Euro 2024 Qualifiers

I'm a fan of Declan Rice, but he's been absolutely crap tonight.....so he takes off Europe's most in-form player 

[TJQuik]

We look worse now with the subs made

[trabuch]

Ukraine are coming into this (since the England subs)

who's recently scored 5 goals and 2 in the dying minutes.

There's a lack of creativity, currently.

Maddison was largely ineffective and was on a yellow so I can understand that sub. The Bellingham sub is a head scratcher though.

Safety first southgate is back; he knows a point is fine so done everything to stifle our creativity by not willing to take a risk against opposition that are far inferior 

[Tielemans63]

Rice and Henderson have been horrendous, they just slow everything down continuously.

[Dan LCFC]

Really think England have a chance of winning the Euros but this game is a further red flag on Southgate - still can't help but be overly cautious and this is against a side England are vastly superior to. It'll be more of the same in the summer.

[Sir Shep]

Ah man, imagine what a decent manager, sorry reasonably good league one level manager could do with this squad, oh one can dream. 

[Legend_in_blue]

This has been a total bore.  How Southgate manages to keep his position is mind boggling.

Ukraine are playing 10 behind the ball. Tapping it around looking for a way through is about all they can do. 

Our goal came from a ball over the top. 

I don’t agree, I would rather you are more fluid and pull them out of position with quick precise passing and good movement off the ball. This hasn’t been that today, it has been back to typical southgate ball

Problem with Southgate continually picking Maguire and Henderson is he's now made them a big target. If he subs them, it makes them and him look even worse (possibly even get boo'd or sarcastically cheered coming off). I don't agree with it but I can understand taking Henderson because of his leadership. But playing the full 90 is ridiculous.

 

Always thought that Southgate gets an unfair amount of criticism in some quarters (whilst having obvious faults). But after this squad and team selection. I've now gone to the darkside. You don't need Henderson against Ukraine when you've got Rice and Bellingham playing. He can't always set his team up in such a negative way and hope some individual brilliance wins it.

[Sir Shep]

In fact, whilst I’m no Pearson cultist, he’d chuffing well storm the world with these players! 

[Legend_in_blue]

Maguire booked for being as slow as a carthorse.

nah for the love of god i hope southgate does go, this just reminds me of us the last 18months under Rodgers, hes still playing favourites too

 

no way in hell is Southgate a top manager

 

its awful

[Dan LCFC]

I'm howling with laughter at that sub. This bloke isn't it.

We are fortunate that that Modryk has been a bit shit.
