If this England team stumble to the final it will give hope to all small, average and poor teams. A bit like when Greece won it. If they did it, why can’t we?
Because they had a tactically astute manager in charge. We’ve got the horse that pulls Steptoe’s cart.

There's a mental disease in English football. They just don't want it like other nations. There is just no pride. That's what it looks like and has been this way for so long. It's not just minging tactics. It's a total lack of effort. Some sort of mental malaise that we are familiar with at spurs.

I'd drop, barring a couple, every waster on that pitch.

You don't see this sort of performance with Argentina, Spain, Sco.... Ital... Oh.

But seriously. He needs to hike off a few and get some proper width and pace on.

Stones at fault there. He’s out of position because he has no need to go over to challenge when Guehi is there. CC Tgat means he’s not in position to sweep up when Guehi’s beaten in the air
More to it than just that. Too easy to play the ball from midfield and I thought Pickford was too slow reacting and in closing down the shot.

I'll say Mainoo, who I didn't think should play, hasn't let himself down this half, can't say that about anyone else.
Whether it's because for city everyone else is always moving I don't know but Foden has been aimless and clueless and Saka is weak and clueless.

TAA on for Walker, Gomez on for Trippier, Gordon on for Foden. Get some proper width down each wing and another defender in to sure up the back while we press on.

I hope you all understand that the substitution Southgate is going to make at HT is Gallagher for Mainoo
If he doesn’t bring on Gordon and/or Palmer, I’m gonna start to hope we fucking lose and put us out of our misery.

There’s still that flicker of national pride but it’s getting to the point where the country could probably do without the stress and just allow us to enjoy the tournament (even though it’s been generally poor overall, but nothing compared to us stinking out the place).

Tripple changes for me

Trent for trippier and move walker left back

Palmer for sake

Gordon for Fodon

Southgate is a mid-table championship manager at best, and I mean really top end some would still argue even that is a push, top end best.
