@@WattzArtist like groundhog day.... Great move that too, get on it young uns. It's a better use of your time than trying to figure out why England turn to lettuce at major tournaments.
I’m 56, heard the same stuff since the 70s, we’ve won one trophy in over 100 years yet the delusional press and public still think we should be winning tournaments. Players aren’t good enough, managers have all been mediocre. We are a tier 2 footballing nation with delusions of grandeur. That’s England.
This is why I'd have taken Maddison over Warton, yes we have good attacking players but he gives you something different and as a Leicester fan I can say he's at his best dragging a team over the line.
@steamwallet52 yes on the toilet paper he is, for the ignorant masses. Man U knows best who actually pick their team and it ain't the manager duh, just ask Mourinho :)
The only change is Southgate needs to go. - no clear patterns of play - no passion - no positional awareness - no balance - no Plan B ( or A ) - doesnt know how to develop attacking phases - players look scared to play forward This has happened since he became manager and he has gotten very lucky to get where he is with England. This needs to change or we will waste these players
Grealish Rashford Henderson do you know how important they could of been Henderson his experience we're missing in midfield grealish would of controlled won us fouls Rashford we need runners he offers that but U fans complain about it being favouritism
Spot on It’s why possession-pressing and positional play go hand in hand. Southgate is getting us to play possession football, with no positional play on or off the ball barring getting back to a low block which back fires against the style of play cos we do not press. You make life so much more difficult when defending in a low block and trying to score again off possession football. You’re better off going Ranieri Leicester 4-4-2 by counter attacking. You have to go back into two halves again with enough sequences to create a chance. Whereas a high line, with either a press/positional system allows you to win the ball back which then makes it easier to keep the ball by either starting again or exploiting space or passing to the spare man. Then you bring on a midfielder in Gallagher to press from a low block on Sunday? Whilst today I don’t know where to begin Tell me how this works?
Trent can't pick a pass if there aren't runners. Foden and Kane don't play that way. Sterling on the left would have been the best option but Gordon surely should get a lookin now, with Foden more central.
Exactly. Trent is used to playing with lively, quick forwards who are making runs and giving him an opportunity to cut a defence open.... not Harry Kane who seems to jog around and spend half his game in midfield.
Y do deluded England fans think trents going to be in the right position or get all day on the ball in MIDFIELD to pick a pass. He can pick a pass in his right position =full back. He's awful as a midfielder
@@vesper4199 he played in midfield but in pivot position, of course he's poor, the style of play that he's excellent at is to carry the ball forward like a 10 or 8, like KDB, these two games i can see him just stand there at that one position being a pivot and a long passer nothing else, and i bet my money southgate is the one instruct him to do that, look at when he goes forward with the ball minutes before he was taken off, all the momentum just shifted there
Have you seen the state of Germany? Believe me their roads and cities are worse than in the UK, this is coming from someone that lived there and loves the place!!
I've said this for months. Trent isn't an England football player . He cannot defend he's not better than any midfielder at England and isn't a winger . He can pass ! Really that's what a modern footballer is ? Someone who can pass ? ✌️🏴
Absolutely stupid 🤯 idea playing Trent AA in midfield . Mainoo and Wharton are ball playing midfielders better than Trent in a position he doesn’t play .
Ian Wright is such a brilliant analyst. I have been saying the same thing on Trent since the beginning of the tournament. What's the essence of having trent in midfield when there's no movement to exploit his passing strengths!
Bro Trent CANNOT play centre midfield , this isn’t ultimate team on fifa where you can put any player in any position. Playing RB and playing CM are two way too different positions. He’s became world class playing RB cause he has the whole picture in front of him and his range of passing is elite. He can’t play CM cause he doesn’t scan, he’s not aware enough which is why he got caught in possession in both games.
@longlive_lando1361 defending and attacking when the whole right hand side of your body is out of bounds is so much easier than the center of the park.
He's got no place being in CM for me ...Didn't make a single tackle in CM! He's a quality player who's not the greatest defender, play him at RB protect him and have some movement up front.
The statement that said it all was Southgate saying “we don’t have a natural replacement for Calvin Phillips”. The best comedy writers couldn’t have come up with that line, outstanding. Get out Gareth
I couldn’t believe my ears. What an admission from him. He’s got a midfield and forward line of absolute quality and he wants a Kalvin Phillips clone. Unbelievable!

This! Southgate playing his favs, under utilising and not giving opportunity to others. Then panic stations come tournament time. No left hand side with trippier, unable to use his left foot and foden moving into the centre,
England's dirty little secret is that it's now just TWO wins in the last SEVEN games. The form has been iffy for a while now. This is why Southgate is fishing for answers.
"we believed England would do well and have lot of possession" speaking for yourself there fella. I've been watching England since 96, and this seems pretty standard to me.
@@Freethinkingtheist77 no idea tbf. You could argue the only thing that's been as consistent as our mediocrity, is the expectations. Maybe folks always just think we should be better than we are. It's possible, but realistically, I couldn't tell you. All I know is I remember every tournament from 96, and my prediction for the euros this time was that we'd struggle to get out of the group, play nervously, and do anything but win. I've seen all the formations, all the players, all the managers and when it comes to it, we play like the same 11 players every time. Nervous, a bit panicky, rushing simple things, bottling ambitious things, endlessly frustrating and ultimately disappointing.
Yep. We always think we're better than we actually are. Our record in World Cups and the Euros speaks for itself. Only one win...1966. And that was a home world cup. Anything since? Zilch. Zero. Nada. Nil. Nothing. And don't ever forget that every team wants to beat England. EVERY TEAM.
In Trents defence, hes used to playing with 3 lively forwards who are quick, and constantly on the move giving him options to break the defence. Now he has Harry Kane who doesnt sprint anywhere and spends half the game dropping back into midfield. There's no options whatsoever.
Problem is bigger than Southgate I’m afraid. Just before he got the job, the FA went and hand-picked Sam Allardyce with his brand of football for the national team. If these are the people in charge, England are beyond hopeless.
The issue is not playing Trent or Foden out of position but the structure of the team, which determines how they keep possession, press, recover, attack & defend. When you’re not compact players get isolated and they easily lose possession. They need to play as a unit.
Change of players is not the first step but a change of structure/shape of the team in their mode of operation. They must press together, keep possession together, attack together and defend together. When you establish this mentality you can pick any player from the group.
1. Palmer doesn't get a run out because Saka has been fine. 2. Rice is better than Mainoo in his position, it's just that Rice is being played out of position. 3. Would love to see Wharton start as he actually is the only player in the entire squad that has the profile of a modern defensive midfielder In short, we're playing half of the starting XI out of position and we wonder why there's no chemistry. I doubt whether there's enough time to work that mistake back now with the players we have
Mums life rice and Bellingham wtf are they doing . No team playing at all no covering . If your that good all you should have to do is defend and attack as units . Bellingham walking around like he’s made it already mothers not good sign . He’s unreal tho I know
@DLPB-ck7mj 1990 and 1996 teams were not great, especially compared to the teams around them…90 squad only had Lineker, Barnes, Gazza….and then 96 just had a bunch of overrated primadonnas…
One simple question to Southgate that's never asked must be: "In the 7 years in charge of this England team have you ever practised set patterns to move the ball from defence into midfield and then into attack? Cos I haven't seen any fucking evidence of it whatsoever!"
You obviously forgot that Gareth Southgate, the absolute beast that he is, had the heart, skill and talent (or lack of), to miss a penalty in the Euro 96 semi-final.... What more can you ask of an England manager??? He probably just needs another tournament or two and he'll come good!
@@fearlessjoebanzai You've lost the plot mate, we need him gone, not provide him with two more opportunities 😂😂 England has the best attacking team in the world and yet a manager who plays too defensively and lacks the knowledge to exploit it.

They way they are defending this man shows how deep in denial they are I mean Southgate sucks idk how you have the quality of players England has and cannot obliterate a team like Serbia? A bottom of the barrel eastern european team lol I mean they should have won that game 5-0 this is embarassing
Alot of talk about England being poor but little about how disciplined the Danes were in *their* pressing and defensive lines. They were in our faces off the ball AND kept tight enough between midfield and defense that meant there was so little space for us to play. Little talk about how flubbing awful the pitch was too, we're lucky we've not lost several to ankle injuries.
Play Bellingham with Rice in the middle, Foden as a 10 and Gordon as a left wing. It’s not that complicated. He’s playing without natural left back and natural left wing.
Exactly and Bellingham cannot play as a 10 when there’s an actual striker in front of him. It just does not work, he gets in the way too much and it effects players next to him like Harry Wank Kane and Foden
True this!!!!Bellingham is a box to box no8. Period!!Last season was a fluke courtesy of having no proper striker. He will never produce those numbers again. He now thinks he is Messi or Ronaldo which isnt good for the team. Put him back to his best position (8). @tomtomtombossa I completely agree with you
England has team full of Premier league players, but is managed by a League One manager. Atleast it shows people the importance getting a good manager.
England have had world class players for 30 years, and world-class managers, and this still keeps happening. At a certain point, the players need to step up.
England's problem are way deeper than that coz its hierarchy (the FA) is amateurish at best. Their main concern is how much revenue they can generate or how politically correct they are....
this is the best bit of analysis Neville has done in a long time. Solution to not having ballers in midfield that can dictate the game... play fast wingers, play in behind, play in the opposing half, win the ball high. and shift TAA to right back and drop Walker. If Shaw isn't fit, play Sakha at left wing back. Play like Liverpool did in 2019 with Hendo, Ginnie and Fabinho in midfield. We can replicate that with Rice, Mainoo, Bellinghham. Its so obvious.
@@kukunase1686 it's the players - like they forget what they're supposed to be doing as soon as they feel some pressure. Maybe we need a huge manager that's won everything in order to instil some belief in the squad. We also have no leader to get in everyone's ears to keep discipline - that's why Henderson was important
Here after watching Spain v. Italy and the difference in the style, tempo, and tactics in that match was LEAGUES AHEAD of England's performances so far.
Yeah as an azzurri fan that spain game was hard to watch but at least we defended well and had our moments in the last 15 minutes. Has england ever had a world class manager?
Watching any of the big teams play worries me, if we come up against Germany, France, Spain or even Portugal we are going to get completely embarrassed
Wright said Southgate must be utd manager as he wears a suit well. They would never criticize wastgate. They abuse Ten Hag but would never pick on Southgate 😂😂😂😂
John- Imagine being such a sensitive snowflake that an innocent comment abt football leads to this response. Can’t take a bit of banter. The country that produced the hero’s of ww2 is made up of folks like John who can’t take a joke
Exactly Nigel. This is why 4 at back is terrible for England. 4231 is such terrible formation for England players. The middle is so flat. This needs be think about this. A 3-4-3 with Walker in the 3 and Trent or Bowen on right. You get the 2 midfielders. Foden or Gordon can go left on the 4 or Anyone really. That 343 can be flat or a diamond. Obviously 3 Bellingham, Kane and Saka.
Yeah he needs runners in the centre and on the left. Kane never breaks out of a light jog and Foden is not a winger. If he plays Trent, he needs to play Gordon and Watkins/Toney, otherwise he is useless. Mainoo would be much better in there.
Some good comments here. Also why isn't Watkins considered to come on for the left channel (narrower and closer to the cf more than wing). Tempo needs urgency and 1 touch passing at times and the passers need to be told to play in those spinning n running because they are often ignored so play them in unless they become a decoy as u have spotted an even better option. .. also to the runners complete your runs and pull the defenders around the pitch! FFS!
This whole issue with Trent, is i believe logically due to Trent playing most of his professional career, as a fullback, this whole midfielder thing is new to him. Hence why he is not a natural fit for this position, and unfortuneately this shows on the pitch, imho Jack Grealish is a more natural fit and they are playing primarily as a LM or LW now.....but it's not just a Trent thing, England's biggest fear every tournament is not playing too high for fear of the ball played in behind them, therefore the defensive line will drop back, contrast this with Pep Guardiola, who want's his teams to press to force the other team to play the ball long, occasionaly a perfect pass will bypass their entire team and they concede, however they will create much much more than most of their opposition, this has always been my nation Spain's phillosophy for decades and guesss what we have consistently conceded these kind's of goals the key is not to fear this which will happen every so often. , but England's "Answer" to this, is prevention, which basicallay amounts to the back line dropping deeper, and obviously you cannot have it both ways.. well that's my opinion as a LFC fan btw
I agree but after the game Southgate said, “we can’t find a replacement for Kalvin Philips” so that says to me, we’re absolutely screwed as he can’t get over it
@@LittleWing-35 In 40 time we will all be reminiscing about Phillips. I don't think we will ever get over not having a generational talent like that ever again
He won't because he has no international experience. Southgate just brought him to make him look like he's being progressive by bringing youth but he's never going to play them.
Tbh we had a pretty shitty team at the 2016 Euros but 2010 WC is a great comparison. Feels like this is now or never with this team, with the other major nations like Spain and Germany being back on the rise.
2016 was especially smelly. So smelly it made me ambivalent towards the national team and i used to watch every game they played. Right now its definately not being helped by southgates poor decision making but the players shouldnt escape criticism. We still lack composure both individually and as a team. England are the frank bruno of international football..on their day give anyone a test but ultimately fold when the pressure is on at the highest level
Exactly what I was thinking. It feels like limping through the group in 2010.. if I remember right our first game was Algeria? But yeah back then we was waiting for something to click in each game.. but it doesn't happen, this is only gona end one way unfortunately 😕
He's been ridiculed for that statement but it actually makes sense and ties in with what Neville says in this clip. All great midfields need a passer - a player who can take the ball on the half turn in tight positions and recycle it. Rice is more box to box and Bellingham is being used as a playmaker, so the third man in there has to be able to pass. Kalvin Phillips when he was as his peak under Bielsa did that job for England. TAA isn't doing it in there - he's learning on the job. If we can't recycle the ball in midfield we can't control the tempo of the match and we can't build up through the lines.
Neville’s take on rice is so wrong. Rice’s progressive abilities were never an issue for Arsenal but apparently they are at England? Then the issue is clearly the team and not the player. Nobody asks Kante to supply passes like Toni Kroos. France paired him with Pogba & Chelsea paired him with Jorginho. This tournament kroos has been paired with andrich, a true ball winner, and at Madrid he had Casemiro. But because Rice is taller, bigger and can play at the base of midfield all by himself, people feel he should have that responsibility, too. The curse of talent.
Can’t wait for us to get a new manager and have the exact same problems. He’s not a great manager, but these aren’t a great set of players either (with regards to how they play as a team). It’s a failure
@@Fredders88 Sam Allardyce is England's most successful Manager if you need to talk Bollocks. Southgate is anti-England. If England do win the Euro's it will be despite Southgate not because of him.
The fact that Southgate was named the England manager in the first place was a disgrace. He was an abysmal coach who did nothing to warrant that position. That squad of players can and should have won a World Cup and a Euros. End of story
He's a failed Championship manager who nobody wanted after the Middlesbrough relegation. What are his credentials to then be selected as England Manager?
England has always the same problem. Always wanting to put the most expensive players on the pitch no matter what their best position is. Foden, the best player for England out of position. No Real no8 that can control the midfield. Left Full back with the right foot just to let again the most expensive player play. The same with the previous golden Generation.
Bro it's like watching the Springboks play rugby under HEINEKEN Meyer, painfull to watch, Southgate is now being exposed , has been since he started , but now at its worst, so many good players looking average..those players perform at their clubs
I remember what my late dad once told a young me when I was getting excited about England in the 98 world Cup, he said you'll never see england win anything in your lifetime I'm afraid son. 26 years later and he's still spot on.
Neville is as clueless as Southgate he's obviously never heard of Alf Ramsay only 58 yr ago Terry Venables Bobby Robson Glen hoddle Southgate is the worst we've had
Didn't you watch the interviews after the game? Every England player that was asked if Southgate told them to park the bus after they they score, said no.
@@BobBobOnRUclipsThe chavs and the racists will hear what they want. We need to shut them up and appoint Gazza and Joey Barton in tandem. The Reform voters choice.
Most of the ex pros are mates with him or don't want to lose favour with the FA so they've been looking the other way since his appointment.....he's the definition of a one-dimensional man and that's not virtue when it comes to managing at the highest level.
I think because of the results he has got comparatively and the culture he's created. I think they honestly fear that if he's not there we might regresss further if we had a donkey like Sam Alladyce for example. Who's gonna replace him when he goes? Unfortunately Bobby Robson or Terry Vegetables are no longer around!
It was at a time where we had players unknown at international level and a slim roster of managers. Southgate did a fantastic job at bringing the team together with strong spirit and over performed (with some luck on the way). Fast forward to now and we have some of the best talent on offer, Southgate is tactically inept. I think it’s larger than Southgate and there being influenced by statistics.
I wish a pundit had the bottle to call out Southgate, he has no clue how to change it, at 90 minutes he was directing space that no one was in. Southgate had to drop TAA and put Bellingham in midfield, to push Gordon on the left to spread the play and create space in the middle for the creative players
Linekar did on the BBC and his podcast with Micah Richards. And he called Harry Kane out like Ian Wright has. He said he was basically lazy in his movement. Rio too said as a defender, he wouldn’t care about Kane or what he was doing because he was just pottering around.
Pep is a world class coach. Southgate was thrown out of Middlesbrough! Yes he could do A LOT better but he couldn’t change the fact that a lot of these players aren’t as good as they and a lot of pundits think they are
Im a danish fan, the danish wingbacks are often our best weapon going forward, so starting Foden made absolutely no sense. It basically means you allow one of the wingbacks to focus on attacking and get forward more. Maybe there was an idea behind it, i just couldnt see it
Here's an idea, play your best players in their club positions and play left footed players on the left. Its not difficult! Also add a bit of positive energy.
for almost 9 years southgate has been saying, we learned something from that. He is shocking as a manager, he instills fear and doubt into his own side...manages like he played.
@@eelrod2818 and now we have one of the best teams and play like shit. We played better under Eriksson, Venables at 96, Sir Bobby, even Glen Hoddle. We've only got far with Southgate because we've had good players in most positions.
Look how the Spain played tonight against Italy? The idea and the ability to execute it was remarkable, the manager knows the team and the players know the tactics and what to do. England don't have that, the players don't have chemistry and the tactics and player selections are just experimental. I'm not Spanish but at least until now, they've been the best team so far, destroying Croatia 3-0 and really should have done Italy the same.
He’ll be coming home pretty quickly by the looks of it. Getting outplayed by Denmark and struggling against Serbia.. we’ll struggle in first knockout stage
Watching players tell each other to calm down, when the other team is emotionally needing to win more and therefore faster more on edge , tells you everything But they got away with it , even with Slovenia and Denmark winning its 4 points, they are through already
Yup. And so many times we could pass it to Saka.. when he was in space, with only 1 man on him, and they pass it backwards instead.. as if they think they are going to get an opening, they’ve clearly been told to keep passing it backwards until an opening appears.. by magic.. but they have idea how to create sh opening. So give it to Saka.. he will then dribble and create an opening. It’s not a hard game plan. We aren’t creating openings wish passing interplay.
I feel for Cole Palmer and Gordon. They should be lighting up this tournament but haven’t even been given a sniff. And Watkins has to start, Kane is too busy playing CDM. Shambolic.
Can’t believe everyone blames Kane. It’s Gareth telling him to do that and exposing him by leaving no one to actually link up with Kane. Southgate manages to also ruin one of the best strikers in world football.
Southgate is probably sitting in his hotel room with a glass of water and a rich tea biscuit contemplating if he should wear a knitted cardigan or a waistcoat against Slovenia.
Nearly every time England plays in a competition the fans are on edge because the team under Southgate seem nervous and lack aggression.You don’t win games by possession alone you need the ball in the box and score goals.Southgate talks about bravery but he is too negative.We have world class players underperforming so things needs change you have players like Palmer and Gordon who will go at it,give them a chance.

Spot on
It’s why possession-pressing and positional play go hand in hand.
Southgate is getting us to play possession football, with no positional play on or off the ball barring getting back to a low block which back fires against the style of play cos we do not press.
You make life so much more difficult when defending in a low block and trying to score again off possession football. You’re better off going Ranieri Leicester 4-4-2 by counter attacking. You have to go back into two halves again with enough sequences to create a chance. Whereas a high line, with either a press/positional system allows you to win the ball back which then makes it easier to keep the ball by either starting again or exploiting space or passing to the spare man.
Then you bring on a midfielder in Gallagher to press from a low block on Sunday? Whilst today I don’t know where to begin
Tell me how this works?
@JC-hn3ws well said as soon as we score we try to defend and see the game out we never play on the front foot
Southgate plays Trent for his passing abilities but then plays a system where the forwards constantly come short to receive the ball 🤯
Trent can't pick a pass if there aren't runners. Foden and Kane don't play that way. Sterling on the left would have been the best option but Gordon surely should get a lookin now, with Foden more central.
Exactly. Trent is used to playing with lively, quick forwards who are making runs and giving him an opportunity to cut a defence open.... not Harry Kane who seems to jog around and spend half his game in midfield.

Trent's just the scapegoat Southgate is fuckin terrible
No no. Everyone knows England and their "superstars" are being humbled. Trent regardless is no midfielder. Nothing to do with a scapegoat
He’s one of a few actual world class players. The rest are trash
I've said this for months. Trent isn't an England football player . He cannot defend he's not better than any midfielder at England and isn't a winger . He can pass ! Really that's what a modern footballer is ? Someone who can pass ? ✌️🏴
Absolutely stupid 🤯 idea playing Trent AA in midfield . Mainoo and Wharton are ball playing midfielders better than Trent in a position he doesn’t play .
No Trent is terrible, or should we call him by his surname ‘Arnold’
Ian Wright is such a brilliant analyst. I have been saying the same thing on Trent since the beginning of the tournament. What's the essence of having trent in midfield when there's no movement to exploit his passing strengths!
Way better than neville, Wright comes with insight, neville comes with hot takes and waffle
You have pretty much explained the difference 😂
Bro Trent CANNOT play centre midfield , this isn’t ultimate team on fifa where you can put any player in any position. Playing RB and playing CM are two way too different positions. He’s became world class playing RB cause he has the whole picture in front of him and his range of passing is elite. He can’t play CM cause he doesn’t scan, he’s not aware enough which is why he got caught in possession in both games.
@longlive_lando1361 defending and attacking when the whole right hand side of your body is out of bounds is so much easier than the center of the park.
He's got no place being in CM for me ...Didn't make a single tackle in CM! He's a quality player who's not the greatest defender, play him at RB protect him and have some movement up front.

"we believed England would do well and have lot of possession" speaking for yourself there fella. I've been watching England since 96, and this seems pretty standard to me.
I agree, but the players and coaches today are all different to 96. So where does this consistent mediocrity come from?
@@Freethinkingtheist77 no idea tbf. You could argue the only thing that's been as consistent as our mediocrity, is the expectations. Maybe folks always just think we should be better than we are. It's possible, but realistically, I couldn't tell you. All I know is I remember every tournament from 96, and my prediction for the euros this time was that we'd struggle to get out of the group, play nervously, and do anything but win. I've seen all the formations, all the players, all the managers and when it comes to it, we play like the same 11 players every time. Nervous, a bit panicky, rushing simple things, bottling ambitious things, endlessly frustrating and ultimately disappointing.
Yep. We always think we're better than we actually are. Our record in World Cups and the Euros speaks for itself. Only one win...1966. And that was a home world cup. Anything since? Zilch. Zero. Nada. Nil. Nothing. And don't ever forget that every team wants to beat England. EVERY TEAM.
last two tournaments we've been decent in possession. at least until we play someone halfway decent.
Yes!! Sven was different
In Trents defence, hes used to playing with 3 lively forwards who are quick, and constantly on the move giving him options to break the defence. Now he has Harry Kane who doesnt sprint anywhere and spends half the game dropping back into midfield. There's no options whatsoever.
100%! That was Ian Wright's point.

@@hereTopree spot on this
@@hereTopreeyea at this point how are you supposed to trust the guys who appointed southgate and kept him on this long to replace him well
The issue is not playing Trent or Foden out of position but the structure of the team, which determines how they keep possession, press, recover, attack & defend. When you’re not compact players get isolated and they easily lose possession. They need to play as a unit.
Change of players is not the first step but a change of structure/shape of the team in their mode of operation. They must press together, keep possession together, attack together and defend together. When you establish this mentality you can pick any player from the group.
Why doesn’t Palmer get run out? Wharton and Maino are much better in the middle than Trent.
Ppl complain about Trent but rice and Bellingham were worse
Trent isn't a midfielder ❌ Period 😴
Because Southgate is tactically inept
1. Palmer doesn't get a run out because Saka has been fine.
2. Rice is better than Mainoo in his position, it's just that Rice is being played out of position.
3. Would love to see Wharton start as he actually is the only player in the entire squad that has the profile of a modern defensive midfielder
In short, we're playing half of the starting XI out of position and we wonder why there's no chemistry. I doubt whether there's enough time to work that mistake back now with the players we have
Mums life rice and Bellingham wtf are they doing . No team playing at all no covering . If your that good all you should have to do is defend and attack as units . Bellingham walking around like he’s made it already mothers not good sign . He’s unreal tho I know

One simple question to Southgate that's never asked must be: "In the 7 years in charge of this England team have you ever practised set patterns to move the ball from defence into midfield and then into attack? Cos I haven't seen any fucking evidence of it whatsoever!"
It's evident that they won't win anything again... Watching Germany is rewarding looking it how they move the ball due to the coach that they have
You obviously forgot that Gareth Southgate, the absolute beast that he is, had the heart, skill and talent (or lack of), to miss a penalty in the Euro 96 semi-final.... What more can you ask of an England manager???

Solution to not having ballers in midfield that can dictate the game... play fast wingers, play in behind, play in the opposing half, win the ball high. and shift TAA to right back and drop Walker. If Shaw isn't fit, play Sakha at left wing back.
Play like Liverpool did in 2019 with Hendo, Ginnie and Fabinho in midfield. We can replicate that with Rice, Mainoo, Bellinghham.

Yeah he needs runners in the centre and on the left. Kane never breaks out of a light jog and Foden is not a winger. If he plays Trent, he needs to play Gordon and Watkins/Toney, otherwise he is useless. Mainoo would be much better in there.
@@101RadioheadCovers exactly
Wold of been good to see him and Watkins on at the same time
Some good comments here. Also why isn't Watkins considered to come on for the left channel (narrower and closer to the cf more than wing). Tempo needs urgency and 1 touch passing at times and the passers need to be told to play in those spinning n running because they are often ignored so play them in unless they become a decoy as u have spotted an even better option. .. also to the runners complete your runs and pull the defenders around the pitch! FFS!
This whole issue with Trent, is i believe logically due to Trent playing most of his professional career, as a fullback, this whole midfielder thing is new to him. Hence why he is not a natural fit for this position, and unfortuneately this shows on the pitch, imho Jack Grealish is a more natural fit and they are playing primarily as a LM or LW now.....but it's not just a Trent thing, England's biggest fear every tournament is not playing too high for fear of the ball played in behind them, therefore the defensive line will drop back, contrast this with Pep Guardiola, who want's his teams to press to force the other team to play the ball long, occasionaly a perfect pass will bypass their entire team and they concede, however they will create much much more than most of their opposition, this has always been my nation Spain's phillosophy for decades and guesss what we have consistently conceded these kind's of goals the key is not to fear this which will happen every so often. , but England's "Answer" to this, is prevention, which basicallay amounts to the back line dropping deeper, and obviously you cannot have it both ways.. well that's my opinion as a LFC fan btw
The post match analysis is always the highlight when England play.
They are missing player like Henderson in that mid. One who can cover up the full backs and at the same time keep the ball ticking. Fearless tackling.
That player is Jude.
The player they are missing is Wharton. He receives the ball with his back to play and advances it very quickly which is exactly what we need.
Yes. And in behind....which happened ONCE late on with Watkins.

Southgate quote ' we don't have a natural replacement for Kalvin Phillips' as a WHU supporter that says it all.....
😅
He's been ridiculed for that statement but it actually makes sense and ties in with what Neville says in this clip. All great midfields need a passer - a player who can take the ball on the half turn in tight positions and recycle it. Rice is more box to box and Bellingham is being used as a playmaker, so the third man in there has to be able to pass. Kalvin Phillips when he was as his peak under Bielsa did that job for England. TAA isn't doing it in there - he's learning on the job. If we can't recycle the ball in midfield we can't control the tempo of the match and we can't build up through the lines.
@@ravecrab kobbie mainoo is right there.

Neville’s take on rice is so wrong. Rice’s progressive abilities were never an issue for Arsenal but apparently they are at England? Then the issue is clearly the team and not the player.
Nobody asks Kante to supply passes like Toni Kroos. France paired him with Pogba & Chelsea paired him with Jorginho.
This tournament kroos has been paired with andrich, a true ball winner, and at Madrid he had Casemiro.
But because Rice is taller, bigger and can play at the base of midfield all by himself, people feel he should have that responsibility, too.

The fact that Southgate was named the England manager in the first place was a disgrace. He was an abysmal coach who did nothing to warrant that position. That squad of players can and should have won a World Cup and a Euros. End of story
Yeah he should’ve gone after the last tournament.
Nah we got to final . Top players can be jaded so it dont matter that we got kane and bellingham and foden and all that
Amen. A dog shit player and an even bigger dog shit manager. Facts
He was a mediocre player and a manager he got boro relegate how he landed the England job is a mystery
He's a failed Championship manager who nobody wanted after the Middlesbrough relegation. What are his credentials to then be selected as England Manager?
England has always the same problem. Always wanting to put the most expensive players on the pitch no matter what their best position is. Foden, the best player for England out of position. No Real no8 that can control the midfield. Left Full back with the right foot just to let again the most expensive player play. The same with the previous golden Generation.
Good old England, the England we love. Is coming home (the team not the trophy)
Cole Palmer Zero Minutes 😂😂😂😂
ridiculous tbh....even though i do have issues with his work ethic, he's more Berbatov than Gerrard, iykwim
@@josneira1827Cole Palmer our most intelligent, ruthless pressing player at Chelsea, what on earth are you talking about
That lad should be playing. End of story. From a utd fan.
Get him on ffs
Bro it's like watching the Springboks play rugby under HEINEKEN Meyer, painfull to watch, Southgate is now being exposed , has been since he started , but now at its worst, so many good players looking average..those players perform at their clubs
palmer isn't even getting a single minute is crazy
Where will he play?
@@masterchief1520literally anywhere forward, he’s that good
@Mikejames1080bell end
Southgate is genius 😀😀he can do anything
Palmer is more creative than the front three england have at the moment. Southgate is a shitty coach. Anyway rest Cole the season awaits.
I remember what my late dad once told a young me when I was getting excited about England in the 98 world Cup, he said you'll never see england win anything in your lifetime I'm afraid son. 26 years later and he's still spot on.
Either that or someone has a contract on you, LOL.
I promise you... Pep, Ancelotti, Klopp, and Mourinho are all sitting, sharing a bottle of Merlot, and having a proper laugh.
Weird take
No they’re not
Yeah probably at the fact there blaming trent for not winning a game when all them managers would have him as a world beater😂
Barolo probably. But yeah
except mourinho
Neville said Yesterday that Southgate has been England's best manager over the last 70 years. Laughable.
Neville is as clueless as Southgate he's obviously never heard of Alf Ramsay only 58 yr ago Terry Venables Bobby Robson Glen hoddle Southgate is the worst we've had
I totally agree Southgate a yes man should have gone years ago,best manager in 70 years RUBBISH.
That's the problem when everyone only goes off stats and xg
Hoddle and Venables were much better and certainly Bobby Robson and Sven Goran Eriksen were a million times better
Easy to forget how shit we were before him. Remember 2010?
This is not about any individual player. This is about the system and the style of play demanded by Southgate!!
That left side is anonymous. He knows he's playing Trippier there so he needs someone who will hold the width. Fodan won't do that.
"we didn't press well enough" buddy you told em to park the bus, how the fuck where they gonna press?
It's everyone else but himself at fault according to Southgate
Didn't you watch the interviews after the game? Every England player that was asked if Southgate told them to park the bus after they they score, said no.
Didn’t press enough ,we didn’t press at all,but was probably because none of them seemed to be able to run
@@BobBobOnRUclipsThe chavs and the racists will hear what they want. We need to shut them up and appoint Gazza and Joey Barton in tandem. The Reform voters choice.
I really do hope that the players stand up and say we can’t continue like this. Something has to change.
England made Hojbjerg look like Matthäus
Maybe he is a good player, mavy denmark just was better ?
denmark are mid, we were shite
Better than mid good but yh England were trash
@@deadinthebed963 yeah no offence to denmark, theyre ok. But jeez we are awful...
@@gustav709England are mid
Overhyped every tournament
Favourite of not i been watching England since the early 90s and one thing i learnt about England is one way or another we always f*ck up
I'm beginning to believe more and more that British broadcasters have been given a mandate not to openly criticise Southgate.
The athletic journalist on the overlap praised him, because he gives them more access than previous managers. 😂
Most of the ex pros are mates with him or don't want to lose favour with the FA so they've been looking the other way since his appointment.....he's the definition of a one-dimensional man and that's not virtue when it comes to managing at the highest level.
I think because of the results he has got comparatively and the culture he's created. I think they honestly fear that if he's not there we might regresss further if we had a donkey like Sam Alladyce for example. Who's gonna replace him when he goes? Unfortunately Bobby Robson or Terry Vegetables are no longer around!
That’s how the Freemasons work.
That’s how Freemasons work.
What did the FA see in Southgate that was so remarkable. Am I missing something ?
They saw the only person who would take the job after the shambles of 2016....
Ticked appropriate boxes..?
Signalled his Virtue..?
He loves the blm and rainbow flag tripe
It was at a time where we had players unknown at international level and a slim roster of managers. Southgate did a fantastic job at bringing the team together with strong spirit and over performed (with some luck on the way). Fast forward to now and we have some of the best talent on offer, Southgate is tactically inept. I think it’s larger than Southgate and there being influenced by statistics.
He's a yes man boot licker.
I wish a pundit had the bottle to call out Southgate, he has no clue how to change it, at 90 minutes he was directing space that no one was in. Southgate had to drop TAA and put Bellingham in midfield, to push Gordon on the left to spread the play and create space in the middle for the creative players
Linekar did on the BBC and his podcast with Micah Richards. And he called Harry Kane out like Ian Wright has. He said he was basically lazy in his movement. Rio too said as a defender, he wouldn’t care about Kane or what he was doing because he was just pottering around.
I think you should be England manager you obviously know a lot about the game...!!!
@@bandraboy2008 thank you for the endorsement, means a lot that you can see the quality of my comments
Harry portter would have been s far better manager for england. At least he is attacking minded. And his teams play with intemsity.
Imagine pep with this squad
I was just thinking this. Would be better im sure!
@@senseofawemusic In fact they'd be better with almost any manager from the Prem or any other big series.
This squad lacks the technical level required to play like guardiola wants to play
Pep is a world class coach. Southgate was thrown out of Middlesbrough! Yes he could do A LOT better but he couldn’t change the fact that a lot of these players aren’t as good as they and a lot of pundits think they are
Imagine ANY competent Premier League level manger....😭
Im a danish fan, the danish wingbacks are often our best weapon going forward, so starting Foden made absolutely no sense. It basically means you allow one of the wingbacks to focus on attacking and get forward more. Maybe there was an idea behind it, i just couldnt see it
I saw that
It was like watching England v Iceland in 2016. Just so dire. Devoid of all energy and excitement.
Thought the same myself. Players couldn't even string a pass together. They lost all composure and looked nervous
Here's an idea, play your best players in their club positions and play left footed players on the left. Its not difficult! Also add a bit of positive energy.
for almost 9 years southgate has been saying, we learned something from that.
He is shocking as a manager, he instills fear and doubt into his own side...manages like he played.
He's drenched in fear and it contaminates every player he comes into contact with....he sets up as if he's facing prime Brazil every game.
It's been best 9 years England's had since 66
World Cup semis, Euro finals. Isn't it obvious?
@@eelrod2818 and now we have one of the best teams and play like shit. We played better under Eriksson, Venables at 96, Sir Bobby, even Glen Hoddle. We've only got far with Southgate because we've had good players in most positions.
@@jbri1 'we played better under Eriksson' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Southgate the type of guy to call his doctor before trying a new exercise
And then deciding it's too risky after the doctor says it's fine
- No passion
- No desire
- No real teamwork
- No vision
- No creativity
- No press
- No pride
- No leadership
- No management
- No clue
Abysmal.
Are you describing England, Serbia or Croatia. Fits on all 3
England
No diggidy
Sleep till Brooklyn?
England or United? 😂
same problem since when they screwed up Scholesy's position
Look how the Spain played tonight against Italy? The idea and the ability to execute it was remarkable, the manager knows the team and the players know the tactics and what to do.
England don't have that, the players don't have chemistry and the tactics and player selections are just experimental. I'm not Spanish but at least until now, they've been the best team so far, destroying Croatia 3-0 and really should have done Italy the same.
As it stands Spain tonight are on another level to England. ⚽
Southgate needs sending home
Southgate needs to come home for football to come home..deep I know
@@KingHill2015 I dig it 👌
@@KingHill2015i like it, its almost philisophical
Send him to Ukraine
He’ll be coming home pretty quickly by the looks of it. Getting outplayed by Denmark and struggling against Serbia.. we’ll struggle in first knockout stage
taking the lead and dropping deep has been the england gameplan for over 100 years
That can work if your defense is the wall of China 🤣
GIVE DENMARK SOME CREDIT! 🇩🇰 They played their absolut hearts out, lovely goal and lovely press high up the pitch ⚽️
Have to agree. They played more as a team & made England look ordinary, and really punished England’s mistakes.
@@johnferguson4869 made england look ordinary but only managed a draw agains an ordinary team. Cant have been that good
Watching players tell each other to calm down, when the other team is emotionally needing to win more and therefore faster more on edge , tells you everything
But they got away with it , even with Slovenia and Denmark winning its 4 points, they are through already
They could have easily closed the game if they didn't lack finishing but can clutch a banger goal 😂
If our team played with 10% of Denmark’s passion spirit and organisation it would be an improvement
Can’t believe Foden was subbed when he was the only player other than Saka that had any ambition to do anything with the ball.
He was playing left wing but was on the right side of the pitch the whole gamr
Yup. And so many times we could pass it to Saka.. when he was in space, with only 1 man on him, and they pass it backwards instead.. as if they think they are going to get an opening, they’ve clearly been told to keep passing it backwards until an opening appears.. by magic.. but they have idea how to create sh opening. So give it to Saka.. he will then dribble and create an opening. It’s not a hard game plan. We aren’t creating openings wish passing interplay.
Foden was shocking trent same kane same
What game were you watching
Not one of the players got over 4 out of 10....
I feel for Cole Palmer and Gordon. They should be lighting up this tournament but haven’t even been given a sniff. And Watkins has to start, Kane is too busy playing CDM. Shambolic.
Kane looks like his legs have gone like Bales did in the world cup . I think he s finished.
Kane needs speed beside him, he scored 49 goals in 52 games this season. Not bad for being finished.
Palmer, Gordon and Mainoo ALL deserve to play.
@@jondemoyne7253 it bounced kindly for him today . Other than that , nothing .
Can’t believe everyone blames Kane. It’s Gareth telling him to do that and exposing him by leaving no one to actually link up with Kane. Southgate manages to also ruin one of the best strikers in world football.
Southgate is probably sitting in his hotel room with a glass of water and a rich tea biscuit contemplating if he should wear a knitted cardigan or a waistcoat against Slovenia.
Too specific lmfao
Can't forget the umbrella mate😂😂😂
Nearly every time England plays in a competition the fans are on edge because the team under Southgate seem nervous and lack aggression.You don’t win games by possession alone you need the ball in the box and score goals.Southgate talks about bravery but he is too negative.We have world class players underperforming so things needs change you have players like Palmer and Gordon who will go at it,give them a chance.
Southgate is the sort of guy who turns the window wipers off when he drives under a bridge.
😂😂😂😂 well can’t have dem going over a dry windshield
You have to be 'pragmatic' in your use of windshield wipers
no. he’s the type to rear end someone and blame the person he just hit
