Group C: Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England

[Jebus_lives]

Incredible that England didn't take Branthwaite as they wanted a 'front foot expansive' centre back and then spent 60 minutes backs to the wall defending against Serbia.

 

[gonetomorrow]

No longer favourites for the title I'd imagine.

"They'll know they have to perform better than tonight"

Definitely.

When Pickford finally makes a mistake in an England shirt, and it stands to reason he will, the response from all non Evertonians will be off the charts. Pundits and fans alike have been willing it for years. They want it to happen for the pile on.

And it's international. Watching this in Finnish and apparently "Pickford's antics have been nervous again" etc.

If they can see this out then it’s 3 points at least, but Southgate needs to go back to the drawing board with the tactics and lineup I think

It's difficult to find the right tactics when the centre forward puts in a 3 out of 10 performance and is barely involved

That's not me defending Southgate, but Kane has also been extremely poor

 

[Rita_Poon]

Definitely.

"it was a good test to get warmed up into the tournament"

 

[everton fan number one]

Serbia love a long shot

 

[Papa Shango]

Bellingham has been poor second half, so no issue with taking him off. Questionable replacement though.

Can’t believe we’re up against a defence of absolute carthorses and Gordon and Eze are still on the bench.

Their defenders play for Fiorentina, Sevilla and Bremen, it's not like they are postmen or farmers etc!

It's like the semi against Croatia or the final against Italy. Early lead, clinging on, unable to keep the ball. Difference is, Serbia haven't scored. Oh so England.

Worst team in the world we should be breathing these 8 nil I can't believe this we should Carling Guinness whiskey

Germany 96

 

[Mozza1987]

Woeful display this

 

[Azza]

Almost like England need someone who can do something different off the bench... like Grealish.

A bit generous there.

Compare England’s slow monotonous passing to some of the stuff we’ve already seen from other teams. Chalk and cheese. Too ponderous from England.
