[Football] Euros 2024 - Round of 16 (England vs Slovakia & Spain vs Georgia)

[Safe.]

Honestly, how is it possible that we are this bad. Southgate is an utter mug.

Saka keeps coming short, we don't move the ball quick enough, no one running in behind.
Southgate said he didn't change the team for consistency reasons, he wasn't wrong we're consistently shit.

 

[MTSeagulls]

No problem we can beat souvlaki with 9 players

Your thinking is skewered

 

[Han Solo]

England will sort it through a cheap pen and a deflection. All will be well.. until the next game.

 

[jcdenton08]

I don't think Foden touched the ball in the first 10 minutes. I heard his name mentioned on the commentary to remind me he was actually on the pitch.

All he ever does is a) cut inside and get crowded out and b) take an ineffective corner

 

[birthofanorange]

Southgate toasts his bread on one side only (and only lightly) in case it hurts his teeth.
Fact.

The lads in the Under Armour and Lucozade adverts would probably have played more as a team first half.

 

[Weststander]

Don't think Southgate can be accused of being too defensive this time. He can be accused though of having a team with no pattern of play at all, no discernible plan and lacking in any cohesion. Five blokes wandering aimlessly around up front and the midfielders miles away, with a huge gap between Slovakia's defence and pressing midfielders but nobody with the brain to exploit it.

Exactly.

An arrogant front 5, when we lose the ball and are countered, their best effort is to trip a superior athlete from Slovakia running away.

 

[Swegulls]

That runner, the Hardest Geezer, must be wondering if it was worth it, running to all games. I would book a flight home.

 

[essbee1]

GET F*CKING PALMER ON.

 

[oldboyroy]

We'll smash them 2nd half.

 

[Krafty]

Gareth Southgate has done an incredible job of making this England squad look so bad.

 

[Hometownglory]

Foden and Saka have been shit all tournament. Bellingham: one half decent game and f*** all else. Kane: totally absent. Defence: League One standard.

Mainoo is the only player that can come out of that half with any credit.

Yet Gareth STILL doesn't change it up. Bloke is a clown.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

“More of the same second half please lads”

 

[Frutos]

No subs at half-time?!

 

[AmexRuislip]

 

[LamieRobertson]

Halftime time decisions……no not the subs but should I cash out my monster bet on a Slovakia win at 7/1

 

[ManOfSussex]

No subs at half time. **** me.

 

[WhingForPresident]

I'm going for one half time sub, Gallagher for Mainoo

Oh, none at all. Even better.

 

[hart's shirt]

Wright: "Something has to change!"

Southgate makes no subs.

*shakes head*

 

[Super Steve Earle]

He could always bring on Dunky for Guehi and tell him to boss things from the back, martial the defence, play the through balls to split the midfield and spray a few balls wide to the intro of Palmer and Gordon. Southgate needs a commander.
