England can't get the ball through the middle third quick enough. Bellingham and Foden not showing for it to get it off the defenders and not convinced they need Rice and Mainoo playing together either.

Kane dropping too deep to get involved.

Lovely to see.

They haven't played anyone that justified playing two holding midfielders, would be much better having Rice in there himself with Gordon on the left wing, allowing Foden to play in the middle like he has all season.

Southgates pre England managerial career is getting Middlesbrough relegated and then sacked because he was doing shit in the championship. He's rode a group of v good players that should be able to beat slovamarkia etc if coached half properly

And in every tournament, including this one, they've had the easiest of easiest draws. Properly ridiculous. The year Kane got massive plaudits for sticking a few past Panama was embarrassing - but ingurlund can't choose who they play against.

Looking at the way the tournament is spilt, anything other than a final in this tournament is rank incompetence.

England's game plan is we have good players so something will happen eventually.

It's the reason they struggle to badly and quality players look so poor.

All it takes is being well organised and they're fucked and reliant on a bad mistake or a bit of magic.

Germany play how England think they should.

Total silence during the replay of Bellingham's dive. If that was the other way about Dixon would've been seething.

Slovakia will go down to 10 in this which will prove the pivotal moment. As bad as England have again been they'll score so Slovakia have to continue to show some kind of attacking intent or it will be all out attack v defence 2nd half. Need half time first though.

My abiding memory of that is England losing 1-0 at half time and the pundits spent the entire break talking about who England would be playing in the next round.

 

As I remember it, 20 min to go, England 2-1 down, absolutely no danger of them scoring, and the commentator saying ‘Well, they’re going to have to play better than this against France on Sunday’.

The way the ref is being conned by the dives you just know he's going to give a penalty  at some point.

I find it amusing that England have finally got a manager that can deal with the press and PR very effectively, but they forgot to appoint someone that can actually manage a football team.
