In every way, that was like watching the Wanderers
High possession stats Lows shots Low shots on target Awful subs
Kane is like Charles, when Wilson or Rashford could have been a better option Sterling was like Kachunga, Mount like Dapo Saka like Baka
And when Maguire (Santos) is your best player you know your in trouble
Southgate is so fkn boring and against risk, bringing Henderson on said everything and yet some will have a go at my moans and say ‘we’ve as good as qualified for the next stage’
We very well might just do that but can we do Brazil, Spain or France?? Had we played Iran tonight I think they’d have beaten us or got a draw
Southgate’s not for me, never has been and before anyone throws in the Euro Finals and WC quarters in Russia, with the players at his disposal, that should have been a given
Not happy😡😡😡😡

I can’t disagree rioch, Southgate wouldn’t be my choice of manager either. That performance tonight just summed him up and for me it was Southgate who lost us the Euro final against an ageing and slow Italy by dropping all our quick and skilful players in favour of solidity which eventually cost us. Ok we’ll still qualify outside of a silly result but that’s not the point. We were just awful tonight, no pace, no urgency and no guts. We made the USA look good, which they certainly aren’t. You’re right it was just like watching wanderers with the same walking football, nobody picking up and wanting to run with the ball. The other thing that wound me up was that every time the ball was played along the back the player receiving the ball continually turned backwards to receive it ensuring a pass back instead of turning forward to make a positive run or pass. I hope it was just a bad day at the office and they take it out on Wales next week because I can’t believe the likes of Saka, Bellingham and Sterling are as bad as they looked tonight. I think the negativity and slow pace from the back just disrupted the whole team so let’s hope they wake up for the Wales game?

Southgate is overrated, picks the wrong team, and can't correct things when as tonight England are being given the run - around. His faith in the donkey Mount continues to puzzle me. He was the main reason that the midfield link was lost. He continues to play a left-footed Saka on the right wing, and for once I agreed with Gary Neville - he should have brought on the sprightly Foden to give us midfield inspiration. IT did not call for Grealish and Henderson at that stage, and even later Rashford. Southgate is surely on his way, and for me ASAP.

I’ve no time for Southgate, his negative tactics nor his virtue signalling that the players take the knee. I haven’t seen all the games but I don’t think I’ve seen one other team do it and found it laughable last night when even the Americans didn’t do it. How much longer does this farce continue it should never have started in the first place for me but it’s certainly past it’s sell by date now. I think it’s time footballers just did what they get paid for and stop preaching to the rest of us.

Think a lot of the suprisingly poor teams are the ones that are still picking the same teams as 4 years ago. Spain seems to be a whole new team and looks good. Belguim, Argentina really look laboured. Wales too carrying has beens. England have about 8 players today that we’re in the Russia WC comp, so does that class us as a ‘poor’ team OooM?? After 22 minutes of Evatt style football, I’m contemplating turning the telly off. This is a bit rubbish if I’m honest and we might just scrape a 1-0 USA are as bad as us COYE 🏴🏴🏴⚽️⚽️⚽️🏴🏴🏴⚽️⚽️⚽️ Half hour gone 68% possession Zero shots on target & zero shots at all Yanks could be 2 nowt up Remind you of anyone😂 Actually, should stop calling Evatt football as ‘Pep’ football as it’s pretty clear it’s ‘Gareth’ football COYE ⚽️🏴⚽️🏴⚽️🏴⚽️🏴 Ha, think it does. Couldnt believe my eyes when I saw Henderson coming on over Foden.

Wouldn’t it be great if the Trotters had one of those🤔

Great stuff in the second half and England look so much better when they up the tempo rather than that pitiful walking pace stuff we saw in the first half. Anyway, mission accomplished for me with England through and Wales on their way home. Certainly isn’t going to be an easy next game on Sunday against Senegal and certainly much more physical than England have faced so far. So well done Gareth for having faith in Rashford and finally playing Foden who got better as the game went on. I’m feeling a lot more confident after that for the rest of the tournament.

Wow, Morocco win group F and Belgium are going home. Even though Croatia drew today Belgium looked far the more potent team but just couldn’t get that goal, especially Lukaku who must still be wondering how he hasn’t scored. Croatia look nothing and to be honest I still haven’t seen a club that does yet. Even France who we’re likely to play if we beat Senegal don’t look much other than Mbappe so who knows how far we can go?

I tell yer what!!!
The way I moaned and moaned and moaned about our performance against the Yanks, the way these ‘BIG’ teams are dropping, with Germany and Belgium out and at one point tonight, even Spain were heading home (when Costa Rica were winning) that draw, that point v USA was an amazing result in the grand scheme of things Even Tunisia beating Le Frog’s yesterday was a big upset
Can’t say I’m too upset seeing the Krauts dumped in such controversial fashion as they’ve cheated and dived (Klinsmann) their way to other World Cup wins, call it chardenfrayude, but I’m made up Japan qualified as im hoping they’ll take another scalp along the way, thus making our route to the final an easy one
We can do this 🏴⚽️🏴⚽️🏴
We can!!!!!
Just no more negative football please Mr Evattgate
COYE 🏴⚽️🏴⚽️🏴⚽️🏴⚽️🏴⚽️🏴⚽️
