Jude is having a mare of a tournament really, isn't he? If he's not Bellingham he'd have been dropped by now.

Stopped playing after the goal in the first game, can say that about most of them but he has been the worst of them

This game would be ****ing great for Gordon...sub him on now.

 

Half the Slovakia team will be off.

He should be pulled back but tbh if he can't be bothered and is playing like he is above it then I'd rather not play him at all

Agreed. He seems super tentative and off the pace. Palmer is chewing nails on the bench. Let him play. 

[InigoPatinkin]

I don't understand why Walker tucks in and plays narrower than Mainoo when Saka has the ball... Give him width and draw the men away from him.

You can make the arguments individually, but there has to be some consistently across the competition and this has been totally over the top compared to every other match I've watched. 

Mainoo was the same as the second yellow for the Czech player Barak, the yellows have been fine

[Ronaldo Beckham]

I won £95 off a bookings double on Bellingham and Mainoo after 16 minutes. Anything else that happens now is a bonus. Including England qualifying to the next stage 

[Darren Moores Mum]

Walker FFS

[sc91]

Your so unbalanced and it shows. Slovakia are well within a chance here.

[Pukey]

Every time the ball goes down the left the attack just completely dies

[Haguey]

Walker has been generally okay this tournament but he's been a disgrace so far tonight

[aiston]

Another chance to counter...we just pass it slowly instead and let the opposition get setup defensively

 

[Novem9]

After this Euro I will be less critical of AI in FM. The cowardly tactics in FM are recreated very realistic tbh  

[Heartwork]

Not watching cos of work but I hear England are playing at their trademark lightspeed pace

[skybluedave]

So should have started Mainoo from start if tournament. Makes us better

[JJ72]

At least we are more attacking this time. Problem is we look awful aw the back too

[RTHerringbone]

Honestly, not having a left footed left back in a nation of 56 million is really something.

Wasn't that the same referee? Or was that a different game? 

[aiston]

Every time Trippier has put a cross in, it's been fantastic....only happened twice this tournament though

I don't understand anything that Walker's done this game technically or positioning. Best thing he did was resist the temptation to not give away a penalty against the winger he'd given the freedom of the left of the pitch to

[GunmaN1905]

[Haguey]

We seem a touch better going forwards but at the expense of being diabolical in defence. So many basic, basic errors too that players of this level shouldn't be making

[TalkSport]

LOOOOOOOOOL

[Constantine]

Golazzoooo

[Wavelberry]

Been coming...

[Darius1998]

Schranz again!

Doesn't want to upset the consistency of the team. The consistent dullness.

[Orzelek]

Yes!

 

Get in!

[Rick87]

Ah

[arenaross]

Hahaahha. Fair play to Slovakia, hard to argue they don't deserve it.

[CFuller]

What a surprise.

Ivan Schranz. More clinical than Harry bloody Kane.

[VP.]

Why the **** has Stones gone for that original header, ****ing useless.

[SouthCoastRed]

Hshahahahahs just bloody awful all round

[metal_guitarist]

Well that’s been coming

Such a liability right now bc trippier just isn’t useful. 

[m_fenton]

Ffs, just abysmal.

[skybluedave]

Just pack up boys. 

[RTHerringbone]

Hysterical 

[Rebs]

Terrible

[JJ72]

Carved open like a turkey at christmas

[TalkSport]

Two CBs going for same ball. Walker in no mans land. LAUGHABLE!

[aggressive minor]

Gareth is such a **** manager

[Coulthard's Jaw]

That defending is quite something

[Bootador]

[sc91]

Called it.

This thread is going to be juicy tonight.
