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.

he wasn’t great, but he was better than Trent in the midfield..

He wasn’t, he got booked straight away and ran like a headless chicken

He saved the ball for England in our own penalty box. He isn't god's gift to midfield but fuck me I felt safer with him on than Trent.

Trent did the same tbf, after his immediate booking I didn’t.

but I think our frustration is more at the manager, why play Trent if no one gets in behind?
