Just imagine what Guardiola, Klopp, Mourinho, Ancelotti etc are saying about Southgates tactics in the privacy of their own home with no cameras around. Lol.
They would say he’s done well actually
They're saying that Southgate is getting the best he can out of that overrated group.
Obviously you’ve imagined, but you realize that doesn’t make it true
Yes because the world revolves around England.... No one gives a toss, you've been aloadofwank for decades won one home tournament with a dodgy linesman yet you're favourites for every World Cup, Euros, Wimbledon. A black England 11 could win a tournament instead you've got 'legends' like Pickford, Maguire, Rice. Play defensive negative football score a goal you celebrate like your 1970 Brazil. Cocaine confident fans, sky subscription money and Rice passing it sideways 4 yards he should be Captain!
Southgate?.. you haven't mentioned him...lol
Why is it always replace Saka. Saka was involved in every goal England scored so far. Foden played 3 positions for city, 10, lw and rw and had 27 G/A this season Saka had 25G/A. For England Foden has 6 g/a in 36 saka has 27 in 25 starts. Espnfc ignoring the facts and focusning on hype.
Perhaps swap Saka and Foden. Saka could try to take on defenders on the outside and Foden could cut inside from the right to let Walker overlap. Seems a lot less predictable than everyone passing it back and sideways
Saka doesn't need replacing. It's simple get Trent out of midfield have Bellingham help rice box to box mid Foden 10 actual winger Gordon on the left. Simple as can be the coach is just absolute trash. England will go to at least quarterfinal meet a decent team get bopped off the park .
Southgate should’ve gone after last tournament. Something is going on behind the scenes. He’s lost the dressing room. Players look pissed off and negative. SG is making them look like mugs.
He should’ve used the friendlies to experiment not the tournament. Poor planning g and preparation. The guy is a fool.
Yep players aren't playing for him, seems really obvious not sure why pundits aren't say it. Tactics have nothing to do with players not even trying.
Don't know why people are so surprised. The last four matches against Denmark (regular time) have ended with three draws and a loss to England. But as always we believe that we are superior. Reality check needed. And the excuses were bollocks , the pitch was terrible (it was) , the heat was terrible (yeap) , but Denmark is not an exotic country and there players played on the same pitch and really they are pro players so it is not better for them than England. And even though England has got the star players , the danish team has players from Barcelona, Roma , Anderlecht, Man U, Benfica, Tottenham, Brentford, Leicester, Milan etc etc and my point is that a team of pro good players playing as a team and with a game plan will almost always beat a star team with no game plan.
All the big teams are winning.. Denmark should have done the same instead of giving the small opposition the chance to draw
Your original.
Did France win?
Did Italy win?
Did Netherlands win?
Is Belgium winning?
Other than Germany and Spain, who has a better record than England
I’ve Seen this comment at least 7 times, funny funny stuff
@@francostacy7675any of those teams you just mentioned would have +7 goal difference and 6 points in this group because they are much much better than england end of, how were we the favourites
@@moreish7193I’ve seen it at least 5 times today alone.
"We don't need Grealish, we don't need the control and creativity he brings." lol
Anthony Gordon does what Grealish does and is more productive he just doesn't get played and not taking Mitchell for left back is insane.
Stop being a sheeple because he is a media darling there are several players already in the squad who can do what he does.
@@Delboy0maybe they could but Southgate doesn’t trust them to try the way he does Grealish. So it’s either bring grealish who he would throw on or someone else who he won’t
@@karmaascendant3936 that is a Southgate problem, not a Grealish not being there issue. Despite the talent England have not for once was I convince England had any chance from beginning with such a bad coach. He has basically been relying on the individual quality of players to win him games, not his actual coaching.
@@Ruscococo1 gordon is a trash footballer mate
Southgate should be sacked for not playing Bellingham.. Absolute disgrace
😀
That was his plan. You can’t understand his strategy. He is the Best.
Isn’t this exactly how they started the last euros . An unconvincing 1-0 win over Croatia and then a drab 0-0 vs Scotland . And last World Cup where they played a very underwhelming draw vs USA .
I think we need to keep in mind the level at which the other big boys are playing. Spain Italy and Germany are looking really good. And we all know how good the French team is.
exactly drag themselves through the games against the average teams, then lose when we play a good team. i think people are upset nothing has changed
Bellingham was experimenting his invisibility powers as always
Bravo! Don is SPOT ON with regard to in-game active leadership.
England underperforming in the weakest group at this tournament is crazy
They are deliberately playing bad to show other teams that they are not so good. They will play their A game only in final.
It’s coming home 🏆
@@Annie_R18Keep taking that cocaine, maybe Jude can come do ya missus.
@@Annie_R18 delusional much??????
Group A, E and F are as weak if not weaker.
it's tradition, I still remember their EASY group at the World Cup where the USA topped them lol
How is Palmer not getting a mention? I am going insane lol
Because he is cold. That’s why…
Who is coming off to get him in the lineup?
@@iancameron3799He should be the backup non 10...hasnt even made an appearance is insane 😡😡
Palmer isn't the solution just cause he's your favorite player to glaze 😂.
Not many penalties given this competition 😅
Rodri has been the best player in the premier league and City’s most important player but it’s okay give the praise to Foden. If all these players like Foden, Trent, Saka, Rice, Kane, Bellingham and the rest that you keep saying are world class players, they don’t need Ancelotti or Pep to comfortably beat Denmark, and Serbia. The truth is that most of these English players are bang average and they received praise that they don’t deserve at club football.
You are stupid or trolling
KDB is City’s best player and Rodri is right there as well. But Foden is an amazing player as well. But he isn’t playing in his club role and isn’t playing with teammates who know the game like he does.
He came up under Pep and that knowledge can’t be replicated anywhere else in football.
Bellingham average? Behave. They need someone who can dictate the game. Imagine what Scholes would to with this squad.
@@captainsmoke1612 They don’t have anyone close to Scholes in this team. The manager isn’t good tactically and Bellingham and Foden are out there frustrated. Bellingham made a great run and got a goal. That’s about all he has done in two games and that’s not his fault. He is running backwards a lot for England 😂
Well then you believe players are more important than the manager and system...Great IQ
If England had anyone competent they wouldn't be out played by Serbia and Denmark.
Slothgate sounds clueless and that's affecting the players.I wouldn't want a manager with no proper sense of direction
the fact that he left grealish at home says it all. southgate is a clown. he should have been sacked years ago
Imagine thinking Grealish is the solution
Grealish did not have a good season that’s fair it’s the man management that’s not justified
England always disappoints
The one dude says he should sit down stars that aren’t playing well, but then he goes on to criticizing for setting Bellingham down
England, we will never learn, let's stop expecting them to win and just enjoy them scoring one goal then crapping themselves.😂😂😂😂
Nothing can be done. It's never coming home.
The real problem here is that all English experts, commentators, socalled "journalists" and fans automatically expect that the England team is ALWAYS going to be way better than every on paper (!) "smaller' team and be able to beat them with ease, even if it's a really well organised, tactically skilled and hard working team like Denmark with nearly all of its players also playing for big clubs around Europa, who are at least just as good technically and physically as your England players.
Several of England's starting players wouldn't even be able to make it into the Danish starting line-up, and not even among the substitutes in some cases, but you simply refuse to realise this for some mysterious reason.
No, you are NOT a better team than Denmark in general, as modern football history clearly shows, but you desperately want to think so and therefore always assume it in advance without really studying the facts and your "smaller" opponents.
England does indeed have a handful of really great individual players, but they are not really working very well together typically, not very well organised at all, don't understand each others far too often, not really hard working all the time and not really willing to run the extra mile - and they don't really have great tactical skills either - that is not just Southgate's fault! - , when they are being neutralised or shielded off and then completely lack alternative plans and ideas.
What you are completely missing here, is that Denmark were actually playing with the handbrake pulled ( to ensure a good result ), and that they just knew in advance from deep analysis before the match which England players to neutralise and shield off where and when.
And Denmark just KNEW that they stood a really great chance of getting a good result against this quite harmless and often bewildered England team, if they just followed the tactics, played very disciplined, worked hard and stressed the rather mediocre English defensive players, as they were most awkwardly and very slowly attempting to play forward - just like Serbia did very successfully towards the end of England's first round match, and which the pretty good, tactically skilled and hard working Slovenia team will now also have noticed before their last match against England. 😊
In Denmark the fans were of course very pleased with this positive result for our team, but no-one here was really surprised by it ( especially after seeing a very poor England team playing against the rather messy and often very lazy Serbia team ).
And most people here thought that Denmark had been dominating for most of the match and had actually deserved to win against this very predictable and poorly organised English team - without even playing at full steam.
I agree with Don that this squad doesn't seem to be very verbal outside of Bellingham. And they do seem to be lacking leaders/organizers.
It's so important in international football to be able to adapt to each other on the field to make it a team, and we're not seeing that.
Everyone keeps saying how good England were in the first 30 mins against Serbia. The reality is Sebia sat back and allowed England space. After the goal Serbia came out to attack and then England struggled.
All the talk before the tournament was about how to break down defensive teams.
Other teams have looked at England's recent, pre-tournament games, and are taking advantage. Slow, negative
Great analysis mate . This played well against Serbia is a myth. As soon as Serbia started pressing and England hid. Southgate is clueless man said no Kalvin Phillips replacement. He should have been court martialed for that statement
England wasting their stars by keeping southgate around
The "stars" are wasting themselves
@@Ruscococo1Are they all being utilized in their best positions? It's completely unbalanced.
What stars?
@@mrnumba154 good players can adapt
@@Ruscococo1 No team is going to adapt to that level of imbalance, especially at international level.
Harry CANED 😂
Harry BOTTLED
a 4-4-2 diamond could work. we've got the players to do that
Never thought I’d see the day where England have a crop of world class players who are being coached by a Sunday league team calibre coach and yet we’re surprised when they play like a group of average individuals?!
Come on, I knew Southgate wouldn’t work out when we lost against Iceland in a major tournament!
You were doing so well until the Iceland bit. Woy Hodgeson was the manager for that debacle.
There are only 2 problems with the England team. One the wrong formation. These players are used to playing much offensive formation due to their potential to score goals. They should be playing 4-3-3 instead of lone striker upfront. Second the team is very low in their energy that seems the players are very tired. They need to be highly motivated to improve their desire to win.
It doesn't really matter who Southgate picks. It's about the shape of the team, the mentality, the attitude. Southgate won't set it up correctly anyway.
Jude Bellingham is the English Paul Pogba...
Pogba at 20 was levels better.
@@signoresantinoburnett1169 No he wasn't, we are rewriting history here now🤣
@@Rajnikanth555 BS. Nothing to do with his race or my nationality. Pogba wasn't winning league POTY, winning UCLs at 20 as one of the key players. Heck he was playing U-20 world cup at 20 for France and Jude is a crucial player for the first team! Also, improve your mindset.
Juventus Pogba was spectacular... Bellingham is not really that amazing..he's good ,but not what they trying to push(a Zidane type)
@palashrawat401Pogba was part of a league-winning Juventus side at 20... He was 21 in the UCL final loss to MSN Barcelona.
Pogba and Bellingham are pretty much the same player, and excel when other midfielders do the dirty work... Pogba messed up by moving to the Premier League with United, whereas Bellingham moved to Madrid.
Lastly, all the qualities/weaknesses Bellingham has, Pogba had...yet the English media only praise Bellingham's qualities.
How dare people slagged off Southgate. The man is doing his very best to emulate Steve McClaren. Give that man a chance!
Craig working towards that Assistant Manager role with these team talks
Same eleven starting against Slovenia no doubt.
And Slovenia ain't no Mugs
100%, without creativity blooming from the pitch, Southgate should be putting Cole Palmer on to make things happen when the team is looking stale. It's what he's brilliant at. He lead the PL in goals+assists last season. Had the highest score in PL Fantasy Football. Absolutely should be playing after those two matches!
Man Said 4-4-2 lol
With Watkins idk man 😂 maybe a crazy idea is whats needed
More teams play 4-4-2 now to punish ball-playing slender CBs.
and mentioned people like you who wont reason before condemning It
Itself funny the internet version of 'The Sun' newspaper ESPN talking about the media in the 3rd person about England when they slated and derided the manager etc.
Southgate's teams are like an unfinished Rubix Cube. I get the shout for bringing Gordon in on the left and having the midfield of Rice Bellingham and Foden. But I dont hear anyone thinking about Plan B or C which would be a Man City type formation and 3 at the back. Its like a 3-6-1 (3-2-4-1) - with these players its a no brainer.
Pickford
Walker, Stones, Guehi
Mainoo, Rice,
Saka, Bellingham, Foden, Gordon,
Kane
England are and always have been a second tier nation. Behind France Italy Spain Germany Argentina Brazil etc. Not sure why all the hate. English have been overrated and overhyped for 60 years. Their players are good but not great. Foden isnt the same without Rodri, Bellingham isnt the same without kroos/modric, kane isnt the same without musiala. Spain Germany France will absolutely school England if they make it through
The English are a deluded people.
Top comment right here
Facts
If England play to their potential they can beat all those teams. Your comment just seems spiteful. Remember England going 3-0 up at half time against Spain? Or easily beating Germany 2-0? They actually played aggressive football in those games and made it look easy.
@@intenzityd3181 England doesn't even have even one single special player, just a bunch of good players. No Neymar, Mbappé, Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Baggio, Zidane, Cryuff, Maradona, Van Basten, Kaka, Iniesta, Xavi etc. etc. etc.
The missing link is the Talisman himself, the shadow maker, the phantom...IVAN TONEY. Kane, Toney, Bellingham, Saka.
With all due respect to ESPN. Don Hutchinson speaks so well about the game, should be on Sky Sports or TNT.
His analysis are about as in-depth as Bob Smith’s at local dog & duck.
Today Craig was SPOT ON😊
The media is extremely negative. Even the commentators during the match are negative. I caught a replay of the game and watched it on mute and realized it wasn’t that bad of a performance. Denmark are formidable opposition and England have no divine right to beat them. I think England played well and had the better chances. The media is ULTRA NEGATIVE
I wanna know who at INEOS looked at Southgate and said, "Yeah, thats our guy for the future."
Let's be totally honest here.
Southgate has literally access to the best group of players of all the European countries.
He can even leave great players out if the English national team that other countries dream having.
Yet, Southgate can't come up with a balanced, well performing, ball possessing team and on top of that he cries about missing Phillips.
Which fool is playing Arnold on the midfield, Foden out of his best position(s), afraid to put the best team on the field instead if the biggest names.
It's so easy. All mid level and top coaches in Europe must be shaking their heads, wishing they had the choices in top players that Southgate has. Next to that he sends the team out with a nonsensical assignment. They take the lead and instead of controlling the game and shiw the world how great this team is, they drop back and concede goals.
No wonder ALL the Man United fans were almost dying when Southgate s name came up to replace Ten Hag.
England can only wish Ten Hag was their national coach.
I'm flabbergasted and in shock.
Can't we fire Southgate before the next match?
The world is laughing their assess of about England.
Stop taking cocaine England aren't that good, Pickford, Maguire, Rice belong at Burnley not England. 11 black England players could win a tournament look at France ....
@@indysingh4552 like Burnley is the worst team. 🙄
@@32446 Man United?
@@indysingh4552 france will lose to england 100%
Eveyone keep saying Bellingham is an attacker. People forget he was a centre midfielder at Dortmund long before he went to Madrid. Play him as centre midfield with Rice as defensive midfield. Play Palmer in attacking midfield and start with Watkins and Bowen who are both very fast. Keep Kane to play final 20 minutes as he can do better after the other team is tired. I know Foden is a good player but considering the amount of missed goal chances, I would give someone else a chance
Southgate never has known what he is doing 🤣. Harry Kane the classic overrated player, stat stuffer that never steps up when it matters. Would never start him if you want to win
Yeah of course he is, 36 goals in Germany, he is rubbish.
@@alvaskinsspurs fan he never turned up when it mattered, for us and england. Calm down son.
Lamin Yamal at 16 years old is far better player than combined England squad.
No body would get off their seats when any player of that squad has the ball but when Lamin gets the ball everyone is excited.
That is Messi CR7 Mbappe Maradona Pele effect they excites you
Southgate actually criticised his players for attacking too much and not “conserving energy” against Serbia!!
"The media has been negative but fair!" --- says the media. 😅
"The media saying the media has been negative but fair is negative but fair" --- says a bored England fan.
The only reason some of these England players are even worth mentioning is cuz of the foreign players that surrounds them.
Every great player has great players around them…. as if Mbappé doesn’t have stars all around him.
The media have been generous. ITV's take was a reminiscent of Radio Moscow "Chernobyl is all good, although the reactor has it's off days"
We must also change to 433 , as 4231 isnt working, atm. Pickford. Walker. Stones. Guehi. Tippz.
Wharton. Rice. Foden ( Bellingham is knackerd and needs a rest ) Gordon Kane. Saka.
Yesssssssss, finally someone mentioned WHARTON.
Make him starter next game !!!!
Mainoo starts for Man Utd.. started in the fa cup finally against the best team in the world and he’s scared to play him against Denmark and Serbia? The guys a clown
Lol yeah let's play a kid whose team finished 8th that allowed the most shots on goal of anyone but Sheffield Utd. Mainoo plays in midfield for 6 months for the worst performing Man Utd team in half a century and you're sucking him off like he's Vinicius Jr.
@@indysingh4552Was his performances poor or his team poor?
International football is not the highest level of football....Erickson and holiberg are dictating play against england and they are subs for their respective EPL teams...Im sorry but come on mate 🤔
@@mysteriouscipher5445 How did Man Utd fare in the Champions League? They were awful he was awful teach that Flava Flav looking chav kid how to run, tackle, spot danger in the U21s why's he's even at the Euros I have no idea. Maybe Gareth wants Ten Hags job. So international football isn't the highest level of football you say. Then what is? Let me guess the FA Cup Final again lol
Agree with everything they said
I heard a lot of Southgate taking responsibility by implying it's the player's fault. Let's see how long the famous Happy England camp lasts with that happening.
You know how this ends we depart the minute we meet someone decent
And Southgate’s leaves
Could play: 3-5-2
Walker- Stones-Guéhi
Saka-Rice-Warton-Foden-Gorden
Kane-Bellingham
Subs:
Trent could replace Saka
Shaw could replace Gordon
Toney or Watkins could replace Kane or Bellingham
Mate Southgate will never ever try that man's a coward
Surely you play Rice, Belling and Foden as the 3 with Jude sitting next to Rice. Then you bring in a left winger for the same width Saka gives you on the right
Plain and simple no rocket science
Why is every one having a pop at kane where's the service and noones talking about the golden boy dude where was he not mentioned
If you remove all the foreigners from the premier league, this is the English football we would see every week.
😂
And who are the foreigners? The black guys ? You're right the team isn't anything without them
@@blomobloom9639 I’m talking about premier league foreigners no the national team. All the black guys in The national team born in England they aren’t foreigners it’s different than France . The family probably has been in England at least 2 or 3 generations.
Southgate is playing England like they had a lot to lose. It would be very refreshing if they played like they had nothing to lose instead. And I think their odds would actually go up if they played positive football.
I think Ogden should have described the media reaction as harsh but fair instead of saying negative but fair. That phrase he used just doesn't sound quite right (whereas I have people say harsh but fair regarding a person attitude or criticism).
It looks like Southgate knows they are going out early and he is the best manager to console the losers
I just want to know why the England players, were dead on their feet at the final whistle. They are professional footballers so therefore they should be used to playing for 90 minutes surely
Trent on the right, Palmer on the left, Saka LB, Walker RB, Foden RCM, Jude LCM, Watkins striker, (get in behind) Kane, (false 9) wingbacks invert, wings stay wide
Foden is a joke
Are you playing against San Marino with that team?
@@mysteriouscipher5445are you telling me my fifa tactics won’t work?
England is top of the group. Chill everyone
Where's Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford when you need them. Lol
Craig’s got right even for a Scotsman … Cmon England & Scotland
What kill me with laughter yesterday gary lineaker try to teach a whole Harry kane how to position him self as a striker, they should give kane a break he never been pressing striker and age is catching up with him he should find way to adopt his game
why not saka at left back/wing back - he played that for Arsenal?
Funny people, in every tournament, Kane is always a latecomer. Sterling always starts the show for England before Kane picks up
There's no runners. Trent playing midfield instead of RB. Sterling you used to run like a lunatic 😂.
Haha.. like a lunatic 😂😂😂
To keep possession you have to pass & move!! That’s definitely not there with England
Alexande-Arnold out Palmer in his place, as he's good enough to play midfield or up front. Foden in place of Saka on the right . Gordan on the left. So Alexander-Arnold and Saka out ?
Saka has played well why replace him? Just put Bellingham rice and foden together easy midfield pick.
Hahaha media is negative, says who 😂
It's the media fault for the reaction, they built up England to be much better than the actually are, they do that before every tournament.
It's not the media's fault it's the peoples fault for listening to them.
Craig burley "wouldn't say boo to a goose"
"eNgLaNd aRe tHe fAvOriTeS bY fAr" 😂👍🤡
Don speaking scintillating facts!
England have so many good players in the same position. There was no reason to have Saka and Palmer in this team. You should have dropped one and make room for Grealish or Sterling. You don't have anyone on the LW.
Again no LB as Trippier is not doing and he's not left footed.
10:29 Has not been and is not good enough to shout he is a mistake waiting to happen. Don is 100% right
Where does this nonsense come from that Foden is a right winger ? I had a look at his entire career and out of 277 matches he started exactly 35 times on the right. 88 times on the left and 154 times in a central role. No matter where he starts he usually drifts in as he is not really a winger and his best results are in a central role where England not only has Kane but also Bellingham. Behind him he also got Tripper who is turning 34 in a few months and it shows he had an awful season for Newcastle and obviously Trippier is NOT a left back.
Gareth Southgate does not have a clue how to form this squad or utilize them correctly.
Harvey Elliott overlooked and so was Curtis Jones... More experience at this level,when they have played many games in the Champions League.
While people will cry at this...again it was a mistake not to have Jordan Henderson in the squad.
He is a leader, he would have helped younger players.
This England team is a mis match and it reminds of Man U.
A team that can beat ,sometimes inferior teams, but as soon as it will play a well organize team with real quality it will get a few bumps on the nose and will get a battering.
Man U did this v Liverpool. Ole Gunner picked his team, Ronaldo up front and he did not get a kick, like Kane for England.
Liverpool turned up at Old Trafford and were 4 up within 30 minutes.
They systematically destroyed a team that they knew was there for the taking.
One of the goalkeeper coaches has come out and said how he laughed at Jurgen's comments before the game.
Jurgen said "Go out and Kill them" in which they did. Fabino nor Mane started that game.
Jurgen had faith in his squad and use the players to fit the system and better United.
This is going to happen to England. I will put 10 English pounds when we play a good organized team. I will bet we get beat 4 maybe 5 nil.
You have heard it here 1st. 😂😂😂
" negative but fair".... the media giving itself thumbs up..where I come from this is also call "own self check own self"
"Gumption". Good word.
The problem with England is not the formation on the pitch. The problem is application on the pitch.
So the application on the pitch hasn't worked since 1966 🤔
Nah. Triple Durex pratgate is the problem
@@connormcleod9595 yeah Southgate is the problem because he tactical to apply on the pitch .Good players with no style and system of play
There no problem with England. There is Southgate with England.
Engl@nd have never been the team to win by large goal margin..Their media should stop deluding themselves 😂 winning by 1-0s and drawing have always been their level 😂
I wish that was even the case lol, losing to any decent team we play is more accurate.
Denmark is a pretty good team who has made it into the knockout stages the last two big tournaments. England have to be better though. This should have been 2 or 3-1
Why are no english pundits/media saying anything about how good Denmark played? They could have won this match 2-0 or 3-0. There is a team on the other side who played their hearts out guys!!
Southgate for Man United manager, 😂😢 Fools on espn.
Since when is England a good team? 😂
That balance was demonstrated by Italy that won the 1982 wcup for having more than half of Juventus players playing in the first eleven.. England don't have that luxury but what don said the balance of foden with walker at city & trippier with Gordon at Newcastle might make a better " alignment" in the England team to drive smoothly to their destination of winning the euro.🫣😬😁🫡
So many assistant coaches getting managerial positions.
That's all Southgate is; third man with a main job!
Dan’s 442 makes sense
Kalvin Phillips 😅
The problem is Denmark is a small team. French team have 0.0 versus a big team is different and No Mbappé.
Denmark are a big team. Scandinavians are tall people.
Even holland n france is disappointing 😞
England overestimates the capabilities of most of their players. Pickford is an average goalkeeper, Walker is overrated, Stones' a limited player, Trippier, limited, Rice would make a great central defender, limited as a midfielder, Kane is a great in-the-box centre forward, but no captain material. Other players are playing out of position (Bellingham, Foden and Alexander-Arnold). Personally, I'd would really love to see Saka play as an attacking left back and Palmer with Gordon up front, Rice between Guéhi and Konza (should have been Tomori or White!). Alexander-Arnold on the right wing. Bellingham and Wharton playing behind Foden.
Southgate is suffering from messiah complex.
He believed the hype he’d be crowned as England’s football saviour. He thumbs his nose at the experience and day-to-day management of Klopp, Pep and Ancelotti believing he knows better… Experimenting? Joke. The FA should have him out of there on that comment alone.
He’s back managing Middlesbrough in the 90’s.
There are no more weak oppositions,especially not before actually playing the game
Suggesting dropping saka who’s been your best attacker so you can try out foden at his 1000th different position “to get the best out of him” is just silly.
let's try Saka at LW and see how he does and let Foden have his best position at RW. Imagine playing Messi on LW!
Kane was tracking back and (attempting to), pick the ball up in defense - that's not how you set up your lone senior, super star centre forward, surely.. What was Southgate trying to do here, neither a press nor a counterattacking game..
Muppet in the grey jacket - Rice should not be plying a No 6, role - he can't play a killer ball under pressure - fact. Foden plays down the left here and then cuts right across the front of the Denmark game to take out a Denmark player on the other side of the pitch, who is setting off from the right back position ..why?
