I'd like to see Eze and Palmer instead of Foden and Saka in the next game, assuming we can hold on against the mighty Slovakia.

Dream on lol

What an effort from Slovakia, played some lovely football at times.

I can't enjoy this win.

Southgate going defensive as soon as we go 2-1 up against the mighty Slovakia......

It just gives you a glimpse of what it is like being an Arsenal or United fan. Being trash yet winning games at the death.

f**king embarrassing performance all round.

 

Never in doubt.

Like it, stick on four forwards and you score.

Rice MOTM for me. Protected the back four and when no-one else could do anything smashed one against the post.

Even had the energy after 120 minutes to square up to their manager.

No. Southgate's coaching didn't win the game, who coaches their team to have two shots on target? He was bailed out by a bit of magic from Bellingham, there was no coaching from Southgate that led to that goal.

The guy is a fraud.

Rice MOTM? He was trash. Took way too long to get the ball moving at times. Reminded me of Matic in his last season with us.

Rice has been our worst player of the tournament next to Saka. Both of them are playing so sh*t right now.

Booooooooooooo!

Stuck with Bellingham who many on here were having a go at and wanted subbed off. ;)

He looked out of it at times though came good later on.

Aye sounds like it. That is why Southgate has the biggest job in football and none of us do. He knew to stick rather than twist.

Look, you're never going to convince me that Southgate was critical in that turnaround. Zero shots on target until the 95th minute, relying on a bit of magic to save him, then doing what he usually does with his going defensive bollocks that he does whenever England go ahead.

Switzerland will knock England out if they play like that again.

Clearly Cole Palmer changed the game.

It's like picking the least sh*t. Probably Mainoo or Guehi.

Kane saying "The fans at home would have enjoyed that"

People said England would be knocked out in first knock out round if they played like they did in groups 

 

Arguably played worse, still won. Southgate has a semi final and a final on his CV, the golden  England generation managers could not do that.

 

Heck is Saka, Rashford and co were not bottle jobs he would have won the last euros.

He did alright though not long enough to win MOTD.

Gallagher did well in pressing them in ET.

Eze fille din at LB strange yet we hold out.

Tony was funny getting free kicks when sometimes he had backed in.

I actually think Toney contributed more in the brief time he was on the pitch than most of the players from the start.

I thought our CBs were on edge tonight against those direct Slovakians neither looked commanding.

I think we go out against the Swiss, hope not yet Southgate leaves it very late to change things. 

England scraped by against Slovakia. Obviously England have talented players, but no strategy or tactics or anything resembling a plan.

Southgate well he will be around a bit longer.
