Nice to see Eric Dier talking about his teammates despite not being part of the squad 😂👏

‘No tactics in this one’, are talking about the video or the game Jim?

Gordons pass, splitting the whole midfield for palmers chance in the dying minutes. best moment of the game and what has been missing for England. England never managed to break the lines in other moments in the game, no cohesion in the movement and no tempo before.

Jim’s gone for a trim, this surely has to be a commentary to his thoughts on Wharton’s involvement so far

JUST PLAY GORDON ON THE LEFT AND FODEN AT 10 AND BELLINGHAM AT 8 FFS!!!! ARRGHHHHH!!!!

Kobbie and Palmer only players that looked half decent

“Enjoy this tournament” did u watch the game?

Gordon came on in the 89th minute and created more chances (1) than Gallagher, Bellingham and Saka combined (0)

James, I'll "enjoy this tournament" when England don't send me to sleep. We are the most boring team in the tournament yet we have attacking players who come from Real Madrid, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern Munich etc. You can't say you enjoyed that performance. I have never felt such little excitement about a major tournament. I genuinely dreaded this match and I was right to do so. Southgate has had 2 previous major tournaments and many years with these players. Enough is enough

Usually I agree fans are clueless but everyone has been calling for Palmer/Gordon/Mainoo and we played best when they were on the pitch

James got the rosiest of tints on his glasses. This performance was another disgrace. The ability on the field and to look at that performance as anything other than a disaster against Slovenia is insane to me. Regarding saka not doing anything wrong to lose his place. A player shouldn’t have to mess up to lose his spot, a sub comes on and makes a difference should be merit enough to start the next game. Performance should merit game time

I hope you know Slovenia is 2M people. Ultra massive success for them.

Classic Bellamy, out of retirement and switched nationality, a true maverick.

Gordon looked decent when he came on for 2 minutes

The false positivity is getting tiring, Jim. 0-0 with Slovenia, utterly boring to watch and multiple players being given an 8/10?

Bellamy was disappointing, Jim - but what do you expect of a 44-year-old Welsh man?

Why no mention of Gordon's sublime pass cutting through the midfield? His creative action was one more than Saka, Bellingham and Gallagher made in the whole game!!!

I'm Irish, I have no skin in the game. I turned on the match because I was home from work and I had nothing else to do. I was bored out of my skull. If I was an England fan, I would seriously worry. That was one of the worst games I've ever sat through.

At least Wharton is keeping himself busy

James celebrating a draw with Slovenia 🤨

At least Gareth's doing his best to popularise walking football.

All praise James Lawrence Baldcott 👏

Skinhead Jimbo is such a vibe

Every player gets between a 1 and 5, Southgate gets -10

Palmer and Mainoo have to start the next game for me, the only excitement I’ve had watching England all tournament was those 2

Let’s face it, the first two games were awful, we made…one change, and that change (Gallagher) was dreadful! What did we realistically expect to change in this game? We were very lucky the other game ended in a draw….

I'll never understand how James is not outraged at this England manager. As someone that wants England to lose though, I do kinda love it too 😂

2:48 Sounds like he’s had a few saying “just enjoy it” which won’t be for long with these type of performances!

Southgate has been in charge since September 2016. Nearly 8 years on and we're playing like he's been the manager for 8 days. This is the most exciting pool of English players since at least 2004, maybe even before then and the style is so boring. Sideways, backwards, rinse, repeat. It's tedious, demoralising, frustrating and, maybe more than anything else, confusing. There are players in this squad who play for Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Munich & Real Madrid. All attacking teams that the English players have thrived in so we know they can do it. Not to mention the quality of player who didn't even make the squad. On the subject of squad: Why did he only pick one (injured) Left-Back? Why are Foden and Trent being played out of position? They're arguably the 2 best talents to come through in the last 10 years! Why does the starting XI have 4 players who like to occupy the space between the penalty spot and just outside the 'D'? This tournament is the biggest waste of talent since we didn't qualify for 2008. After that shit show tonight, I just needed a rant. Thanks for indulging me. Rant over. P.S. Anyone else notice Rice being extremely reluctant to pass left? Does he do this for Arsenal or is it just the last 3 games. Or maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there.

Palmer looked decent

James do be looking Looking like prime Joe Cole

My alarm went off at 2am (I'm in Thailand) and I thought, 'You know what? Think I'll pass', and I'm feeling pretty good about that decision this morning tbh.

This was Slovenia… they’re ranked 57th in the world.

Pickford, Trent, Stones, Guehi, Gomez, Mainoo, Rice, Bellingham, Foden, Gordon, Kane to start next game for me

It's the pace we play at. So slow on the ball. Rice and the two CBS take an age to release the ball. Release it faster and withe some pace on it. The CBD aren't breaking the lines enough either. Mainoo, Bellingham and foden are calling for it in space all the time and not recieving it

Bellingham is not the #10. That is supposed to be our most creative player and he simply is not that and hasn’t been all tournament. Bellingham and rice next to each other and foden should be the #10

Jim logged on and chose positivity. I'm Irish so I'm biased but that was appalling Jim 😂😂😂

Biggest problem is Rice and Bellingham. They are not filling the spaces between the lines. Theyre not playing through players but around slowly.

Southgate out

Defending mediocrity is crazy

After the match Gordon never got a fecking mention..FFS. He did more in 6 minutes than the rest of the team did in 90.

Jim the trim is an unexpected triumph, 8/10

Way way way way way way too kind to Southgate. The team reflects him...too safe, conservative, boring, unimaginative. Imagine what Pep or Klopp could get these bunch of players to do attacking wise. Imagine a half decent manager for God's sake. Coner did a great job with his hair and that's where that ends. England were awful with him on the pitch and better when Mainoo came one. Enough said with that one.

Palmer and Gordon are like 2nd and 3rd third best players of the entire group stages. And one of them played 5 mins

I loved when Mainoo played that beautiful back-heel to Kane and then made the run for the obvious 1-2 onto goal, but Kane thought it'd be better to play it out wide and kill the attack. Genius! And that one play encapsulates what Southgate's England team is: bland and boring despite having some of the best talents in the world.

Love the trim, Jim.

No tactics in this one Exactly

We need to try something different with Bellingham. He’s been the worst player on the pitch two games running now. I would have liked to see a full front 4 change at around 80 mins with Gorden Palmer centrally Bowen and Watkins upfront

Bellingham was fading toward the end of the season for Real Madrid. I think he's struggling.

Lovely tribute to Adam Wharton James 👏

Cheeky buzz for the summer, love it

As a United fan, I'd love for Mainoo to get more minutes and bask in the spotlight because he's so damn good, but I think Wharton should have been given some minutes, too. Gallagher simply isn't good enough and I don't get why he's even in the team tbh. This team is good enough to control games, so Gallagher's frenetic energy isn't really needed. Southgate would be a moron to persist with Gallagher instead of playing Mainoo/Wharton. That being said, we all know he'll continue to start Gallagher.

The lack of game time for palmer and Gordon this tournament so far is borderline criminal

Mainoo really helped move the game on and added balance to the midfield but trippier and walker don’t help their wingers at all.

Trent should always be RB. Walker can play somewhere else. Gordan should always be LW

Jim gets so deluded when it comes to England

Jimbo making me act unwise with that new hair

“No tactics in this one” - James you’ve nailed it!

We needed a win to guarsntee we top the group.... In the first half we had a flat back 4 when we had the ball, two holding midfielders, inverting wingers and a 9 that likes to drop deep.... Make it make sense Gareth, you have all the players and we can win all the games 😭😭😭

Gallagher was good bcos he didn't get on the ball? Crazy argument. Didn't do anything

Solid defense is promising and the 2nd half provides us a platform to build on. I like the single pivot formation

James you really would find positives out of anything saying that first half was alright 😂

Gallagher shouldn't be anywhere near the starting eleven. All of the things you talked about him bringing to the team Mainoo brings in addition to actual quality on the ball and a level of intelligence that few English players possess.

I get being positive, but Jesus Christ. It has been nothing short of horrendous performance wise and doesn’t look like improving. Only improvements we saw were when Southgate clearly caved to outside noise… which in itself is worrying, because why are unqualified fans seeing it but the manager isn’t? The blind positivity is jarring.

Support your team man you on top of the group well done 👏🏼

Need to Start Palmer and Gordon. Brings actual balance to the team, and not 3 attackers who all want to drop into pockets + an underperforming Saka. Im not sure how an England fan would see the group stages as anything other than mediocre & lacking ideas

The first 30 minutes was like walking football for the over 50’s

Jim’s gone full brexit haircut

Enjoying the new 'Balkan war criminal' hair cut James.

For me Saka needs to be more dynamic in build up and work down the line more to push defences back. Our style of play was always playing inward towards the edge of the box instead of pushing the touch line. This is why Gordon and Palmer opened up the pitch..

trippier created the 2 best chances in the first half.

Guaranteed progression from group and waits until the 88th minute to bring on Gordon..... There is literally no reason or excuse for these poor decisions

This is the first time a team finished top of their group and all of the fans are depressed. Southgate ball is revolutionary

Saka got a 7? They were all poor Foden at least tried Jude needs to be rested he's not a 10 in this team

Disagree on Rice, he was hiding for a lot of that game, stayed shoulder to shoulder with their forwards when we were in possession, he only shined once Mainou was with him, Mainou made himself available & wanted the ball

We will all enjoy it when we see the team playing good football. I’ve enjoyed several teams playing well at this tournament (Austria/Spain/Netherlands/Georgia) and been really disappointed by some teams (France/Hungary/Denmark) and England are in this bracket, although for the purposes of this they are outside for emphasis. I get how they’ve navigated their way out of the group, won it and found themselves in a “good” half of the draw and who knows they might go on to go far but are these players not capable of doing it with a bit of style?

I think the biggest takeaway of the games so far is that Southgate needs to be braver when making subs. Lets get them on the field earlier regardless of what the starting team is. Bowen was great against Serbia. Impressed with the subs on this game too but coming on in the 89th minute sucks for thr players

Bellingham has looked flat in all three games. There is no basis on which to pick him for the next game. Mainoo should start with Rice and Foden in midfield. That then leaves room for Gordon on the left wing. Kane is currently a better 10 than he is a 9. I'd definitely play him in a 4-4-2 but in a 4-4-3 I'd like to see Toney being a real nuisance upfront. If Shaw isn't ready then I'd play Gomez at left back and at least start with Alexander-Arnold at right back. We'd have more energy and more attacking threat with those players.

I imagine a world with a RHS of Trent, Mainoo and Palmer and imagine how beautiful it would be and how many chances they would create. Even if it was Trent, Mainoo and Saka, it would be amazing.

JLA , you are one of the most unbiased pundit/person who talk sense about football. I appreciate ur honesty so much.

Crazy how a team with foden, bellingham, saka, kane lacks creativity

I can tell you put a lot of effort and research into making this video, and it shows.🌟🔥

Giving Trippier anything higher than a 5 is incredibly generous, he was atrocious, holding us back so much in the attack

Context is key, with France finishing second it is looking like the side of the group we are in is the easiest run to a final in a long time. Had Denmark not drawn we would of bottled that opportunity and been in the side of death. To not win against Slovenia ranked 58 in the world when those are the circumstances is why I am frustrated. Even though it didn't happen it's easy to imagine that being a reality right now, and we would be saying same old England. Lucky with the results, lucky with the draw and we are not a lucky nation🤣 we need to perform now with consistency, it needs to click fast

I can't see Watkins playing a minute now unless England go behind or we are smashing an opponent. No way is Southgate going to take Kane off if we are leading or drawing because he will just be thinking about penalties.

I like your balance, but I don't understand what we are trying to do. We are not getting chances. Good luck to the lads. Thanks for the content.

Thought Adam Wharton was in Germany?!

Honestly the way we've played in the last 3 games, it really wouldn't surprise me if we went out in the round of 16.

I couldn't care less about Southgate and his tactics etc, I'm not a manager, but one thing he got very right was starting Guehi. For me, hands down and by far our best player so far this tournament, he is brilliant. Solid, quick and good on the ball for a CB, so glad he is proving the doubters wrong tbh

James Madison, creativity decent ground coverage. Good evidence from performances off the bench.

There was a moment that led to chance if 1st half....and it clicked. Rice for pretty much the only time in game stepped between the lines and received turned and progressed!!!! Passing through players! Who would have thought

Ranking on Jimmys hair, 10/10

Kyle Walkers been awful all season. Not sure how most people haven’t picked up on it yet

Finally, someone noticing Bellingham's body language in certain situations, i've been seeing it since Dortmund days. Love the guy but don't understand where him being composed narrative comes from. Never seen him composed in difficult situations. But he'll learn.

Calm take: today was England’s best day of the tournament so far because of what happened in the other group. Portugal, Spain, Germany & France now all to be on one side. As much as England haven’t looked great Netherlands & Italy have probably looked worse, albeit in harder groups, England will now likely have three straight games as favourites before the final, where they can iron out the issues which became clearer, even to Southgate, in this game with the subs improving things

We're in for a repeat of Euro 2020 if we use Palmer only as a sub, Grealish came on and instantly changed the game against Germany and still didn't get a start all tournament, excited for Palmer to come on in the 99th minute against Italy when we go out in the quarters

I not only approve of the haircut, I enjoy it

James is the type of guy to sit in his pc chair and put a seatbelt on..!

The relaxed approach to drawing I found curious, since a goal for Denmark means we finish second in the group and get knocked out by Germany in the next round. Massive risk.

Gordon 1 For his only touch - Thanks Gareth
