    Hey guys, you know I'm the last person to dwell on the negative but as someone who has publicly been such a staunch supporter of the Southgate era, I felt the need to get this off my chest. Also when I was remembering past tournament appearances, I apparently forgot the damp squib that was World Cup in 2014 and the abject failure to qualify for Euro 2008. But this is the most fear I've ever seen us play with. We aren't talking about top tier teams here, we are showing relative minnows far too much respect in my humble opinion! Hope the Foden family are all ok, there's a lot of things in life that are more important than football. Love to you all.

    Joe Gomez has been playing left back for most of the season at Liverpool and has been brilliant. He's in the squad on the back of those performances. Why not play him over Trippier, who has been very very poor? I'm not opposed to Kane dropping deep if he has inside forwards (or wingers that cut inside) along side him. Gordon and Palmer would work wonders with that. As would Saka, and Eze tbf.

    • @luisramirez2548
      @luisramirez2548 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      It doesn't make sense to have Gomez at LB either. For Liverpool, he was playing at LB but played mostly as a wide CB. He rarely moved up the pitch with the ball. So if you replace Trippier with Gomez, it would be the same. No overlapping runs. Just safe passes back to the midfield or defense.

Ok we weren’t expecting much fair enough but then we score first at home against an aging poor Italian team may I remind you didn’t qualify for either World Cup either side of that. We had one shot on target in 120 minutes in a HOME tournament. Just to add insult to injury, after that tournament the stats against the top 10 in the fifa rankings which are the opponents around us we had won 4/24 of which half of them came not in any sort of tournament. I think 2 was in the nations league. So not a major tournament. Then if that wasn’t enough to shake you I got proven right at the World Cup. First team who was capable of beating us we lost. And you’ll say ooh but we Germany in the euros. Yes an aging Germany side that didn’t make it out of the World Cup groups either side. Plus we were at home in Wembley. I expected a win. So if you want to look at the surface sure, but he’s played rubbish football but hasn’t won anything. He couldn’t do it as a player he was the one who missed on pens then we lost on pens due to his dreadful substitutions.

    Anyone with an ounce of footballing knowledge can see how poor a manager Southgate is - this was apparent before and during the purple patch England had. His stagnant and stale approach is so hard to watch. If you asked any top-10 EPL team supporter if they'd have Southgate manage their club, the answer would be a stern "no", if he isn't good enough for a solid club outfit, he isn't good enough for an international side. As a Welshman, I hope his tenure with England lasts for generations, because then the echo chamber of British TV - laden with English comms - will be slightly more bearable.

      I get what you're saying, however there's also the argument you can only defend against what's in front of you and fortunately, to the teams good fortune, we've not been letting in silly.goals which ultimately cost us our place in the tournament which I guess is the optimistic way to look at it.
      That being said, they are yet to have been tested by the best attacking players at this tournament so it is very hard to judge how well they've done defensively. That being said, Walker and Stones are consistently competing against the best in the league and champions League, and Guehi has looked very solid over the course of the last few months of the premier league season so there isn't many reasons to suggest the defence would struggle against the better attacking players

Doesn’t mean I’m happy with how things have gone or that I think he’s done everything right, but I am keeping the faith and I refuse to blame him for everything that’s happened (or not happened) particularly in the Denmark game where we made so many individual errors. When players can’t string 3 passes together or clear the ball then you don’t really get the chance to see what the manager’s plan was. Also why aren’t more people talking about how poor Rice has been? Maybe I hold him to account more because he’s usually so reliable but for me he’s been tetchy AF.

This England team is a joke on paper they are probably the best team next to France yet the coaching is so bad that they can hardly create good chances nonetheless score. The main difference between these two sides is yes they both defend well but England is massively underperforming with the insane world class players they have whereas Greece massively overperformed with many players that don’t even play in big leagues and the ones that were in big leagues did not even start regularly.

    Southgate said Trippier was carrying an issue before the Slovenia game. I think he’s actually one of the biggest issues going foward. If you watch him he didn’t actually make any sprints in the last game and if Slovenia broke down the right foden, Bellingham and rice really quickly got back to cover him. I think the issue is actually quite bad but it’s also the main reason Trippier is continually going inside and not overlapping is his fitness. Got to give Saka a go at LWB next game for me

    Spot on, Spencer.
    To all the experts that were telling West Ham fans to be happy with Moyes - they are now feeling the same (albeit with a far more talented squad) sense of indignity with Southgate’s England.
    When you’re more talented than your opposition, defence is secondary. Unfortunately, it is Southgate’s primary focus & it’s scraped us through a weak group but if Iceland can find a way through, any team in the knockout will too.

    I'm typing this before watching the video, purely because I wanted to say what I've been seeing:
    -Our front 4 of Kane, Bellingham. Foden and Saka have scored 100+ goals between them in the 23/24 season. On the bench, we've got another 50 goals in Watkins and Palmer. They're barely having a shot while playing for England.
    -Pickford, Stones, Guehi and Rice have all screamed at the players in front of them in all three games for not giving options. A big reason our build-up play is slow.
    -Because our build up is slow, we give the ball away when we run out of ideas.
    -Trippier has been constantly encouraged by teammates to overlap, yet barely crosses the halfway line.
    -I saw a stat that Foden has passed to Pickford more times (3), than he has Kane (1). In ALL 3 games.
    -Kane seems perpetually unavailable to receive the ball. He drops into midfield needlessly and manages to mark himself out of the game.
    -On multiple occasions, we've been in a position to put a cross in, but our players have a gentle jog towards the penalty area, zero urgency at all, meaning we're forced to play backwards when the opposition get back into shape.
    It just looks completely half-effort. Great, we've got through, but we were the best of a bad bunch. Our group has a combined total of 7 goals scored, and 5 draws from the 6 games.

      Never understood this take - teams with 'lesser' players are playing significantly better than england - not because their players are all world beaters, but - because they are playing as a team, their tactics are better. England are playing THIS bad because Southgate doesn't know how to use them.

    England are guilty of playing to the standard of the Oppo.
    We’re never exciting but it’s tournament football and defensive structure is the most important thing for a team to have.
    Playing any of the big boys will be so tough for us this time around, the lack of fluidity moving forward is killing Southgate’s biggest asset, which has been his defensive stability.
    One thing you can’t stand even if you’re happy clapper is not utilising the personnel available.
    Saka playing LW makes sense probably because you can then get trippier to roll inside and cut in and hit one. Also saka is a demon 1 on 1 either side of the pitch

    no england doesnt have the 3rd best squad in the euro (most of its players wont even play in the expanded champions league) and they are extremely lucky with their side of the draw. And Southgate has been putting up with a lot of negativity by a lot of england fans BEFORE the euro. he's not great but the fans have already decided that england wont win the euro because of him... And negativity has only increase by the day and that doesnt help the team.

    In Germany, we are absolutely shocked by the poor performance of the England team. The German TV pundits and world champions Christoph Kramer and Per Mertesacker sometimes can't even put into words how badly England played tactically. But it has to be said that hardly anyone here can understand the artificial hype surrounding Bellingham (which was probably only created by his PR agency). Don't get me wrong, he's a really good player, he was in the Bundesliga too. But he was never outstandingly good there. Even at Real Madrid he was invisible in the important games. It was the defence, Kroos, Vini and sometimes Modric and even Joselu who made the difference. The German commentators and pundits even make fun of Bellingham, saying that it's annoying that he's always looking for the camera every other throw-in and always has to put on a show. If you then look at his stats, especially in the last game, they are unbelievably bad. England have good players but no team and I'm curious to see how far they can go but here in Germany you see every team in the playoffs stronger than England... even Georgia.

  • @encorefootball
    @encorefootball 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Southgate must be related to a banker because England have another doable path to the final. I'd wish UEFA & FIFA would change the qualification rules for the knockout rounds: allow only teams who win their group to qualify according to group position. Then put every other team in an aggregate league table, where the top 10 is decided by points scored. Games won will be used as a main tie breaker, which would've put Ukraine and Hungary through instead of Denmark & Slovenia gaming the system. In the context of tournament football, goal difference ends up rewarding more defensive, boring teams.

    @jacksonboyd02 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Something I’d love to see England to try is attack in a 3-2-4-1. Think about it especially if southgates doesn’t want to change his way. Trippier can push his way up to a left wing position, it allows Foden to invert as a 10, Bellingham can stay as a 10, Saka holds width on the right. Walker comes at a right center back stones a central centerback and guehi who can play lb plays as a left centerback, Kane upfront who I think should stay up there but if he did drop we now have more runners to make a run in behind and rice and Trent can sit behind. We’d overload the midfield and have a lot of triangles and passing lanes. Defensively we can get back into a 4-2-3-1.

    As a not England fan, the problem is Southgate. He is honestly not a good manager, he isn't Prem quality, he is barely Championship quality. His tactics are useless and he cannot get some of the most in-from players in the world currently to play. That tells you all you need to know.
