Gareth Southgate wears a life jacket to wash his car.
🤣🤣🤣 Great comment!
He also puts on a hat and gloves to open the fridge
I've heard it said he parallel parks in GTA
He eats his toast over the sink
Wears a hazmat suit putting out the bins..
This was the real group of death... nearly died watching it 😂
Yeah, three 1-1 draws, two 0-0 draws and a 1-0 win
Excellent 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your dead right. I'll be surprised if they reach the quarters. Can England play like Spain? That's like Everton vs city
I personally call it the "Group of Sleep". I use England games to cure my insomnia. Thank you England!
Was the first time I fell asleep watching a game so far😭
Loving these podcasts. It’s refreshing to see them all being themselves without BBC constraints and the banter is great.
100 percent. It’s absolutely brilliant
Is SouthGate watching ??? That’s the million dollar question
Thanks for the entertainment gents. Good to see you are giving your honest opinions and the banter is a breath of fresh air. More wine next time 👌
You must be starved of great punditry to rate this. GL spent the first 10 minutes trying to justify the rubbish we saw from Southgate.
Completely hypothetical but imagine Klopp in charge of this England team.I genuinely believe they would win the tournament.Yes international is different to club but Klopp would totally get the best out of every player and play them in their right positions.Imagine an English team on the front foot,being aggressive & exciting
i dont think england would dominate, there are lots of competitive sides in modern int football. England under Klopp might be winning 2-1 versus leaving teams 0-0.
Klopp could get something done but now he's the chilling on the couch one
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ffs 😂😂😂
Klopp isn't used to managing a squad of 26 Englishmen, nor is Guardiola or Mourinho. They would come up against the same limitations, why do you think that all top Premier League teams buy foreigners? And what they preach can't work when you're only meeting up with your squad a few times a year.
@@oldskoolmusicnostalgia England's national team is full of skilled players therefore the PL doesn't have to buy English players from abroad. Pep, Mourinho and Klopp are used to manage them or to play against them
Southgate rotating our No.8 to improve things is like changing your socks when you've shit your pants.
Spot on.
Last time I shit my pants I had to change my socks to be fair.
😂😂😂😂
Best comment
I once shit my pants whilst changing my socks. Good times I think.
Lampard in the background, as depressed as all of us, and he's a f*cking millionaire. lol
He's a Tory. Perhaps it's sinking in.
Give him the job
Don't mention his name!! The fa are likely to bring him in to replace Southgate... I wish I was joking
Lol I thought the guy on the right was Lamps before I spotted him on the left.
he's a genuine fan !!
Those old enough will remember Cloughie not getting the top job, because his face didn’t fit. Southgate is a £5 million quid a year cardboard cutout who won’t rock the boat.
It's crazy. What on Earth has that man done to deserve £5M a year?
@treble20 being a bang average firmer PL defender
He looks like the Marlboro light man
100% agree with Gary about the format, when the Euros only had 16 teams the group stages were so much more exciting and higher quality - letting x number of 3rd placed teams through with this 24 team format creates a load of dull and tedious games. Teams like England, Netherlands and Italy shouldn't be able to get through the groups playing as crap as they have.
It's an excellent idea, less meaningless games.
This is a very short sighted view because it's coming from an "top tier" side view.
Are you kidding me? The "extra" teams have been nothing but amazing. Your idea that top teams will always remain top is ridiculous. Its very simple, step onto the field and show what you got. Bring your game son
Georgia have beaten Portugal, two heavyweights in France and Netherlands drew, Austria and Romania won their groups, your reasoning is flawed
I think both the old format and the new format have their own appeals. Now there are more games to boil the competition down to 16 teams, which makes the games to go from 16 teams to 8 teams more important (the round of 16, just one game. In the old format that would be three games). We've essentially just shifted tension away from the qualifyers to that extra round. Considering smaller countries now have an opportunity to enjoy participating under the spotlight, rather than obscurely in the qualifyers, i suppose I slightly favour this format.
Bringing Anthony Gordon who’s the quickest player in the entire squad on in the 89th minute was an insult
And I keep hearing about a lack of energy lol. Perhaps Southgate will give him 2 minutes next time.
Actually embarrasing
Cmon Gareth, I, the Prof, has been asking u since May to play 3 CB's w Kyle as RCB & Trent at Right Wing Back.
We need more fast 1-2's & energetic movement.
Trent is this generations Pirlo & Hoddle & he can unlock any defence.
Gordon & Palmer have been on fire.
Kyle-Stones-Guehi
Trent-Rice-Jude-Saka
Foden-Kane-Gordon
Use Palmer Bowen Eze as impact subs.
Walker is easily the quickest but whatever u say
@@alexjrhodes92 Walker used to be, now Gordon is in the squad he is the quickest. BBC Sport did a vid proving it
Micah throwing the old "how many have you had to drink?" at Gary, when he and Alan look completely smashed compared to Gary lol.
They really do 😂
And when Micah clearly doesn't understand a thing. "I put Bellingham or Mainoo". "Which one?" "Bellingham". "So you leave Mainoo out" "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING". Ok...
I love the casual vibe of this show, and the banter.
I love it that they were all a bit pissed! Hilarious!! These guys are the best thing about the Euros!
So ture
"If I was a cynic...." Alan strikes again. Love the guy.
I’m glad he called it out. There’s no way anyone should be encouraged by that game in any way. Gary clearly just trying to make up for all the criticism he’s had after being overly negative
@@jackwoods3664 I mean i dont blame him, he got isanely grilled for his critisms, but we all know that hes still saying it was a shit performance
Gary bottling it and Shearer calling him out is the best part.
Love to see TV pundits without the shackles... post vino. What they really think.
Gary is as fake a person you will ever see
@@t.d6379shut up.
England finished top of the group and the English fan are still complaining.
@lsmlsm2115 and we are correct too. Southgate is going to fumble yet another major tournament that we could win with the great squad we have. The performances are not acceptable fact
Can u imagine Klopp with this Team ???
It suddenly dawned on me when I watched the England game last night that itv's theme tune is a dodgy remix of "The Never Ending Story" which is quite ironic because watching England feels like a never ending story of mediocrity
While the bbc one reminds me of a weeknd ripoff 😏
I heard that 😊
Mainoo, palmer & Gordan have to start for me they were so much better then the starters
Cmon Gareth, I, the Prof, has been asking u since May to play 3 CB's w Kyle as RCB & Trent at Right Wing Back.

Gordon yes but the other two no. Once that left hand side is more involved, move Foden to 10 and drop Bellingham to 8 next to Rice he is better there anyway. That is the only change needed imo. Maybe bring Palmer on at half time but Saka has to start
@@benwalsh3920why does saka have to start?
@@CTOTHERWhy should he not?
@@benwalsh3920 lol mainoo was our best midfielder so far in 3 games with 45 minutes and he linked with palmer better than any other player has linked up.
It’s baffling how Southgate can be the only one in the country who can’t see Bellingham playing next to Rice. And putting one of the lads who have played at LW all season for their clubs. Solves the balance issue completely.
I know, it is so basic. Bellingham picking it up on the half turn and driving forward would make us much more dangerous. Southgate is embarrassingly under equipped tactically. I think he actually needs to go and do his coaching badges again. The only reason that the players were marginally better is because they were already through, pressure off
Rice seemed to avoid taking any responsibility bringing the ball forward. The second half he seemed to actively avoid showing for the pass. I would consider replacing him with Mainoo or even Gallagher if he played like that for me.
Do you have any idea why he wasn’t trying to receive the ball from the defence in the later stages of the match?
Totally agree with you. Micah's team is the one I'd play but I'd keep Saka in there and bring Palmer on to absolutely run riot against tired legs in the second half, he'd leave the defenders on their backside
I think Southgate might have thought "I'am going to put the players where prefer to play". And Belligham has became a monster in Madrid playing up front and scoring goals. ... And goals are a like drugs once you try it you are hooked, playing alongside Rice Puts him far away from the opposite goal.
So the thing here is wether Jude is OK to play deep or not, knowing if he wants to make history he needs to score goals.
that might work against the tinpot nations but against the big boys no chance
a) jude hasn't played there for a WHOLE YEAR
b) too many ball to feet attackers, distances will be too big, resulting in countless transitions
c) buildup will suffer even more... jude isn't an expansive passer, deeplying playmaker nor range passer, can't control the tempo like a kroos/modric
Bellingham should learn energy conservation from veterans like Zidane and Pirlo by watching their clips during tournaments on how they jog n walk around into excellent positions instead of wasting his energies running into every blade of grass of the football-field.
Thanks for the great Pod again. The best was Garry being clearly effected by the wine, love that. more wine before recordings. Even me being from germany really appreciate these talks!
Lampard just quietly sitting in the background is golden
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro just wants his wine
Worrying about what his wife might be up to.
@@treble20weirdo flex but ok
@@treble20wdym?
So glad Alan called Gary out about fear of being criticised .
I know its time to tell the truth we just want the football not all the woke stuff from England
@@theavengers01 what do you mean by woke stuff?
Yeah he needs to as he put it "say it as he sees it" they can't put in those 3 performances and expect any praise,but it's not the players fault they're being played out of position it's Southgate and now he's being too stubborn to change it up which is gonna cost us when we meet better opposition, bringing Gordon on in the 89th minute is a joke I'd have told him to go take a flying fuck if he tried to put me on with one fucking minute to go absolute disgrace
@@TC8787-yq7og he means ghet pathetic stuff
Its pathetic isnt it. He will call him a yes man next 😂@@TC8787-yq7og
Great format and discussion.
This is great, I just watched the kick off & all they do is defend their favorite teams players or say they’re the solution to the team, this discussion actually gives you a better understanding of what is happening
Why are they struggling? Southgate is still manager. Saved you a 40 minute watch, you’re welcome.
Funny how every Englishman who knows an ounce about football has known for years Southgate is terrible.... except for the English, ex player football pundits.
Gareth scapegoat and the worst fans in the world 😂
@@hyywe240 You think he's the scapegoat? Are you serious?
@NotoriousJawz no I'm actually very stupid. I think england should win every game 5-0 and the manager should pick the players I want every game or he's useless. When the players look scared and drop back, I blame it on the manager. When they actually play well and do the attacking things everyone wants, i still moan unless it's 5-0. When my team wins the group, despite players like rice, bellingam and kane playing very badly, I am still angry and upset and blame the manager for not winning by more points. I live a very sad life and I find football hard to understand
@@hyywe240 wonderful and succinct summary of the majority of England fans 😉
Cole Palmer was easily the best player on the pitch and he was only on for 30 mins, this kid is fearless and we have to start him in the next game.
@@jamiewm
Said it before the Euros, he’s a special talent. A game-changer. Given half a chance this kid will be talked about as one of England’s key players moving forward, just watch..
Once we get shot of Southgate!
He’s more likely to start Pickford upfront
unfortunately we can only dream, but at least palmer will come on as an impact sub
20 minutes*
Palmer Gordon mainoo. Best players of the game
For the next match we need to do something like this:
Trent Stones Guehi Walker/Saka
Rice Mainoo/Bellingham
Palmer Foden Gordon
Kane
It's about time these 3 do a Live Podcast for the audience. Who's with me?
The difference maker in the second half was Mainoo. He was always making himself available to receive the ball on the left, on the right, in front of the defence and even making forward runs. He appeared to be the most proactive midfielder England had in that second half.
a difference maker?
@@barryb8208he means he supports man united 😂
@@niohnewold399 But England still didn't look like scoring a goal until Palmer came on.
I’ve only been saying this from day 1 the solution to our midfield is literally kobie Mainoo he is everything we need in a player that breaks the lines with the ball weather it be a pass or beating a player he’s been doing it for united the whole second half of the season !
England would have won if they changed the settings to no offsides. Some unreal offside movements
Southgate looks both ways before sitting down.
and he piss sitting
Hilarious
love these podcasts 🔥
I totally agree with you, Gary, about Jonathan Liew. Super writer. Very poetic. Try to get him on the show.
Why didn't you bring Lampard in to chat about the game, seeing him for the whole 40 minutes having to be quiet and watching from afar was ridiculous.
It's their podcast. Probably don't want to have to pay him lol
Actually thinking about it, are they using BBC paid for space to do their pod?
he's gonna be in one of the next ones.
Cause Big Ears likes the sound of his own voice too much!!
Because they can’t do modern media. They have been doing old media for soo long they don’t understand that they can do whatever they want.
@@michaelkemp6857he's been interrupting and talking over Micah a lot lately.
I'm half french and half english and today I'm depressed, both playing a poor brand of football.
But the French can lock in, not sure about England
At least your Frech side has won 2 WC and 1 Euro in the last 30 years unlike the other side. They(France team) know how to Cook and let them cook
France really puzzling. Its like no one else can do anything apart from Mbappe.
@@mpg3946 Barcola was exciting to watch with Mbappe at least
We might both stink out the final
I agree with Gary about the format. They have created an unnecessary extra knockout stage by allowing 3rd place teams to qualify which I think is absurd. The best format was when it was top 2 qualify and go straight into the knockouts at Quarter Final stage.
It’s the higher ups as per usual interfering with a format that has been spot on for years just to extract more money out of the game. It’s as simple as that
I get what you mean but at the same time I think it’s also a way to give the third place finishing team a second chance
It`s a way of squeezing more money out of everybody.
@@therunawaykid6523 nothing to do with that I’m afraid it’s pure money
EUFA needs the mony
i like you guys include all the staff and give them their flowers, love micahs energy , also talks sense , amongst two legends gary and alan🙌🏼
Even as a German, it is a sad sight to see. England has the potential, but the tactics and positions are awful
One of your journalist said Southgate was like man owning a Ferrari and driving it like clapped out Trabant.
That’s what hurts the most. Seeing every other big countries commentary teams & players absolutely clowning England due piss poor tactics
@@matthewcoombs3282that is pretty true actually
@@matthewcoombs3282Southgate would choose a Volvo over a Ferrari
If England had Nagelsman they would be in with a great chance but with Southgate i don't hold out much hope.
Imagine playing super defensive when you know the other team is also going to play super defensive. The tactics are killing this team.
Football can be hard to understand eh tim 😂
They didn’t play super defensive
Imagine winning the group and only conceding one goal
@SimonFlynn-un1ur imagine thinking the way we've played so far will cut it against one of the bigger teams.. as soon as we play one we'll be conceding more than 1 goal.
Declan rice is the issue here ironically the only midfielder we haven’t tried is probably the answer to Englands problems rice isn’t a good 6 he’s to timid and slow in terms of passing if you knew football you’d know that’s the position that sets the pace and dictates everything everyone says attack is the issue but when the midfield play the ball to the attackers the defenders are already back in position and then there’s only so much they can do, such a little detail but do big but that’s football if they played it quicker more specifically rice as he’s meant to be the dictator I don’t blame rice aswell as a good manager like arteta saw rice can’t play there the answer is Wharton but he most likely won’t get a sniff so enjoy more tired football
Bellingham registering 1 chance created and 1 shot on target in 3 games - getting praise
Trent creating the most chances and actually playing well in an attacking sense - gets pulled and ridiculed by England fans
No one is ridiculing Trent - people are ridiculing Southgate for experimenting with a right back in central midfield during an actual tournament
@@yingyang1008 you’re joking right! Have you not seen the hate for Trent after the Denmark game?! Everyone has said it hasn’t worked yet he’s created more chances than Balon Dor Bellingham
@@cpw182 I don't think he's a central midfielder
That doesn't mean I hate him - it just means I think the manager is a clown
Trent will always create chances - that doesn't mean he can play central midfield at the highest level
Would you seriously play him there as part of a two for Liverpool in an important game - cause Klopp didn't
It's not his fault at all that someone played him out of position
frank just chillin in the back is so good, like your mate waiting to hang out while you do your homework.
Gareth's meal deal is a Plain Cheese Sandwich, Ready Salted Crisps and Still Water (Tesco Brand)
Ready salted crisps? salt is way too risky. He goes for the carrots and houmous and throws the houmous away for being too spicy.
None of them spoke of Gordon’s impact on ITV.
Did more than Foden, Bellingham and Kane in 4 mins
All the subs were over egged Slovenia were knackered after 70 mins of running
Pissed me right off. Only wanted to talk about Mainoo/Palmer
Not surprised. Roy Keane sounded more like one of those traveller call out videos than a football pundit. Let’s all just hope GS is keeping our Anthony fresh for the knockout stage.
Foden was lively tbf. Bellingham is the problem, he’s played too much football this season
Foden was admittedly better than previously and looks tidy at times. Actually played the wing a bit too. Trippier was doing my head in though, only one ball into the box from multiple opportunities. He could have been a key outlet but he just kept playing it back
Amazing as usual, best podcast going. Please do an uncut version, we want all the laughs, all the swears and all the banter.
Gary Linekar gaslight so hard that he's being that positive. Shearer calling him out.
fun commentary haha
Who is Gary Linekar?
I honestly felt the same...I can see the team that finished the match playing properly in a proper game. Noticed France haven't scored a proper goal yet? Noticed Germany nearly lost the first proper game they had? The Dutch got battered by Austria? We're not the only team not setting the world alight...
ove how he's taking the p*ss of the situation.
@@bagpussmacfarlan9008
So if Scotland wasn’t a ‘proper game’, does that mean the only ‘proper’ side we have faced is Denmark?
France have been scoring set pieces because they have been attacking, allowing them to win them in dangerous positions.
Holland didn’t get battered, and they also made wholesale changes to their squad and still almost managed to get the same result as us (a draw, but actually scoring) against a much better side than us.
Yes, few teams have set the world alight, but that doesn’t mean we should settle for the kind of abject performances we have been putting in, especially when the first half hour of the first game have proven what we are cable of producing, but even since then, the shackles have been firmly put on
Remember when Danny Murphy said Gareth could be United manager, shame on him
He's a Liverpool fan. That was your first clue.
@@solskjaer1195Exactly. Wishful thinking.
Mainoo was great- 1st half was the worst of the tournament 2nd half showed signs we could click at some point.
Southgates press conference after the games are more worrying than anything else
You just have to love Gary. Best trio of pundits really. They just compliment each other so well
The only reason it looked better was because they let us have the ball and we just passed it backwards and side ways for 90 minutes!
Agreed, id rather see a team take risks and fail than play sideways for 90 minutes.
Saka got the byline twice against Serbia one cross produced a goal for Bellingham and the other Kane hit the bar with a header.
Yet we along with other teams at most levels continue to permantely pass the ball sideways and backwards and everything is played in front of defenders nowadays and easy to defend against.
I rest my case your honour.
We had 80% possession in the second half and did nothing with it, I don’t understand these people saying we played well that half
Yeah still amazes me that Greece somehow won the euros playing by passing it around at the back and scoring one goal each game, easily one of the biggest shocks for I’ve seen when they won the whole tournament beating France and Portugal on the way
Look, I would rather get knocked out playing a high press attacking style of football than the style we have been playing
Somthing to get behind rather than watching side side back back every game. Slovenia sat back they were there for the taking and how many chances did we create. Most of the shots on goal were from 40 yards straight at Oblak
Totally agree. What, the strategy is not to lose!? That's not a strategy. Defense is one half of a strategy to win. The other half? F..cking press and attack. Score. Win.
The great irony of this is that England now have the easiest path to the final, even after being the shitiest team of the tourney. All they probably need is one good game, in the final. I’m not sure they would get an easier path in any tournament, in the future. Heartbreaking watching them.
I wouldn't. I'd rather win! It's not a beauty contest
@lukesenior4563 We aren't going to win playing the way we are is my point. Would love nothing more than to win
The defence hasn’t been a problem up to this point but it bloody well will be from this point on if they continue to play the same way
"ENGLAND 🇬🇧; GIVE US SPONTANEITY & TARGETS ON GOAL." ❤🇬🇧❤
Is "shit" gonna be upgraded to "fucking shit"? im all ears Gary
So is Gary lol 😂😂😂
We played a dire team and was marginally , and I mean marginally, better than when we played a good team. I'm not sure how that is a positive...and failed to score in this one or create one decent chance. It's absolute nonsense being spouted. Just lies.
Genuinely one of the worst game and performances I've ever seen. Slovenia did not just sit back and defend like is being said, they used the counter attack very well.
So's he
Anyone that still thinks Jude is a natural 10, needs their head tested. I’m pretty sure Gareth is catching on, too. He must’ve have a word with Jude pre-game and told him to vacate the central space more, and allow Foden to come inside, ‘cos he spent a lot of time out on the left, but even then he was clueless, he’s just not a forward line player, you can tell how awkward he is operating along the line. There was a couple of times where Foden, Palmer & Mainoo were playing one touch the edge of the box, as soon as they involved Jude, the move would break down, he’s just not on that wavelength, he’s way better at driving forward, being penetrative and direct. The only thing Jude done decent last night, was a slide tackle (which people said he couldn’t do 🤦♂️), and drive forward with the ball once from the centre circle, in the first half, gave it to Walker on the right and a half chance was fashioned, but he’s absolutely not a 10. Everything Jude does well is the hallmark of an 8, and everything he does poorly just proves why he isn’t a 10.
Exactly the hype needs to stop there are better forward line players than him
Id play him #6 but then I'd also play saka LB and trent/tripps RB in a 5-3-2 so you can probably ignore my thinking. I would put Walker right side of a 3 at the back allowing stones to step out. Bellingham Rice + whoever. Foden 10. Kane up top.
@@animateit4642 he performed well in Madrid so why play him at 8 to accommodate Foden
@@eoghangreene5728Saka LB absolutely no chance, the time for “experimenting” is over, please. Imagine playing Saka LB in a knockout game of a major tournament when he’s never spent 1 minute of his career there, unless I’ve missed something? System is fine too, you just need to move Jude deeper, Gorden left, Foden central like I’ve been banging on about all along.
It’s like the Lampard Gerrard thing all over again. You can only accommodate foden and Bellingham together effectively in a 4-4-2/1-1.
I could listen to theses guys all day.. Great show lads..
Just play it on a loop and you can ! Thank me later
This podcast has gone up a level for this tournament! A must listen! Love it
Imagine having Lampard sat there and having to listen to Micah Richards talk about tactics and finding new ways to give Phil Foden the good old sky blue reach-around
Yeah, Lampard's managerial and tactical acumen has really shown its worth in recent years, hasn't it?
Trying to determine if Frank looks pissed off because:
A) Another woeful England performance
B) Lineker, Shearer and Richards are giving him a headache; or
C) regretting not putting a bet on the election date
😂
Just listened to the first 6 minutes so far and couldnt agree with Gary more.. Absolutely spot on..
I distinctly remember Gary Lineker being a big champion of Trent in midfield pre-tournament
@haalandoate - hE'S TRIED IT AND IT'S BEEN A TOTAL FAILURE, NEVER MENTION IT AGAIN
Gary obviously been told to tone it down because that game was worse than Algeria and Iceland. Absolutely nonsense.
Alegria was rough man
He doesn't seem to be alone with that view though tbh. I thought it was absolutely turgid and I'd be really worried if I was someone passionate about England but I've seen a fair few saying they saw positive signs at the end. I wonder if that's just because they've called for the likes of Gordon, Mainoo and Palmer to come in and want to pretend it made it made a bigger difference than perhaps it did (no knock on those players, Gordon in particular came on far too late, didn't really think Mainoo did much of anything though).
No way was that worse than Iceland
Whos telling gary to tone it down?? Its his show 😂😂
@@xXOblivionXx1 His family and friends?
Play fucking Gordon on the left wing & play Foden central in number 10
Send Foden back to England. Palmer needs all those minutes
@@omardevonlittle3817 Foden is going back home. You've got your wish!!! lol
Given that Southgate bases his tactics on that table football game with the bars... any vertical movement is forbidden... I suggest he employs a couple of giants who are able to tilt the playing surface...😂😂😂
Loving this podcast, keep it up lads!
Great podcasts, lads 👏
Gordon made 1 pass that split the hole team
That was an absolutely epic pass, the one which went about 40 yards from defence to attack right along the ground? What a bit of vision through the crowded midfield. Glad someone else thought it was worthy of mention! It was top class!
Southgate bird-avatar as a dove😂
Gary Lineker - Crow
Alan Shearer - Kite
Micah Richards- Cockerel
"Do you know who we were playing tonight" 😂😂😂
Not a single person would have played Trent or Gallagher! Literally every fan and pundit was saying play palmer or Gordon down the left. Put Bellingham next to rice and Foden down the middle as 10. The fact Southgate thought starting Gallagher would make a difference to an awful system he’s set up beggars belief. It’s all so obvious and painful to watch.
He then brings Trent on a right back and he shows his defensive woes straight away. Then puts palmer on the right, and only gives Gordon a few mins… what next.. Pickford upfront?
Agreed. It’s rare that pretty much every fan and every pundit are in agreement-namely that foden on the left wasn’t working but he persists. If he doesn’t believe what his own eyes are seeing he could at least believe the united voice of EVERYONE else
Correct answer
Yeah, why on earth would any person choose to use trent? It's not like he was the creative outlet for a team that amassed 103 from a possible 105 points and broke the record for the most assists from a defender. That would be a fools move in a team with a lack of creativity
@@benparry7791he looks like a complete howler waiting to happen...I don't trust him anywhere near defence
I honestly think Jude sees himself a number 10 and Southgate is scared of upsetting him. Foden is the best number 10 we got and that's from a united fan
They would do same thing if Foden played as no. 10, it's clueless, rigid, and passive tactic from Gareth despite having so many arsenal or options in England's squad.
@@bimapriambada1098not if we play Gordon on the left and Kobbie next to rice. We’d have a real midfield and Fodden at the ten would fly
@@ajclannachan playing Gordon, Palmer, or even Mainoo don't change or soleve the problem with if Gareth still using his wankerish tactic. I'm sure England will go through Semis at minimum by seeing how quite easy their bracket now.
Bellingham should be dropped. He isn’t our best and most important player. But because over the whole season people like these guys have been hyping up to WC standards, we feel like we cant drop him. But we can.
@@Ryan-ep4py Bellingham looks mentally and physically knackered. Just play Fodden at the 10 and take off Jude. They’re treating him like he’s Ronaldo or Messi. He’s not. He’s had a long season at Madrid and he’s been really poor the past 3 games. Rice and kobbie in the middle.
Gareth Southgate puts the milk in first when making a cup of tea
This is wonderful stuff!
The real competition starts on Sunday. England has always struggled in the group stage. Gordon and Palmer brought something last night. Gordon's sub was too late and should've been the same time as Palmer.
Sorry? Gordon and palmer? Don't you mean mainoo and palmer? Mainoo showed his the midfield 3 and palmer 100% but gordon???
Which should have been 10 minutes earlier
@@martynclay7748 Gordon had two minutes and still managed an incisive forward pass, few other players on the pitch can claim the same.
@@martynclay7748 You do realise that in about 6 minutes Gordon provided more creativity and attacking intent than Gallager, Bellingham and Saka in the entire match...
We generally struggle in the ko stage, too. At least we have for the past 56 years.
Micah. likeable as he is, obviously isn't the brightest candle. The 3rd place thing with Netherlands was quite clear as Gary explained it.
The guy is a walking laugh track. Nothing more.
He did say he had 5 glasses of wine to be fair and I don't blame him, last night deserved 5 bottles.
@@NotoriousJawz True :-)
I agree with Gary! We are close to sparking!
Actually, as a german, there is nothing better to watch as english pundits talking about the english team after a bad game ;)
It's hilarious tbh
Germany can look forward to Spain in the quarter finals 😂
Do you see England and Germany as football rivals? Why. England never win anything they are always terrible. Where as Germany are only sometimes terrible. Not this time Germany would beat England 10 nil
@@mabm4310 We're crap and we know we are. I do love banter though keep it coming
@@mabm431010-0?! Is that it
Gordon only being brought on 89th minute is a disgrace, but in that short space of time he still managed to show us what we’ve been missing on the left. How does Southgate not see this? I love Bellingham but something hasn’t seemed right with him last 2 games
Why would a manager bring on any player for that brief few minutes. Besides time wasting it’s utterly pointless.
@@mikem9309 Even wasting time doesn't work any more as it will just be added on. Another megabrain move from Southgate from the 80s
Southgate trying to break up the game, disturb the Slovenian rhythm and secure valuable 0-0 draw.
@@glynhayes5930 Slovenia were doing nothing whole 2nd half. Except sitting behind the ball and say come at me
@@Jabarri74 probably doesn’t come across when written.. I was being sarcastic lol
very generous analysis there Gary, agreed we were better than the previous two games but we were still dire (DIRE)
Love the banter these boys have !
Owwww the banter
Come on Gary we shouldn't be seeing 'signs' 3 games into a tournament. It has been this way for 8 years!! Southgate is too scared of losing to ever win
The old saying “if you aim low you’ll hit it every time” what are they going to achieve?
He's not defending it. He's just saying they played a little better. You guys are really oversensitive.
@@abdvs325I think they all hate Gary because the daily mail told them to.
Seeing these guys un-rehersed and off the leash is great. A few glasses of wine, a bit of banter and some colourful language. Brilliant.
This is like 3 tipsy blokes in the pub talking about the meaning of life
An improvement was great. The amount of people calling them shit must have had their confidence at an all time low under Southgate. I appreciated it.
‘Trying to put a positive spin on it’ says all really!
I wish we were more positive. Lineker was spot on
Hardly a positive spin he just said they played a little better in the second half when the subs came on. You guys are really sensitive.
He's running cover for his inept friend (Southgate)
The 3 games have been awful. The problem is that it was very predictable! We simply don't create chances and the left hand side has been dead! I can't recall a single chance from the left! That's why I still can't believe Southgate decided to leave Grealish out of the squad. Simply stupid!!
Alan hit the nail on the head with Gary’s analysis 😂😂
A little bit of reality is needed, we are not as good as we think we are, always looking for positives, just turn up, do your best, job done no need to polish turds etc , ffs we were lucky to lift the wc once, some countries will never be able to say that, be grateful for what you/ we are and enjoy it ❤️
Gary just bottled saying anything bad after the players came out against him, yesterday was fucking awful, saying Southgate has it in him to press high despite him never once doing that years is laughable, he clearly doesn’t.
Kobbie Mainoo has to start the next game.. Palmer has to start the next game.. Gordon has to start the next game..
Southgate must see it and if he doesn’t make the changes it shows how stubborn he really is
then who do u drop foden or bellingham?
@@SpyroCSH personally for the next game I would drop Bellingham.. controversial I know and he is an amazing player..
Over last 2 games he has looked leggy and has been trying to do everything so I reckon needs a rest.. put him on the bench and bring him on for half an hour..
I just think Foden will do more damage in that number 10 role..
Just my opinion though and folks are welcome to disagree
@@SpyroCSH I would have Gordon on left.. Palmer on the right.. Foden in middle and Kane up front (or maybe even Watkins to start)
Rice and Mainoo in midfield with Rice being allowed to go forward …
Love this. A hammered big Meeks trying to argue for 14 players to start. Amazing.
Remember guys be kind or someone might cry
Hey, they have feelings
naah Kane is a git
Lol "wokeness" might get England to two Euros finals?
Was PC not strong enough for Beck's and Rio?
Have Germany copied England's "wokeness"?
Will Greece?
@@shadow_realm47 Google translated this into english for me and it still said Kane's a git 🤣
@@Jabarri74 :P
I'm so happy Alan called out Gary on the BS!
Called him out on something false. And then Alan said the same thing Gary did
What BS? He was 100% correct, we played better 2nd half than the previous matches
Take a shot every time Micah says ‘at times’
Gary Lineker, captain of that truly great England team that scored so freely in the 1992 Euros.. remember - the one where England finished BOTTOM of their group; drew 2 (both 0-0), lost 1. Scored once (PLATT).
Guess what top class players need a topclass manager!
A half decent manager would do at this point
Is it me, or is Lineker half-pissed on most of these Euros 2024 podcasts? I agree with everything Shearer has said about the England format.
SOUTHGATE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
there were no real positives - still lethargic - no movement, noone taking control, no invention
Gary got shook and turned into a kitty kat after those comments from the England team.
"Denmark haven't won a game" is true, however, their best player did medically die in the last Euros
And that player who medically died looked like prime zidane and ran rings around jude and rice when they faced each other 🤣🤣🤣
What’s that got to do with now?
@@Wut3225totally agree, irrelevant comment by the poster.
The most irrelevant comment award goes to 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
You
What’s that got to do with anything
In times like these, it just makes u appreciate how good the likes of Gascoigne and John Barnes were.. talent that could change any game. Let’s hope this team improves
The marble table they're all chatting around looks more exciting , very solid , and more balanced than Southgate's recent 1st team England selections .
Ironically we were all concerned about the defence before the tournament! 😂
The team's too rigid... sure, it's made us harder to break down - but it means we can't advance the ball at pace... Foden would get more success playing with a team of trees.
