Engerlund v Slovenia ..MDT

Another slow performance. I would say let’s hope the second half is better but I’ve been saying that since after the first half an hour of the tournament.

 

Think the players need a right good fcking get VAL in that dressing room

 

Stewart Barrowclough - what’s he doing?
He’d take them on.

 

Get fkin Gordon and Wharton on FFS

 

They surely cannot come out 2nd half without a rocket up them and an increase in pace and intensity.
Surely.

 

‘International class’ is a bit flawed. Most of these teams are weaker than what they play at club level.

He’s happy to give chances to Eze & Guehi of Palace but hasn’t given Mitchell a chance who’s played well in the same side.

 

Best we've played so far in the tournament and half way to another clean sheet.

Playing a team parking the bus will make you look poor. Once we get to the knock out stage playing other teams who fancy their chances, we will look better.

 

Playing poor will make us look poor

No excuses

 

Another superb performance this, nice easy on the eye pass and move football, other teams will be absolutely bricking it at the thought of facing us.

 

The use of a right footed left back results in Foden having no service down the left flank. So he comes in field searching for the ball, their right back shadows him leaving two centre halves to double up on Kane forcing him further up the pitch dragging their entire back line with him.
We could, yet, win this game 4-0, possibly win the entire tournament. But our team contains some of Europe’s finest talent and Southgate is crushing it.
Some will disagree. But picture this bunch with, for example, Klopp organising them.
I watched Croatia nearly get eliminated, last night, but saw a togetherness, in their team that would put our lot to shame.
This is my first public criticism of Southgate but that man, alone, has crushed our spirit.

 

Rico Henry.
Tyrick Mitchell.
Alfie Doughty.

 

Collins ball

 

Some world beaters there.

 

Both happy to scrape a point or narrowly snatch a goal after boring everyone to death.

Both a product of the fa coaching system

 

Better than a bloke who probably won't play or be anywhere fit enough, or someone whose left foot is for standing on. They've got to start somewhere.

 

All better than playing a player out of position

 

It's a team game. All 11 don't need to be world class individuals, just the team.

 

Yet again, a crap performance. Not having a natural left-footed left back is detrimental to the team, but the overall standard of performance is properly just shyt, as Gary Lineker so eloquently put the other day.

 

Not really...Henry's out with an ACl injury, Doughty is really a championship player...Mitchell..Well possibly.
