Holmes_and_Watson Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Passing it back and across. Fine, because it drew them out. Good pass through the midfield. Going well. Got to Foden, who could have gone out into the space. But he automatically cuts in and back it goes. Southgate 45 mins from the end of his time. I think he was going to choose to go anyway at the end of the tournament. But to go out with a whimper is poor. And to go out because you didn't have Shaw, Maguire and Henderson covering up basic gaps is pretty grim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as people liked to moan, we were rarely this bad. Our possession football usually yielded an average of two goals and two points per game. England this tournament have been what we were in September. The difference is this squad wasn’t thrown together two months ago after all England’s best players signed for Tajikistan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 The worst of the bunch from this tournament. I honestly don't think any changes fix this, the entire team and squad is disjointed and unbalanced. The coaching is utterly horrific. No tactical understanding of the modern game from any of them. They can throw on Palmer and Gordon, but if they follow the same horrendous coaching instruction then it's just pointless. Every single game we've played this entire calendar year has been absolutley inept. It's all broken quite deep and 'tweaks' in a single game at HT aint fixing this rabble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Very reminiscent of us under Selles. A lot of pointless passing between the backline, a lot of aimless punts being soaked up by the opposition defence when it does go forward. Only real threat looks from a set-piece and nobody's working hard to put pressure on the opposition when we don't have the ball. 0 shots on target and nothing clear cut being created. Only this England team is a lot more talented than that Saints one, which makes it all the more impressive from Southgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Beyond awful. If Shaw is halfway fit he’s got to come on and give us at least a tiny bit of something down the left. Foden having a stinker but it’s all so predictable down there, Trippier is only going to cut in each time. Probably have TAA on for Walker too, get some width from the full backs. Then take your pick for the other 3 subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 12 minutes ago, SNSUN said: Yet we still got promoted so there's hope for England yet I suppose. If only England had Adam Armstrong... Martin always had the goal of trying to move opponents, allowing passing opportunities at pace. We got to see the best and worst of that developing. It doesn't seem as though Southgate really knows what the outcomes of trying that approach are, or how to get there. Trusting far too much on individuals in a system that requires teamwork to be effective. Then hampering it further by putting in players who aren't good fits to the system. Foden/ Trippier mentioned a lot. But setting up to move opponents, and not doing it to support Saka, who is keen to get behind has been very frustrating.

SaintsBarry74 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 The last run we had in the Euros was a joke: all games at Wembley, barely any opposition fans, and a dodgy penalty gifted in the semi-final. At some point, Southgate's luck must run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
