He was anonymous....but even worse....he looked like he didn't want to be there and his attitude was shit.

Three or four times he went over cheaply in the centre circle and just sat there for 30 seconds to a minute doing nothing but whinge while play was still going on around him.

His poor attitude and over-inflated ego are well-known things at Borussia. Guy is all about himself. You don't see it as much at Real cause he's got Carlo, Kroos, Modric, Carvajal & co to answer to. But no way he respects/fears the ENG jeffe the same way...same goes for his teammates.

This morning I read in a German football magazine that a young man wants to use his law studies to report Gerath Southgate for crimes against football.

What's so frustrating is that is a peak moment for England - you'll never have a Kane / Bellingham / Foden situation again. Kane will get old and it's past by.

It was the exact same issue 20 years ago when England had Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard.

What that team needed was a Michael Carrick type, not shoehorning all three of them in the team. Least of all shoving one out wide (cough cough Foden/Scholes).

Almost like these coaches are scared to upset the apple cart instead of doing what's best.

It looks so far like a cracking Euros Tournament! Much respect to the Germans for being so hospitable!

Thank you very much!I'm very happy when the guests feel comfortable here - apart from the big problems with public transport - we are definitely European champions in that regard (chaos on the train!)

It's just a great feeling when football fans from all over Europe celebrate together!

That’s what Jonathan Liew said last night on SSN.

They all (including Kane) want to be the 10 and be the main man in the middle

Limited coaches. History would have been different if Hoddle hadn’t said those stupid disabled comments, was ruthless and knew how to fit players in a system.

Here we go. Black player poor attitude.

Kane has been absolutely shite. Gets the ball, falls over. Repeat.

Rice was awful last game. Fodens been quiet. Tripper has done nothing. Southgate takes the cake.

But no, its Bellinghams attitude.

Southgate absolutely shagged 5 at the back in his first few tournaments. This seems like the perfect tournament for it with a lack of fit left back yet we're stuck getting dominated in midfield instead.

Pickford
Stones - Guehi - Gomez
Walker - Wharton - Rice - Gordon
Saka - Bellingham
Kane
​
Even something like that would see us look better. Gomez comes across to left back, Walker drops to make a back four and Saka moves outside whilst Gordon also keeps natural width.

If only we had some friendlies before the tournament to try it out.

I'd dare say that Trent as a RWB with Walker in the RCB would also work. If Gary has to shoehorn Trent in. At DM it is not. 🤣
