if southgate could pick the squad again... he'd pick the same squad.

Ben calling Switzerland a club during the quiz cracked me up 😂

everybody is forgetting and looking past the squad has joe Gomez which can play lb

This is why people should trust Southgate. He used his brilliant tactical awareness to keep Kane and Bellingham on even when they didn't play well, and he put Tony when he knew he would make the most out of it. Sarcasm aside, it's quite impressive how a team with so much talents can play so bad so consistently.

The highest paid manager at this tournament is also the worst one. I can't get around how lucky he's been.

Every single game is just begging for Anthony Gordon on that LW over Foden to stretch the game and get more runners in behind. We haven't done anything in 4 games against a low block to suggest that Foden is better

Ben please cut the crap, we know exactly what the players can do when they come on, we watch the prem every week. It's only that pe teacher who doesn't have any sense whatsoever.

It's really criminal not to talk about Mainoo's performance cause he was simply the best player on the pitch. He constantly showed for the ball and combined well with other players.

Imagine being Ivan Toney. Tells you absolutely everything you need to know about Southgate's tactical acumen.

A can’t believe Joe Gomez is there and not even being considered for left back he covered left back for 4 months at club level why can he not be trusted. He’s currently just there being wasted

Foden goes off and we start to score goals again. Ever since Southgate forced him into the side, the attack started to stink

Mainoo was the best midfielder

33:00 yann sommer plays for inter Milan not ac Milan😂

Walker looks like he is finished

It ain't coming mate. It ain't. That's for sure.

Palmer is fine as a sub coming on, that's what we need him for, doesnt have to start. He can make a difference from the bench, especially when games are going to extra time!

Ben, it's not coming home.. You cannot say that after such a game. It was incredibly bad. We played Slovakia.. We're out next round. 100%

“Surely we have to play better next game” We pretty much say the same thing after every game only to be disappointed. We’re stuck with Southgateball until we’re knocked out I’m afraid

Player of the tournament so far is Guehi, considering a debut defender takes my pick says it all.

It’s not like Palmer came on and was ripping up trees!

Watch out for them round pegs in round holes

And honestly thought Palmer didn't bring much quality when he came on, definitely brings more urgency and puts defenders on their back foot but he gave away the ball quite a bit.

Why the hell does cole Palmer have to start?

Gomez has played lb nearly all season why is no one talking about him

Doesn’t matter who plays, when your manager want the ball to move sideways and backwards.. England is probably out by the end of next round.

Gomez did play left back for Liverpool quite a bit last season but not used either

Really enjoyed watching love it

I was stunned when I saw Shaw in the initial 30 man-squad, he hadn't played since February so obvioulsy was never going to be match fit, that usually takes at least 3/4 games! Chilwell must have been injured, yes, he's been out of form, but that's because he's been injured for most of the season so hasn't had time to get back into, which is another reason as to why i was so baffled about Shaw being picked.

england are averaging roughly 1 shot on target per 40 minutes, which is about 2.25 shots on target per game.

I know Foden has been great this season, but this System isn't doing him any favours, he loves playing on the right, being able to cut in and pass inside on his left foot, hence why he constantly drifts into the center leaving trippier needing to get further forward to provide width on the left, personally i would start Gordon on the left, he has legs and can run all game which is what we need, perhaps have Foden on the bench as a sub for Bellingham if we need to take him off, that way Foden can play as a number 10

I've said all along England should have brought Livramento, he understands angles much better than the other right footed LB options. Hes also extremely athletic and dynamic for a fullback. Even Lewis Hall wouldve been a good option to have but maybe too early for him

Sommer is inter milan lol not ac Milan

Southgate is like that guy at the casino who's got absolutely no idea what he's doing but somehow manages to clunk his way through some wins only to lose it all in the end

Apart from Mainoo most of them were garbage against Slovakia. Luck is on our side.

What is the obsession with Palmer? He didn’t do anything that significantly changed the game, he wasn’t more attacking than Saka, he didn’t complete more successful dribbles than Saka, he didn’t whip amazing balls into the box. I don’t get it. If you want to sit him in as a number 10, fine but he’s don’t nothing to justify replacing Saka

I was on fire on this weeks quiz holy moly

Correct me if im worng but i think this was the first time in the quiz that all 10 questions was answerd correct.

Was I the only one who thought Palmer was a bit ordinary? Looked like he done his best work drifting in to CAM, can’t see him being a better fit than Saka on RW.

Love it Ben! Since you're in germany, if you could do a poddy with Manuel Neuer, would blow the internet! Much love

Imo Cole Palmer doesn't have to start. Go to a 352 (3412)... Pickford Walker, Stones and Konsa - CB's Saka - LWB Trent - RWB Mainoo and Rice - CM's Jude - CAM Toney and Kane - Strikers I think it's at the point now where Kane could benefit from having someone up top with him, as the wingers aren't working to his strengths. Saka is a naturally born left footer and started in the left wing back role at Arsenal, so can play there. We have the balanace in midfield with Mainoo and Rice, with Bellingham even avalible to step in there if rice goes forward. Plus the two wing backs who will be forward when attacking, but the three CB's can cover if they get caught in possession and can't get back in time. A few things I have to see for Saturday is Trippier or Foden not on the left, it isn't working. Both want to cut in field all the time, that is easy to defend. Plus I think its criminal that Trent, our best creative asset is not in this side. Play him in his natual RB position and he will thrive. This new formation would be a risk, but it is a risk we need to take as it's not clicking, and a few tweaks here and there won't make it click.

Benching Trent was a masterpiece they look like world beaters

we’re HERE to say we’re waiting for the Turkey save analysis

I just don't get the Palmer shouts. Didn't beat a single man, lost the ball 12 times and was just spamming crosses?

I saw you on TV when you were at the Denmark game

It's been a problem with the left side since the first game so why hasn't Southgate done something. We do need a left winger like Gorden Maino is a must to start Kane hasn't played that wall and keeps dropping deep. Eze Palmer & Tony looked good let's hope he does make changes.

That was torture When does the football start

I'm a Chelsea fan but I didn't think Palmer looked that great in this match. He was better against Slovenia imo

When winning by a goal, the team just defends. Nothing learnt after blowing it against Italy.

Could you please put TFFI at the end of your title, please, just so we know what type of video it is please

Just watch him pick Foden again against Switzerland

Where is the vlog match ? Can't wait to see your reactions during the match ❤

Boys! We need an emergency vlog about that Gunok save for Turkey. Let's hear your analysis!

Am I the only on at 88 minutes who still believed we'd somehow turn it around? I've seen enough 93 minute goals to know it was possible. I didn't anticipate the 2nd goal though, thought it would be a stand off until pens.

I don't know why you are looking forward to the team selection Ben, other than enforced changes there won't be any. It'll be the same again and we'll get taken apart by a better team!

what happened to Joe Gomez who literally plays LB...

Not an England fan whatsoever but confused why Palmer has to start when he didn’t actually bring much vs Slovakia. Yes he is always direct but it was almost to a fault in this game. He wasn’t doing anything with it and lost the ball too much. Saka’s been the best of the front three all tournament so don’t see him being dropped for Palmer at all

The team just isn't gelling, which can only really be down to the manager at this point. The talent within the team is undeniable. Go back to basics, remember to hold and give, but do it at the right time, you can be slow or fast, but you must get to the line, they'll always hit you and hurt you, defend and attack, there's only one way to beat them, get 'round the back. Come on England!

The biggest problem we have is that our back four are doing too much passing to each other. If they cut that out and a rule was made. If it doesn’t work the first time hit it long we would be way more dangerous. When we get it forward we look dangerous but we never get it forward we have the defenders pass it round the back till everyone’s bored to death. That’s why rice and maino come soo deep to get it. Even Foden and Bellingham had to come back because Walker wants to keep it between him stones and trippier. Teams are still scared of us but we keep the ball in our weakest point AT THE BACK. We’re defensively so fragile but there the ones keeping the ball

Bench Kane, stick Toney or Palmer up top instead.

The way Bellingham held onto the ball and ran into men over and over again, I’d love to see him dropped to 8 move foden inside Gordon on the left and Toney up top. If we’re realistic Gareth will make no changes but Kane is definitely holding this team back the most

Sunday was an absolute horror show. Just like the previous 3 games and the Iceland game before the tournament. So 5 horror performances in a row and the bookies still have us as favourites. 😂 Make it make sense! 😂

We're gonna get schooled by the Swiss,we've never had such an underqualified manager.

Excellent video. There will be changes I am sure for Saturday. I think England will beat the Swiss. Also quiz needs to improve. The Sommer question was confusing and Southgate has taken charge of 99 games not 100. The Switzerland take is his 100th. Great achievement. People expecting a little of Palmer. A bit too much in my opinion. Still a great option to bring in. Gordon needs to be involved more.

Ben trying to convince us Switzerland is a club 😅😅

16:30 you summed up why Southgate has to be sacked. We score 1 goal and he parks the bus.

Yann Sommer does play for Inter Milan 32:16

I said from day 1 Toney should start, if you want to play as a team and have a striker back into defenders and open spaces for others. If he plays for a top team he will perform

when England scored in the 95th minute i just got sad that we would have to watch more of this team and manager this tourney :(

seconds away from exiting the euros and still sitting on unused subs is criminal. i'm almost mad that we're through cuz hearing Southgate speak as if his decisions were vindicated is absolutely infuriating.

Did Ben just say trippier doesn't whip balls into the box?

1-0 down in the 95th minute, to 2-1 up in the 93rd minute 😀

2:39 - he was trying to tell that to his friends in the crowd with his hand gestures, and that's gonna cost him, he's being dragged up before UEFA for it!

England should’ve brought the Crystal Palace or even the Ipswich left back. International football is more like championship than top flight anyway

At least give Southgate credit for playing Mainoo for 80 minutes

Palmer Your a charmer There’s no one Who is calmer His name is Cole He scores a goal He’s Englands Sword and armour There’s ya song!!

How is Kyle Walker that fast yet he doesn’t run past Saka, I simply don’t get it. He’s so pedestrian.

Would love to know Watson's & Ben's views on Pickford - seemingly on multiple occasions refusing a short pass to keep the ball and hoofing it upfront to Kane who loses the header 9/10 and we lose the ball and this creates pressure. its winds me up beyond belief.

we need right footed players on the right and left footed players on the left (Foden doesn't count as he always wants to go through the centre). we run down the wing and ALWAYS cut back in. defenders can see this. no one runs to the by line to cross the 6 yard box. there's never anything threatening as we always play backwards.

We need to be more direct. 1 shot on target and it came in the 95th minute. It's an obvious fact but if you don't get shots on target you will not score. The first time we were direct, we scored. I can just foresee Southgate will go back to his trusted back 5 for Switzerland with Guehi out.

Front three of gordon/toney/bowen would see a major difference in transition but we’re talking about Southgate and England FA. The part that strikes me most is that english pundits all over raving about u dont need to play well to win. What must gone into Luke Shaw mind when Saka played at left back before Zinedine Bellingham bicycle kick.

Palmer was woeful, gave the ball away constantly and provided no threat

Sorry Ben given up with your pods recently. Always 2 days late.

People acting like trippier hasn't played full back his whole career 🤔

All Southgate has to do is change formation, to a 4-3-3,,,he has the players with the talent to do damage in games ,but he uses this formation to defend and he smothers the life , talent out of the group of players, , the performances have shown him his tactics are not working ,,, it's the individual talent of players that have got us this far in the competition not his management or tactics or formation,,,,,, So why doesn't he change , for me the reason is because he doesn't want to lose , he sets the team up to not to lose instead of trying to win ,,,,, now against the swiss we will be given a hard test , and I think we will put in a good performance, and everyone will forget about these bad games , games we should hav won anyway even the knockout games have gone in our favour

11:40 that’s why we have to start Trent over walker.

nice talk guys, but you know he will pick the same team when possible 😂

I'm waiting for the English team to huddle up in the center circle before the next match begins and say to each other, "screw these tactics--let's go win this one properly." I would pay money--good hard earned money--to see that.

No idea why everyone is slating trips so much, he’s arguably had 2 games that were better than Walker. He isn’t a natural left back and Foden spends much of his time in the centre of the pitch reducing the width and the chance for Trippier to spread it wide. Trippier also had 10 assists in the prem this year and the majority of them came from crosses even though he missed nearly half a season. Not sure what you lads watch but I think a little more critical analysis would work wonders rather than the same blanket statements every game.

english fans : that was some horrendous performance 2 minutes later this player was so good that player what game he had those were great id give them an 8...

Thing is do you start palmer over saka on the rw ?

Switzerland FC😂😂😂 It’s national team, Ben

Are we being gaslit about cole palmer? I don’t see whatever everyone seems

Watto wow

How is it hindsight… every tournament we seem to pick people that are injured so why take him just pick another natural left-back!!!

Gareth was clear in his press conferance he isn't changing anything and thinks the team is balanced and worried about making changes. The guys deluded.

I'm not here for the quiz I'm here for the controversials

I like cole palmer , he’s looked good when he’s come on but look at when he’s been subbed on. Late into the game when the opposition defenders are tired. I think he should play but I can’t see who he starts over, foden? Coke palmer cannot play on the left though.

They don’t want to take risks because they’re playing crap and they know they’ll get the blame if they take a risk and concede a goal. Once again the English “fans” and media not backing their team, constantly criticising, putting the pressure on them equals them not performing.

I think it is clear what the best squad is and formations that would work. Southturd just refuses to do so and wants to win 1-0. That isnt going to happen use the damn talent you have. Ray Charles could tell you Foden shluldnt be on the left.

Football is a simple game complicated by coaches like Southgate. The more shots you have at goal the more chances you have to score a goal which is the point of the exercise. Southgate is too worried about what may happen if the other team gets the ball. So safe pass after safe pass is what you get from england at the moment.16 shots with 2 on target in 120 mins is just awful. Truly awful.
