This isn't working and Southgate won't change it until far too late.

It's not coming home.

Sometimes you just come up against a team that are better than you mate.

Like Morocco… a better manager would adapt to the situation / opponents in question

Needs Wilson upfront.

Atmosphere of a £#%&!ing pre season game this

£#%&! me England are boring.

So passive, Where's the aggression?

Have you not heard the old adage about teams being the image of their manager

Anyway. Easy work so far for France. They’ve pocketed all Englands attacking players.

A goal just after half time for France and that’ll be it I reckon.

England keeping their fullbacks deep because of their fear of Mbappe and Dembele which means the midfield players are having to come across to provide the width leaving us short in the middle.

Commentators trying to claim kanes foul was a penalty

Bring on rashford ! England are shite. First real team they meet and they go into their shell. Need a kick up the arse

Thought England were considerably better for 30min after the goal, only problem is the personnel in the middle of the park aside from Bellingham are utterly pedestrian from a footballing brain perspective.

Rice is all athleticism & no nous, Henderson covering so much ground but utterly bereft of anything approaching an idea when it comes to an attacking idea.

Bellingham is excellent but when you only need to give a shit about one player in the middle it makes it a lot easier for the opposition to manage you.

Bin Henderson, move Bellingham back & stick Rashford left & Foden central. Show some £#%&!ing intent - 45min or you go home.

It was a clear foul. Think it was outside though.

His foot was outside but the contact was high on his calf which I think was at least on the line

Suspect it’s another VAR £#%&! up

I think it was outside, but I would I guess

Ahh right. The one on Saka was a foul too. The ref has been utter dog shit.

No reason why the ref missed it as a foul mind

Saka and foden need to step up. Anonymous.

State of "Hendo"

Well that one is
