No getting away from it, this is dire. Iceland are nullifying us with ease. |  |

Haven’t had the ball for 15 minutes. Hopefully Eze makes a difference. |  | | |

When you get there lads…… don’t fully unpack the suitcases will you?
We’ve got some great players but we’ve not got the blend across all areas of the pitch |  |

That looked like just what it was - a team with a lot of newcomers that's woefully underbaked. | |

That was England of old
Uninspiring is the kindest word
Ducking Shyte is the second and third kindest words !!
Utter dross. Our defence was very average but more worrying was some of our stars like Kane and Foden looking like they would fail to trouble a Gareth Ainsworth dysfunctional family team
I rather stupidly backed us for the Euros at 4 to 1.
250 to 1 more likely !!!
England never fail to disappoint!! |  |

Foden didn’t look a proper ten, pushed the ball sideways instead of threading the needle forwards, but he might need smarter runners in front of him. To be fair to Iceland, they were suffocating so the obvious lesson is never let them score first | | | |

Didn't look like we had a strategy for breaking them down or to deal with the counter.
We didn't really look like he'd addressed issues coming out after half time.
Bit disappointing. Crossing poor. Too many touches when we got a chance.
However, early days and we should improve before the tournament. |  | | |

To be fair it should have been 2-0 in the end although Palmer's miss was poor. Overall we looked like a team that was horribly rusty against a well organised team that got more and more confident as the game went on. Our delivery was shocking and it is worrying to see how a basic, well disciplined central low block totally bamboozled us. |  |

If only we had a player who could take people on , win free kicks and make something out of nothing , oh we do but he isn’t in the squad , Thanks Gareth |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

You’ve spent the last three years calling for Foden to start PP! Now you have your wish you want someone else 😆 | | | |

What are you talking about I didn’t say anything about Foden ? I’m talking about Grealish who let’s have it right Southgate has never rated and never really wanted in his squads
Southgate would have Real Madrid mid table within 3 months if he took charge | |

On previous England threads havn’t you demanded Foden start? Apologies if mistaken.
Grealish himself said he’d had a bad season and some mental health difficulties. | | | |

Gordon is not ready and should have been out of the squad, and Grealish should have been retained in the squad as he would have broken down Iceland, the same as Eze started to do when he came on, showing how Gordon is not ready. I suspect even Southgash won't play him again now.
Trippier looks past it; Tyrick Mitchell or Rico Hency should have been taken instead. Having only one known LB in the squad who is injured is abysmal management and fantasy thinking by Southgash.
Mainoo was okay, but he's not the answer against these teams. He got caught out for their Goal, should have been back when Rice went forward and Mainoo did not see the danger until it was too late. TTA should be the one to start against these types of defensive teams as then Rice knows he has to be back all the time as TTA will go forward. Palmer was okay and probably could play better than Foden in the middle. Foden was swamped and that was interesting as now we know how he can be stopped, but it frees up space which Gordon had a lot of but did little with.
In the first half, Southgash tried to lure Iceland into following Kane into the middle (hence his dropping deep) for Foden to push up and get the threw balls. It didn't work, as there was no one to thread those balls, Palmer was on the wing and Foden who could do it was expecting to receive it, and Iceland didn't fall for it. Hence, 45 minutes were wasted on this one pitiful tactic, which was obviously not working after 15 minutes when Iceland did not follow Kane all the way into the middle.
What we learned is that Gordon should not be there and Mainoo should only be used against attacking teams and maybe even not then as he's still not there yet. TTA is up for it, but really needs to be higher up the field in middle to make an impact. Tripper is past it, maybe Gomez is better? Konsa looked decent and possibly better than Guéhi, who is okay but has zero idea going forward and won't score from corners like Konsa can. Stones had his usual one terrible game out of five. Lets hope he goes back to his world class levels, he often does that. One game in five Stones will be gash for whatever reason and then he goes back to being amazing again. I suspect its a concentration thing, but how knows, Pep doesn't.
Gordon, Palmer won't start and possibly Mainoo will be sub as well.
Saka, Bellingham to come in, with Foden moved to the left and I suspect he will put TTA in the middle with Rice told to stay back all the time.
In Southgash we trust. |  |

Might be a good time to remember that Argentina lost their first game of the world cup against Saudi Arabia.
Or maybe we're just rubbish 😀 | | | |
