Game 17: Denmark vs England live from the Frankfurt Arena. BBC1 5pm

[Baptista_8]

Absolute insanity not to take Grealish, and to give no minutes to Palmer or Eze, Southgate so out of his depth it's just beyond belief by this point.

I hope we are just conserving energy for the latter stages, but er I suspect not

we did this in Qatar tbf. Our best performance was against France despite the L.

Tbf there's a bit of that. Bellingham got outmuscled by Eriksen FFS!

[titchuk]

(Jinx incoming sorry): For all the talk of us being slow and deep, have Denmark had a sniff really? 

[aiston]

Good effort Saka there.

[TheWednesday]

Gallagher  Just f**k off man.

[Smallen]

Gareth has had enough of Trent here

[Lucas]

Gallagher AGAIN?! Why?! 

[Redshift]

OK good sub

[SouthCoastRed]

Gallagher again ffs

[Darren Moores Mum]

TAA has been awful and it's really not worked in midfield. Don't do it again.

[davehanson]

Oh good. Gallagher again.

[Baptista_8]

Lacking quality, let's put some graft on

[Anthrax Dave]

Get off and stay off, "Trent"

it absolutely should be Wharton or Mainoo. Which means when it happens it will be Gallagher 

Would ask for lottery numbers if it wasn't so predictable.

[Mr Adam]

I mean nothing against Gallagher but I find it ridiculous that it’s him and not Wharton or Mainoo

[Ackter]

Imagine if you'd fired Southgate when you had the chance.

[skybluedave]

Hopefully proven wrong but I don't see point of Gallagher here

[Haguey]

Bundle of energy and works hard, right move here I think

[craigcwwe]

Hopefully that’s Southgate admitting the Trent in CM thing doesn’t work. 

[kopsy101]

If Saka manages to control that, it's a goal. Either way, almost a great recovery.

Great pass Trent, guess it's time to take him off  

[arenaross]

Finally a midfielder. 

[Smallen]

I mean it’s clear we’re lacking energy so the Gallagher sub makes sense in that regard. I’m not sure it helps our attacking play though.

[Pukey]

Could really do with a win here so we can try Wharton/Mainoo and show they're better than Gallager/TAA

You know he will be wheeled out for game 3

[VP.]

We will improve with Gallagher on, feel a bit sorry for Trent as he's just not played enough as midfielder.

[Anthrax Dave]

[Redshift]

Cole Palmer on for Foden methinks.

[Andrew_]

That's an inspired substitution. Game changer. 

[Darius1998]

More like it from Foden.

As long as it helps our attacking players actually do some attacking then its fine

[Pukey]

Foden's definitely been way more involved today

[TheWednesday]

That's where Foden is at his best, not forced out on the left.

[Lucas]

Yeah this for me too. 

Is Trippier offering anything in this set up? Why not swap him out for Gordon and go with a back 3.

Nothing against Denmark, but they are distinctly average, and they're making us look mugs ffs

Yes, I think Denmark have been poor as well. Kristiansen a liability in defence and England should try to send Saka more often. 

[TalkSport]

That’s the positions you want Foden to pick the ball up.

The worst overall midfielder out of him, Mainoo and Wharton but he runs around a lot…….must be Southgate’s emotional Henderson replacement

[Goldy]

Finally some pressing!!

[titchuk]

I wonder if there's a Danish OTF where they've all been going mad too and applauding Damsgaard coming on. Cos they've not been good either.

[Bigwig]

Kinda think Southgate’s happy with this. Stay as it is and go into the last game top of the group with it in our hands. 

[Robson 07]

Trent's a defender that can't defend.  And a midfielder that can't midfield (you know what I mean). 

[Rio_V]

When does this inane TAA experiment stop?

[RTHerringbone]

At least we've got the best chant of the tournament.

Ok, was only for 2 seconds, back to letting them pass is around casually

[Rebs]

Hell of a ball from Kane there.

Probably, their fans say a lot of the same things about their manager that England fans say about Southgate

Steady, he's not yours anymore

Not sure it will, the problem is the huge amount of pundits who are ex Liverpool players who will continually bang the drum that TAA isn’t an international level RB but that the England manager “needs to find a spot for him”

[themadsheep2001]

Should have been Wharton imo, though would have been happy with Mainoo. Not happy with Gallagher but at least he's a ****ing centre mid. 

[Haguey]

Agree with what Rob was saying earlier, feels like any semblance of a system has gone away and we're relying on moments of quality from Jude/Foden/Saka to grab a goal or hope the ball falls to Kane's feet, it's a dangerous ploy
