I really don’t know why Trippier gets stick over a number of other players, especially Walker.  Trippier offers much more than Walker, playing out if position.

I think the stick on Trippier is harsh but I do think him at left back doesn’t work for our shape.

It's not him as such , it annoys me Southgate didn't take a LB. I like Walker, but I think he has been poor this tournament. 
With all the players available , we could have taken one real LB surely .

Defensive subs totally handed the initiative back to them. 

Let’s be honest we’ve had the initiative for about 120 seconds. All this done is delay the inevitable.

We are currently proving that it is actually possible to polish a turd.

I think it’s more that we are turning a silk purse into a sow’s ear.

Thank Christ we have got defensive reinforcements on in place of strikers. Should stop us spending the next 15 mins on the back foot to a less fancied team. 

We are the less fancied team. :whistle2:

This is nuts, inviting pressure from a team who looked beaten.

TBH it's what teams do. We got back in the game because they did it. City do it, every team does it . 
As frustrating and stupid as it seems it's just inevitable .

What, with 3 minutes to go?

Most teams do it. Two banks of four, or a three and a five - come and break us down.

A lot to criticise Southgate for, but not seeing out the game like this...

Gordon must have rally p1ssed off Southgate to not be able to get on

The squads are stupidly big though aren't they? The benches have two goalkeepers and a team on them and not everyone can get in. Almost to many options.

The most un-feel good time at the end of that game.  

Used to be a time when England getting to the Quarters felt brilliant. Setting up that excited feeling ahead of the next game and wanting the week to go quickly.

Not any more.
