By n8 dogg Go To PostSouthgate too concerned about a USA counter here by keeping Mount on. Reluctant to move away from the 3 man mid.would hope a rice/hendo mid would help deal with it.
By inky Go To PostMaguire only good english player today
I think Shaw and Kane have been alright. Kane has spent too much time dropping deep, but initiated some attacks that have come to nothing.
Bellingham struggled today. USA pressed him quickly.
Yeah massive disconnect between each player. Random flicks, passes and ball-watching.
It's so United.

By Call Sign: Apollo Go To PostEveryone hates on Maguire but every time I see him play for England he plays his role well
Does very well for England, yeah. Only concern I have for him is his lack of match fitness, rather than his fit in this set up.
By Plasma Go To PostSouthgate is so shit, any half decent manager can get this team going.
It’s frustrating. He should be pushing the team forward and putting Foden on and risk losing, safe in the knowledge this side should also be beating Wales in the worst case scenario US nick one here (especially given Wales need the win and can’t sit back).
Like what the fuck is this, all the attacking talent we have and we can't manage a shot on target? There's just something fundementally wrong with how we're set up and coached.
By Call Sign: Apollo Go To PostEveryone hates on Maguire but every time I see him play for England he plays his role wellThe setup is designed to protect him as much as possible. I’d argue with better CBs you don’t have to cover up for England could set the dogs loose. Thatd require a better coach than Southgate though
Bad game, bad result, bad game management, and deflating after Monday. Hopefully helps people check their expectations.
Still on track for that predictable quarter final exit.
