First half got it right? Were you watching same game? Palmer, Mainoo and Gordon have to start next game.
I would start Foden over Gordon, he played well on the left, did 4 or 5 pin point passes that should have been converted, Gordon should have come on earlier tho tbh.
@@Long-Horse Hes played one pass to Kane this tournament!!!
@@Long-Horse Foden won't play next game I don't think, he's gone home for his newborn
@@Long-Horse
Considering foden hasn't been played in his correct position, at least foden leaving and going back to England for family matters
will force southgate to start Gordon on the left. As long as Gordon has a great game and effect the game in a positive way with
perhaps a assist or something like that, he could hold onto that position solving 1 problem. If that happens and foden does
come back it could force southgate into a situation where he cant drop Gordon, so he might actually have to use foden in his
favourite position, or use both Bellingham and Foden as rotation players. It could also force southgate to use Bellingham
alongside rice, which would free up the 10 position for foden and palmer. If foden doesnt come back, then we still have
Bellingham who could actually start playing well or palmer, who might be given a chance as a 10. Foden leaving could
actually accidentally fix England and force sothgate to make the right decisions. England might actually start to play at
their level.
@err4071 ah right I didn't actually know that.
This was painful cant lie, and suggesting we played well in the first half is one if the worst calls ive heard in some time
Agreed what is he smoking. Actually pretty Worrying that someone can watch that game and come out with that view
Yeah there's some weird takes in this. Mainoo is not a like-for-like sub for Gallagher. We played faster in the second half, not the first.
Admit he is clueless.
Yeah best defensive record in the competition. The ex G against is by far the best... he's a good chance of winning the euros.
They won't.
@@Thomas...191in the easiest group 😮
Best defence in the euros. Defence wins titles
@@Thomas...191in a group where nobody could score against each other and had the worst teams in it in general. Did you not think about this for more than 3 seconds?
Gallagher didn’t touch the ball in the first 10 minutes! Whatto - I’m not sure what you were drinking last night but your first half analysis is off this morning mate. 😮
lol big time
Said the point about Pickford during the Denmark game also - so many times, Foden, Rice etc would show for a ball along the floor from pickford, he would ignore and hit long, Kane would jump lose the ball and Denmark would come at us again. At club level big teams DCM show for the ball even with a player on their back, the keeper gives it and the team retain possession. not sure if its cos he plays for Evertona dn Dyche but he looks to hit it long as hard as he possibly can every time.
Please watch the game Declan rice marked himself for the majority of the game , he doesn’t know how to show for the ball , he actively runs behind their player who pressed so he knows he can’t get the ball , he hid the whole game
@@angusfraser5216 i agree re Rice, he did show at least once though - the difference between him hiding and Mainoo wanting the ball was there for all to see. Foden definitely showed for the ball though a few times. Roll on Slovakia where i will be showing a keen eye towards this issue.
@@petercampbe11 Yh but the only time rice receives the ball is when all 11 players are in front of him , never between the lines
Rice is shite but it's obviously a tactic and maybe it's because u can't trust rice under pressure with his back to goal.. it's like people complaining about Pickford going long from kick off, its not his decision.. hes been told that
In part that was because the distribution out of defence, and through Rice, was fucking abysmal. If I’d have been Pickford I would have been thinking about hoofing it as well.
Palmer maino (And gordon when he eventually got on) were the difference makers in my opinion. He surely has to give them all starts or atleast a 2nd half to really get at a team and cause all sorts of issues. Very direct and young hungry players. Gordon and palmer have over 60 goal contributions between them last season in the prem, that isnt something to ignore
Gordon played 5 minutes…talking out your backside
@@sdrp9539 And he played one of the only forward passes in the whole game. Straight to mainoo when he flicked it to kane and kane fucked it off the other way. Would you rather have an out of position foden dropping to the half way line and playing passy with the CDM's?
@@sdrp9539 without nit picking the Gordon comment, it’s pretty spooky on for me
@@adamwright426 The same chance that Palmer dragged. I'd play Manioo and maybe Gordon, not because of his performance but because we need pace on that side. Palmer should get 30 min off the bench when they tire. Saka is too good defensively to leave out
I agree those 2 should play but they were both fresh against a tired side. Put Walker as a LB and Trent RB with those 2 on
Saka created England's goal that secured the only win we've had so far in the tournament. He would have secured another goal yesterday if Foden had remained on side. It's a lot easier coming on as a sub against a tired defence than starting the game. You drop Saka, you're not going to win the game and you'll be out in a flash.
Sakas great but he's not that good he is not a must start when a player like palmer is ready to take his spot. Sakas been okay nothing more. I would drop foden and play palmer through the middle with dude next to rice but Southgates never gonna do that so it's Sara vs palmer and right now palmer deserves to play more
Was a deflected cross😂 saka has done nothing! He needs dropping end of!
Palmer offers sooo much more than saka for any team
By your own argument saka could be more effective if he came on as a second half substitute.
Total waffle you are clueless
It's evident that the established players in the group: Pickford, Walker, Trippier Stones, Rice, Bellingham, Saka and Kane have become a reflection of Southgate's drab personality. They're not exhibiting leadership when it's needed i.e. when the team drops deep after scoring. And the attackers seem to be playing safe, playing with fear and not taking risks. Compare the performances of these lot, to the energy, creativity and risk-taking that Palmer, Mainoo and Gordon showed on the pitch. The new players haven't had time to absorb Southgate's negativity and are therefore able to play with some flair and freedom.
No its purely to do with profiles of players. Gordon is the only what that runs at people and in behind. Our first team is just square pegs in round holes because they're the best players
@@123kaired It's that as well. They're not mutually exclusive.
They're all touting the line that criticism is unnecessary.
Low block teams are easy to beat but youve got to move the ball around quickly and intelligently and with purpose.
Ben talks to his watchers like we have just come out of the womb and have no clue about football
He really doesn’t know much himself. There are so many ex players with horrendous football knowledge and insight. Ben acts that he knows the game
He knows more then every England fan tbh @@daedralord1
@@daedralord1 😂 as if you know more. Get real.
@@daedralord1 Likely knows 100% more than you do..
When you get signed and play for top tier teams, feel free to run your mouth
@daedralord1 bruv what are you chatting he was a premier league level goal keeper for years with 8 England caps what are you even talking about, Dunning Kruger working at it's finest right here.
The ball knowledge on that quiz was atrocious. Eder and Villa particularly
Topscorers this tournament also
So many pundits seem to be back tracking. Southgate is simply not good enough
First half got it right? As clueless as Clowngate with that take 😂😂.
Politicians, all of them. Obviously he might want a GK coach in the future. Cant ciriticize the politicians if you want a job with them
Southgate, Mr Bean of football. What do we expect? What an utter joke!! Glorified PE teacher. Useless!
One thing i kind ask myself, is why bellingham isnt pulled back to play with Rice, since majority of his career he was playing as CM, played some as DM too, only in real madrid he got to play more forward. So if you'd pair him with rice, you'd have a free slot for Palmer behind kane. Would be definitely worth a shot i think
Southgate is possibly the luckiest England manager in history. He's been gifted arguably the best squad of players the country has ever had. He's had the easiest tournament route in the last three major competitions, yet he has failed. Quite how he wasn't sacked, or had the balls to walk away after the Euro 2020 final debacle is proof the FA have some serious questions to answer on this saga.
He's reduced the best players in the Spanish and German leagues, and aguably the best player in the Premier League to league one players at best within less than two weeks. He's clearly lost the dressing room. The players look absolutely clueless on the pitch, even Harry Kane said in an interview that they weren't clear on how they should press.
This will not get better until Southgate is sacked, or finally realises he is managing way beyond his ability and does the right thing and leave.
In 2018 most of the media was talking about how poor the squad was. Some were predicting a group stage exit for England.
Gosh I can't wait for it to get better than SF & final of the 2 biggest tournaments possible 🎉
How are these the best players we've ever played had?? 😂😂 You can't be serious? Look at the players Sven had
Rice isn’t the player to play the first pass into, Wharton or Mainoo would be much more progressive. Rice is good at driving forward with the ball at his feet higher up the pitch, but getting him to make a positive forward pass from his own half doesn’t seem to come as natural to him
100ms yk watching Rodri for Spain really opens your eyes as to shite rice actually is on the ball .. I'd rather stones at CDM lol
It’s crazy to think SG has the solution of the cdm right in front of him with Mainoo and Wharton as they are both calm on the ball. As Conor Gallagher isn’t the answer and Trent ain’t a midfielder.
Im an England fan... they have some of the best in the world,but cant attack... they pass playing backwards.
I loved at 6:50 when Ben explained Pickford's mistake and then the middle guy immediately repeated what he said back to him in twice as many words!
Southgate needs a plan b,c,d,e etc ,if it's not working, the way you make it work is you make changes like change the formation, change who's doing what ,change where your attacking the most from ,change the roles of the players or change the personal on the pitch !!
ben speaks to grown men like he's speaking to a toddler
He explains the game to those who don't see what the pros do or think.
It's got him pretty far so far.
Why is it every England fan is 'a grown man'-ie an expert?
People on a long form pod, who've worked with England, can give an opinion we'd never usually hear. Fossie same when talking about players.
I didn't think he was patronising...🤷♂️
@@hamonryechinaski180 I'm not talking about WHAT he's saying, I'm talking about HOW he's saying it. Two different things. You clearly don't get what I'm saying.
@@hamonryechinaski180 I also wasn't referring to England fans when I said 'grown men' - I was referring to the two grown men he's sat next to.
Just one thing: Slovenians did not celebrate because they drew against mighty England, but because they qualified for the next round! Same scenes happened for both teams at the end of Slovakia vs Romania...
And how on earth do you not know who France beat in the 2000 final? The only major tournament won by a golden goal! After a last minute equalizer!!
Thank you Captain Obvious.
Is everyone a Detective in Slovenia?
I would have never guessed that, wow!
Honestly I don't care how its going for other teams as each are dealing with different issues. What concerns me the most is Southgates lack of leadership and vision. I think he is caught like a deer in the headlights when selecting the team. Not taking Grealish is something I didn't understand especially as Jack showed him in the game prior 'exactly' what options he can give Southgate.
I am convinced he just doesn't seem to know what he wants - caught betwixt. I don't under estimate that he has real issues to contend with like out of form and tired players that he has to navigate. But his comfortzone is defence, possession and he doesn't quite know how to lead an attacking team, hoping for those moments of natural brilliance that he has relied on his whole England Managerial career.
Trent needs to play if this team wants chances, which they are desperate for. Play Walker on the left and Trent at rb. Mainoo in the midfield and Gordon on the left
Especially against the teams in our group it's easily worth playing trent at right back and walker left back. Maybe against better teams ita a problem but we've also got an easy knockout draw aswell.
@@jdogg448 Trent played rb against he best teams in world football and has won every trophy, I don’t get this argument about playing him only against weaker teams, he locked up mbappe and neymar when he was a teen
First people complained that Kane wasnt coming back and helping the midfield and that he just stayed the whole time next to the defenders, then they complain hes in the midfield too much. Doesn't matter how hard you try, if they hate ya, they hate ya.
Anyone else feel that the players are TOO professional? They follow what the manager told them to do like zombies, without their own thoughts during the games?
Come on, amongst those millionaires, not one of them had the urge to just say to his teammates, "Guys lets try this one play, if we can score a goal from it, we will start playing the game this way, I will take the responsibility getting the scolding from the Manager" ?
Yep and how are we dripping too deep when our veteran players like walker/stones(won everything at man city) and trippier are all in the defence. They should be pushed right up forcing the rest of the team forward.
4-4-2 only works when the two forwards run at players instead of wishing for the perfect pass
What a beautiful time. Football every day. I have been somewhat disappointed by the quality of the games. The format with best number three's qualifying doesn't work. Hoping for some better games from the round of 16. The quarters for sure.
Spot on at 7 & 20 mins about T.Pulis monster mentality, "sweat buckets for 1 hr boys". Pickfords stupid long ball to rivals CBs is a huge problem. I want Ben Foster as GK.
Watch Capello chat to Kaveh Solekah of Sky. Don Fabio mostly blamed JP for all 3 defeats in the last 3 cups. Especially Euro Final at Wembley.
Also, Didi haman rip apart JPs lack of clam smart distribution. Pickfords stupid long ball to rivals CBs is a huge problem. I want Ben Foster as GK.

Strecth the rivals defences with fast 1-2's & energetic runs behind to receive lovely passes from Trent.
You can say that again.
No we didn’t get it right first half .. Jesus wept.
Southgate is an ultra safe manager. He sets out teams not to lose. I don't blame him because every England loss is treated as the end of the world. Any mistake is held against that player by other club's fans forever. International football comes down very low in the priorities of Premier league clubs and fans apart from when competitions come round and then they are expected to win every one and when they don't everybody is surprised. This cycle is rather tiresome.
Gordon plays for width (Kane wont drop deep to find ball with Gordon playing) Foden plays 10 and Bellingham alongside Rice. Do we swop Walker onto right? Trent can come on as RB if we need to create/chasing a goal. Trippier isn't working on left.
The problem with Rice is he isn't "smart" nor brave enough with the ball so he either makes a brilliantly solid #6 which struggles to dictate the play or he makes a powerful #8 who gets up and back but won't ever set the world alight
Spot on
It's obvious: Cole Palmer lone striker - he's got a great shot! Eze and Gordon on the wings - they're rapid, direct and go past people. Foden AMF in the number 10 role. Gallagher and Bellingham CDM. Trent, Rice, Guehi and Saka defending and where Pickford hasn't been hitting those short passes, let's get Kobbie Mainoo in goal. Bit of a risk only playing 10 midfielders but I think Guehi's earned his place.
BIG NEWS: Scott Carson has just been called up to the French squad. Apparently Deschamps needs a real winner to stabilise the team.
Southgate should have been shitcanned after the World Cup. What the hell was England thinking. They lost because of his tactics. They’re not scoring because of his tactics now. It’s not necessarily the players because he has them in the wrong positions.
Not playing the space in behind and playing Henderson side/back pass football.
The game changed with Palmer coming on.
Kane cannot play with Bellingham……either put Jude in the false 9 or bench Kane. He isn’t getting service anyways.
Just watched the 3 England games back now you’ve said France finished 2nd. I was wrong, we actually played so well in these games. Us fans were all wrong with what we saw. Just needed French 2nd to confirm it

@@CollinMcFC Tremendous. Wish i was in the same boat, just started work here 🙄
same lol
Ben : What Southgate has to do to WIN the next game...
Me : Leave
what baffles me the most about southgate's decisions is that he spent the last 1-2 years since the World Cup playing Maguire, playing 4-2-3-1, Trent right back, walker centre back, etc. then a few months prior to the tournament that matters he drops Maguire, moves Trent into mid, tries different formation, players trippier left back, walker right back, isn't starting the most inform player in the entire premier league (palmer). its actually INSANE how bad that is imo
Anthony Gordon also. He did in two minutes more than Foden has done so far the entire tournament
What? Run the ball out of play? Fair enough he actually tried to take his man on but he's not good enough for this level and didn't affect the game at all when he came on
Which first half did y'all watch 😂
Ace this loved watching and playing along
Ben it was when mainoo came on and then Cole and the passes were slicker between them and the intent to do one on one with Anthony Gordan on the other side the movement was better but we also needed Kane off n get Ollie on
We really just need a natural kalvin phillips replacement. Then its really coming home
Spain and Germany won the WC in 2010 & 2014, and they both had one thing in common, at that time Pep Guardiola was managed a club in that nation, was that just coincidence ? no, if you look at the squad, most of the players in the starting eleven came from the club Pep was managed, he basically preparing an instant meal for the national manager to cook and win a tournament, but somehow, England fails to do so, why ? because the minimum requirements is to have a proper manager.
Well Germany's players all said that Pep's influence was the downfall of the German NT. He had only been there for a season, the season before, both German teams got to the UCL final. Pep had nothing to do with Germany's success, but more to do with their lack of post-success. Watch how Germany played in any of the 2014 games, it was counter-attacking high press, klopp jupp huynckes style football. with pace and power. Averaged 53% possession. Almost anti-pep.
@@olela6018 what player ? named them, and proof they really said that ? you clearly never watch football your entire life, you never watch how german played before and after Pep arrived, 53% is anti pep ? LOL, how many possession you think they should average ? 70 ? 90 ? and you think Pep style doesn't high press ? how do think they get high possession without high press ? he's the one that developed Lahm to play midfield, and Neuer to play ball on his feet, and 7 players played under Pep in that German squad including the winning goal scorer Gotze.
Seeing as England have to play Slovakia now and not the Netherlands, perhaps England can afford to "rest" Bellingham (looks tired), Saka (does not look fit) and Foden (who is away for personal reasons and not back til late).
I would try Gordon left wing, Palmer as CAM and Bowen right wing. So far Englands attack has been disjointed, not creating much against so.called "lesser" opposition and general lacking.
Putting in Gordon, Palmer and Bowen would mean having 3 players who are direct, who like to run and beat their man (Gordon and Bowen especially who will hug the touchline), who have been in form for their clubs and who will want to put in a shift and impress. They are direct, have pace and can score and more importantly they will be playing IN THEIR BEST POSITIONS.
Put Rice and Mainoo behind and freshen things up. It is not rocket science. Just stop experimenting and play players who are in form and in their natural positions in a formation that suits them.
Englands problems have been the imbalance in first eleven, players looking tired or players just out of form and Southgate has to stop being so stubborn and freshen it up.
Things were so bad against Slovenia Italian TV said England were like "Snails on holiday" there was so little movement and desire.
We need someone who can pass on half turn
GEEZ look at that Air BnB view!! Cheers lads!
Gareth decided to go for a draw with 10mins to go😂 that was his plan 10mins before kick off😂😂
I have to believe that Southgate has not become incompetent over night. It has to be a genius master plan. We've qualified top of the group playing the worst football I have ever seen in my life. He's playing 3 right backs at once & 6 central midfielders including "Kane the striker". There's no pressing, no movement, no running, no ideas, no plan.
SURELY this has been a master plan to make teams underrestimate us in the knockouts when we play full strength and with proper width and depth where we suddenly start playing with creativity like we've seen in the final 2 minutes of each of the group games. IT HAS TO BE!!!
It's simply not true that I all of a sudden could do a better job than Southgate lmao
I'm scraping the barrel but its my last hope!!! COME ON!!!
He's been like this for years, sorry to burst your bubble. It's only now media are finally criticising him.
@@user-mq4hr1ly4b Yeah, been like it for a while. Remember we got the euro final by scraping past Denmark in extra time with a penalty rebound.
@@SociallyAwkwardMisfit literally the softest penalty as well, we were lucky
You should never feel better about yourself because other teams aren’t performing to standards as well. France playing at a lower level is nice, but it shouldn’t impact your game plan at all.
Makes me feel worse as its giving us another amazing opportunity which we're going to blow again!!!!
Tony pullis probably had a tug after watching slovenia being so disciplined in 442 for 90mins
Anthony Gordon need to start on the left aswell.
Terrible performance on the QUIZ. Wow
i think it’s that england right now lack a true playmaker. the man city players are used to having DeBruyne as a clinical dictator, the arsenal players are used to that being Odegaard, the real madrid players are used to that being Kroos or Modric. And both having wingers like Vinicius that will always have to have a shadow and will always take players on one on one, and or having that clinical dictator in the center which allows a winger themself to have the freedom to go one on one, like the saka’s and foden’s,,, i think that’s the difference.
they all like to be going forward with the ball, already like in motion, or having space and people already making runs,, not many of them want or can create that themselves maybe
Bit embarrassing to use terms like "quarterback"
Wear a suit and tie at the game against the Slovaks. Trust me. That will help.
Why people are afraid to say he should drop Saka
Top man Ben …..up the baggies
The quiz performance, very Southgate-esque.
We’ve gotta moved the ball quicker , sharp passing , make sure the ball gets to the man , and move our bodies faster run. Run run 🏃
England keeps playing it long from the keeper and losing possession. This game of winning the 2nd ball isn't working. We should have the quality to deal with a press and move the ball up the field.
Play Ollie Watkins that is what he needs to do
Grelish isn’t missed, city ruined him
Plan B has to has 2 strikers
Palmer got that Yamal feel about him. Got no fear
Perfect game for grealish, he attracts fouls, and plays between the lines, and takes people on, and keeps the ball well, our ball retention is awful
Thoughts on Trippier being replaced by… left footed ex defender Saka.
Gomez could play it…..for him it isn’t out of position and he’s sitting on the bench for trippier who’s had a horrible tournament
Palmer made an instant impact but Mainoo added very little. He looked lost. Wasn't even clear what position he had been asked to play. Adam Wharton would have been a much better option to support Rice in winning and distributing the ball.
He played as a 8 in a three man midfield. Helping out in defence and attack. He done well dude.
The teams that are doing well have players that will run at the back 4,This team is crying out for a jack grealish, or even a sterling!
Not one of you mentioned Mainoos introduction and the huge improvement on Gallagher... Just convenient to name their favorites. Sorry Ben I think you´ve got a good Pod but these are hardly pundits mate..
Why can’t we sub Foden on for Bellingham after 60 instead of tryna force them both in the team
Bellingham said on the England channel he was 'dead' on the pitch and the next day he clearly is shattered and should of been subbed. Probably affected England having someone feeling like that too. Should of made some more subs
Seems England players & coaching staff value stats above victory.
The difference in Watto in the England video and this one is jokes! Hanging out of his bot!
When did west ham gans become all the england fans 😂😂
These guys are having a laugh 😂
Resign and just let the guys play without the pressure of trying to understand and implement his lack of direction
In all seriousness, I think we would play better if we trieed this and Southgate wasnt there.
@@smokeybarr It couldn't be any worse and if I suspect it will be better then it proves Southgate must go
Who is the chap in the middle? I know his face but can't remember and it's doing my head in!
David Watson aka Watto
Flintoff
@@IAMNationX Thanks of course! Now I can get on with the rest of my day rather than frantically searching Google 😆
Amazingly had we played everyone who haven't had a game in a 4-4-2 with Toney and Watkins up front we'd have won 2-0!
Holly shit this whole thing was painful to watch… and they live off football apparently…
Blank sheet.
What formation, what characteristics of each player needed for each position.
Then pick the player best suited.
Not the other way around!
England's perennial problem.
They've never worked this out
England have been playing vanilla football. No risk taking. No jeopardy. Sure it grinds out results but my god, it's insufferable. 😅
The fact that against Slovenia he thought that Gallagher was the answer to our issues shows how inept Southgate is.
This is not a team.
Everyone is obsessed with individual players instead of how the collective functions as a unit.
They are a LW short and instead of adding one you want to take one from the RW.
Genius.
Will work perfectly with a RB at LB and a RB in midfield.
Has any one thought about Harry Kane as the GK, obvious solution as he knows how a ST thinks and he simply must start. Only problem is he’s not a RB so might not be able to play in someone else’s position.
What’s even better is the best RB doesn’t even want to play for this collective.
It’s pretty bloody amazing when you think about it. 😂😂😂
plastic cups, not glasses....stop being silly ben
Declan Rice is not Iniesta
❤
If England build the team around mainoo they can win the cup. He is the ONLY midfielder in the squad whos game is built to play through the line.
Ben how can you say that you don’t think palmer starts? In a 20 minute cameo he’s done more than foden and saka have done in 3 games. Palmer has to start it’s that simple. YPOTY for a reason more goals and assists than anyone apart from mbappe haaland and Kane. His burst of energy and free flowing football needs to be made use o. The only way England go far in this tournament is by playing palmer
Are they having a hangover 😅
As for Wato what game did you watch?.
If Southgate's going to play Kane ,play him as a Advanced Foward not a Deep Lying Foward ,you need him pressing that back defensive line and if he is offside a few times, who cares ? Harry is a great finisher and all he needs is one through ball or ball over the top and he'll most likely score.
Hand in his Resignation letter with immediate effect.
Where have you got that Jorginho played the last 10-15 games as number 6 with Rice pushing on for Arsenal. No he didn’t. Jorginho only played a few games. He can’t run. Partey played in that deeper holding role at the end of the season. For England Rice should play as a holder with Mainoo or Bellingham alongside him. What a great draw England have now. Should get to the final now. Haven’t looked like getting beat in any game either. Solid defence. We have the players that can click.
If rice is not a holder what is he so world class at?
That's the first time I've beaten them at the quiz. My parasocial arse is gonna by myself a prize.
I think he can bore the opposition into submission.
Have a shot .
He could grow a pair
