That first 20 minutes of Evatt ball I turned over to the golf but Rory f***** it up after getting into the lead

Bloody hell Hope we don’t meet Romania !!!
They are so fast at getting up the pitch and they like to shoot on site…..
Evatt and Southgate wouldn’t like that - players thinking for themselves
Who’d have thought that with tactics like that, you’d score goals🤔🤔🤔

You’d have to hope that with attacking football seemingly making a comeback, after the Euros will Southgate and Evattball be consigned to the dust bin. Teams are playing out from the back but not in the sideways way that Evatt and Southgate do. These tournaments often set standards and hopefully so will this one with another change in style for Evatt to move towards. If England keep playing as they are I can see them not just struggling to get through the play offs but maybe out quickly in the knockouts? I’m not.willing England out but it may be worth the sacrifice? 🤷♂️

Ukraine still showing how the ‘passing out from the back’ doesn’t work
I tell you what though, that Slovakia result against Belgium perhaps showing England that our result against Serbia was quite a good result as there could be some BIG teams struggling this time.

Well I was always expecting a really tight game. I've seen some really poor showings for opening games with England. Even our beloved 1990, 1996 teams started slow. Who knows what would have happened had Uri Gellar not moved the ball for Gary Macs penalty? We were pretty awful before that.
And I was impressed with 30 mins but the rest was pretty poor. Lot to work on.
I think Foden, Bellingham, Saka should swap roles throughout the game. Not sure why Saka has that role when we don't have any left footers on the left plank?
But had we not have won there would have been big pressure on. Now we can go into Denmark knowing a win will be job done.

Is it just me or does Southgate have this weakness where he asks his team to sit back and defend a 1-0 lead? It cost us the Euros last time and it very nearly cost us a draw against mighty Serbia! Having said that, the much fancied French were very lucky to win considering they didn't score!
I fear the Denmark match may turn out to be a bore unless Southgate let's them off the leash?

Perhaps start with Anthony Gordon instead of Foden, Watkins and Toney instead of the tired looking Kane Gallagher or Wharton instead of TTA and have some method of attacking down the left as it were non existent v Serbs

Can't see anything wrong with that RTF but is Southgate like Evatt and too stubborn to change?
We certainly need someone on the left who can also get down the field and put pressure on the opposition. Saka certainly gave them problems but with two able bodied attackers like him would be great. Anyway, Thursday will dawn and we'll have a better idea of Southgate's thinking. If we turn up as we did in the second half against Serbia, we're going to have problems with some of the less fancied teams who have nothing to prove. Romania were rampant and and with an ability like that, we could learn something.

He’ll stick with the same players I expect and I would too to be fair but if it’s obviously not working and to keep some of the others nvolved I’d like to see a few changes earlier if we’re ahead. I certainly wouldn’t be leaving a talent like Foden out though as surely he must come good at some point whatever position he’s played in?

Have to ask though
Why when we go a goal up are we pressed back like Serbia did It’s been all Denmark since we scored and I can see an equaliser if we’re not careful
Come on ENGLAND 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴

Goal coming from the old adage ‘if you don’t buy a ticket you can’t win the raffle’ What a hit that was
Wake up England

It’s not the first time Pickford has been done with a 20 yard screamer Tchouameni for France in the World Cup

SOUTHGATE - Get Rid and quick
I honestly don’t think I can stomach another season of EvattBall I was hoping England would bring some light relief to this shit system that Evatt plays but either he copies Southgate or vice versa
