No, Craig, it's better having some 3rd places going through. Otherwise everyone just calculates what they need in the 3rd game, instead of going for it.
I bearly know anything about Football.. I just enjoy the game. However I’ll allow myself to say something about England that I know would lead to at least 80% better results: Be More Aggressive and stop looking so scared on the pitch.
Southgate should be fired for picking Alexander at midfield. He's got slow feet . Brilliant when he's got time to dwel on the ball and pick a pass . Midfield is different
Has to drop Trent next game (would actually prefer him at RB over Walker but will never happen under Southgate) but Conor Gallagher isn’t any better and if anything will have less control in midfield, absolute bull in a china shop. Need to pull Jude into 8 and Foden at 10
What makes you think that TAA will do better in that position defensively, against those wingers you mentioned, if Kyle Walker is the one that has the pace and is a better defender generally against wingers?
Cause Southgate is incompetent. He did fine as an 8. He should play RB. But it’s totally unfair to then all of a sudden say oh remember what we did in the warm up games and have been working on for ages? JK. You’re a DM now. Not even every proper midfielder can play DM properly.
England have TAA and foden most overrated players both need special position to play football that position requirement is no hard work and others need to work hard for them and in national team no one will do that for manager,
@@William_Organ Did he tell you he wants to go back to RB? I have not heard a single ex international player say that about his performance in midfield. Along with the rest of the team his performances have been wanting. No need to exaggerate to get your point across. After a certain point it comes across as lying, petty and personal.
Always felt that midfield especially DM is one of the most disrespected positions on the football pitch. Because from coaches to fans and pundits, some simply think any player with decent passing can play in central midfield. I wonder how many fans will have seen their club go through a phase in which they didn't buy a DM and tried to force players to that position who were illsuited towards that role. Trent has a lot to learn about central midfield. And that has to start at club level. Not a major international tournament.
@@NoirloreExactly. Scored in the CL final, scored clutch goals that settled the title during that treble winning season, was crucial for Spain in Nation's league that they won.. Yet Haaland and Messi were talk of the hour. Just goes to show most fans know nothing about actual football
DM with a ball playing double pivot is not too bad but in a single Pivot it is quite difficult. The 8 is the hardest role in the game but world football got a boat load of them for some reason and lacking proper 6s.
Games have been good, expanding to 24 teams hasn't watered down the quality in my opinion. But Craig Burley is right about the 4 best 3rd place teams going through. It's ridiculous. 36 matches are being played, just to eliminate 8 teams. Ditch the round of last 16 and go straight to the quarter finals. Group winners + two best 2nd place teams go through. No time for dawdling, no room for error. Go for the top, or go home.
Inverting from right-back to midfield and playing in midfield from the start are complete different things. Just playing long passes doesn‘t qualify you to play central midfield. Trent has deficiencies when he plays with back to goal, doesn‘t have the awareness and press-resistence to play that role on a high level. And because Rice is more a No8, but can‘t dictate the tempo of a game from deep areas, England is not able to control the game. Bellingham as No10 doesn‘t work, he’s lacking creativity, variety in passing and is limited technically. This is literally the most imbalanced midfield i‘ve seen in the Euros. Shocking
Playing as an 8 and playing as a DM is also completely different. He had never played DM before until about 20 mins into the Serbia game. Southgate is the problem. He is useless and needs to go.
@@dead_r33d I know that, but the fact is Don is over in the US, wants to go out for dinner with them, and they are blanking him. He has known Burley for years, not Dan.
No transition just that he is a defender that can't defend taught it will work in midfield but it's seems not to be working So one more option is check him on right wing before moving him to the bench Over hyped English players
He could use his great passing range if England had players running forward, like Watkins did. But generally, he needs to be playing wing-back, or wide midfield in a 442.. neither of which England play.
Greedy UEFA ruined the European Championship when they increased the number of teams to 24. Unsurprisingly, eight teams that aren't good enough to qualify for a 16 team tournament, bring down the quality of the competition.
What's the point of playing trent if you don't have runners in behind, bar saka. Kane, jude, foden all drops deep in midfield. England is so boring and predictable.
If trent doesn't work for England it shouldn't be forced... England has had a lot of good players that didn't play much in the national team....trent is solid but doesn't seem to fit in Southgate's plan
Trent should have been told years ago to learn to defend and take it seriously, he can only play under a top Klopp side, he isn’t a starter for any other top team, he could end up in the championship if he’s not careful
@@AzzzyP 🤔I’d like to believe that the news of TAA going to Real Madrid is driven by the media and not by Real Madrid because as quickly as the headlines were in is as quickly as they were out because shortly after the news of Mbappe going to Real Madrid started picking up and it was all about acquiring him. Now Real Madrid have their sights set on other areas of the team so I don’t think the whole thing about TAA is going to be revisited. (If RM had any serious interest in getting him they would already be making an effort to sign him by having talks with his representatives while he’s at the Euros given that he is also in his last year of his contract which makes him cheaper).
Arnold isn't defensively minded to play RB or CM or DM...I'm a Liverpool fan and I'd be quite happy for ARNE SLOT to either COACH TAA to being a proper player or SELL HIM.He is a liability defensively regardless of where you play him.Hope Slot can make the correct decision.
@@kudzai6131 😂You wish. Klopp is the only one who cared to take on someone so dumb and one dimensional. That’s probably why he only wanted him to do one thing because he knew wasn’t smart enough to play his natural position at the highest level😂.
@@youngmetrojokeman6172 😕Why because he gave harsh criticism to someone who deserves it even though they say that they are a Liverpool fan? You can be a fan of a team and still give criticism and honesty that’s what Liverpool need is to be held to the highest standards in order to win and be successful as a club and not just have these TAA lovers who are content with someone who is terrible at the one thing they are there to do.
@@salerio1890 I won’t disagree that trent is a bad defender and does not match walker at RB. but he does provide offensive creativity in that position that england desperately need. maybe he should not start, but subbing him in for a second half might make a difference
It's got nothing to do with Walker is better defensively, Trent is actually way better offensively. It's about coaching and tactics. Get the right coach who knows how to manage Trent and Trent starts any day that's why Real Madrid want him.
No, Craig, it's better having some 3rd places going through. Otherwise everyone just calculates what they need in the 3rd game, instead of going for it.
Don with the banter 🤣
Just play him rwb play three at the back
Change the formation to squeeze in our third choice right back?
Just don't play Trent, he is being the scapegoat for England thus far.
@@William_Organ third choice? More like 1st or second, trippier is a LB now remember
Craig did chuck the toys out the pram when asked to play rightwing back , just like Gattuso,Don is right (yeah I know its rare but he is)
Great comment about viera in the midfield. You really have to be class against players like those
I bearly know anything about Football.. I just enjoy the game. However I’ll allow myself to say something about England that I know would lead to at least 80% better results: Be More Aggressive and stop looking so scared on the pitch.
Thanks for this podcast.
What is going on? Didn’t Alexander-Arnold play in midfield as a youth player?
What transition?? From just decent to average?
funny
Put Trent on the right and Saka on the left.
Southgate should be fired for picking Alexander at midfield. He's got slow feet . Brilliant when he's got time to dwel on the ball and pick a pass . Midfield is different
Has to drop Trent next game (would actually prefer him at RB over Walker but will never happen under Southgate) but Conor Gallagher isn’t any better and if anything will have less control in midfield, absolute bull in a china shop. Need to pull Jude into 8 and Foden at 10
Craig is full of 💩, can ESPN replace him already?
And Steve Nicol too.
“He doesn’t say nice things about my team take his job😡😡😡”
England are playing pedestrian football 😂
Please send Trent back to RB when England meets France or Spain
Who cares? Wife Walker will become Kyle Toddler in front of Mbappe and Nico Williams
What makes you think that TAA will do better in that position defensively, against those wingers you mentioned, if Kyle Walker is the one that has the pace and is a better defender generally against wingers?
Kante was a finish product for Chelsea
Overrated Dani Alves wannabe
🧐He doesn’t even match up to a Dani Alves that’s how bad he is. He’s so bad that he can’t even be considered a wannabe Dani Alves.😂
Trent cant defend HOW DO YOU PLAY HIM AS A DM?
Facts👏🏼.
Cause Southgate is incompetent. He did fine as an 8. He should play RB. But it’s totally unfair to then all of a sudden say oh remember what we did in the warm up games and have been working on for ages? JK. You’re a DM now. Not even every proper midfielder can play DM properly.
Who ever gave him the 8 shirt must get fired
Whoever keeps picking foden to start should retire.
@@mannyyard9882 Cause it's foden's fault southgate is misusing him? He played better than most of the english players yesterday.
@@nathanielmoore5913 Totally. Southgate has a string that he uses to control foden on the field.
Arite
I play DM
England have TAA and foden most overrated players both need special position to play football that position requirement is no hard work and others need to work hard for them and in national team no one will do that for manager,
Oh please enough with this overhyping of this guy.. He's nothing but a failed right back who just spam crosses
😂True.
England will win with Connor Gallagher Chelsea, not some loserfool player 😂😂
Do no longer consider TAA a Right Back defender, he is more of a midfielder and right wing back.
He wants to go back to being a RB, because he's one of the worst midfielders I've ever seen.
@@William_Organ

Stones play as dmf.
Trent play as lb or rb, replacing Walker

How southgate has stuffed that on his face 😅
England mediocre team
France needs coach Raymond Domenech to inject some life into the French Team; his astrological study prior to games paid brilliant dividends.

It's a big problem for England of they become second in the group.
