These three work. Troy is a calm, respectful fella.

Love these 3 fellas as a team, they always make me laugh as they have the sarcastic humour that suits me perfectly. This is quickly becoming my favourite podcast channel. As for England, well....... I think modern football, and in particular this group of players, have outgrown Southgate, he's tactically inept and his coaching staff are incapable of getting the best out of this talent packed squad, which is unacceptable. Southgate is a PR man so the FA should give him a role within the England set up and they should then bring in a manager who fully understands modern football. Southgate and his staff are totally out of touch with the players we have and their squad selection just baffled me to be honest. Yes, its great to see that there are a lot of exciting new players but you still have to have experienced players within the squad, especially in the midfield, and we only have Declan Rice, who can't do everything on his own. So, to the English FA, I say "Go and get a modern, forward thinking manager who is bold, brave and technically clever........ if we want an Englishman, go and get Eddie Howe, if we're not bothered where he comes from, go and get a manager like Jurgen Klopp."

Rooney got called out for saying he “wouldn’t have Trent anywhere near midfield” Mostly by Liverpool fans because he can do no wrong in their eyes.. It hasn’t worked.. Southgate is that stubborn he will stick with it in the final game

@Question3verything Obsessed with Liverpool and Trent. Let me guess you support a team from Manchester? Trent is brilliant at right back and has proven it for years at the highest level with one of the best teams in Europe. Got us to three champions league finals and won a premier league as a right back. Last season Klopp also asked him to play a role where he not only plays right back, but also drops into midfield and picks out an array of amazing passes and crosses for Salah, Nunez, Jota and Diaz. He isn’t an out an out midfielder and Southgate shouldn’t play him there. He could easily play Trent as a right wing back in a 5-4-1 or 3-5-2 formation and he could effect the game, he’s also our best corner taker and a free kick specialist. If Southgate isn’t smart enough to see it he needs to drop Trent out of the team.. in the last game though, he wasn’t our worst midfielder. Rice had a shocker and Bellingham wasn’t doing much. Our whole midfield got outplayed..because our main centre forward can’t press and the whole team end dropping deep. Foden also doesn’t make runs behind.. which is why Trent has been selected, to find him in space, only Saka can run behind and Trent has found him a few times, we almost scored from it vs Denmark.

@gillie-monger3394

It hasn't worked because Southgate hasn't put the right players in place for TAA to make the sort of plays he's great at, has he? Like trying to race a Ferrari with no tyres.

Nearly every England manager falls into the trap of playing players out of position just to get names into the team, always results in an unbalanced dysfunctional team. If our best left back is a no name and plays in the championship it is still a better option than a right footer and that goes for every position on the pitch.

Always a great listen and dynamic between the 3 of you👍.

Love this show. Keep up the good work fellas.

Shocking performance, everyone is saying it but HIGH PRESS ffs, like most of them do for their club. There's a photo floating around showing the average position of the England team for 15 minutes after we scored and it's so deep it's unreal! (on reddit in the EUROS sub, if anyone wants to see it)

@billybobthornton9668

5 күн бұрын

Primarily Kane's fault, jogging up to players out of possession and dropping too deep in possession. Both contributed to Denmark playing straight through our first line and enabled them to push their defensive line higher. As a consequence, our midfielders didn't have space to get their heads up to pick incisive passes, and we were instead forced to shuffle the ball to the next man at pace to escape their press. We looked a lot better with Watkins up front because he was threatening in behind and initiating aggressive presses high up the pitch. The problem was that we were without Trent to pick him out when he ran in behind. That's not to say that Trent would have been some kind of silver bullet to make us cohesive, but it just seemed a bit mad to take him off and then bring Watkins on, rather than giving them at least a few minutes to play together to exploit the high Danish line 🤷

Yes Troy, it IS too easy to blame TAA. If he's got nobody running into spaces in front, and a captain constantly dropping back and getting in the way in midfield - who TF is he going to pass to ffs!? Then to take him off and THEN put runners on, I mean if that's not an example of how clueless Southgate is then I give up!

Graham Souness made a very telling point when he suggested that Southgate has to make a fundamental change in his head for England to improve. In other words, he needs to switch from negative to positive thinking. Really sad that the team are being held back by the man who is supposed to get the best out of them.

A lot of England's problems, I think, are connected to their style of play. We (all British football fans because I'm Scottish) demand the quick pass, effort, effort, effort, run fast, jump high, keep moving......and it produces national teams that value physicality more than technique and having the brains to control games. I'd like to see teams that varied their play more and played through midfield a bit more. Basically, I wish we were a bit more Spanish in our football culture. But that's a long term wish. As for this current tournament: Scotland were better in the second game and should be happy to have a chance to go through. They know they need a win which is better than wondering about other results. I think they were making a few silly challenges though against the Swiss and it was heart-in-mouth stuff at times after the sending off in the first game. As with England, our midfield hasn't looked quite right either. The second game should surely cement Gilmour deeper in midfield and keeping McTominay in a more advanced position. Long term there, I'm not convinced by 3 at the back, but I don't expect any formation changes during this tournament. Clarke will play.... Gunn -- Ralston, Hendry, Hanley, McKenna, Robertson -- Gilmour, McGregor -- McTominay, McGinn -- Adams And then it's about subs as there must be tired legs among that lot. England. Positives - they've been more defensively sound than I feared they might. Guehi has done well, mostly. I'd make changes for the third game. Not 11 changes but I'd definitely rest 4 or 5, with an eye on trying to stretch teams a bit. I think they've got too many players who want to play in a similar area, and they could do with a player stretching things there, as Bowen did immediately when he came on in the first game. Pickford - Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier - Mainoo, Rice, Wharton - Palmer, Watkins, Gordon I'd play the subs for various reasons. The first choice players haven't really performed. I suspect some have heavy legs and would benefit from a rest. Kane and Bellingham could be given 20 minutes at the end to keep them ticking over and Stones, Rice and Trippier could do with coming off after the hour. And I don't really believe in looking ahead at draws and trying to figure out who you might play because that often goes in ways you don't predict and then you are playing a team you've very obviously shown yourself wanting to avoid. Better just to do your thing and take on whoever you get. Since they are through, I'd risk being criticised for playing reserves against Slovenia because I think there's a strong case for it. Despite the concerns I'd much rather have us (Scotland) there than not, and England fans just have to hope that things kick into gear. He'll surely rest players in the next game so that should freshen things up a bit and might bring some optimism.

Mate i've been saying the exact same thing, and as soon as England produces anyone technically half decent they're overhyped as star boys. The problem with the British style is that it only works in the Premier League. It doesn't work in international football where teams sit back and give you time and space, and soak up all the effort and running that you throw at them. You need players that can make the ball do all the work. This is a reason why England gets so anxious and worried about formations and team selections, because when you lack 'technicians' it feels like only so many few combinations can work for you. The Brits tend to be athletes first and foremost and then footballers, whereas the opposite is predominately true on the continent.

They aren’t “big players” there’s a few good players who can hold their own and a couple that excel in the premier league but 6 out of the 11 aren’t premier league level.

Curious how before the tournament the same team and manager were being praised and lauded by the media.

This is what I was saying we got that scholes lamps Gerrard situation trying to play em all creates that square peg round hole situation and it affects the whole team as a whole re tactics and performances

It’s the same old from England + Southgate. We obviously have the ability to win a World Cup, let alone a Euros. But we do not have the right mentality or tactics. To lose at home to Iceland, scrape a win against Serbia and draw to an average Denmark side in the last 3 games and think we’re gonna win the Euros is laughable. The players look lost, scared and lethargic. There is no shape, no balance, no patterns of play. We have an embarrassment of riches to pick from, yet in our starting 11, 3 players are not playing in their natural positions. We have started the last 2 games with 3 natural Right Backs on the pitch. I doubt Southgate has the nerve to tell Kane to pull his finger out and stay up top. Why on earth is Tyrick Mitchell not even in the provisional squad? Solid, natural left back, yet Southgate plays a RB at LB and takes an injured LB as backup. Sackable offence.

I remember Gary Pallister being played at left back FFS!!!!!

What Greame is saying about Rice dropping 15 yards and having it off his centre-half, then knocking it 5, is what Mark Noble did for years at West Ham. I was convinced Noble was doing it just to get his stats up. He’d have the ball off a defender, who’d played international football and won trophies and knock 5 yards inside and have it back and knock it 5 to the fullback. It’s the defenders job to fuck him off out of there. Tell him that he’s not needed. Rice is only doing the same blag he saw Noble do for years.

Mainoo is quality but I don't want Southshite anywhere near him ..

I’m must say.. I like this Trio 🙌🏾💪🏾

nice chat that fellas

Phil Foden is 24 years old. Why are we talking about him like he’s a little kid? He’s played for city for 7 season and has played as a “number 10” for half a season. He plays for a team where 75% of the games they play are a walkover. Playing him on the left wing is NOT out of position. The same cannot be said about Trent. Everyone is hypnotised because of his ball playing ability. But we’re only hypnotised by it because he’s a right back And right backs with his ability don’t exist, but midfielders do and as a midfielder he’s bang average in comparison. When he’s played in midfield for Liverpool he’s playing against sheff Utd and Luton. He never got played there against Villa or Arsenal or city.

This isn’t true, Foden is at his most effective central, which is where he played most of minutes last season for City. If anything he has a right side bias cutting in to unleash that left foot. There are 4 players being played out position depending on the plan. Bellingham is NOT a 10, in 2 games he has made 10 passes into the final third, only 1 against Denmark, he is making 0.5 key passes per game, his xA is 0.33 and has lost possession 10 times…..he is NOT a 10. He is an 8, which is where he effectively plays for Madrid with a left side bias. Foden is also being played out of position. He is clearly being asked to hold that width but that is simply not his game. Great example is the first minute of the Denmark game, Foden comes in field on the first attack, we turn possession over the there is acres of space for Denmark to run into and create the first chance of the game. We all know Trent is being played out of position, so enough said, the poor performances aren’t his fault. To Declan, I’m an Arsenal fan, and he had the worst game I’ve seen from him in years. Why, in part because he was effectively and one man midfield, neither Jude nor Trent did any defensive work, their positional play was simply terrible, which saw Rice being dragged all across the back line. I would also say Declan is not a world class player at platforming attacks, he is a world class transition killer and driver with the ball. Mikel deploys him as an 8/b2b player, he doesn’t have the line break capability Rodri has. So what’s the answer, it is blatantly obvious, we have to platform our best players, Jude needs to play alongside Declan, with a license to go forward selectively, but he MUST not dominate the ball, let Foden do that in the 10 role, he is way better than Jude in that role. Play Gordon on the left, he is a natural LW with PACE and will play to Kanes strengths as he will get service and we have an over the top ball option. Saka stays RW, he is by a mile the best in that position, BUT we have to platform him. So far it’s been all about accommodating Jude, we have to platform our 4 best players properly, but playing them in their right positions. Subs if things need changing up, simple, Palmer for Foden, Wharton for Jude, we should have e Grealish as an option for Gordon it’s a scandal he isn’t there!!! This isn’t difficult unless seemingly your name is Gareth Southgate!!!

@@devilfacedjedi judge on the other hand has a massive midfield left side bias, playing as an 8 or even deeper. Play him on the left alongside Declan, Phil on the right/centre side It’s quite simple

Souness was a fine player, a leader and hard as nails. Should give the england job to him even though his a jock! England should play 3 up front in this game with foden central. can wharburton play left back natural left foot and playing left mid could slot in, he should be able too. Rice one holding midfielder.But no SG will play gallacher

as a lfc fan, you deffinetly start trent, but as rb. you only play walker there against strong teams. they open so much more with others on midfield.

Kalvin Phillips. Jesus wept.

This just proves Simon Jordan hasn’t got a jar of glue about football.

Graham “British attitude” Souness

Shitgate is stinking out this tournament like there other 3. 5 million a year he is paid….

Why Am I Not Hearing About Kobbie Mainoo Hear.. The Kid Had An Exceptional Season.. Scored Big Goals Against Liverpool & City With MOTM Performances.. MOTM On His England Full Debut What More Does He Need To Do Besides Being A Couple Years Older?????

12:55 I felt his head started hurting here 😂😂😂 because why the f**k dont they use Jude and rice as partners in midfield and free up the cam for idk a cole palmer or Foden even eze for f**k sakes

If the front players are not getting beyond the half way line, how is someone like Trent supposed to hit the passes to them ?

this is what happens when you use friendlies to experiment and constantly change rather than use them to solidify familiarity as a team, they dont know each other well enough

It’s truly a shame for this talented team to be coached by such a talentless coach.

Gareth Southgate wears a hi-vis when he goes in his loft

Southgate MUST be bold and make a decision. The TEAM is most important! the TEAM has a bad structure!!

"You dont win anything by being functional" tell that to the Italians. If that they have too many attacking players, just no balance in midfield

Gareth Southgate wears swimming goggles when he chops onions

Can't believe you want to compromise Bellingham when you could bring in Mainoo who has the cute pass you're talking about. As space disappears as the tournament progresses Mainoo would become an even bigger asset

Its almost as if England need a strong manager who picks a team. Not a group of players on name and reputation. Sadly england have Southgate.

I quite like these 3 together

Perhaps instead of talking about Phillips as an individual i think Southgate may have meant that He doesn't have the partnership, understanding and connection that Rice and Phillips have together? That maybe Mainoo, Wharton, Gallagher dont click as well with Rice as well as Kalvin does?

It doesn't matter what he meant by it. He talked about a player he CHOSE to not bring with him. Mentioning him throws shade on anyone currently in the squad playing that position and it's not gonna go down well at all. The solution to Englands issues are so glaringly obvious that even I can see what they are, yet Southgate can't. It speaks volumes

Either way is too conservative and too defensive. If it was Spain, they wouldn’t allow a non technical player like Rice to play on the pitch, let alone two to three of them at the same time.

Phillips has been irrelevant for nearly 2 years now ffs him saying that has lost the dressing room Shaw injured surerly common sense says put. Gordon on the left who runs his socks off and can back the left back up all day Arnold in midfield is so embrassing it's laughable all the attacking threat and it's the defence taking the plaudits and rightly so putting foden on the left to get taa in is a ffin joke

Simon 14:17 the changes were perplexing, because he took of the one player (Trent) that would of been able to play to Watkins strengths. Bring Trent off the bench with Watkins and/or Toney, Bowen.

This horrible idea that the best players make the best team, the best team consists of the most complimentary parts. Gareth is trying to ride a bike with two 10th gears and no 7th. Chain keeps coming off and it's really obvious why.

From England and ending up with Manchester United manager Ten Hag uhh Simon 🙌🏻
