We were so so so lucky today and if we play the same tactics against Switzerland we simply will get hammered!

Gaizka Mendieta who has played with and under southgate on itv has summed it up, said that southgate is a defensive minded person and will always look to not concede first and will not get the best out of the attacking talent england have, and then said that southgate would not change.England have some of the best attacking players in the world right now. But also have one of the most defensive minded manager inbthe world. Good luck to him this tournemant but he has to be removed after.
Kane should have scored his header, Rice hit the post, Foden with a disallowed goal by cm's, Bellingham scores a worldy. Not to mention the defence - who looked like conceding .... exactly only once (and did).It was a dominant performance from England. 1st or last minute, class comes through in the end. Very confident for the quarter.

If you're a Thorney you've been spending too much time talking to The Chaff King.

Never happened before What a manager How high do you set your bar with this group of players, more importantly this manager?We were seconds away from being dumped out of the competition by bloody Slovakia!To keep on shouting ‘it's the result that matters’ merely shows you to be a sheep following the herd.
How anyone can defend that performance or any performance in this competition I have absolutely no idea.You can literally see the frustration and confusion in the players faces. They have no idea what it is they are supposed to be doing the majority of the time because they are being asked to do the complete opposite to any manager in the world it appears.Everyone has been saying Southgate needs to make changes to his tactics, formations, starting XI's all tournament and they only position he has changed is the one defensive midfielder.We're poor defensively and have a plethora of attacking talent in the squad but yet Southgate continues with this slow, passive, poor passing tactic that every opposition manager knows now and exploits.We were so so so lucky today and if we play the same tactics against Switzerland we simply will get hammered!

Quote from: Michael Shaw on June 30, 2024, 08:40:14 pmDid some posters not notice WE WON THE DAMN GAME. I don't care how we did it, we still ground out a win. Anyone would think the team are on the plane back already. Gareth and the team have not yet let us down and how can we expect to go? Win the tournament only and anything else they are all shite?? What a bunch of fckng whingers football fans are. At least moan AFTER we go out.You’re missing the point. We very nearly were out, if it wasn’t for an overhead kick from our man from Real Madrid in the last minute of stoppage time. It shouldn’t be this difficult. Maybe if we were grinding out results against the best in the world, but we’re struggling to beat teams ranked much lower than we are. It doesn’t have to be like this. The reason it is like this is because of the manager.
