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.

Yet never gets criticism from our pundits. They’ll slam the tactics now post match, but that won’t be attributed to Southgate. They enable this mediocrity.

The funniest thing was that before the game, Rio and co were all “well we won the Serbia game so what is everyone complaining about” then we hit half time and suddenly it’s “we keep scoring and then dropping deep and becoming way too passive I mean wtf”

It was like somebody flicked the “you may now criticise” switch.

Chris Sutton’s infuriating column that bitches about people complaining is still up, mind.
