I get your point but I can’t quite see where any of the midfield are playing, incl RiceWhy is the most advance Midfielder having to track back? there is enough defenders and DMs on the pitch, which in a nutshell why England struggle.

I'm watching this round my mate's house in Brazil. Portuguese commentary. England look decent. Top of the group. Maguire annoyingly solid. Maddison is no striker but also no stinker. I have read through some of the posts above and honestly it's like reading Potty, JCFG and wokewanka giving their views on the Corbyn/Starmer government.
Get a f***ing grip, some of you. FFS!
Which is the problem, why would you have Maddison/Bellingham tracking back?I get your point but I can’t quite see where any of the midfield are playing, incl Rice
I tend to agree here.I know what you mean and agree that some of the criticism is OTT. However, this is a bit rubbish, isn't it?
Do we really need Henderson in there along with Rice?
It’s quite a come down from watching Brighton. Dublin summed it up when he said England were just relying on individual brilliance. A kind way of saying they aren’t being coached, although he wouldn’t have noticed that implication. I’m not watching the 2nd half. Not even bothered if Dunk comes on.
Any money Phillips will be on soon 🫠
He has been in the role since 2016 and coached some of these players with the U21s before hand, that is more than enough time to put in place a plan rather anti football.Do we simply have to accept that the level of tactical coaching to compete at the top club level (which we are now watching on a weekly basis) requires hours each day for weeks on end to achieve.
Something national coaches will not be able to achieve. And sticking 11 of 'your best' out there is all any national coach can do
I think it'd just be nice to have an identity. Or to be a bit surprised by selections.Do we simply have to accept that the level of tactical coaching to compete at the top club level (which we now have the pleasure of watching on a weekly basis) requires hours each day for weeks on end to achieve.

It's a hard watch. It's like watching Palace, dinosaur tactics.Watching England is a painful experience after watching a team coached by RDZ.
You have to have a system as well though. Southgate has no ideas.I think it'd just be nice to have an identity. Or to be a bit surprised by selections.
Overall though I think you're probably right. You stick your best 11 out and hope for the best. But the best 11 have to have played at least 90 minutes of club football in the last decade.
Maguire has played more minutes for England this season than he has for Man Utd.I think it'd just be nice to have an identity. Or to be a bit surprised by selections.

Rashford really
