Eh, I am changing the channel to the game these clowns are watching. Foden is the best No. 10 in world football? Is he bollocks. Amazing what a competent manager can do. Man City’s players look like the best in the world every week, apart from Rodri they’ve all looked hopeless all tournament. |

Bit better. It just still feels like Southgate won't/can't fix the real issues. i.e. the left side and total absence of movement in their penalty area.
An awful lot of the moments are basically relying on Saka to beat someone.
Mainoo's and the midfield in general has been alright.

That's been as good as it has been all tournament. Saka looks great. Mainoo pretty good. Everyone else has been alright. Definitely more rhythm and fluency to the side. Still a few times when some players are out of position at the crucial moment but it’s better. I think because football is so system based at a club level players are struggling to gel together at international level. Probably no coincide several big sides have looked decidedly average. |

It all just gets a bit static when reach the opposition area. No-one seems quite sure where to run. Yeah it gets painful to watch. I can't help myself saying out loud, "why are you all standing still ffs" |

Would be funny if Gareth switched to a back five during the interval

Saka needs to beat 3 men and find a pass to an immobile Kane in the area or he will find himself on the front page of the Sun as a LOSER 😀

What's really telling is we're apparently 'waiting for a chance to fall to Kane'.
Could he not perhaps make a darting run to the near post or spin away to the far post rather than standing still around the edge of the penalty box and waiting?

I chanced adding an hour to my afternoon nap today to recover from little sleep yesterday, trusting England wouldn't do something I'd regret having missed... Good to know they didn't let me down  |

Southgate wants to do it the French way and get through without actually scoring.

I've played a bit of Hades 2, had a lengthy poo, taken the dog out and done the washing up while this match has been on the TV in the sitting room and feel like I've missed absolutely nothing.
