Coaches ready.

I like the look of palmer, and mainoo not scared to get stuck in.
Guehi took one for the team and he knew what he was doing.
If we could now sub southgate i'd be a happy boy.

Bellingham has been one of the best players in the world this season and Southgate has turned him into Steve Corica.

 

[The Bear]

Southgate got lucky tonight that Denmark didn't take their chance. We'd have definitely lost to Germany.

"We set out to control our own destiny and that's what we've done"

Fuck off mate, you've been fucking shit for three games.

"These games are tough, whoever is next will be tough"

Fuck off, there's tough because you're against a top side, and there's 'tough' because you're poorly coached, tactically confused and you're all playing like shit.

 

[EpsomWolf]

Looks like we’re shuffling the pack but no matter who we bring on or how we mix it up the net result is much the same.

Losing the belief a single player
or tactical switch is going to be the panacea.

Eventually all fingers point to the manager.

 

[Wolftone]

whoopee

 

[Jinky]

Harry Kane saying we won the group and controlled our own destiny. We relied on Denmark not scoring because you couldn’t beat Slovenia. Absolute

 

[Jack Regan]

Bellingham has been one of the best players in the world this season and Southgate has turned him into Steve Corica.

He was mostly ineffective in the latter stages of the CL for Real too.

Lots of hype and pressure on him going into the tournament. Therefore hard to judge him on the three games, especially when the rest of the team has been so poor too. Should have been subbed tonight though, leaving him on for the 90 did him no favours.

 

[PuntsWolf]

We’ll still probably win it because the other teams aren’t great either, and Southgate seems to have all the luck that deserted us the last 40+ years

 

[Kenny]

Unbeaten, top of the group, just 1 goal conceded....you lot are hard to please....

Saw something the other day he is carrying a shoulder injury that will need surgery

 

[Tony Towner]

We won't go beyond the quarters irrespective of the draw. The players are scared shitless, paranoid defensive press conferences and always a safety first touch, rather than the first time ball. Seen it so many times before.

Don't make me break out the 'bait gif' again.

 

[Sniffer]

It wasn’t for the want of trying but we failed to create much at all. Palmer & Gordon in for Saka and Gallagher.
Bellingham has been unable to influence the game in the last two so either put him alongside Rice or on the subs bench. He looks totally spent.

 

[Kenny]

You try and put a positive spin on things and people fight back

Yeah, there’s something missing even compared to previous tournaments under Southgate. I thought we were quite good in the last World Cup and a bit unlucky to lose to a good French team, we look nowhere near as good as that this time round. Maybe just one tournament too many

 

[Wolftone]

 

[Del Woppio]

It doesn't matter whether we play Switzerland or Spain tbh. We'll just set up to nullify the space and attacking talent at both ends of the pitch and it'll just be whoever manages to score from 3-4 decent moves that shared across the whole game for both teams. Might get knocked out in the next round, might win the final 1-0. Might have tense excitement for the last ten minutes of each game but god knows the first 80 ain't gonna be pleasing to watch. Such a waste of probably the most talented group of attacking footballers in Germany

I agree to an extent but we’ve had a complete void on the left hand side. An out of form Chilwell must have been a better option.
I’ve not been critical of Southgate until this tournament but our crap performances have been on him rather than the players. If he’s going then at least go down fighting rather than this nonsense.
