    Who saw this coming after the squad announcement? Absolutely no quality. How are Konsa, Spence and Madeuke starting games for England?

    Once, just once, I want to see Madueke run at his man.
    More chance he would confuse himself than the defender

    The real winners here - Southgate and Maguire.

    You have to play commanding CBs. Konsa and Guehi have absolutely 0 leadership or authority between them.

    Fair to say that this has to be Pickfords last tournament too. All over the place
    Also why did Stones play the Croatia game then vanish?

    Going to say it again. Rio Ngumoha should’ve been that RW pick over Madueke. 

    He’s everything we need right now. I understand not taking players too early but he just has that directness and quality.

    Embarrassing so far... Just need a red card to finish us off.

    Passing is to slow ,losing our heads here
    It’s so basic isn’t it. How do you break down a ‘low block?’ You move the ball at speed, you have quick movement. It’s not hard. They’re so, so easy to defend against. You want to play slow, pedestrian football? Go for it - we’ll sit and keep our shape and watch.

    Absolute shit show. That from Rashford just before the drinks break sums it up.

    An absolutely pathetic performance so far.

    Not sure why I am surprised TBH. Defensively they have been a shambles all tournament and it is just continuing.

    Spence is having a weapons grade nightmare

    Bellingham needs to get his head straight or he
    is heading for a red card.
  • Only good thing so far is that I haven’t had to sit up until 1 am to witness it.

    I simply do not understand how Rashford has kept his place. Thought he was so wasteful vs. Panama and it’s be 20 mins of the same shite today.

    With Madueke on the other side it’s not much better than having Campbell and Small on either side. 

    As it stands, Tuchel is dying on the sword of his team selection.

    Madueke has absolutely no final product

    If by some miracle we get through what will Mexico , Brazil or Argentina do to this pathetic defence ?

    Perhaps we can play this mob in a pre season friendly. Our lads could do with a test.

    We’ve run at them twice. It’s opened up space, twice. 

    That time we nearly scored. Then we play to Rashford who is having a stinker and we look shit again.

    Put a left footed winger on the left, a right footed winger on the right and we win this.

    Better since the drinks break, clearly reminded the players of what they should be doing

    Zero desire to set my alarm for midnight sunday night if we somehow get through this.

    If things had worked out differently in the play offs we could have been watching TC putting England out the World Cup.
