I've gone from thinking we have the players to win it, to waiting for us to get beat 

Surely the Swiss will finish us off and put us out this strange footballing misery 

I mean we topped the group and got through the next round 

But it's been painful 

But seems the teams who could properly bum us are on the other side of the draw 

So it's all becoming a long drawn out tournament 

It's probably going to come home

[gonzo]

All the euphoria of the goal apart. What exactly was the idea of putting Ivan Toney on with 30 seconds to go?

Getting some minutes in before the next game

All part of the plan

Swiss Toney

Go on then, what racist activity in your past makes you go here every time? Over compensating pal.

It will never not be a go-to jibe.  No point getting arsey about it now.

So that he'd be up to speed to set up the winning goal at the start of extra time.  Tactical genius is Southgate.

Gareth, sorry Sir Gareth knew we would bag a late equaliser, Toney was put on to provide the assist. Trust the process. It’s coming home

Still stunned at how shocking we are. You have to go out of your way to be this shit. 

[Pablo]

That England shirt turns the players to mush, I recon its all the cavemen little clubber gammons hounding them and constant booing and moaning, most of them don't even know half of the England squad and know very little about the top leagues or even understand top level fotball.....most get their opinion from TalkSport and The Sun headlines.

[L/H White]

hopefully that's the moment the sparks our tournament to life 

gonna be an interesting team selection anyway, with guehi and tripper potentially out 

walker CB Trent RB? 

does he stick saka at LB?

[Casino]

i though eze looked more comfortable than anybody else at LB

also, while im no fan of arnold, why would you not have him on rather than saka?

or were we all subbed out?

[wiggy]

Lots of the England player / manager interviews have been a bit strange this tournament. But the post match interviews last night led me to believe there is something very wrong in the squad. Southgate calling out Toney because apparently he was unhappy about being brought on when he was. Why would he volunteer that himself? Just strange

hadn't seen that, but yes, very odd

Bellingham saw his arse a bit too having a pop at the fans

Kane the other night saying players didn't know who was doing what 

is this GS' was of saying here that I'm the manager and I know what I'm doing?

“I had belief we would get a goal. The boys that came on, Ivan (Toney) played a big part – he was disgusted at me putting him on at that moment. There's no question he was pretty disgusted when I put him on with a minute to go," the England boss said.

"I think we've made up now. He's had a big impact in the second goal as well. You put a sub on at that time, it is a final throw of the dice. I completely understand it. I don't like putting a player in that position.

[Mantra]

Was a weird thing to say, doesn’t reflect well on either of them…

seems like the subtext he is going for is, “you all laughed at me (even the players), you’re not laughing now are you?”

Gareth Southgate has joked that Ivan Toney was 'disgusted' with his decision to bring him on in the 94th minute of Sunday's dramatic victory over Slovakia.

[1969]

One thing I noticed was at full time when Southgate tried talking to the players a lot of them looked like they didn't give a fuck what he was saying as in looking anywhere but at him

 

[Traf]

Maybe IT was disgusted that Gareth hadn't made the switch(es) much earlier.

Picking essentially the same team four games in a row and refusing to change it at HT yesterday just smacks of an arrogant "I know more than you" attitude.

I also though that once Guehi was ruled out of the next game, 3 minutes in, that another centre half should have got minutes.

[Wanderlust]

The world knows that the late substitutions were a desperate throw of the dice. Southgate knew at the time that his plan hadn't worked and Toney knew he hadn't been part of that plan. He has a bench full of talent raring to go and a starting team that has look jaded from the first game.

The starting line up for the Switzerland game is going to be very interesting. Any chance of Southgate starting the game without Saka, Foden and Trippier? Can't see it although all 3 looked like they need a break and may be more effective coming on as subs if required.

Conversely, how do you drop Palmer and Eze etc? Those that have come on in the games so far have all made some sort of impact - bar Gallagher who has been plugging holes.
