    lol!... Was that fan in the blue England kit being mugged the way someone had their arm round his neck :D

    Southgate would've waited until the 88 minute if the Swiss hadn't scored. He is such a reactive manager.

    Is it just me or have the swiss purposely not made further subs because they know what Southgate is like? Can't remember a game like it with so few sub breaks (ed with extra time in mind i mean)

    Kane looking like Joe Biden rn ffs

    Luckiest manager in the universe.

    No way Kane should be staying on we need to score I don’t fancy penalties against this lot 
  • Laddick01Laddick01
    One Luke Shaw overlap had them terrified. 

    Once again, love Harry Kane but I can't see what he's bringing to us this tournament.

    Poor second half from England, bailed out by a wonder goal again. Need to be much better to win this.

    Southgate getting saved left and right by the individual quality of this team.  Dragging him through games despite the tactics for 80 minutes of it. 
    We’re not through this yet.

    Kane stays on for the likelihood of penalties… next match he has to be coming off the bench though
  • SELR_addicksSELR_addicks
    If Kane misses a penalty he's not welcome back after these displays. He can stay in Germany.

    Seems crazy to keep a player on for 30 mins of extra time for the sake of one penalty

    Southgate desperate for us to go ahead, so that he can take Saka off.

    If England could stick Docherty and Berry in midfield with Godden and Ahadme up front, we would piss this game.
    Think we'd be disqualified seeing Docherty is Scottish and Adahme is Moroccan ;)

    England don’t, imo, look as fresh in comparison to the Slovakia game. Slovakia had put everything into the 90 but the Swiss seem to have a bit more left in them plus more changes available

    Toney is even better at penalties than Kane 
  • ForeverAddicktedForeverAddickted
    Lets be honest Switzerland are beating us at penalties regardless who we have taking them
  • SELR_addicksSELR_addicks
    Those panicked subs has made us look a bit unsure as to where everyone should be. 
  • ForeverAddicktedForeverAddickted
    What a save that was

    Seriously we barely bothered having anyone in the box for that corner?

    Palmer showing exactly why he doesn't start these games.

    The sooner players learn NOT to throw themselves to the deck whenever an opponent makes contact with them the better.

    I might start enjoying games again.

    People always call for Kane to stay put up front, when he does that he’s ineffective. He impacts games by dropping deep and using his excellent range of passing. To do that he needs runners off and around him. You get that a little bit from Saka (but not when he’s a wing back) but Foden and Bellingham don’t do it and they actually fill the spaces Kane wants to drop into. 

    To get the best out of Kane you probably have to play Bellingham deeper (which limits him) drop Foden, and get someone like Gordon into the team.

    Or you need to take Kane out for a player who does want to be a more traditional number 9 (we have two solid options) and then work on getting the balance of the three behind them better (which also probably means moving Bellingham or dropping Foden). 

    I do think it’s pretty clear what needs to be done, but I don’t care who the manger is, leaving out any one of Kane, Bellingham, or Foden would be a massive call and requires a lot more bravery when it’s actually your call and you facing the press, and not just an opinion you’re giving on a football forum

    Schar is very lucky not to have walked now!!

    He could have received enough cards by now to have a hand of poker.

    Get a grip. Record goal scorer, captain, decent grounded human being and you want him excommunicated for one poor tournament.

    Just not enough power on the effort from Bellingham

    It was a joke chin up. 

    However, Kane needs to come off. How are you nowhere near that Saka ball either?

    If it goes to penalties, you just know the Swiss keeper will have a blinder
