And its partly why we have no chance of winning it ..Good sides will exploit us with ease
I find the whole 'why are we playing two DMs' question a bit puzzleing to be honest. We have four attacking players and are comfortably winning. This is how we are playing in the Euros and we have one more competitive game after this.
Christ this is boring.

Who would u play over Shaw. I like SakaLuke Shaw turns back towards his own goal too often, due to being so one footed. As a result, he often stops any forward momentum. We had the ball for ages at one point, so determined were we not to give the ball away, yet even though we got the ball to the edge of their box, rather than be the one who risked anything, our player would happily punt it 20 yards back, and it would end up with Maguire/Stones. Yes, we were in no danger of losing, but it feels like a lot of players have been overcoached in the one on ones to not take a player on. That's where the manager needs to allow the players off the leash. Not make them frightened of playing an attempted killer pass, or dribbling.
To be fair we play most if not all our games at Wembley.How anybody has us favourites for the euros in never know
That is an advantage agreedTo be fair we play most if not all our games at Wembley.
Not that I disagree with you point. Based on the last few tournaments and competitive games I’d put us behind France, Portugal, Holland and Belgium. It might also be that 3 of them are in the same group, so one is likely going out.That is an advantage agreed

Boothroyd is terrible , he has to go , can't have young developing players under his watchJust watched a bit of the under 21’s the future is not bright there. Boothroyd is well out of his depth there. Cantwell on the bench with Brewster who hasn’t scored all season and the goalie is Sheffield utds no saver.
England have played two games and not had a shot on target.
No, not really. Remember Sancho wasnt playing today. I'm not sure what side Southgate would have else picked today.And its partly why we have no chance of winning it ..Good sides will exploit us with ease

I largely agree with that article, but it’s a little far fetched to claim Rice couldn’t play that holding role himself in a game where we had 75% possession. I’m also not sold on Kalvin Phillips at all. Yesterday I’d have played Rice and Mount, or even just Rice and Ward-Prowse.

Germany aren’t what they were and Italy are rarely backed by the bookies these days.
Come back with this after the euros ..we will see how it stacks upThink this article (and the reaction to it) is aimed at a lot of you in this thread

Forgot 3rd qualifies. If I recall didn’t Portugal finish 3rd in 2016? To IcelandI would guess the France, Germany and Portugal group will be one that puts through one of the best 3rd place teams. Having said that Hungary aren't a bad side either!
Yep. Drew all 3 group games. Only won one game all tournament (Wales). Would certainly take dull football like their fans had then if it meant winning a tournament.Forgot 3rd qualifies. If I recall didn’t Portugal finish 3rd in 2016? To Iceland
The problem isn't the players Aidy

What a way to fire the players up. Jesus.
He's begging to be fired and about time, get someone who doesn't think it's 'impossible'
