Well. I have to give credit where its due. With the embarrassment of riches in England's attack. It takes some real tactical nous to turn the team into the most boring and unimaginative side since Grahams Arsenal. Wow.

Since Grahams Arsenal! Didn’t you see Grahams Tottenham?

Imagine being harry Kane and used to looking left and seeing Sonny and Reg, and looking right and seeing Lamela/Lucas and Serge, then starting this game and looking right and seeing Mason Mount, and looking left and seeing someone who Danny Rose probably had to google.

Not only me then that thinks this. A pet hate of mine with modern football. Radio is just as bad. Sometimes I can be listening to 15 mins of waffle and you wouldn't know the game is being played. And a pundit sat alongside doing exactly the same. So glad I grew up watching football in the 70's

I wish they’d just let the game do the talking sometimes.

Doesn’t excuse the selection or performance but my God this ref is shit. That’s about 3 fouls given against England for nothing in 5 mins, but no cards for the guys hacking Kane

I said this the other day especially with him. He thinks we want to hear what he has to say. We dont

I'm usually in the positive, always looking at the bright side side on SC.

But fuck me, this performance has been shocking, and it's all on Southgate.

southgate needs to go. leaving sancho and grealish out is moronic, playing maguire is idiocy.

It’s only a friendly but I don’t know what he’s trying to do or prove. The constant non picking of Grealish is just weird. The two subs he brought on have done nothing. I’m not sure Sancho has even touched the ball yet.

I mean England are shocking but this is some of the worst reffing I've seen in a long time. It's actually a fucking disgrace.

Aside from Southgate being incredibly negative (which we already knew) my main takeaway from this game is how bang average Denmark are. If England can’t beat teams like this then they have zero chance of winning the euros next summer.
