Reading some of the comments on here makes me think I've watched a different game. That was absolutely abysmalI feel as though Iv had a lobotomy performed on my brain having endured 90 minutes of this utter dross.
100%Statement game....... Let's see whether the England team can get themselves pumped up...... Really hope we don't rest on our laurels just because we've qualified.
Win today and then a potential clash against Germany awaits........ That's what this is all about isn't it? Seeing how you fare against the top teams.
I'm now firmly in the Winners go out to win camp, so none of this trying to get an "easier draw" rubbish because if there's one thing we all know about this England team, is that on their day..... They're capable of losing to anybody.
If Mount can’t start due to having to isolate then I’d have BellinghamAll things considered I think this would be close to being England's best and most attacking 11 that could do some real damage:
Pickford
Walker
Stones
Maguire
Chilwell
Rice
Mount
Foden
Grealish
Sancho
Kane
I genuinely think that team offers so much. But we'll never see it, not under Southgate.
He's already mentioned "building for the future......" which is a bullshit excuse fornunderpeeforming at the tournament that you're actually in!He got a pass last time cos the squad was young and inexperienced (as was he).... There ought to be signs of progress and more cohesion; yet we wasted our preparation games and there is none of the former on show.
We're certainly not going to win the tournament playing defensively given that's our weakness.... For the sake of all involved; let's have a go!
