I can only assume because the game was so bad that there's nothing else to talk about. Armstrong clearly steps across the defender to deliberately initiate the contact. The defender can't simply disappear. Not a penalty in a million years.

It was ruled out on the pitch.

VAR review every goal regardless so no conspiracy of "putting it to VAR", they have to give what they think is the correct decision on the field. Ref would have thought he was impacting the keeper which lino obviously can't tell, clarified it with him & that he was in an offside position &...

TAA can play as an inverted RB or on the right side of a midfield 3 with Liverpool & is surrounded by pace & runners to find with his passing range. England have none of that. It's mental to be "experimenting" with him in a deep lying midfield 2 during a major tournament. Similar with Kane...

Again, every thing he has said there is correct & there are many challenges he faces but it's his job to come up with solutions. As he admits himself, these are not new problems & the fact we've begun the tournament without a clear plan is not good enough. It was his decision not to take...

Don't disagree & the fact that he admits we're "experimenting" during a major tournament is a concern. Phillips' form & fitness issues have been known for a long, long time. Wharton could be the saviour but I don't think he's brave enough to trust him.

Yeah. I don't think they were instructed to sit back so much tbf. They looked shattered & so lethargic. Combination of lack of fitness & tactical familiarity leads to zero fluidity. As I've said (for years now!) it's a horribly imbalanced pool of players. The favourites tag is baffling.

Agreed. There's nothing wrong with what's he's said there, he's right. That's his preferred system & it's served us well in the past. The flip side, & the fans argument, is they don't want us to play that way. The below interview was some months ago now & I think is pretty fair. Since then...

No surprise. Was on trial with Norwich earlier in the season.

Utterly abysmal.

Big fan of Chris Sutton's preview of the France v Netherlands game:

Yes he had to do something but not that. He's made a career out of tackles like that & could have seriously injured Gundogan so hard to feel too sorry for him.

Maatsen in the Dutch squad for the Euros.

Yeah, he's a good player. I expect he'll be the starter up front for Romania at the Euros. I'm led to believe it's whilst scouting him that we spotted Sakamoto though so... Every cloud!

This is great
