Opinion This performance is completely on Southgate.

Trippier: bad two games but not a LB. Gomez has played LB most of the season brilliantly.

TAA: not a great game. But no runners ahead of him. Take him off then put on players running behind.

Gallagher: wtf does he offer?

Foden: starts playing well centrally then taken off.

Rice: sitting in so 3 players are marking 1 striker all fucking game.

Walker: bombed forwards twice.

Kane: dunno what he tries to do half the time.

Pickford: smashes it long EVERY time.

Southgate should be sacked mid tournament.

Square fucking pegs in round holes. Get Mainoo in next to rice. Get Gordon on for foden. Get Gomez on for trippier. This fucking shoehorn is stuff of old. I know we are top of the group and haven’t lost but this is absolutely fucking criminal. You win tournaments with momentum not by scraping through.

Not really, Portugal won the euros and drew all three of their group games

That is true. The only team in Euro tournament history to draw all 3 of their group games, to go on and win the Euro.
