Well done Palmer and Gordon. You did well, have another place on the bench... Unbelievable decision from Southgate. Same again then more binary football. I despair.

Mainoo will make us better, I have no doubt about that. However, to leave thet left side the way it is, is shocking.

He's got no balls whatsoever. He's scared of his own shadow.
With this squad, we should be chests puffed out, see ourselves as rightly in the Elite Group at this level, and back ourselves in any circumstance.
Let's just get through this Euros and see the back of him.

The side is fine (and definitely better with Mainoo) if it plays to its potential. Theres an argument for bringing in Palmer for Saka but how do you accommodate Gordon? Drop Foden?

Slovakia's right back is 37 and as slow as fuck.
And we're leaving Gordon on the bench?
If our left hand flank had been tearing it up in the first three games, then maybe you could justify it but it hasn't, not remotely.
I have no idea what is going through Southgate's mind.

He just couldn't resist shoe Horning a man utd player in Mainoo should have been in the team from match one. Far more talent than TAA or Gallagher. It's almost the opposite, he's tried all other options before arriving at the Man U player

We shouldn't be wary of anyone we should be tearing these a new one. Southgate is too scared to concede he stops us attacking Having Trippier at left back will catch us out eventually too. We can win with him but it just makes it so much more difficult

Palmer should have started instead of Saka who should be brought on later against tired legs

I've really defended Southgate in the past but this selection is seriously getting on my tits.
Unless he's worked out some amazing new tactics for Foden on LW then Gareth needs a fucking slap.

Asked one of the finnish lads at this bar in Helsinki "what're they saying about Southgate?" and he laughed and just said "it's not good".
Now the TV is showing memes from twitter taking the piss out of him.

Southgate has killed our attack keeping Trippier in the team. If we won this tournament it would be despite Southgate, we have some brilliant players who can't play their best because of his selection and tactics. We have a better team still at home than Slovakia but Southgate tactics will give them a chance

The more the tournament goes on, the more I think a cautious approach, keeping hold of the ball, may win it.
Don't get me wrong, I also think we could win this game by taking the stabilisers off, but I think this approach will work well against teams that want to attack us.
Perhaps he's trading it looking bad against weaker opponents to get the players used to playing that way when it really counts?
