The thing is we all saw it coming. It consistently happens under Southgate.

If we draw 1-1 playing like this and Southgate says 'it's about qualifying through the group that's important' or blames it on the pitch. This is sh*te for the players we have.

I’ve always stuck up for Southgate but the level of performance at this tournament has been staggeringly bad.

Some piss poor performances from some of our players that half.

TAA, Foden, Saka - all shite. Kane scored but is now playing as a defender. Like others have said, as soon as we scored the instruction is clearly to sit back.

Mad isn't it. And maddening. And you can see the likes of Phil Foden then getting so frustrated, he's trying to take on the whole Danish team single-handedly.

I don't think Saka has been bad.

I don't care that Kane scored, he really could miss, but he's completely stifling us.

TAA off, Bellingham deeper with Rice
Get Eze on left wing, Foden in the 10.
Get Kane off, and Watkins or Toney on.

You can only play high press if ALL of your players do it, you CANNOT play high press carrying one player who doesn't.

Disappointed with Bellingham, he's been poor. Fodens has been the pick or the front 4 and he's been average

Another average at best half. Denmark the better team, better tactics and look as if they want it more than we do.

Just don’t get the game plan with Southgate. Everyone walks with the ball, nothing for Denmark to think about. We’re not closing them so there’s no forced errors - I’d be fuming if it were Cov

He plays like a team fighting for survival in the league. It’s fucking dull and criminal with the squad available.

I don't know what's worse. England's performance so far, or the Tory election campaign.

Once again, we score. Do we push on take confidence from it? No, we drop deep, let them come into it, put pressure on, and absolutely crack. And even then, when they score theirs, it's not because they've put together some brilliant passing move, it comes from us shitting it from our own throw in!

Someone needs to give them a rocket in that changing room. This is pathetic, again.

If he was in the box he wouldn’t touch the ball for the rest of the game seeing as we can’t get it past their midfield.

Bellingham might be good at 10 in la liga where real madrid are miles ahead of everybody and he has the time and space to dictate etc ..

But for England where we need a proper box to box next to rice he should play 8 and we should play foden 10 and bring Gordon in left side .

Shock as right back in midfield doesn't work.

Absolutely awful stuff, Southgate doesn't know how to change it either.

Southgate is clueless, playing a RWB in central midfield is a ridiculous idea. Do we have any other LB in the squad apart from sick note Shaw?

No, not while he’s pinning himself to our own third!

Bellingham has been great at 10 for England.

The issue is TAA is not a midfielder, needs Wharton or Gallagher there.

He's only played about 6 games for England as a 10 hasn't he

He's an 8 first and foremost , played half a good season at 10 and everybody thinks he's Roberto Baggio

All been pretty shit TBH.

No intensity, no quality. It’s got to be coming from the manager.

If he could find an England player with a simple pass first, it'd be a good start.

I think he'll spend the majority of his (very long!) career at 10

TAA just move or think like a midfielder. It's a world of difference playing as a rb that stands in there sometimes to having to be a full time midfielder

That average position chart for England says it all, barely into their half before we scored and all 11 players in our own half after, it's all on Southgate and his tactics
