This is awful. Southgate has his tactics and team selection all wrong. Again.

Who are the moderators on here - I'd like to DM them about posts being hidden.

Rashford missed a gilt edged opportunity, that would have changed the game. At the moment Wales are happy to sit in a 4-5-1 and currently we don't quite have the fluidity to break them down. We don't look like we've played together much.

Shaw has been the best England player at this World Cup by an absolute country mile.

But I was told they're on a jolly to Marbella?

Why is Kane undroppable? He's terrible for England.

For anyone reading this thread wondering who we got - it's Norwich away.

Nobody has run in behind him yet. The better teams will.

I thought Shaw was by far our best player. He put in two delicious set pieces - Kane missed an absolute sitter.

I hate to say it, but Bale and Ramsey looked old.

Imagine not taking Ryan Hedges. Wales are a poor, poor side.

Beale is off to Rangers, apparently. Loyalty.

Agree to disagree. I think he unbalances the formation. He's a great player, but he's meant to be the tip of the spear. How often do you see him dropping deep for the ball, or floating out to a wing? Too often. He's too used to playing with Son making runs beyond him.

Back 4 isn't good enough to win this tournament. Bellingham is good, but he's desperate to play as a 10 which leaves us short in midfield. How Foden doesn't start is beyond me too.

Are you ever not miserable?

Why did you think Qatar would be better than that? How many professional football players does that country even have?

Looks like he's found his level - hopefully we can get a fee for him in January.

I thought Leonard looked quite tidy when I saw him play in pre-season. Is he not highly rated?

He's the best player I've ever seen.

That's a no from me.

We pump £3m a year into the Academy, it'd be foolish not to use it.

I've only cried twice about football - the first time we were relegated from the Premier League and when we were put out in the semis of Euro 96. I don't care as much as I used to about England, but I'll be watching.

He'll need to improve the midfield and forwards to truly play how he wants to play. At the moment he's making do with what he's got. There's no way he came here to play 3 CBs and Pickering as a WB (or indeed Hedges), but here we are. He finds a way to squeeze Hedges into the starting XI because he's one of the few players we have that finds space and can control and pass the ball in tight confines. If we're serious about promotion this year (I don't think we are) we'll go and find a Keinan Davis on loan in January (we obviously couldn't afford him outright) to lead the line - the ball sticks to him and he brings others into the game.

No.
