England - Lee Carsley Takes The Reins

[simongarnerisgod]

we do appear to be playing at a higher tempo

[toogs]

It’s like watching Rovers.

Kane needs to go. He's a huge strain on this team

[jim mk2]

Poor touches and passing all over the field. Gallagher looks like a poor man’s Lowe at this level. Note to Southgate: Foden has never been a left winger

There must be something up with him, he's been moving gingerly all tournament.

With the ball we've been shocking but very good without the ball, at least we're getting the effort in.

Bellingham is becoming a diva

What does Gallagher add to this side?

Much the same as what our Gally adds to the Rovers.

It’s just my stock grip with my football teams.

There’s no real excuse for not playing Wharton in this match. Gallagher is about as effective as Jason Lowe would be at international level.

Well our pressing and pushing up the pitch has been way way better and that at least I guess is partly him.

lad is out of his depth at this level,could have palmer on  further up the pitch

[roverandout]

Never seen a more shocking England player than Gallagher

Yeah but he’s been worse than Trent was on the ball.

Nugent? Shawcross? Bothroyd?

he`s the 2024 version of carlton palmer,i.e should`nt be near an england shirt

[DE.]

Foden the pick of the bunch so far. Kane once again not at the races. A bit more energy about us in the last 15 minutes but it's pretty sad that this is even worth mentioning.

No

Slovenia are technically better at passing the ball. Says a lot for our superstars!

It would be different if Southgate had a brain and played Wharton instead of the pony tail ponce

Yup, the whole team has been atrocious on the ball. Id actually say Bellingham has been the worst player on the pitch, absolutely hopeless.

Id get Wharton on - exactly what we need here.

[London blue]

Gallagher providing exactly what he has done so far, energy and not much else.

This has been poor, for all the same reasons as the last two games.

[roverandout]

 Beginning to really dislike Bellingham.  He's a show pony

Wharton and Gordon on and move Foden inside. Gallagher and Bellingham off.

One thing I’ve noticed. In the prem the 90s were the last resemblance of men playing football. We used to get penalised more as international refs weren’t used to our blood and thunder style. The foreign influence with diving and cheating tarted it up to the point the prem is now the biggest pussy league going. Even now internationally our players more than any other nation are going down and complaining to the point of refs ignoring it. Quite the turnaround.
