Can anyone please explain the hype around this ‘unplayable’ Jude Bellingham Bellingham? ? Belling End more like Southgate’s insistence on sticking with Saka Kane and Bellingham is probably his undoing despite 2 of them bagging our only goals 80 minutes and 30 seconds out first shot ‘on target’ against a side ranked 54th in the world As I’ve said before, 139 goals in our forward line - ONE shot on target Sorry I’m so miserable and negative I’m just so patriotic It’s the hope that kills you 7 minutes to EXIT

Remembering that Einstein statement about doing the same things over and again and expecting a different result
This has Evatt written all over it. Just look at the stats, it’s almost akin to our stats for every game last season Umpteen corners, free kicks, throw ins and nothing
I’d better take back my comment on Belling End he’s just scored Oh my

That was heavy weather
On to Switzerland that’s all I’ll say but I will add, lay like that and the Swiss will do what Slovakia almost did

If it makes you feel better, for sure there were millions thinking the same, just did not put it in writing 10 minutes before the event. I would have taken both Kane and Bellingham off at half time, especially Bellingham as he was on a yellow card.

We are a shambles and like Shearer said, this is Englands identity so we’d better get used to it. That’s a tough statement to take when your a Bolton and England fan as we’ve had a similar identity all last season

Well Bolton rarely play badly and win and used to be that way for England. Thinking of the past tournaments we've been really poor at. 2010 horrible group stages Algeria, USA and Slovenia was it. Then got thumped by the first good team we played.
2014 was already eliminated by the 3rd game after losing to Uruguay and Italy.
2016 Iceland. Says it all.
We were 1 minute away from adding 2024 to that list of horrible tournaments.
I just hope they realise they've ran out of extra lives and need to start turning up.
Tripper can't play LB. I wouldn't start Saka, Foden in the front 3. Would go Gordon for square peg, square hole and Palmer.
I guess Southgate doesn't see Wharton as ready. On form Rice doesn't play but through necessity think he starts with Mainoo.

Southgate's plan is not to lose, and to risk extra time or penalties. He is not interested in attack or he would be playing Bowen, Palmer ,Gordon , Eze, Toney a bit earlier. He loves to play square pegs in round holes - hence Saka at outside right and Trippier at left back. Walker has started to come over as a blunt sword, and Rice is fighting a lone battle, where Bellingham and Foden are offering little support. Slow's definitely the word.

All true but for me our biggest problem is the defence. I really don’t know what’s happened to Stones, he just isn’t the same player we see week in week out. Every time he receives the ball he just stops (We know all about that) looks around and goes sideways to Guehi. Guehi looks around and goes sideways back to stones, rinse and repeat. All the time the opposition press forward until it’s back to the keeper then rinse and repeat again until we eventually hoof it forwards. They’ve done this now for four games and it’s failed every time. Surely Southgate can’t be instructing them to do this can he? As others have said, Trippier is useless on the left and should be nowhere near the Switzerland game but without a proper left back who goes there? There’s so much wrong that it’s impossible to believe that things can change enough but you have to hope it does because we’ll never get a better chance to make the final than we have now.

I don’t rate any of Man City’s players in this tournament apart from the odd one Foden - below average Walker - below average/crap Stones - just crap Rodri - doing ok in a very good Spain side DeBruyne - very poor and out Kovacic - Rubbish and out Gvardiol - rubbish and out Akanji - done ok and ready to face England Ake - done very well so far Dias - not done much right or wrong Nunes - not seen much if anything of him Silva - very average Doku - fits and starts but still poor and out

When I saw 3-4-2-1, it took me 28 minutes to realise, this isn’t the formation, it’s how many passes each player makes on every move forward before someone decides to be brave and actually shoot We’re playing slightly better but Harry Kane is just so off it it’s unreal WOW …. If this isn’t typical Evatt, we have a corner and the ball (3 passes later) it’s with Pickford….. from a corner As I’ve said on a few occasions, we have 139 goals in our forward players and Gareth Boring plays just ONE up front It’s got edgy nervy edge of yer seat 0-0 draw written all over this the way the game is panning out Come on England!! Who are you? 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
