If you look at Slovakia or even Georgia, they don’t have the talent of England but know how to move and have patterns or play and organisation that make them more fluid as a team. You can clearly see in how England play, that he plays in the Man City formation, but doesn’t have a clue on how to coach or train the patterns of play, so England is constantly improvising making their play more disjointed.

The evidence that a person is not very intelligent, is to keep making the same mistakes and expecting a different result. Exactly what Southgate is doing.

As a Slovakian (although not a big fan of national football, honestly), I was delighted when the ball was passed to Trippier. The lad basically never played a first time forward pass. We had our flanks protected by a 35+ years old fullback on the right who barely played this season and a centre back out of his position on the left (with his left thigh taped up). Barely tested. Saka off his position with Palmer cutting back every ball, too… A bit baffling to say the least.

​ God save the German, Danish, and their nonce brethren in the palaces more like it.

England will win again. Cuz Jude does what Jude does & Gareth has stumbled upon his best format. 5-3-2 with Trent & Saka as wingbacks & Harry & Toney or Palmer up front with Foden as an impact sub. Maths Profs are happy with Sir Gareth. They say in 1966, the 3 🦁 only played 2 good games (the semi & final). The other games were big battles & growing form game by game, built on a great defence & worldy goals by Sir Bobby C v/s Portugal. Spot on by Big Sam A. 3 🦁 best with 3 CBs & 2 Wingbacks. Gotta start Trent at right wingback as per Gary Neville, Carra, Souness, Don Fabio & Don Carlo. Maths Profs said last month that Sir Gareth is channelling the spirit of Sir Alf, who was also bashed a lot by pundits. But the fans built statues of him & put him in the hall of fame. Is Toney or Palmer the new Sir Geoff? Jude the new Sir Bobby C/Zidane hybrid? Harry the new Hunt? Foden the new Greaves? Kobbie the new Nobbie? Walker the new Wilson? Stones the new Sir Jack? Rice the new Alan Ball? Trent the new Sir Bobby Moore? Saka the new Martin Peters? Say prayers of gratitude. At 95.33 mins, the Brummie 🦁 Lion struck a righty bicycle beauty better than Zidanes UCL Cup winner. They are going barmy with joy in Brum, totally barmy. Hey, Jude is blaring out in every Brummie street. Karen Carneys crying tears of joy.

It's definitely not coming home 🤣 This English National Team is boring, stale...

The fact that nobody has mentioned that Cole Palmer, Ivan Toney and Eberechi Eze were all involved in the build up to the goal Harry Kane scored is quite extraordinary.

Our players s hould have no problem to break these sides down but Southgate is clueless

Bro why does ESPN UK have a smaller budget than me in a supermarket

That Mark Ogden is like the punditry version of Southgate, almost accepting Southgate's appalling game management, use of players and lack of adventure as just being part of his personality. It's tame journalists like this that allow Southgate a free pass when they should be vocally and visibly expressing the frustration and utter dismay of 85% of fans at Southgate's irrational handling of this squad which now seems to be the result of some kind of neural disorder. An almost OCD level of self-sabotaging caution that has just taking us to the brink and forget today's great escape, we're now just a few fingernails from toppling over the edge and I can't seeing any farfetched hollywood way out of the inevitable.

I love how miserable the English are being undefeated and making a quarter final🤷😅

He was/is going to resign regardless. No one expects him to stay on even if they win it all.

Feels like a terrible thing to say but we don't have enough injuries to key personnel

Southgate may have the last laugh in this tournament. The worst team could win with luck. Sometimes the stars may be aligned in your favour.

Southgate is on the easy side of the draw. He'll probably luck his way to another final. It's a shame either one of Germany or Spain, who have been playing better football will be eliminated earlier than England.

They won and they're thinking about what the manager would have done if they lost?

Wharton is better than Rice, Rice is a robot, who doesn't see the field ,but gets the ball more than anyone, don't you think that's a problem, he forces the ball back

Southgate clearly understands the game much more than these herberts.

Faye Carruthers on Tallksoprt interviewed Southgate after the match and asked him the specific question. When your team were losing 1-0 and struggling in the 2nd half why did you leave the substitutions so late? What was going through your mind in the 2nd half? His reply was, it might seem obvious to make several substitutions however he wanted to keep the same shape and he was conscious that by overstretching chasing an equaliser then you're more vulnerable to the sucker punch going 2-0 behind. Typical Southgate, when his teams are 1-0 behind his main focus is to stay in the game, he only prepared to take risks throwing caution to the win in the 87th minute.

Switzerland will eat this over hyped England team and the sad thing is, if England does get knocked out, nothing will change. They will be back to their clubs and earn tonnes of money because the foreign players make them look good!!

Southgate has got a template which for him he sees as being successful. Hence the Calvin Phillips comments. It's third rate, old school and he has no plan B. He's sticking with his favourites out of loyalty and reputation in spite of the fact it's clearly not working.

England playing like a bunch of 'schoolboys' in white especially in the first half. They are very very lucky to equalise in the final minutes of the second half. This luck will not persist in the Qtr finals if they continue to play this level of football. However, I feel that the subs Palmer, Eze & Toney had make a big diff to the team's progress when they came in. In fact, I believe Switzerland will beat England easily in the qtr finals having watch how pathetic the 'schoolboys' had played.
