable these lot.
Ten Hag is correct, apples and oranges from Micah comparing that game to the FA cup final, ManU went up and they sit back because there's a big quality difference in favor of City, but in the Euros game the quality difference is in Englands favor, it does not make sense to sit back so early in the game.
Calm down Micah, ETH is prefectly entitled to have a view on the game whether it's critical or not.
England have near as dammit always sit back once they've scored first, is historical. This Platinum Generation of English players is particularly hard to watch, and as a Spaniard I can see many similar traits to the batch of players Spain had prior to us dominating the international game for the magical period. Spain's major problem was team harmony, gelling Real Madrid and Barcelona players who actually despised each other. Southgate, to his great credit, has made talented players who play high octane matches against each other week in week out in the EPL, some fiercer than others, and fashioned a camp that exudes friendship and team spirit without any internal tribalism from his players. Is a first step and has been hurdled very well. Unfortunately, you don't win tournaments by being a beautifully harmonious camp, tactics and putting the right players in their correct positions. Spain were never lucky and never did you see that team, witness especially in the WC final of 2010, panic ay any time. Indeed, at Euro 2012 they went beast mode and blitzed the tournament and arguably played the best football we have seen this century (so far) without a recognised striker. This tournament will be won by not conceding goals, even though we're seeing lots of them being scored, but neither England or Spain have the defensive players at their disposal right now to truly convince us of their credentials. And I can't see that Southgate will ever unshackle his talent fully. He won't let Rice lone hold the midfield (Rice is no Rodri, and is nowhere near Busquets), allowing his amazingly gifted forward players to express themselves to their fullest. Too pragmatic, and (I can't believe am typing this bit) without Maguire at the back (who's never been either a Puyol, a Pique and is nowhere near a Ramos but has been England's rock in defence when called upon) they will get exposed. England are not a team that wins by scoring more goals than the opposition, never showed that capacity in all my years shaking my head at their performances.
In short...DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH, YOU WILL TURN BLUE (and feel it) AND EVENTUALLY GIVE UP!!!
The whole conversation around “bad games happen”…”it happens”.. I get it but Phil Foden has never really stepped up for England. EVER.
I remember years ago Gareth Southgate saying that he did a big report into the history of all of the winners of euros and world cups and he basically decided from his research that being defensive, particularly when protecting leads, more often than not leads to going further in the tournament. Shite to watch though
It amazes me how overly critical we can be after a WIN!! Belgium had a shock defeat, Italy scraped a win and France also had a 1-0 win. We looked pretty average, I know, but we always had Serbia at arms length
It's just the de ja vu games all the time.. take a 1 nil lead have chances to go 2 then it ends up us playing like san Marino and setting up a 9 man defense
I found it funny how the pundits after the France game yesterday were talking about how well they’d played, how good Mbappe was (he did nothing all game), etc. they won via an own goal!
They not only want England to win but they want them to win every game 5-0. Serbia were well up for our match, they played the game of their lives and let’s not forget, they do have a few very good players
Same cracks appearing again already, Southgate too scared to make a change when needed and when he does it’s questionable
It's not overly critical, just sheer frustration because Southgate isn't learning from his own mistakes... he is holding England back, especially by trying to force Foden into the left... it's not working...
I agree, the goal for France was an own goal aswell. Think we'll be able to make a better judgment after the match on Thursday.
Gary’s revelation about Doritos being Walkers has blown my mind 🤣
Welcome back Alan!
England going forward: Gordon/Eze for Foden... Foden to sub Bellingham later in the matches.
Belg vs Slovakia: Shock of the tournament so far.
Georgia vs Turkey: Best match of the tournament so far.
Impression of Euro 2024: Unlikely teams/Underdogs will go far just like Greece did in 2004.
Romania looked solid.. though Ukraine were poor
Romania and i think Austria who was dominating the French before losing from an own goal.
@@adamboow8299Romania at times played great but had very little possession against a terrible performance by Ukraine who didn't get star man dobvryk the ball at all
Thanks for the consistent content for the euros👌 shout out Harry must be double double busy with all the editing ✊
The truth is... Foden like all other great players before him is being forced into the team...Kane should have been subbed.. Jude tries to do everything eventually tiring himself out too early in the game, we had no attack down the left flank whatsoever.. and Rice can only pass the ball sideways or backwards, and I'm an Arsenal fan... if we set up like that against stronger teams, we'll quickly get turned over....
Ten Haag slagging his replacement off 😂😂😂
Phil Foden is not as good for England as Jude. Jude deserves that role as he will perform. What Foden does for City, being surrounded by absolutely elite players, is irrelevant to what he does for England.
shoehoring Foden into the squad 'because he was player of the year' is exactly why Lampard, Scholes and Gerrard didn't work. Put a LW on the left wing, keep Jude as our 10, Saka as our RW and Foden can be a sub. Why are people so scared of that.
Facts, if Jude is out best number 10 why sacrifice him to fit Foden in?
Anyone with an ounce of footballing IQ could see the game was crying out for Gordon to stretch the pitch.
Felt like Foden was drifting in and congesting the play
Because you have to buy into Foden being out best player because he plays for city. You don’t get invites to the etihad, free holidays or trips on the Saudi yacht if you critics city.
If anybody was shoehorned into the team it was TAA. Bellingham from dm to 10 Foden from 10 to winger. Bellingham effective in any midfield position Foden(the PL player of the year) is better at 10. All this to play a right-back in defensive midfield just because he can pass 40 yard passes. It takes more than long passing to play midfield😂😂 as seen on Sunday. Jordan Pickford can pass 40 yards as well. Foden is left footed play him left back. It's ridiculous!!!! Why didn't Klopp play TAA in midfield? he's a right back!!!
@@danielharries5468 Foden is the PL player of the season. Bellingham is just as effective next to Rice. Southgate changed the whole midfield so he can play a right back in midfield. This bad coaching, bad tactics. It's up to the coach to get the best out of these players by playing them in their best positions.
@@chriswood753 name me a game that Foden has played very well for England on the 10. This isn't me trying to be an online prick. It's a genuine question. I don't think Foden is as good for England as he is for city.
Bring in the german. Jurgen Klopp would win the tournament with this team we’re be lucky to get to the quarters with Southgate. He’s not an elite manager FACT
missing the point of historic traits coming to fore, B list manager easily out manoeuvred by other managers as ETH said what do you think the opposition manager is doing its too easy.
Currently ill in bed living vicariously through these guys ..love the vibe
Drop Foden, he never performs for England, play Palmer instead.
I don't think Palmer can play on the left either. Bring Gordon or Eze in and rotate Foden and Bellingham at 10 next two group games. Palmer for Saka if we beat Denmark next and qualify
@@edcleverley9333 Gordon had the best season on the left, and was consistent as well. Baffled why he's not starting.
Take the positives from the first half..
yes, we need to play like that over the complete match, or at the very least, keep the ball better in the second half!
COME ON YOU ENGLAND BOYS KEEP GOING!!
Drop Foden for a start.
Get Gordon & Palmer involved. No brainer, if Southgate can't see that he shouldn't be doing the job.
Foden will be a different player in the next game, everybody knows how good he is, why do we forget things so quickly and panic? The thing that needs changing is the tactics, its always been blame the players, its not the players, its the tactics
He played in the prem for 15 years and played about 40 times for his country. Managed in the premier league and has been englands most successful manager of the last 60 years by a mile. But if he doesnt do what etsyconsultant thinks he should do, he isnt fit for the job. Its ok to have an opinion, but you look very silly pretending you know more about football than gareth scapegoat
@@Adam-cr8qehe's never done it on the international stage unfortunately class player but steps up goes missing every match. Hopefully he will start to shine
@@hyywe240110% agree ppl need to look at the history of mangers then compare it to Southgate tenure

To be fair guys, people would watch the England game no matter who the pundits/presenters are... with that being said, Having Cesc on was a breath of fresh air. For Micah, Iniesta played LW for Spain (same position as Foden has been playing) and look how he managed to influence things.
Meeks need to stop glazing Foden honestly. He’s become one of the best pundits we have because he says it how it is, now he’s just a man city yes man despite not being on the payroll.
He is on there payroll tho
Tbf Foden has been amazing this season, much better and consistent than his past seasons. Obviously he hasn't been replicating that form for England which I think is a reason to drop him, I think he could be an impact sub for Bellingham, and play a proper LW
@@thecro2060 completely. For city he’s been incredible since he was a teenager. But great players adapt to systems. Jude’s been playing as a false 9 or even a striker at times for real, he was an 8 at times against Serbia, drifted into the left flank, dropped deeper still to get the ball. Does this system suit Foden, maybe not, but he needs to be the one to adapt to the team, not vice versa.
Great show guys always enjoy it🎉🎉
It's not 'one bad game' for Phil Foden was it though Gary? He was the worst player on the pitch in the Iceland game too. And he's never performed well for England
Top interview as always lads
10 Hag probably knows behind the scenes that Gareth was fancied for his job, so when asked about that England game he gave his honest opinion with a bit of spite left in there, and fair enough
He wasn’t inoes never ever spoke to Southgate it was media rumours as they have never liked Erik from day 1
He 's right.
Micah saying lack of respect from EtH yet those two BBC puppets Lineker and Shearer showed him the most disrespect I've seen in an interview in years.
They've been absolutely rattled by EtH and can see that most people think they're idiots for this. EtH is light years ahead of Southgate as a coach.
The elephant in the room is SOUTHGATE. He doesn't know anything different. AND NEVER HAS.
he got us to a major final! and a semi!
Useless manager.
But lost us a final and a semi by negative football.
I was watching France last night and in their white and blue if you squint you can kind of imagine they are England. 😮 Most exciting ten mins of my football fan experience
Southgate is not tactical, he is simply looking at effective players in key positions. If England were half as talented , he would be out already.
i Want to know how much wine these three will drink this Euro's
Some wine maker really does need to sponsor them
Ten Hag has delivered trophies. Southgate hasn't. So his opjnion is more than valid. Southgate is very limited as a tactically.
France get a 1 nil (own goal) win over Austria, hardly anything said.
England gets a 1 nil win over Serbia with a decent goal. Crisis.
😂
Take the win and move on.
Love this podcast guys ❤ joy and laughter 😂
Ten Hag not wrong
have to say hearing all the logistical nightmare in travelling and reporting on international tournaments is also very interesting to hear! keep up the fantastic work fellas
Alan Shearer’s turning into a first-class broadcaster.
Hahaha come on now. I love the guys but this is not true.
Alan Shearer Is Th Best Pundit On Th BBC
Sounds like these guys are living a great life! Working with their friends, travelling the world, staying in top hotels
"What should Southgate do to beat Denmark" RESIGN.
Ten haags comments weren’t strong at all Gary! They were bloody true!
"Glass houses". Spot on, Micah. 😂😂
Foden would do better as an impact sub. Should start Gordon, he can do the defensive work and the high press extremely well.
Why does Foden get so many excuses, If Saka put in a performance like that he would be getting an insane amount of abuse
We always tend to drop way too deep as soon as we go ahead - then we end up running around chasing the ball, at the same time we are tiring the players. We need to change this negative mindset once we score.
Southgate has done this EVERY single time against any half decent opposition. Croatia 2018, Italy 2021 immediately spring to mind. Cowardly, risk averse and gets punishment the vast majority of times. That he hasn't changed this (let alone improved his ability to make decent substitutions - be it personally or with a new addition to his team), is damning.
Ten Hag is correct, and he's just doing his job as a pundit. Should we completely disregard your insight, tactically speaking, because none of you are successful managers? The fact that the discussion centred on him predominantly rather than the value of what he said doesn't paint you in a good light.
Bellingham cannot be replaced at 10. Foden should stick on the left or be benched for Gordon
Foden showed he isn’t willing to play the left, he spent all his time in the middle. For that reason he should be out.
Eriksen struggles to play 2 games a week at club level and Hojlund not in form and lacking 90 mins at club level. England need to keep it secure first half and then go for it 2nd half when Danish legs and confidence low. Tournament football. Keep the energy for the last 2 weeks
ten hag was 100% correct, its not lack of respect its doing the job he's paid for as a pundit for dutch tv, he can also be critical of the media the two things can exist at the same time.
Nice one, good luck for the next game.
Southgate is very lucky he has had some very good teams. Anyone could manage Rice for example. Can Southgate actually win anything?
Good morning Gents!
I have not seen most of the Euros only the Germany game and I am someone who has a belief that you are only as good as how much the opposition allow you to be. Football is a game where you rely on getting into a rhythm and if the opposition take that away from the off you will struggle to get into one.
Uncensored Alan is the best Alan!
To be honest I think you are being to nice regarding the TAA desicion. He had a very sub-par game and there are way better options on the bench. Southgate shoehorning players into unnatural positions (Foden deserves a mention here too) could be costly in the long run.
Gary after Bellingham went off we had no 1 who took control was a worrie & the subs was eye opener southgate needed to change fomation with another winger I dont think there bee any changes next game Denmark but were english come on the lads
Every time England play they should have a huddle a minute before kick off where Jude says “ok forget everything Gareth has said and let’s go for it, no letdowns!”
Loving the regular uploads
If you watch the other matches they all seem to play at a higher tempo and its entertaining, but with England it's all very slow, ball being kicked forward, backwards, backwards, backwards, across the back, and back again, no fluency, no movement and everything seems to go down the right side. Why can't we play at a quicker pace, more shots, more crosses, but instead it back and back,and like Southgate dull and boring.
Loving these shows, could do with a bit more positivity towards England though!
It’s not one game with Foden. It’s near enough every game for England.
Ten Haag absolutely bang on, with his comments. I'm pleased he called it out for what it was.
Micah is right well done lad
Regards to Ten Hag...Micah speaking before engaging his brain and goes on to batter him for speaking the absolute truth and then calls his comments disrespectful.
Couldn't write it could ya.
Great pod though!;)
COYI⚒️⚒️⚒️
Micah is a brilliant journalist, after a couple of red wines. ;)
This was Southgates fault in the second half because he made the wrong subs he should have brought on Gordon for Foden.
And Kane should have come off in the second half playing so deep crap .
And he won't take them off because he's to bloody loyal.
The banter between these 3 is excellent. I wish they could do more shows when they are all in the same room together - the laughs and p*ss taking of each other is what makes this show so good. keep up the good work lads
Need Gordon or Eze on the left someone that can run behind real nightmare to defend against players like that. PLEASE use the Subs early Gareth fresh energy.
Great show!
Southgate suffers from David Moyes syndrome. One up, then sit-back, sit-back, sit-back... With England's front-line, it's insane.
I see a lot of Finalists of the elite football competitions in the comments. Many managers with the experience to take their players to finals and semi finals. Well done all of you ex England players who are now management who know so much, have so much experience and are unbelievably talented.
Bellingham can play deeper Foden can’t. Foden would scare the defence in the number 10. My concern is more around how poorly England played in general once the opposition took the initiative.
But Bellingham is better at no.10 than further back and he better than foden
ETH is absolutely right. This is England with one of the best squads in the world, Micah doing mental gymnastics to try and compare Utd playing against the best team in club football vs England (one of the best squads in the world) playing against Serbia ffs.
