The Footie Thread

TAA sleep-walking through this game. I've been watching him closely. Short pass, stand still, never gives an option. Actually walked towards Rice in the first half giving nothing but actually blocking anything else. Didn't press for the goal. First movement was hands behind back then flicked his leg at it.

He looks absolutely knackered doing nothing at all...

 

[Pin-seeker]

I'll be bold, I'd rather have Henderson in midfield than TAA

Steady on mate

 

[AmandaJR]

Thank the lord...get gone!

 

[Tashyboy]

TAA is a passenger nothing more.

He is not now. Hope the Southgate lovers have some good answers for that performance. It is purgatory with those players. Even if England win it is a shocking display.

There is an obsession with getting Bellingham in the 10 for England. Sure he looks amazing there for madrid.. a team in a league that's not as competitive and they play very fluid football

Stick him at number 8 next to rice and get foden in there.

Space then for a left midfielder of some kind .. gordon will scare defenses

It's so lacking in energy I have to wonder if there's a bug in the camp. Or have they all eaten an out of date Bratwurst...

Saving themselves for later in the tournament.

Rice needs taking off now too. He lost without Philips in there looking after him

 

[BubbaP]

Can maybe guess how GS thinks by now. If Denmark are the 2nd strongest in the group. A draw might be enough to go through anyway, and one game left....

 

[Billysboots]

Managed to find a bar down near the marina, full of locals, all wanting Denmark to win. They seem the happier at the moment!

Wasn't the last euros his last good performance?

 

[Pin-seeker]

We’ve currently had 2 shots on target V Denmark in 68 minutes

 

[BrianM]

They look better with Gallagher in midfield to be fair, I’d take Saka off for Gordon and shift Foden right.

Pretty much.

 

[SteveW86]

Ooooh, some positive movement

 

[Arthur Wedge]

They look better with Gallagher in midfield to be fair, I’d take Saka off for Gordon and shift Foden right.

In what way because it’s the same turgid slow deep football but with the added someone on a yellow card after diving in too many times

And about time someone running off the defender

 

[Captainron]

Watkins looks miles better than Kane. Good switch. Kane is pedestrian

Yeah, I think it's clear the Trent in midfield experiment hasn't worked, and will only get found out further when we play better teams. Third group game would be the ideal time to try Jude deeper, Foden in the number 10 and Gordon give us some legs down the left.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Why are Rice and Gallagher nearly on the CB’s toes when they have one person up high

 

[Slime]

......................... and people wonder why Utd supporters didn't want Southgate to replace EtH.
