Group C: Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England

The fact that Cole Palmer hasn't played any minutes yet, after two games. Sack Southgate mid tournament.

Also, why isn't Ward-Prowse in the squad at all? That team was crying out for a proper midfielder.
 
Rice, Bellingham, foden in midfield. Gordon on the left. If he starts Arnold or Gallagher next game he deserves a mid tournament sacking
It's as likely to be Gallagher as it is to be the exact same team that started, probably with the reason being "the team started well really, just lacked concentration" or something.
 

A group of players with the talent this current lot have can't play as badly as that and not expect people to be confused/annoyed about it?

The manager is terrible and he always has been. We don't have a prayer of beating any of the top teams with these sort of tactics and performances.
You are right - but we hear this from England fans every two years.

Is it really the case that you always have great players and a crap manager?

Because that's how it appears from abroad...

They have TRENT mate. He's reinventing the midfield-inside-fullback role, pioneering it really.
 
Could it possibly be that just because a player plays in the Premier League, he might not actually be a world-beater?

England have some very good players. Two of them play abroad.

The rest? I'm not sure they are quite what some people (and the money men) crack them up to be.
Kane and Bellingham probably the poorest tonight. Lot of blame on Southgate and coaching.

Would be surprised if this isn't the team next time out. Shearer isn't wrong here, If you play Kane you need runners around him. Gordon makes a lot of sense.
 
Southgate is so negative, Palmer and Gordon should start the next game,

Kane is carrying a back injury apparently

We go. 1-0 up then Denmark have 77% possession in the first half , not a trophy since 1966 embarrassing.

Yes, because they keep having to select and play players that are out of position or garbage because of their name/team, and rely on the raw talent of a star or two to carry the team.
