For all of England’s woes, this made me chuckle:

We shouldn't be surprised by how England played. They've been poor in all their recent games. How many times did they go back to Pickford for the big hoof?

Surely better options than TAA in midfield. Wharton? Maybe even play Bellingham at 8 and Foden 10 with Eze on the left.
Thought Kane was pretty poor also, albeit he was unlucky not to score 2nd half.
I think you'll see Gallagher start ahead of TAA next match.

Southgate is just awful.
England have a super talented squad and a really good manager like a Klopp/Pep could win big international tourneys with this group.
But under Southgate, they look horrendous.

Yeah Gallagher ain't great but he's a million times better CM than TAA. Got to find a way to get Palmer on the pitch too after the season he just had.

I think Trent is comfortably better than Gallagher in any position. I’d start him at RB though and drop Walker who looked a bit meh. Then get Wharton in midfield.
England were fine this morning, did what they need to do. I don’t remember any tournament winner ever firing on all cylinders from the first game.

Just don't see it with Trent, looks a fish out of water in the CM.
Put out wide where he's damaging.

I'm surprised he didn't come on for Bellingham, Bowen did look pretty good coming in at RW though.

I thought he was fine this morning and can’t help but feel he is being positioned as the scapegoat for when England go out. Against good opposition I’m not convinced either, but I still would have him there over Gallagher who to me is just bang average.
Wharton is the one that should be next to Rice imo.

But Gallagher is a battler at best. England are creatively stunted as it is, you cant take off their most creative player in Trent.
I'd just play TAA at RB. The whole he cant defend thing for me doesnt wash. We dont win every trophy possible if he cant defend.

Yeah I'd be playing Palmer through the middle where he's more effective.
Sterling turning to shit is lighting a big hole on the left with all the attackers better suited in the middle or on the right.

I agree that neither are the answer next to Rice.

TAA as right back adding to midfield in possession only works if a defensive mid drops to cover him. Southgate isn't tactically aware enough to do that.

Southgate will just kill this England team when it counts.
He’s not playing RB when Walker is a better defensive winger.
TAA is a central minded player, which Klopp protected with VVD and Matip as the full backs.

That’s why Jude is number 10 not that fake 10 Foden. Actually surprised Southgate picked his best lineup was convinced Trent wouldn’t start and thought he might cave to the clueless Foden 10 calls

Holland good win near the end. Denmark rued all those missed chances and **** England looked shit. The thing is we got the win and that's huge in the Euros and especially after the draw in the previous game.
France tomorrow you beauty.

lol Foden is really low iq when Trent releases Walker and Walker cuts it back brilliantly Foden tries to get in Kanes way to score instead of going back post where the ball was delivered
