I think the players want to do well and win a trophy with England. My guess is that this is one tournament too far for Southgate and his lack of tactical and coaching skills is a problem for players who are used to better at their clubs. I suspect the decision to omit Grealish and Rashford and the fact 12 of the squad are at their first tournament has also shaken the group up a bit.

We need Luke Shaw

It doesn’t mean much though when they have never been involved with their local team. All three of them got picked up young by our annoying neighbours.

Anyway, we don’t need them :lying_face:

Yeah, must be frustrating if you’re a County fan, still 2 promotions in 3 seasons ain’t bad.

Bellingham being investigated by uefa for lewd gestures towards the crowd with the possibility of a ban.

Being a Liverpool fan i dont like Jordan Pickford and thought he was behaving like a twat but then I remembered that playing for Everton he rarely experiences being on the winning side so its kind of understandable.

Seems mad that the country’s #1 is a from a club regularly in a relegation battle but thats the state of things these days i suppose.

Belgium are worse bottle jobs than us ffs

I see the kopites are out in the comments above ^^^

Of the players who’ve started every game for England at this tournament, I’d say that Pickford is the only one who I couldn’t criticise. He hasn’t put a foot (or hand) wrong.

Guehi has caught the eye at times - looks like a great defender - but even he’s made mistakes and even managed to get himself a ban for the next game.

All the other starters have either made mistakes or looked lacklustre.

Not Pickford. Still far and away England’s best goalkeeper.

Palmer is from Wythenshawe

Here’s a thought: VAR for simulation and then yellow cards.
There’d be a few given to the Portugal team.
If the VAR shows you weren’t touched, automatic yellow. Bosh.

Okay Stockport & Wythenshawe, Rashford’s from there as well isn’t he?
So could have been 4 if he’d made the squad.
Anyway i’m blaming Andy Mitten lol

It’s not the quality, he’s a perfectly adequate goalie, and god knows he’s been our saviour many a time in the past, can’t fault that. It’s the massive levels of constant drama. If any other position on the pitch were screaming at their colleagues like he does I think we would hear about it.
