[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1110133, member: 70552"] England have to lose by 4-0 to Wales to not get through, so still likely we will get through. Annoyed at Southgate because of his persistence with a slow back line starting with Stones and Maguire. He thought they played well by passing from the back, but as Gary Neville said afterwards they both got stuck passing the ball between them so far back and couldn’t get it forward to midfield and then onto Sterling. It also affects the whole team their lack of pace as it allowed USA to press England back into our half and play in front of them. That’s why you had such big bags between England’s three banks or lines and easy for USA to contain England. Kane just got frustrated and dropped deeper in hunt for the ball. Rice dropped deeper to get the ball off his centre backs but then his passing couldn’t find Bellingham, Mount because USA midfield had squeezed their space. Just nuts Southgate can’t see it and how it affects the whole team. He had the year since the Euros to play and integrate Tomori of Milan, who would have added pace to centre back and good on the ball allowing a higher line to play. But he just doesn’t trust him yet and sticks to a player in Maguire whose lack of pace Ten Hag has seen and why he’s not playing regularly for Man U. I think England will get through. They are not that bad to lose 4-0 to Wales but should have wrapped it up after 2 matches top of the group and resting players for the knockout stages and giving others a go, which in turn would have lifted the squad. Unfortunately, I can see once England meet a France or better team they will face similar problems as the Euros. [/QUOTE]
