The racism is awful, I'm not attempting to trivalise that. I simply don't consider the 'anger' at Southgate at all comparable to what is a truly reprehensible act done by vile people online. I'm not sure why you are posting those results, they prove my point. Which of those results you are...

I wouldn't go that far. There was some horrible racism experienced by players on social media (not all of which came from British-based accounts I should add) but I am struggling to recall a great deal of genuine anger directed at Southgate and the players for any of our tournament defeats, save...

Agreed. Those yellow cards towards the start reflected the pressure the players are feeling. Even before the goal you could see it in their faces.

Slovakia look very useful going forwards. Always seem to have runners when someone gets the ball - defence is giving it away so cheaply. And how is Walker always letting someone in behind him? England have their usual malaise, Slovakia actually have purpose. Difference in quality of coach again...

Already a few chances in this game, shame nobody is clinical. Switzerland looking a decent side. They press well and play on the front foot. Italy playing lower level Premier League rubbish like Darmian and El Shaaraway and seem really shit. Not sure why Zaccagni isn't starting?

In individual quality Slovakia aren't that good but they are quite capable of being well organised. In the Belgium game they scored early on and then defended well. They were vulnerable at the back to an intense press but Belgium didn't do much of it - not sure it is something we are capable of...

Fan services tweeted a couple of days ago that any member who doesn't buy a season ticket retains their place on the waiting list again. If it was competitive the club would be taking you off the list if you turned it down, I have been offered one every year since 2018 and always say no...

Back in my hotel now. I'm really disappointed by all three of those group games. The tactics in all three were very poor. I can somewhat excuse the Serbia result given the context of it being the first game and getting an early goal, but in the bigger picture everything is pointing to a really...

So poor so far. Very narrow, very static. England are a very predictable and easy team to play against unless some individual quality lights up the game - quite similar to France. We desperately need some width and a proper focal point. Rather concerned now that we may end up not winning the...

Came on at the same time as Lewandowski and similarly had zero presence in the game.

I went so at least someone did. 😂 Both fans were in very good voice, Austria brought massive numbers. Actually a really good game. Austria look well-drilled and created a lot of chances, capitalised well on errors. Poland did their usual thing of not turning up at a tournament. Embarrassing...

I'm position 49 on the waiting list as per the email so will inevitably be offered a season ticket again. Won't take it, which reinforces why the club's belief in the waiting list is silly.

Southgate loves a draw middle game. It secures top so long as we beat Slovenia - reckon we will. But the actual performance was shocking. Tactics very poor.

So stale since the goal. Think Southgate is after and would take the point here today. Once again we have zero width down the left, but not sure why we leave Saka so isolated when he looks like the most creative option.

Was at the game, really enjoyed that! Slovakians produced a brilliant atmosphere and the game itself had so many chances. Belgium are shockingly wasteful. Faes is dogshit, how does he start for a supposedly top international team? I wouldn't want him if we were in the Championship. Was on the...

France drew 0-0 at home to Canada today.

Don't get it at all. Seems very weak as a goalkeeper, Kompany lost patience with him and now Burnley are cutting their losses.

It's only a friendly but doesn't bode well. Much too slow and the lack of a left-back was seriously hurting the width. Most important thing would have been to sign off with a win and go into the tournament with a positive atmosphere but it was just so laborious, needed to simply take the shot...

Thought Bowen played awfully against Bosnia, we have decent choice in the wide areas and would have preferred Grealish as something a bit different. Cutting Maguire only to then play Dunk feels like a downgrade as well. I'd have liked it to be Branthwaite.

Similar to yours Johnny, although I would have Branthwaite in over one of Dunk or Konsa. Disappointed that Southgate didn't give him any minutes in the previous friendlies as going forward I think he will be our best CB option to go with Stones.
