[Football] Euros 2024 - Matchday 7

[hart's shirt]

Just waiting for the Matchday 3 thread apologists to tell us that we're unbeaten, we're top of the group and it'll be better next time.

Over to you lads. Rather you than me.

 

[Justice]

Good point that, well done lads.

Its coming home.

The Squad will be coming home ….. early

 

[The Fits]

That was inevitable after the early goal.
What exactly does Southgate do?

 

[A1X]

Refreshing to hear so much criticism though, previously it’s all been about how Southgate is the messiah and “one of the lads”, finally the scales are falling from the eyes

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

takes Kane off, which I wasn't against

But Watkins didn't do much more, which shows were the problem lays

We create nothing

 

[A1X]

Walker talking as if everything went to plan!!

Yep clearly thinks it’s all gone well, they’re in for a nasty shock in the morning

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

Hopefully the Spain v Italy will be a better game

If all 22 players sat down and started crocheting for 90 minutes, it would be an infinitely better game than the shit England have just served up..

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Message for Southgate

 

[Nobby]

Southgate has a unique skill as a manager

He makes some of the best players in World football look like they play in League 2.

Watkins did okay, at least he ran in behind a few times. Kane was abysmal again, despite his tap in.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Told you lot Southgate was rubbish.
But you wouldn’t listen.

 

[Hiheidi]

Can we replace Southgate before the third game?

It worked out well for Ivory Coast in the AFCON.

 

[zefarelly]

They are not working to a credible plan.

Maybe they all think the manager is clueless and just can't bring themselves to do whatever

Why were England one of the favourites?

you must have got the first press release . . . . The second line . . . . .

England one of the favourites . . . . To scrape through and get knocked out in the first competitive/knock out game.

 

[AlexBH]

One thing the commentators touched on, which I actually agree with for once, is there is not one England player out there who had a good game.

If I struggled to pick one it’d be Walker, but he made loads of mistakes himself and wasn’t above a 6/10.

Dreadful today, to a man.

The Palace player at CB played well. I know this won’t be a popular opinion.

 

[Scoffers]

Makes no sense at all, all that attacking flair and we sit behind the ball making it twice as hard to attack with purpose. That's on Southgate.

BUT

We were sloppy from the start, passing not crisp enough, not enough players closing down properly, honestly, how many players can you say a worth a 7 or more today?

We just about got away with it against Denmark, but we play like that against the top teams and it will come apart pretty quickly.

 

[Eric the meek]

Shearer is not happy with the performance:

'Southgate is not getting the best out of the England players'.

Yes because there is not tactics and the manager has players out of position.
When will people realise it’s the Feckin manager

 

[Mackenzie]

I think you may have taken the wrong pills

Yeah, there may have been a soupçon of sarcasm in that particular post.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Inclusivity assessment:

That was shit.
That were shit.

Insightful!
