Play Trent as a RB instead of klye put kobbie mainoo rice and Phil play Jude as a 10 Gordon toney and palmer then sub bring Harry walker saka and gallager
Why pick Shaw when he’s injured, really infuriates me
Bring on the substitute manager or Southgate will have 11 goalkeepers next.
PLAY WHARTON
I would play Rishi at No.10 whilst he’s still in post! 😂
They need a defensive midfielder. They are struggling to play out the back and they only have attacking midfielders playing. Bring Gordon on the left wing. If you’re going to playing TAA you should play someone like Watkins who has the pace for the through balls.
Cole Palmer FFS, send trent home, useless.
Picking Trent and Gallagher over Mainoo is craziness. Not giving Palmer a minute is more craziness.
The problem with the England team is the fear of failure from the media hype. They are too afraid to let down the nation because there is too much expectation on their shoulders. Denmark didn’t come to the Euros to be beaten. Slovenia wouldn’t either. Take the advice of Erik Ten Hag about kobbie Mainoo, be patient about these boys. It is sometimes too early to make them feel they are on top of the world. Phil Foden needs time. Declan Rice needs time. Bellingham needs to learn to deal with this kind of pressure.
It's crazy that Trippier doesn't push up the pitch further cause he does it for Newcastle. Instead he just passes sideways and never forward
Saka at LB ❤
Here in Australia a cricket and AFL country we beat Denmark at the last world cup.and Australia are a third tier football team.i rest my case
Sorry 4th tier team
It's to late to chat shit we should of mixed it up from the start….players unfit tho the same squad played 2 games straight it's shit its a squad effort not a team effort we will be next to Scotland in the goals charts
As always, we need someone who can take the ball off the back 4 and spread it around comfortably. Rice isnt that guy, thats why Arteta doesnt play him there. Mainoo is also too attacking.
If he starts Gallagher I wont be watching
Give Trent some flying wingers or a striker that wants to make Winger type runs in behind cough! Watkins! and we might get somewhere let Harry come on for the last 30 minutes of games after opponents have been ran ragged by our pacey forwards that we've got sat languishing on the bench. Kanes lack of pace won't be so stark looking then.
All the England old players who didn't win nothing, are talking against the new ones. One thing is, England don't have spirit to play football. Their media talk too much, and hype their players, but they don't capacity to conquer. Like Ghana national team.
Southgate is the problem trust me watkins and tony to start bring kane on for the last 30mins if needed bench trent and foden bring foden on for the last 30mins if needed and stop going on the defensive as soon ss England go ahead why is that so hard southgate is a terrible manager and makes bad decisions hes clueless saka has actually been englands most dangerous player
💯💯💯2 games in Gaffers doesn’t know his best team in a MAJOR TOURNAMENT 😂 – PEP lost to real because his arrogance playing positional players foden & grealish not dribblers pacy wingers like Doku and Bob to counter their threat. Here we have the same problem, but getting saka out; pacy power crosses and dribbles is a joke in place of foden luxury player; I said it! where is his grind and grit! England need pace too too slow and predictable- cutbacks and knock abouts! Look at spain portugal pace power and dribblers. Foden Kane* rice out Gordon left wing, mainoo for rice, palmer 10 for forden, saka right wing – power forwards & yes oli 9 because of his work ethic! Now that’s a balanced attack minded team!!!
This lot were calling for Trent to play in midfield before the first game. Love them all as players, but it shows how much former pros actually know about the game.
It's only the pundits who didn't know how good Guehi is! Ask every single Palace fan. Btw, he's got 11/12 caps and you lot been talking about him as if he's a League 2 player,cretins…..
These guys are already comparing Wharton to Fabian Ruiz😂😂, do they ever learn and Argentina is a good example of how Balance in Midfield is so important, Enzo Fernandez was not supposed to be part of the starting eleven but Lionel Scaloni recognized the imbalance and added him, the rest is History.
Bellingham instead of Trippier , but more as a left midfielder. Mainoo as a holding 6, Rice the other midfielder. A propper left attacker: Gordon. A propper nr 10: Palmer. And try Watkins as a striker. So, they should open, widen and stretch their play, and not play with a overcrowded midfield
Gareth Pancake
Who gives a fcuk anymore.
Play saka at left back. It's whee he started
The logical solutions: Leave the defence alone for Slovenia. If a couple of them need a rest. Then rest them. Change the attack on the training ground and pick the 3 best pressers. Change the midfield on the training ground and pick the 3 best quick passers of the ball. Simplify selection then add tactics with alternate plans and solutions.
Palmer & Gordon should play, maybe Watkins or Toney to start as well. TAA could start at RB and give Walker a rest.
Should just play back 3 and play 5 in midfield, so you can play foden in the middle
The key thing is clearly you cannot play everyone all the time. If they go and win it everyone gets a medal who’s there for their contributions to the squad. The common goal. The right line up for the opposing team on the day. Then the next game then the next. Until we start working like Pep does, Benching players that in other teams would start every game. We wont win a thing. It’s the England obsession with he must play or he must play etc all the time.
I'm wondering what happened to Grilish!
There's a lot of evidence that these short passes from Pickford are disasterous. Goal scored from this play in last game!
Get Wrigthy off the air I can't listen to his stuttering, either compose a sentence or stay quiet.
Whoever is picked, they need to play better than they have up to now. Faster, more accurate and stronger in tackles. We're looking decidedly inferior at moment.
Southgate is absolutely rubbish. Bottled the WC in 2018 semi-final against Croatia, and bottled the Euro final against Italy at home soil. This guy is a clown, and is a league 2 manager.
This is what i think,
Kane can't press and is unfit and hasn't played a full 90 minutes for months, Foden is ineffective, Rice is overrun in midfield because Bellingham doesn't want to track back and Alexander Arnold is out of his depth, Southgate can get the blame for playing this squad but the players have to take the blame for being unable to execute whatever game plan he gave them because there aren't good enough to do it.
what needs to happen is this change formation to 4-4-2, Foden needs to be dropped or played on the right instead of Saka, Kane needs to be a 45 minute player, Alexander Arnold needs to be out of midfield and on the subs bench as a right back.
On the right Walker and Foden play together for Man City, know each other, can player well together.
on the left Trippier and Gordon, play together for Newcastle, know each other, can player well together.
Kane is the striker furthest forward and Bellingham just behind.
Starting 11 from left to right
Pickford
Trippier -Guehi – Stones – Walker
Gordon – Rice – Mainoo (or Gallagher)- Foden
Bellinghaham
Kane
There won’t be radical changes, this is Gareth Safegate. Arnold will be out and Gallagher will be in and that’ll be it. England will scrape out a narrow win or draw then hope to do the same in the next round then go out against a decent side in the quarters after going 1-0 up
Palmer has to play
Watkins left wing Saka right wing Henderson still can play in midfield 🎉
Wait so they didnt give us their team
How can you leave rashford and sancho who can play wing and pick the other guys
It’s baffling the amount of people asking for changes to be made to the side, like that’s the main issue? How can you have a front 6 of Rice, Trent, Bellingham, Kane, Foden, Saka, and not be able to keep the ball/create chances against Serbia and Denmark? The games have been even in possession! I know possession doesn’t mean a great deal, but our players our simply better than theirs, and Southgate can’t coach them to get, and keep the ball. All that front 6 dominate football matches they are involved with at club level. Suddenly they can’t?
That in itself is massively worrying and shows complete tactical ineptitude from Southgate. It’s never been more clear than now that he’s completely out of his depth, when the plan isn’t to sit back and counter. Even in recent tournaments, the majority of our goals came from set pieces.
We will be out in the RO16 if we draw any semi decent side. We will thankfully then see the back of Southgate and onto the next.
I think it says alot that we're talking about Mainoo and Wharton, the two least experienced players in the squad, to come in and solve the problem.
If the solution involves them then the problem clearly runs deep
Won't take a gamble v Slovenia!? And a free shot
Triple Durex pratgate out
Manager needs changing
Players were playing as if they were constipated
English team played Ugly
Gallagher was a waste of time
England should Not meet
Germany,France,Portugal Netherlands and above All Not Spain,they will get a spanking and will psychologically damage the players
