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

[aggressive minor]

Tbh I think maybe having the old guard of Sterling, Grealish, Rashford, Hendo would have been better ….😒

[TalkSport]

Bowen just not a great player unless it’s running into space.

[dudester]

It's like refusing to put puzzle pieces together TAA would be licking his lips at having runners behind. Also Pickford is awful. 

[Goldy]

Corner taking.......just as important to train as pens

Then spent the rest of the game playing holding midfield.

[Darren Moores Mum]

Soft as **** that

He's direct, at least if he plays like he usually does

good at giving away free kicks and throw-ins

Fixed

[RTHerringbone]

And I hate Pickford. Calm down FFS.

[GunmaN1905]

Feels like Danes have been instructed to shoot from everywhere because Pickford might spill it.

[Ackter]

commentators blaming the pitch now?

[Rio_V]

I am almost terrified if this works bc Southgate then a shoe in for next United manager.😫

Not exclusively a bad tactic.

Yes but scoring a goal is still doing more than running behind a defender  

[SouthCoastRed]

If Denmark score Shearer will spontaneously combust 

[JJ72]

Whole team just panics at the back whenever we have the ball. What's going on?

*Cheers for a Dansgaard goal now*

[kopsy101]

I said the other night that not having players to stretch the opposition makes it far too difficult for yourself. Get Watkins/Gordon in, stretch play, create space for Kane/Bellingham/Foden/TAA/Trippier whoever. 

Likelihood of mistakes goes down, and you've got the physicality to then win it back. 

 

[Heartwork]

Watkins may be the first properly effective sub Southgate has made.

Ever?

[Haguey]

Eze very lucky there

Yes

[aiston]

Officials just giving fouls randomly at this point

I get why he didnt take him on his club form, but Rashford's England form has been decent and a threat behind. Could have done with him in the squad

[TalkSport]

Good job we got TAA/Foden etc off. Quality gone up. 

[Darius1998]

Hope Eintracht are relaying the pitch before the next season begins.

[Vynal Seven]

Are we still favourites?

Absolutely, I think he should have been called up. 

[Pukey]

I know Southgate deserves some criticism, but some of the individual performances have been utter, utter gash regardless of tactics.

[Rebs]

Bellingham has been utter rubbish this match...as have many others.

[sc91]

Still watching in the small chance Shearer explodes.

[Darren Moores Mum]

Rice has been ****ing terrible 

[Smallen]

Declan Rice has been very, very bad

[PaulHartman71]

Not sure why Shearer wants Rice to press high so much. He’s been playing as a 6 with Trent and Gallagher next to him. 

He keeps saying our defenders are good enough 1v1 so just leave him. But they’re not  

[JJ72]

Guehi..sweet Jesus. Maguire would be getting it in the neck for that

[Goldy]

Got away with it, that should have been a goal

[skybluedave]

Rice is not as good as Kroos or Rosri

[Craigus89]

Rice sitting back to make a 5 when they have Paulsen as a single forward is criminal. WTF kind of threat is he to demand having a 5 man back line. It’s so infuriating.

Without a proper structure, they can’t play at their best

For some things, just not winning it

[Haguey]

Rice and Guehi both awful there

So many dreadful performances

Its not a great pass from Rice tbh

[Lucas]

Guehi is great. Superb recovery after a mistake. 

[skybluedave]

Rice undersold him the pass

[kopsy101]

Geuhi very lucky there, boy couldn't decide who he wanted to tap it in

[aiston]

Rice

Awful pass back there.

 

Poor touch from Guehi too but at least he got back well.

Edited June 20 by aiston

[PaulHartman71]

It’s definitely the worst I’ve seen Rice play since he signed for Arsenal.
