Anything good England do around the Denmark box is wasted as soon as Foden gets it
Constantly makes the wrong decision. Doesn't have De Bruyne holding his hand for England I suppose.
It can't be that, De Bruyne missed half of last season and Foden was immense. It's not as if the rest are playing well either. It has to be down to Southgate and what he's instructing them to do, it's like they're all being held back somehow.
Scottish person so ignore me if I’m being unfair but I’m watching this drooling at the talent in the England side and scratching my bollocks wondering why they are so brilliant one minute and so shite the next. It must be the manager. But I don’t get why the players just don’t take it upon themselves to ignore instructions and do what comes naturally. This is Denmark, not Brazil and they are making England look fearful. I genuinely don’t get it.
PWR Apart from anything else, Foden has wasted a few attacks and TAA has shown that his so called strength of long accurate passes is not validated. These are the two positions we need to change imo.

There’s nothing about Southgate’s tactics that would make Foden consistently choose the wrong option, or scuff his shot or pass when he does make the right decision.
I'd get Watkins on with Kane. He can stretch the centre backs and make thkse runs while Kane can then be free to drop deeper. Drop Bellingham back into midfield. Take Trent off.
We have plenty of pretty midfielders but we lack a horrible bastard. A Brian Robson type or character to give them a kick up the arse. All teams need one
Utter dogshit. Southgate is managing to turn these superstars at their clubs into something resembling Charlton Athletic over the last couple of seasons.

Above anyone, including Southgate, it’s England being England. It’s in the DNA - team could be 1970 Brazil and still make it look like hard work.

I said exactly that on this thread the other day and got a hatful of lol’s someone in this group of players need to get hold of the players and tell them to ignore what’s being said from the sideline. It really is ridiculous! Even the pundits are saying it but being politically correct and not actually naming names
Needs someone to take the game by the scruff of the neck and drive England forwards. To be fair, and I know he's been making the wrong decision too often, but I think Fodden has been trying to do that a bit. But overall, it all just looks so tentative. I'd like to see Gallagher on for Trent as halftime, try and introduce a bit more energy and running into the middle of the park.

It’s always gone well when a squad has revolted against the manager in the middle of a major tournament…
The graphic the BBC have shown of the average position of the England players before and after scoring is shocking. I knew they had dropped deep, but didn't realise how much

Why cant Hojbjerg play like this for Spurs FFS. He's been bloody everywhere. I thought he'd struggle against Rice tonight.

As is being discussed right now, Kane is too deep and is being a big cause of our issues.
Pickford is always slow reacting to long range shots ...
