Game 40: England vs Slovakia LIVE from the Arena AufSchalke. Sunday ITV1 5pm

[The_jagster]

Guehi just letting him run ffs

[EnterUsernameHere]

Hahahahaha

[aiston]

Sack the useless **** now.

Southgate hasn't a clue at all.

[Pukey]

Think we've looked better in attack, but we've been horrific defensively tonight and zero surprise we've conceded.

[Haguey]

70 minutes left Gareth, do something

[metal_guitarist]

Stones is already two on one, why would you go across there? So poor 

[Anthrax Dave]

Shambolic defending 

[Heartwork]

This is Southgate's 2016 moment isn't it.

[ThanatosAFC]

Sunday League defending

[Citizen Sandman]

Honestly I just laugh. ****ing **** 

[TheWednesday]

That's that then.

[Rio_V]

Not hard to believe, but still infuriating. 

[Bootador]

They've literally got a 4 on 3 from a half way line nothing pass, where the **** are Rice and Mainoo

He actually fouled him. England are lucky that guy has scored. Otherwise, it should be a penalty + red card.

[TalkSport]

Make changes NOW Gareth ffs. Get TAA and Gordon on ASAP.

[arenaross]

Glad we conserved all that energy in the group stages. 

[georginho_juventusygr]

Guéhi didn't track back fast enough.

England.

He's writing his resignation letter as we speak.

Hope he finishes it by half-time so we can get Potter in charge for the second half.

Gareth is such a **** manager

No, no he's amazing. He's won all those competitions...oh...beaten all those great teams when it matters...oh.

[Wavelberry]

This comeback is going to epic. Strap in boys. Time for Southgate to 'Demand More!'

 

[aiston]

Has to make subs right now.

Mainoo is marking his man tbf, Rice is pushing miles up. 

[Baptista_8]

We did have to be careful we didn't change too much! Who saw that coming...

[RTHerringbone]

It's Dunk time.

Oh **** 

[Novem9]

It was beautiful, but Pickford 

[Smallen]

Defending was bad but… Mainoo… just slowly jogging back into the enormous gap he’d left.

Can’t make too many changes. Don’t want to upset the rhythm… or some ****. 

[TheWednesday]

Southgate won't change a thing, bloke doesn't know what day it is.

Oh, you didn't hear, did you? They've removed shouts from FM. 

[Darren Moores Mum]

We'll always have the glorious final defeat though. **** off.

[Heartwork]

I mean you can say what you want about England under Hodgson but at least he tried to change things with an arguably much smaller pool of talent compared to now, even if the football was still woeful.

Think you can kind of understand why our tactics have been to go for 70% possession when we defend like that...

[Bliss Seeker]

Come on admit it, who's secretly pleased if we go out that we don't have to suffer this **** again?

I sometimes think of him as being a rich man's Darren Moore. Except that's unfair on Moore. He's actually delivered in a final.

[Astafjevs]

Oh my

Definitely loads willing us on to lose

[RTHerringbone]

I would actually put Gordon on at left back. **** it. He's super fit so can handle the running and has two 37 year olds on that flank.

[JJ72]

Switzerland want us to win I've heard. We're the weaker team

[Baptista_8]

Where are our passes through the lines? Not seen them all tourny.

[Divinity]

This is brilliant. Long live Sir Gareth.

[m_fenton]

Wtf is this passing around the back meant to achieve? Its not pulling them around or creating gaps, its more likely to lead to a Slovakian chance.

[Redshift]

AMs are too far up. Pointless if we don't play long balls. Might as well bring them back a bit so they can run at players.

Mainoo is marking the midfielder on his side, he's in position. It's the left sided midfielder who is in no man's land (whether that's Rice whoever is supposed to tuck in on the left when he pushes up). Mainoo is never getting anywhere near that second ball. 

[Astafjevs]

A lot will depend on how Slovakia respond to the goal. If they just park the bus they'll be taken to ET or pens at the least. They've offered a good threat here, need to keep that up

I’m seriously concerned for Mrs Rob, she doesn’t deserve this

Foden stinking the place up

Nope. Just angry we've pissed another tournament away on Sir Gareth.

Lee Dixon trolling England makes me laugh.
