That pitch is bad. Danes shaded it.

Are we blaming Pickford for the goal?

He only has little arms, bless him.

Is the whole forcing Foden and Bellingham into the team going to be the same forcing Scholes, Lampard and Gerrard in?

We should have picked the best two of those (probably Scholes and Gerrard) to play in a balanced team.

Lampard was better than both Scholes and Gerrard. 

If we're picking two, it's Lampard and Gerrard all day for me.

Plus Scholes sucks his daughters toes.

 

What? Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not even joking. I would say look it up if you want proof but uh.. Don't. Trust me. Just don't.

Great strike, which keeper would have got to that? 

Kevin Keelan! 😉

England players looking well leggy on that heavy pitch.

Bellingham, Rice and Trent have been particularly poor.

I wouldn't have started with Trent, I would have Rice & Bellingham as our two holding midfielders, but when England are on the attack, Bellingham has the legs to support our attacks, leaving Rice just in front of our back four. I would then bring Foden in just behind Kane & just give him a free role, then put Gordon on the left wing.

I pity the team that ends up with Southgate as their manager after this tournament. Unless of course it’s Ipswich 

[Capt. Pants 4,792]

Are things that bad that we're thinking bring on Ollie Watkins for Kane?

His friendly with Delia, it could be us if the hoff doesn't work out.

[cambridgeshire canary 7,593]

So no changes then? Feels like this is a match calling out for them

I spat my beer out laughing at that. Genuinely.

[Capt. Pants 4,792]

Have to say the ref is very poor.

Not really. Id play Bellingham next to Rice (sorry Trent in midfield just doesnt work) Foden in the middle, Saka on the right, and someone like Gorden on the left.

Either that drop trent for Mainoo. 

I'd prefer that to this eleven. But Foden and Bellingham in the three behind Kane is emphatically not working.

[Capt. Pants 4,792]

Get Trent off.

[Samwam27 589]

Get Trent off.

Should have been off from the 1st min. Shouldn't have started. Oh there he wastes it again! We've got better players who play in the middle naturally then Trent!

[A K Narey 206]

Why are England playing at walking pace?

We need to move the ball more quickly.

[Samwam27 589]

Taken Southgate 53 mins to work out what he should have worked out in the first game!

[Keith Scott 290]

Gallagher for Trent. The guy is an absolute robot 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

All the best.

Big Keith Scott.

[Daz Sparks 1,539]

We are one dimensional, predictable and slow. 

[cambridgeshire canary 7,593]

Funny how I got hate for saying Southgate has boring tactics yet now everyone is agreeing with me.

 

Although I will say we took Trent off and now we are starting to improve.. Let's hope we keep it up

Serbia wanting Croatia and Albania punished for their fans chanting kill the Serb.

[Capt. Pants 4,792]

Rice has been hopeless as well.

[TheGoogler 597]

This feels so much like the end days of Wagner at Norwich. Lifeless. Drab. Not playing to our strengths and straightjacketed by a system that doesn't work. 

[Capt. Pants 4,792]

Fcuking Rice, ****e.

[A K Narey 206]

I imagine that Kane has touched the ball in our half of the field as much as he has in the attacking half.

[Nik Vawn 342]

What a pile of. $H1TE this game is, if Wales had a few of these players we would win the tournament, no pride or passion, pathetic so far.

[Daz Sparks 1,539]

Why doesn't Pickford look to his left once in a while, he constantly overlooks Trippier, who is often in loads of space.

They’re have been many on here calling out Southgate for ages.

**** me, he's actually made some boldish changes.

[Capt. Pants 4,792]

Beginning of the end for Kane.

[Top corner 260]

Only Southgate could make Foden look very average.
