The thing is that I'm so used to this now that I'm not even bothered. All you can do is roll your eyes and see the funny side.

Southgate has ruined these players. They are nowhere near the players they are in the PL

This isn't a personnel problem though, this is tactical more than anything. He doesn't trust the defence, so has Rice and Mainoo sitting in front of them, so Slovakia dominating the midfield and pressing really well, so the defence have no out ball. Have Rice in front of the back for, Bellingham as the floating number 8, Foden as the 10, Watkins up front and have a proper winger on the left. Loads of pace, pushes their full backs back. Got to be better than this shit.

Literally everyone except Southgate accepts this is more or less the answer. It's baffling.

His sword is probably a spoon. Can't be carrying sharp objects around.

We’ve got worse every game this tournament. Everything is so slow. We have no idea how to progress the ball up the pitch. I don’t think Southgate has a plan B, we only play one way. Nowhere near good enough. I blame both the players and the manager.

Football really hasn’t been much fun this year with Brighton’s form tailing off so badly and England playing such a dire brand

Got to be at least 2 subs at half-time to try and turn this around. No good doing a bit of tinkering

I’d change both wingers now - I’m not sure what you can do about that midfield

Not sure how they managed to win the group. Been playing worse than the Scots.

Great individuals, absolutely shockingly shite team.

I'll give the dull, but correct, answer. It's the age at which his grandfather, who was a huge figure in his childhood, died.

See I'm completely the opposite. I've not got wound up by the football for decades, but this tournament is bringing the rage out. We have a stonking team going forward and a good enough defensive centre midfielder to cover the leaky defence. Just go for it.
