    Yes, despite the confidence and momentum they’ll have, we’re still a superior team and the weaker of the three, at least on paper.

    Probably the guillotine.

    Just to clarify, you know my point re Southgate was sarcastic? Think you do from your post, but want to be clear - there’s a few posters I don’t want to be in the same boat as.

    It will, and while it’s likely results will change over the next 55 minutes, as it stands it’s France for us, which is the worst case scenario.

    How is this happening?! Hungary is winning is an unexpected surprise that we wanted pre game, yet it’s now a negative as we’re currently facing France as they’re losing!

    Hungary are really under the cosh though and I’m not convinced they’ll hold on considering there’s 70 minutes left. If they do and France win, then it’s a perfect storm. Even our under qualified, negative (yet twice semi finalist) should be able to put out a team to beat them.

    Just read up on it and it sounds pretty interesting! What channel/service is it on?

    Running

    I also get frustrated with people who blatantly refuse to move even slightly out the way, even though they can either see or hear you coming - not sure what kind of weird point they are trying to make. I’ve said it a few times, but even more so with people who refuse to acknowledge you’ve moved...

    Oh dear, that will piss a few off. Better start overall.

    A few players out and the bench suddenly doesn’t seem as strong, in terms of game changers. Sancho (on Dortmund form not England), Rashford (inconsistent and injured?), Bellingham (albeit from a deeper position) and DCL who’s been poor.

    100%. Still be nothing compared to a Cov game though fortunately!

    European championships 2020 thread

    Kane has been badly off form the last two games, but he has to start as on form he’s a difference maker and the only way he’ll regain form is by playing. Plus, DCL has been poor the few times I’ve seen him, so we essentially have no alternative. On the Southgate issue, last game was slightly...

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    Definitely not time to panic on the lack of signings front. We know we were in for Collins and Paterson, two players who would improve the squad, and the starting XI in the case of Paterson. We also know we’ve reached out re Gilmour. All signs of positive intent. We also heard from Boddy...

    Transfer Rumour Billy Gilmour

    I still wouldn’t rule it out. However well he performed last night, it won’t change the interested parties too much, he was hardly an unknown talent. Chelsea and Gilmours requirements will still be the same as they were pre Euros.

    Tonight was a terrible lacklustre performance, and a very disappointing result, but in a lot of ways it’s also a game in isolation. We won’t play a Scotland again. That isn’t an excuse for an overly cautious display, but some balance on the we’re crap and might get knocked out argument. Kane...

    Agreed I said similar in an earlier post. Not sure what he offers. Walker was shite last game though to be fair so seemed a good call on paper.

    European championships 2020 thread

    I like Southgate, he’s been positive in many ways for England, and I tend to see the rationale in his decisions, but tonight has been very very poor. Foden off was bizarre, keeping Rice/Phillips likewise, and Sterling too.

    Admittedly I don’t watch much premier league football, so it’s not based on much, but am I missing something re the Reece James hype?

    Poor performance so far. Front three have been poor. Time for Grealish, maybe for Phillips/Rice and drop Mount deeper. Potentially look at Sancho (although he’s poor for England) or Rashford for Sterling at some point too. Kane is non-existent but DCL is poor so we can’t really change him.
