Stuart Pearce has said that he can no
longer defend his long time friend and colleague and worries that we are getting worse each game !

So have Slovakia tbf.

I controversially don't believe that England are the worst performing team at the last 16 (that would be Italy by some distance imo) yeah we've been bad, but I do believe that of the huge teams that are still left in the competition that France are playing worse than England.

And I do also think that England are also better than Slovenia and Turkey, and possibly Belgium (as they did lose to Slovakia this tournament.)

I don't know if England are actually quite as bad as we're all thinking, yes we've been underwhelming and we're clearly not the best team in the competition, but I could see England actually having a competitive match with every team bar Spain and Germany.

Wow

I admire your optimism unless you have also hit the mini-bar !?

Interesting to note that Slovakia had to play their hearts out to get through to last night’s game when we had already qualified for our third game

Plus we had an extra day of rest more than them !!

Interesting to see that two managers in particular are being criticised for poor squad selections / team selections / tactics and quality of football .. Southgate and Deschamps … and they are the two longest serving managers at the Euros !!

This slow progressive build-up game after game where CB’s see the majority of the ball is
killing football as a product.

LET THE GOALIE PUNT IT UPFIELD AND GET ATTACKING

I blame ( supposed genius) PepG !!

I much prefer the new Spain way of ball retention PLUS the long ball / quick breakaway option !!
