England are getting bullied

Love Southgate as an ambassador for the country, he's a great guy, a proud Englishman and cares so much for our national team. But I've felt since day 1 that he just doesn't suit the national team given it's full of players who play quite aggressive, attacking football. Southgate's football is just too cautious, we are wasting real-world-class talent at the moment, we are winning, but this should be way more comfortable. 

He's a fanny

He should have been sacked after Italy.

I don't think Southgate has probably intentionally changed anything but it's another case of us being great til we score. Then shit afterwards.

Gallagher right choice there, adds a lot more running and a bit more grit to the middle. 

Would go Eze/Palmer for Foden now 

Just said to my cat, I would put Eze on. 

 

Wife doesn't care and kids asleep, so the cat got my rant

If you had a bev every time Guy Mowbray makes a reference relating to increased amounts of tension you'd be on your arse by now

Annoyingly it should be easier to score now, there are huge gaps all over the field and precisely zero white shirts occupying them.

We just have more clinical players than most teams such as Serbia so will be fine. When we play a team who are just as clinical, we always get caught.

Bellingham looks frustrated by the lack of passion and drive from his teammates.

[Sly]

How is that a foul 

[Suzie the Fox]

Palmer for Foden plx

[Samilktray]

Jarrod Bowen on for Saka. A rich tea biscuit of a substitution 

[UniFox21]

Would not have taken Saka off.

Unless they're swapping Bowen and Foden now 

[spacemunky]

Bowen and Gallagher have been the subs so far.

 

Southgate never disappoints.

[StanSP]

Good save from Kane header. 

[Super_horns]

We’ve seen this sort of performance in the opening game before .

1990
92
96
2000
2006
2010

etc .

 

That was close though .

[Sly]

Great save that 

[trabuch]

Sitter.

 

[spacemunky]

So close Harry!

[PhillippaT]

ARGH!

[foxfanazer]

The commentators overhype every little thing one of our players do. It's nauseating. Foden runs 5 yards with the ball and gets fouled....."it's like Foden has velcro on his boots"

[Nalis]

Decent sub by Southgate are words I never thought I'd say, good ball by Bowen.

[RowlattsFox]

Gallagher and Bowen are typical Southgate subs when winning. But excellent first impact from Bowen. 

[foxfanazer]

Oh look a player running direct and creating a massive chance! Well in Bowen 

[Sir Shep]

That’s why Kane stays on, completely anonymously most of the game but pops up and (nearly) scores.
