This is comfortably the worst we've looked under Southgate at a tournament. He clearly has no idea how he wants his midfield set up or the qualities he's looking for in a partner for Rice. He's played TAA for his ability to play balls in behind, only to play no forwards to run onto it. Played Gallagher cause he can press, only to realise he has zero ability on the ball against a team sitting deep, and then hauls him off at half time. He's obviously decided Bellingham needs to play as a 10 as he did for Madrid this season, despite it being obvious we need his quality further back on the pitch. And the lack of a fit actual left back is totally obvious to all.

It's a mess. There's a chance we make the quarters if it's Czech next round, otherwise the Netherlands will dump us out.

No need for this.
You serious?
What is it thats upset you? Is "black Palace defender" not a reasonable description of a player?
You’re either being disingenuous or thick….

He has a name. He’s probably been our most consistent player across all three games. I wonder why he’s being called out? The whole post stinks.

Southgate seems to be the only person in the world who thought taking 1 injured left back to the tournament was a good idea.

We might yet win still as there's no stand out team, but it'll be a painful greekesque grind, rather than total football dutch glory.

Only if there was a white palace defender playing as well, but even then he could just say Guehi. He's also been excellent, so the post is moronic as well as racist.

Guehi defensive and all round play has been one of the few England positives in this football tournament.

I'd never heard of Guehi before this tournament as i dont follow the PL much.

He's made mistakes in a couple of games, which are more noticeable because of his position.

Seen this so many times before. All we need is the senior players to sit down and decide how they want us to play, have a meeting with the manager and tell him their plan, and we turn things around overnight.

I dont recall anyone ever being banned for such a thing and I'm not going to start now.

I dont believe there's any intent there to cause offence.

Long suspected to be a parody account by Nice Username who, I'm pretty sure, doesn't have a history of questionable/racist boardin' activity.

I’ve foed him anyway because faith has yet to make a coherent post and adds nothing. Will leave it there as it’s pretty clear what that post was about and if a mod wants to ignore it then there’s not a lot I can do.

The only thing I will say is it’s a pretty common trait of bis and racism where black players get called out more for the same things white players do. On and off the pitch.

So you admit you need lessons. Good. The first step is always the most difficult. Who is providing these much needed lessons?
