The irony of pundits getting butt hurt when criticised back though LOL
Gonna say something similar, alex got massively butt hurt for like a week because moyes said he should do the licence.
Then you've got the bbc crew still crying about being answered back at.
Never thought of it like that, quite right ahahah
Too right Crook is useless and shouldn’t be anywhere to the role he’s blagged with talk sport.
Brilliant isn’t it
@@carlspice4019 That's not true. Crook made one comment back about it the following day. Stop lying.
The vast majority of the criticism has been justified due to poor performances. Are the players really that out of touch with reality or just want to be seen to be backing Southgate ?
@@DavidMeikle-ei7fr foden literally said you have to expect criticism at this level and he has to block it out? What is wrong with that? None of these players or the manager have said anyone is wrong for their opinions but these media clowns and the fans cry everytime they open their mouth. The thin skinned are the media and the fans
@@davedavidson737that's why everyone hates England medias worst Toxic trash ever
i’m confused every player said everyone has their own opinion? Don’t seem like they’re thin skinned
I don’t get this. Foden wasn’t moaning. He was just saying he blocks out any outside criticism and noise.
Surely as players that’s what you have to do. If you let the criticism affect you even if it’s justified it can affect your confidence and game. I don’t think Foden was whiney or being too precious at all. Now a couple of the other England players have been in what they’ve said in a couple of post match interviews but Foden wasn’t here.
They don't have anything interesting to do so they jump all over everything.
United fans scum and control mediq
The thin skin of the journalist I think it is. Foden even said at the start that you have to know what to listen to etc etc, I dont think he even said that the opinions are invalid or valid, its just that he doesnt pay much mind to it.
You have to realise - its not just talk sport giving their opinions, its half the bleeding country - I think Alex Crook has an insane ego to think its all about him here.
This is exactly the problem, it's the same when Ten Hag fired back at Lineker and Keane they didn't like it. Theres no problem with constructive criticism but just criticism for the sake of it is pointless.
Gonna say alex crying about moyse for like a week because he told him he should do his licence 😂
If England players stopped whinging about fan's opinions on their piss poor performances and spent more time concentrating on improving their football...we'd have a better chance of a better performance!
Honestly, as long as it's not a group stage exit it should be celebrated as a win by English fans. They have not learned anything from Hodgson's tenure.
@@user-ok7pm4kf1ijust curious, as arm chair fans, should we stop celebrating then then as we know nothing about football?
Simple stop watching and they will change..Without Fans No Game simple really the problem is most Fans are simpltons 🥱
The interviews with the players during tournaments are completely pointless
@@user-ok7pm4kf1iso should everyone stop following football and allow only the players on the pitch
I don't think Alex Crook should have a role in the media.
I don't you should have a role in the comments
stop watching then
Never heard of the Cnut until today!
Come On England! 🏴
I don't get the hate for Alex Crook, personally. There are far worse muppets working for this network.
I love Alex crook honesty. I don't get the hate for him. I think he's great
We’re in the semi final so shut up pundits and let us enjoy the fact.
Aunty Faye 😂Simon is the goat man 😂he takes no bull lol
Looked like that bit was edited when Simon started talking about 'Aunty Faye' ?
Simon = top LAD proper clobber
She's the worst
Aunty Faye 🤣🤣
I have to say that these are the most unlikable squad of players I can remember. Bellingham has turned into an arrogant narcissist , Kane has a massive ego and Foden cant take an ounce of criticism without crying..... Don't get me started on Southgate.
No one likes us we don't care 😂
Looks like they are great representatives for the fans then.
This is biggest lies ever Jude foden Harry are all amazing people
@@IGouldenJude is amazing humble good person same like foden Harry medias and lying fans Toxic are problem
Booo hoooo fkn babies
For once, Alex crook was spot on here. This spoilt, arrogant, egotistical England squad have created this narrative that everyone is against them. And its pathetic,
Actually the “it’s us against the world mentality” might be a good thing for the England squad as Jose Mourinho instilled this exact mentality into the Chelsea players during his first spell there during the mid 2000s and look at what that meant they won and no one was moaning about it back then
@@jacksnowden5769That would make perfect sense if Southgate had anywhere near the tactical ability of Mourinho. But he doesn't, so it doesn't.
The fans are as arrogant as the players. Hodgson's era didn't humble them enough to learn to expect nothing at all from England.
@@heppolo What are you on about? Nobody has expected anything from England, there has been no optimism let alone arrogance.
@@heppolo I would say we're arrogant if we had terrible players who aren't playing for any top teams in their respective leagues. But it isn't arrogant when players in the England squad are playing alongside other world class players in world class teams.
Thin skin? They are in the semis, what is going on? 😂
What does being in the semis have to do with the players being thin-skinned?
@@FreshAlchemy they clearly ain't thin skinned if they are in the semis, the ones who love giving it but can't take it will be what I would call thin skinned, we don't wanna have a world were those who put in work are called soft but those who just talk are considered tough
Makes me laugh that people call them thin skinned but cry themselves when they fire back. Constructive criticism is one thing but generalised criticism is worthless.
Foden will be fine once puberty hits
Foden exposed all those cry babies trash 🗑️ disgusting medias and fans like you payed bots evil
Pathetic comment!
When I was a Apprentice I got shouted and balled if a made a mistake it did me no harm I know it's not football but it made me learn from my mistakes
Don’t get these comments, he didn’t moan once, quite the contrary. He was asked questions and answered by saying… we know we have to do better
@lukestorey343
And that’s why the media is increasingly a joke. Actually listen to what Foden said and then come back to what these pundits are saying. They are purposefully misconstruing his words and people fall for it again and again.
I think we'd be more willing to listen to Foden's opinions if he was actually playing well or producing anything on the pitch. I don't care about his opinions, he needs to do the business on the pitch and he has not been doing it so far this tournament. He needs to be dropped.
They are representing their country, it's not the other way round. If the England squad are underperforming then quite rightly the public will be critical. There is a fair argument to suggest that personal attacks cross the line on what is fair critism but that can't be an excuse to refute valid criticism. There is danger and in my opinion, what has become the state of play - that Southgate and the players have become tone-deaf to the public media to the extent they've become stubborn and arrogant to their faults. Unbelievably, we get the easier run-in and Southgate mistakes this for success when in reality we will get undone by better opposition.
Dont care if we win it cant stand the players arrogant
He was put on the spot and asked the question ffs. The media is the issue, finding negatives in every little thing they say. The team have dealt with it really well. The media is the issue
Foden should focus on his football
No you fans and medias need profesional help
He is you are the one who always crying Payed bots
@@naomidiamond1999 Why would bots need paying? You are very thick.
he literally just said that, while fans like you and pundits cry about it.
What a pathetic attack by Alex Crook. They wouldn't have made it to be playing for England if they were thin skinned.
The truth is, talksport have been one of the worst propagators of bullying and criticism of the staff and players, constantly moaning, picking, criticising, and encouraging others to do the same.
This doesn't support the team, it does the opposite. So thank you talksport and other media, and loads of fans, for creating an environment in which players feel that negative pressure.
It is about time it stopped.
Supportiing and backing the team, making them feel ten feet tall will get much better results than the opposite.
No team has the right to win every game, to play beautiful football, and we all know England have done very little of that for a long time.
We finally have a team which had sustained later involvement in tournaments, winning penalty shoot outs and more, and it's still not enough.
Please focus on the positives, and when discussing the negatives, keep things in perspective.
Everyone wins then
If youre unsure whether I'm right, think about the shouty parent watching the kids playing football, are they helping out is that fear causing the child to freeze?
United fan bro
@@user-kh6yw2wi1s Alex Crook is?
@@braddersfam1754 You're a sucker for the weak, victim mentality, aren't you. Just looking for an excuse to be weak and cry. Winners overcome adversity, not fold underneath it. Life is full of trials and tribulations, always has been, you cannot hide from it. Victimhood culture only breeds weak, fragile losers.
Yep and Simon Jordan and ray parlour absolutely rip aftv apart but they do the exact same thing minus the swearing but it’s ok because it’s them
Come on, you know you're not playing well. And they dont even look comfortable in what Southgate is asking from them.
The England football team, marching into Euro 2024 with the swagger of a corgi in a Buckingham Palace parade, has been turning heads and bending it like, well, themselves. With a semi-final spot clinched, they're not just sipping tea at halftime; they're brewing a storm on the field. The squad's performance has been a rollercoaster, much like the London Eye, offering both thrilling highs and dizzying lows. Harry Kane, the captain, has been the human embodiment of 'keep calm and carry on,' leading the team with the stoicism of a Beefeater guard. As they gear up for their next match, fans are hoping the team's play will be as smooth and satisfying as a well-made batch of fish and chips. With the nation's hopes riding on their shoulders, will they bring football home, or will it be another 'dear diary' moment?
Hardly thin skinned with those penalties. There is loads of negativity crooky. Don't try and say there isn't. You should know better. Beer and cups being thrown at them doesn't help either. If we got behind the team instead of constantly moaning about everything this would be a non issue. Jim they expect some encouragement. Save the criticism for when we get knocked out
Crooke looks angry like a man who missed out on the breakfast buffet
Let’s be fair we have been incredibly lucky to get to this point, other half of the group & we are probably home sitting in the rain like the rest of us.
Southgate is a bang bang average manager & no fan in the PL would want him as manager of their clubs.
Oh come on 😂 the media haven’t stopped complaining and giving out about Southgate and the players from the first second a ball was kicked. I’m not saying I disagree, but let’s not be stupid here it’s been constant from the media
Not different from any other nation with high expectations. While England is bitching about criticism, France says "don't like it? Don't watch it."
It's an attitude thing
@@GalvanizeOO7 high expectations and unrealistic expectations are entirely different things. Numerous times I saw and heard England win the euros or its failure. A competition England have never won by the way.
You can call it bitching all you want, but England and France have polar opposite cultures - how do you think it’d go down if Southgate said “don’t like it? Then don’t watch”. Yeah, that’d really alleviate pressure 👍
Its the same when David Moyes said Alex Crook should get a coaching license first before dishing out tactic and Crook reacted poorly to it. Same thin skinned Crook.
What did foden say that was wrong?... Stop trying to make up controversy!
He's glossed over how badly himself and the team have been playing and instead of accepting the valid criticism, he says he just ignores it.
Is there a media embargo on criticism of England- the way the media are talking about the Switzerland game you'd think we won 5-0
The criticism has calmed down because at the end of the day, England have progressed to the semi finals. It would be quite weird if there was nothing but criticism after England made it to the semis. It's a weird situation because we know we haven't been playing well but we still have not been beaten yet in the tournament.
@@FreshAlchemy it didn't stop the french 🤣
We want you to win first of all. I think England have the ability to do that through positive attacking football.
The English will not play a final Euro 2024, remember my text.
What's funny is they keep blaming English media and pundits for the criticism.. it's coming media and pundits worldwide and not just england.. if you play badly expect to be told so!
Sir Jordanite = Top LAD Proper Clobber 💯 Facts
Simon absolutely hates Faye 😂
stuart pearce is spot on
Cannot do anything right with these lot. When Bellingham and Kane initially made comments, it was “the players should say they will do better and not respond to criticism.” When Rice said “we have to just be better” it was robotic. Any sort of response is “touchy” lol
It's not the criticism. It's the magnifying of anything and everything to generate more content and more clicks. The media knows fine well what gets people to watch their videos so they can get the advertising revenue, with the result being a completely OTT and toxic environment around the England team that means England have to fight and win inspite of their own people instead of with and because of them. All I want is for England to be judged when their tournament is over. I couldn't care less if we perform badly for a while. Every team goes through that. Remember Klopp and Liverpool having a nightmare run? It's just football. Fact is, we are still in the tournament, and our role as supporters is to SUPPORT.
Alex crook - pathetic journalism adding no value just the same topic every single day 😴
Alex Crook does not set the topics of conversation at talkSPORT.
‘Ten hag mentality’ 🤣 how does Alex Crook keep getting work
Jesus c'mon White the guy was asked a direct question regards the criticism and he answered it. Dictating to Foden by saying "block it" afterwards is petty and highlights the media's bad influence on the game. Don't even get me started on Crook 😮
Stuart Pearce should be the next England manager. He has success with the U-21's.
I can't believe I'm agreeing with Alex
Alex Crook thinks he is God. Criticising players is fine. Criticising performances is fine. But he is speaking like he is a world-leading psychologist and when anyone offers a different opinion he cannot hide the look of annoyance, confusion, and disgust on his face.
Keane, Souness, Robson, Gerrard, Gazza types versus Stones, Rice, Bellingham, Kane, Foden, Saka types, no leaders, soft men, make you chuckle
and yet these "soft men" may be european champs a week from now.
hard men on other hand🤷♂ keane been holding grudge on ferguson for 20yrs 😅
@@dabu8701 You should add up all the trophies that first group have one compared to the second, its not even close.
The first group are a million times better than the new woke snowflakes
@@davidhorton188 they won fck all for country and in a week may differ for other group. And for clubs they’re not done. City players will eclipse Keane and robson, we’re not talking Ryan giggs no. Of titles here. Jude foden Stones same UCL as gerrard and Keane. Chances of Bayern City and Madrid winning are high. Ain’t done neither.
It’s only souness multiple European cup that’s tough to beat.
Gazza losing in semis and 😭 is considered great achievement. This lot do it not so much
@@davidhorton188 It's 66 trophies in the first group and 41 in the second group. By the end of their careers the second group will have won more trophies. Foden is already almost at the top of the list individually.
These players have now made me not like them because of their childish response to criticism
Faye's questions are top draw to Foden.
Hypocrites😂 Bellingham and Rice have bitten back and the media dont like it
4:19 wtf was that skip??...
Because he criticised aunty Faye
@@arranmelaugh5606 i guess so lol... but we wouldn have seen that, they wouldve cut that bit out
SLAM is the new CLASH
HEATED buzz words
Crook himself is thin skinned , he can't take any criticism he has to get Simon Jordon to stick up for him , this dude is worst reporter he contradicts himself on a regular basis
werent these the same lot that said ETH is arrogant for saying that 😂
Well the thin skinned players (some of them) are a result of the thin skinned manager, and the journalists are just as thin skinned.
Aunty Faye will hug them all and make them feel better.
I don’t think the players would want the opinion of people who has not played even a single professional game of football in their pathetic lives
How many games of professional football have you played in your pathetic life?
I didn't hear him say anything
Maybe just maybe people should realize that players are also human beings. Some of the criticisms are overboard. I am not sure players go out to delibrately put in a bad performance.
Talk sport is only interested in negative Talk and it doesn't help the England team. Talk about the positive things.
Not sure how Alex Cook gets such a large platform, he’s constantly negative about any subject he weighs in on. He has no relevant football experience to command any amount of respect from fellow pundits or players, doesn’t commentate on games and doesn’t seem to have an expert subject within the game… a waste of cash and a drain on TalkSPORT resources.
One of these pundits is quite dim
You have a right to have your opinions be heard, but not a right for your opinions to be listened to. With some of the garbage and tribal drivel I've heard come out of pundits' and fans' mouths recently, I'm honestly not surprised the players are closing themselves off from it.
And with the absolute drivel the players have delivered on the pitch, I'm not surprised its being met with criticism, either. Seems like a vicious cycle.
Crook knows less than nothing, never played the game but quick to critize. Suits is nickname Clueless Crook.
He's just answering the question to be fair,are talk sport thin skinned because they answered back a bit protecting each other.they don't seem that bothered but the media seem obsessed with it that they are upset and whinging. If they are upset they all seem very polite.
I don't think the players have done anything wrong...apart from play rubbish.
Foden needs dropping, tired of seeing him on the pitch for England. And no, they're not proving anyone wrong. I came into this tournament feeling positive about our chances but it's England's dismal performances which have left me feeling negative. We have scraped through against teams we should be beating. How have you proved people wrong in any way?
Faye is suffering from Stockholm syndrome, either that or she is basking in reflected glory
To be fair she can't be critical or she won't get the access to future interviews so it's easy for Jordan to mock her interview style when he has no skin in the game.
A journalist point of view or opinion is different to when and ex footballer has one. One is genuine and really want England to perform and the other just wants the headlines to sell papers
I’m with Simon Jordan. I want up to win but let of me wants them to lose because of their arrogant whining
22 men kicking a ball towards a net. It's entertainment when it's at its best. When it's dull it's not entertaining, simple as! All these analysts, media coverage etc OTT.
Talk sport is just as thin skinned.😂
what's that? talkSPORT trying to find reasons to put down the team still because the team dare to fight back against their critics? boring. find something else to talk about, we'll support the team in a semi-final. Thanks. Cheerio.
Foden sticks up for southgate but in the same breath says it’s nice to be playing down the middle… so you have been happy with southgate playing you out of position on the left?… I bet half of these players can’t stand the way the man plays and sets them up but they can’t say
Ur ready to go to a festival footy final
no player is gonna criticise gareth till hes gone . only southgate juse and kane have complained . foden was quite diplomatic .anthony gordon had the best attitude ..its up to us to play better and get the fans on our side . simple . what about jude though hes gone from humble to prima donna wtf
It’s the fans and the media who are thin skinned. Bunch of entitled babies who think it’s cool to endlessly moan about Southgate and the players.
Yes I just hate those medias and fans so shameless cry babies delusional
I don’t think ‘cool’ comes into it. The criticism is justified.
Trolling gets clicks.
Crazy edit
The fans or fanatics are just to be blamed. Some players like Saka or JB are measured by goals and assists. While others like Foden are measured by showing passion, running hard and dying for the badge. Go figure!
Foden 5 premier league and 1 champions league winner. SAKA a bottler 😂😂😂😂😂😂 . Get back in your lane BLM
Jude foden Trent are hated for no reason
Southgate out
Phil is a city player so he will be used to the way the media and talk sport behaviour, the way they have a agenda and lie
He didn't "Slam" anyone. Please stop it with the clickbait bullshit or I'm going to unsubcribe.
Alex Crook is boring, ps I only know his name from the title
First non bot comment. No picture of my bottom, sorry
Please provide one. Thank you
I know! It's alright for bots to do it. When I did, I got a night in the cells.
Don't cry Phil
Maybe grew steel don't snobbery winning the NG ugly when was last time a nation needed it more if win it resilient then Southgate is same as this moment hero semi final final semi final
Maybe they are getting a little annoyed with taking criticism from people like Alex who never was good enough himself to play that level. Foden was spot on what he was saying
Omfg, Kane literally whined about Gary Lineker's perfectly reasonably criticism... It has nothing to do with mouth it comes out of, the players are brats.

Exactly, absolute joke
@@AntSudbury-tv3weno its your fans crying disgusting trash who are problem
i think it will out eventually after hes gone that apart from a few teachers pets many players were not impressed by his tactics and set up .
Just constant negativity 🥱
Nonsense from Foden. They win in England despite the manager. The tactics and patterns of play are poor. Foden playing on the left to begin with was a poor decision and Southgate let it fester for multiple games. He has the best attacking set in the world and has them playing as if they have no quality. The fans can see it and so can the pundits. If the players don't then they are no better than Southgate.
Want all the credit but not criticism, that’s Southgate’s woke influence
The media are a joke 🤣🤣🤣
The most thin skinned are these clowns in the media
Exactly and promoting wokism has made them all soft.
I disagree with what he said we are more tactical they struggle to chain 5 passes together and hold the ball.
The media criticism and sense of entitlement is over the top. Whilst we have a good team of talented players, we are not entitled to realistically think that England will just rinse through Europe's best. It's competitive sport.
Are you really this obtuse? No one is expecting the team to roll over every opposition, but we expect them to have more than 2 effing shots on target against a team like Slovakia... Have you even watched the games? They literally create nothing but "moments". The team was literally one danish goal away from facing, Germany, Spain and France on the other side of the bracket because they played so poorly .
@@nihlify Yes, I have watched all of the games, and the only team that have been convincing so far is Spain. You seem angry. Perhaps become a more constructive person, rather than someone that verbally abuses strangers for their opinion.
I agree thin-skinned.
Players don’t think they are beyond criticism they just think it’s disproportionate which is a fair observation, it’s the likes of Crook who are thin skinned if anything
Block out the noise from criticism? Maybe try a little harder/like for your clubs and stop bloody moaning 😡
Not much noise? All the media have done is criticise them
I think they are talking about Social Media, it's not the traditional media.
The Players have said pretty much naff all apart from a couple of comments when asked. Truth is Simon Jordan and talksport have so little knowledge of football they just desperately try to created drama for views. The obnoxious drivel that comes out of Simon Jordan's mouth is almost as pointless as Gareth A Davis and his sycophantic boxing commentary.
