Kane's funeral is going to be a riot. Trying to get him in the box is a nightmare!

The bloke presses worse than a pre WW2 iron. 

[Lako42]

The lads in the studio have just woken up after 10 years of hibernation. 

 

 

Southgate is completely shit. 

[fox_favourite]

Need a striker that is aggressive, can score goals and playa with passion. What Rio has just described a prime Vardy

[foxes_rule1978]

Denmark very average but like against Serbia we are watching them play it around… I don’t get it, it is like we are a non league team against a PL side… playing so deep and getting numbers back… it’s weird and ****ing shit tactics 

[Tielemans63]

This team has absolutely no identity, which all comes from a manager with no identity.

 

Bland, bland, bland

pretty much spot on that, dunno how some people defend him tbf

Southgate strcuturally is not a good coach. He might be a good man-manager, but I seriously don't think he understands coaching basics.

 

The most obvious thing with England is the lack of attacking patterns of play. Look at us last season, you saw obvious patterns where say the number 8 makes an inside channel run to cut it back to a winger or other number 8. In this tournament, look at Italy, France, even "lesser" teams like Switzerland and Austria. They all have clear patterns, England don't.

 

Another example is that he's seen Trent as an inverted fullback for Liverpool and thinks he can play as a CDM. But he doesn't understand HOW Liverpool used Trent to make that work.

 

England will probably still win the game, just because of the quality we have, but it's in spite of the manager, not because of him.

 

If Potter replaces Southgate, he will be waaaaaaay better.

[kristianity77]

This is garbage again. It’s a pattern to England more or less since getting bummed by Italy in the final years ago.  Too scared to lose, not brave enough to win. Southgate is so negative in his play

[foxfanazer]

Kane being criticised by English pundits!! 

 

Are my ears deceiving me!?

 

 

Lineker had to make sure we know how much of a good finisher he is though

 

Brilliant finish today apparently

Does anyone know how many times has Kane scored against Kasper in all competitions, sorry no prizes.

It’s Kane, of course there’s no prizes.

TAA isn't moving, he's not showing for the ball. Rice is just running around him trying to get the ball moving whilst he just watches the game going on round him.

You’re right, I like him a lot but I’ve barely noticed he’s there, centre midfield has been Rice carrying it upfield alone and Bellingham trying to get close to Kane. Trent seems to have inherited the Mason Mount role of strolling around pointing and not getting involved, the game passing him by.

Would it be as high as 20?

Is Kane a striker or a deep lying midfielder? Spent all his career doing this, about time he decided so a team he plays for can win something.

It's no coincidence he's never won anything 

[marcymarc666]

Headless chickens, no one knows where anyone else is, trent should not be playing in midfield, we have so much ability and Southgate is spaffing it.

Trent’s attitude stunk that half - I’d have subbed him after 20 minutes.

 

He was essentially hiding.

[Daggers]

I absolutely adore Micah. 

[The Guvnor]

Gaz and co are rightly baffled with Southgate’s tactics.

[foxfanazer]

Get the lads who are desperate to play on the pitch

[Nalis]

The Trent experiment clearly hasn't worked. Bin for Mainoo or Wharton to allow the front 4 to do their thing.

[foxes_rule1978]

This is the worst we have played at a tournament under southgate, and yet the players are better wtf is this shit

Whenever I am boring my friends about Vardy (which is often) - I swear that we'd have won the 2018 WC with him up front instead of Kane. But Kane is absolutely undroppable and always has been. His record speaks for itself/himself. He's not good for teams.

He's a legend is our Big Meeks

Need another man in midfield i think, do we risk going 3 at back, taking Trippier off. As it stands the midfield will cost us this game.

Even dropping Alli or Sterling for Vardy would have worked on 2018.

[Tielemans63]

Lineker just hit the nail on the head "play to your strengths, not your weaknesses"

 

I absolutely hate this about Southgate
