So, Manchester United away first up. Hopefully we give a better account of ourselves than last season.

December's run of games look tough. The annual Christmas slump is almost guaranteed again:D

Very tough start. Man U, Everton, Liverpool 3 out of first 4 games

I see Brighton have turned down £40m for Ben White ! Show's how much money all the premier league clubs earn these days if they can turn down that amount of money !!

Very lacklustre from England last night. I actually thought Phillips was the better of the 3 mids but that’s not saying much. Couldn’t believe Foden came off he was by far our best threat. Very negative tactics from Southgate too, that midfield needed shaking up. Kane was poor he looks half a yard off the pace for some reason but he’s also not getting any service.

I thought James looked scared to get forwards.. very bizarre all round from the team, no pressing and looked clueless in attack.

It's all part of the master plan to finish 2nd in the group and play Slovakia, Sweden or Poland. The Czech game will be the worst game of the tournament, nobody will want to win and top the group:D

Trouble is with that Czech game people will want to see a reaction and much better performance from England but I’d snap their hands off for a draw.

Had England selected Harrison and Bamford for Kane and Sterling we would have walked it
Very poor performance all round.
Thought maybe Henderson could have come on for one of the midfielders, Foden had to stay on and Kane must be tormenting which club he wants to play at next season.
Calvert Lewin in for the next game along with Grealish for Sterling and Henderson for Rice.

Joking apart Bamford would have really helped us against Scotland with his shear work rate and brilliant press. Exactly what we needed in the game imo

It doesn't really matter who England pick, as the intensity is nonexistent. For example, our full backs never provide an overlap, and when you have 2 inverted wingers, it makes it very easy to defend against. Also, if Kane is going to drop deep to get the ball, he needs to then be sprinting back up the pitch to provide an option.
I think Southgate is a leader and the kind of person you want to be manager, and he got it right against Croatia, but against teams we should be beating he's not ruthless enough in his approach.
