ENGLAND WAS ONLY OK VS SERBIA (Honest Take By an Englishmen)  

how exactly were they dominated by serbia? serbia had 47% possession, 0.18 expected goals and 1 shot on target all game...

Bellingham was brilliant and everywhere up until he was gassed on 60mins (understandably so). Disappointed by Foden but you made a great point about it being due to Southgate’s “golden generation syndrome “and TAA. Impressed by Guehi. Like your point about playing Gordon. On reflection, it was very similar to 2018 v Croatia and 2021 v Italy. Great until we take the lead, then we sit back and invite presume for no reason - thankfully this time we weren’t punished but easily could’ve been. My one solace came from the NTT20 England podcast pointing out France’s first game v Denmark in 2018 was a complete 0-0 dud, it can take time to grow into tournaments and that the winners of international tournaments aren’t necessarily the best teams in the group stage

Sadly, it's almost like we can write the script for England's performance. They play well for about 30 mins, then go into their shell, to try and protect that lead, and aimlessly try and keep possession, without trying to increase their lead. This gives the opposing team the confidence to push forward , and create more goal scoring chances. As a result, England then have to chase around , and lose control of the game. Players get tired , and some aren't performing, yet Southgate waits until the 65th minute to make substitutions. And if we're lucky we scrape a draw.

One of the better videos we done

Is there a bit too much pressure on this England team to win the euros?

Great Video, Nick. My take was right like always, England were playing boring football and is completely full of big egos particularly Bellingham. Foden didn't show up which sucks because if Bellingham wasn't a ball hog we would've gotten a couple Foden goals.

why did I just watch a chubby chap in a fur coat talking about something he knows little about?
