Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Seb Stafford-Bloor and more in the midst of a historic international break.
Brazil break down England at Wembley with a first ever international goal for wonderkid, Endrick. Hear why the Three Lions need two defensive midfielders and why that’s not defensive.

Plus, Germany raise many eyebrows by scoring against France after seven seconds, with Wirtz and Mittelstadt perhaps set to star this summer.

Brutal (and fair) assessment of England's deficiencies by Seb 🔥🔥🔥
For all the talk of improved technical levels in England, there's still plenty of room for improvement.
That statement at the start that people got what they wanted with Connor Gallagher in the starting lineup is just blatantly untrue. I think most people probably feel we should go for broke and have Foden or maybe Maddison in the midfield three.
Bellingham is playing as an attacker for RM. Pointless including a Maddison/Foden if doing so restricts Bellingham.
@@user-zs2ug8no1c but in a completely different system, league and with different players around him. he plays with Kroos and Modric (amongst others) in midfield for Real who can find his runs with pin point precision. england don't have that and internatoinal football isn't the same. he's better starting deeper and drving forward on the ball with players infront of him (every time he did this on saturday Brazil just fouled him and got away doing it time and time again), or late runs into the box. when he's too far advanced for England our midfield players either can't find him with pases or he's got no options in front of him when he's on the ball. playing another attacking player doesn't really restrict Bellingham if they restructured their defence and put in a thrid centre back at left/right back who allows Stones to then step into midfield and become the second holding midfield player alongside Rice and release Bellingham forward from there. Instantly we have more control in midfield more cover at the back and allow our attacking players to attack.
@@matthewdobson100Possibly buy I can't see the Stones idea happening at this stage.
International break makes everything that tad bit dreary, including podcasts. Maybe should schedule some Inter Totally action in these breaks or quiz to keep it active 🤔
The midfield would be fine if southgate picks actual defenders in tomori, guehi, etc who can defend higher up the pitch. Or midfielders who regularly play in the top leagues. Southgates' defence and bazball are yet mroe examples of english exceptionalism. Would be funny if they weren't so pedantic.
England need a player like Billy Gilmour who was absolutely superb the other night (taken off amongst others at 1-0… Scotland really were quite good before that).
Still - friendlies…. Meh. 🤷♂️
Gilmour was the best player on the pitch a few years back in the England v Scotland game at Euro 2020 (I think??) Scotlands midfield dominated Englands and he just controlled it. strange how he seemed to drop out of the scotland side for a while, good to see him back regularly and playing well.
Everything was bad, no ball retention as noted, pressing was terrible and just allowed them to play round our over agressive midfiled in Gallagher and put balls through for their pacey attackers against a slwo back line wth no cover at. Gallagher was so bad I almost wanted Philips back (not really, it just highlighted how much better mainoo looked though).
Watkins offers nothing against a deep defensive line without space behind to exploit.
Chilwell looked awful and exacltly what he is which is out of form and undercooked for game time. but really we should be giving up on having an attacking full back since we can't retain possesion, our centre backs are too slow to cover for advanced full backs (which is where Walker's pace is so critical to how we defend). so often we'd get caught out with Chilwell upfield labouring to get back, Rice trying to cover left back and a huge hole in the middle.
Everyone seems to have loved gordon, but he had no real impact on the game, just running with the ball and then coming back inside onto his right foot to no effect when he couldn't get behind the defensive line (much like Bowen's little cameo later on the right where he just had a few runs but just got shown down the line and boxed out).
Foden is better on the left if not in the middle (shame Palmer was injured as would have liked to see Palmer on the right, Foden on the left if playing Bellingham in the middle), also that's seemingly the only open spot if Saka is basically locked in and Bellingham plays 10 (which, and I might be the only one, I'm not convinced by without better passers from midfield to find him. he's better for england driving from deep with options infront of him or making later runs into the box when advanced players can find him with neat passes around the box, little lay offs and one twos. when he's too advanced to begin with he's either got no support and just has to turn out again or we can't get the ball into him effectively and he starts dropping deeper anyway).
Playing in the current system we need Mainoo alongside Rice in midfield to offer actual protection and ball retention. Alexander-Arnold isn't the answer as he's not press resistant, poor positionally defensively (if he can't get his positioning right at full back he's not going to in the middle) and actually despite being touted as having great passing just hits long balls really so not great for ball retention.
But I'd probably rather see Bellingham start alongside Rice, but with a 3rd centre back instead of either the left/right back (probably left back if Walker is fit) without licence to go forward. that allows Stones to step into midfield and release Bellingham foward which offers more control in posssion (he's more press resistant and better passer than any of our other central midfielders outside Rice) and still have cover in defence. we have the players to do it too, either Gomez/Colwill on the left or White (well if he hadn't been made to feel unwelcome)/Konsa on the right. Then a front four of Foden, Palmer, Saka (L-R) and Kane up top. If that's too attacking against some teams then drop Palmer for Mainoo and have 4-3-3 (Mainoo, Rice, Bellingham - Foden, Kane, Saka), still with the 3rd centre back instead of a full back.
I'm writing before listening but why has everyone forgotten about Eze?!?
Always injured init
I thought England played quite well, brazils Front 3 is freighting on the transition. The goal was so frustrating and looked miles offside, but apparently not, and so a Brazil that lost 3 in a row beat us again 🙄
According to Daniel Storey, it's the players' fault. Nothing doing for their GREAT G. Southgate. Shocking in terms of their analysis, not the fact that we see them like that, but their brainpower.
Midfield is all about balance. You can't have a midfield 3 of Rice, Gallagher/Mainoo, Jude. They are all athletes that can carry the ball but none can find a pass.
Next to Rice you need a passer, someone like Trent who can dictate a game otherwise England will find it hard to get front foot ball.
Not convinced about TAA as a midfielder. Would like to see him in Liverpools mf 1st.
@@user-zs2ug8no1cthen you dont watch liverpool games😂😂😂
@car9melo Joining the mf from rb and being 1 of the mf 3 are very different.
@@user-zs2ug8no1c no it isnt, when you play 90% in midfield
@car9melo were TAA was to play in Liverpool's central midfield say alongside Endo and McCallister (instead of at RB) it would give a better indication.
Name ONE country that would not take offence at the FLAG being changed? Hope you enjoyed sneering. You are sneering at the 90% of your country - though everyone you know is chuckling along.
