How that right side played baffles me, surely Southgate has seen how Saka thrives off having the fullback overlap plus support from the attacking CM, not having him be isolated almost all the time

By Fergie Go To PostMost of the squad has been terrible.Tempted to absolve Southgate for some of the blame after watching the last few minutes
By DiPro Go To PostShame the danes lost the first one.They didn't, it was a draw.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostThey didn't, it was a draw.I don't do draws.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostFour points from our opening two games is as good as we have ever done at the Euros.Europe really isnt Britain's field
This is exactly what I expected to happen on subbing Kane. I don't think he was good really in either game, but there are such clear reasons everywhere else on the pitch
An easy draw without waisting to much energy, four points and top of the group. Picked the right starting eleven, made good subs at the right time, just overall another Southgate tactical master class.
Cannot wait for the Soc Media armchair coaches, who of course know better, to do their thing and unfairly take it out on poor Gareth
Give him the Mancher United job quickly sir Jim before some otter club steals him away.

really interesting to see the experiment of a team full of world class players but without a single tactic going on
Still expect England to comfortably reach the SF/Final. They've one of the strongest squads in the tournament and that quality will see them through.
But they look significantly worse in and out of possession than squads with half the talent. Feels like there has been a big leap in the quality of coaching at international level and England are playing tournament football that went out of fashion a few years ago.
Denmark were far more coordinated with their pressing and playing from defence and midfield.

Would try Walker at LB if Shaw isn't ready and shift TAA back to RB. Something has to change in the middle or everything in front of them is pointless.
SHITE performance. Unfit players, zero cohesion, no balance, negative tactics. I’ve been very very positive towards Southgate over his time but that’s just abysmal.
By Batong Go To PostDanes will spoil England's party.😎
They normally do
By JesalR Go To PostDriving me crazy that we're playing the best right back in the squad at CM for 60 minutes before hooking him, just fucking up so much of the pitch
Disagree with TAA being the best RB - I think Walker is better and justifies his position.
I’d think about 3 at the back tbh, with Walker RCB and TAA RWB, but the left side is a shambles with no Shaw.

Will lose to Italy in the QFs by being supremely outcoached.
Good:
Saka
Maybe Watkins?
Mostly blameless:
Pickford, Stones, Trent, Walker, Trippier
Shite:
Southgate
Everyone else
Also Southgate
Saka

Trippier was shite. Maybe blameless, because he’s out of position. But he was shite.
I thought Guehi was good apart from the near fuck up.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostWe beat them home and away in qualifying.
Okay?
I said before the tournament that England without Shaw will be shite and, like, yeah it has been. Trippier is an appalling LB, and I would back most average RBs in the league to play better at LB than he does.
I think the good news is there's lots you can change here personnel wise if you're willing to slaughter some sacred cows. But there does fundamentally need to be a change.
Also Shearer's commentary was fucking brainless throughout. "But he does it under Pep!". Shut up you clueless cunt.

Is there any reason why Kane was playing on the right side so much?

Feels like professional negligence not to bring a left footed left back that is fit. Chilwell. Mitchell. Anyone.

Kane, Bellingham and Foden are just allowed to do what they want in this side.
Looking back at that 2018 side that made the semi, it was full of limited players who were tactically disciplined. Jesse Lingard CM ffs
By Laboured Go To PostWonder if we can try having a left flank at some point?
