To anyone criticising England

[cricketfieldclarets]

Neuer
Kimmich Stones Maguire Gosens
Kroos Goretzka
Gnabry Muller Grealish
Kane

A combined 11 i'd chose, maybe Kimmich in midfield and Walker right back, and maybe Foden over Muller. It's a close one though

Muller would be the first name on my sheet from both teams.

sadly not, he could go and win the entire thing and people will still whine and hate, it's an English thing.

[KRBFC]

England the first team in history to keep 5 consecutive clean sheets at the Euros!

[Longsidebovril]

If I’ve learned one thing watching this tournament and listening to the fans.
Football fans know Nothing about how to play and win football games.

Best just sit back and be a fan.

I’d rather be that than the guy who inexplicably couldn’t handle someone else giving tips so set up a fake account to post other tips and got every one wrong.

I’m sure one day you’ll admit why you couldn’t handle someone else’s tips..

Great to see see you calling out trolls. Sunday lunch could be interesting if someone mentions Yaya Toure.
Gravy everywhere!!!

Its Tim-Bob ... he's obviously been at the Bristol Cream Sherry again

[bobinho]

No doubt about it, England were very very clinical tonite. Some have come thru that game with massive credit - i thought Shaw was superb, as was Rice. Stones and Walker on the other hand had quite a few `moments` that would have been punished by a better side than Ukraine.

Tactics, team selection and intructions were top notch tonite.

For how many years?

[Barlickclaret]

Brilliant night for every English football fan, nobody should pick fault with a team what wins 4-0 in a euro quarter final. Brilliant night Enjoy it. Then bring on Wed.

[Zlatan]

I’m converted. I was critical of Southgate, but so far he’s done fine

[Barlickclaret]

Ok Troll...

Why would anybody want to troll on uptheclarets wow not a good place to be, England just got to a semi final and Burnley in prem another year, we've been locked in for nearly 18 months let's be happy again.

[Jakubclaret]

It’s good for the pubs after Covid, everybody seemed to be staggering about tonight half cut.

[BurnleyFC]

Fantastic performance from all concerned tonight.

[Rileybobs]

Let us never forget that Gareth Southgate once managed Middlesbrough. Genuinely interested to hear what Rowls, and other detractors, have to say though. And I am being genuine, have you changed your mind?

[Jakubclaret]

Instead of all rejoicing some want to stir up arguments, now why isn’t that surprising! Sad but true.

I posted this on the other thread:

Southgate won me over today because he clearly wasn't happy at half-time. The pressing in the second half and forward passing felt like they were 70% up on the first half and that surely came from him. I've never ever had an issue with him as a bloke but have accused him of being too negative (because he was) but the second half today was epic

So yeah, today he did win me over, most managers would have just said, winning 1-0 same again lads but he clearly didn't

[Vintage Claret]

Wow, thought we'd scrape a win but really wasn't expecting that scoreline tonight.

No matter what the quality of the opposition is that was an impressive performance by anyone's standards - well done to the England team and manager.

Same again on Wednesday please!

Excellent performance...they took the foot of the gas. I felt for shevchenko.

[andyh]

Also seems to be managing the game time of the squad so well. We have around 18 players who are “warmed up” within this tournament and could do a job. No undropable megastars that everyone has to pamper to. We may not win it but Southgate has given us every chance.

[Woodleyclaret]

A great result but Walker is an accident waiting to happen.Why not be really adventurous and play Tripp at right back and Luke Shaw on the left.

[Stanbill05]

It was an enjoyable watch yesterday and Southgate deserves credit. I’ve criticised him for previous performances which are regularly turgid despite the quality in the squad. Seems to have got the squad in a really good frame of mind and has now got players desperate to impress when they get their chance. Not something I can remember seeing before. Need to get through Wednesday though...

[superdimitri]

Thought Henderson was immense when he came on. Fills the gap between defence and attack so much better than Rice and Phillips.

[Hibsclaret]

Let’s see what Souness thinks of England on Wednesday because he was embarrassing in the run up to the Czech game….anyone would think he had never seen a team start a tournament slowly and conceding few chances before going on to get better and better. This is what the Germans usually do.

It will be nice to see him eating humble pie or it might be look at what Scotland could have done as they were fabulous and so much better than England

Edit…just seen he is already eating his humble pie in his Sunday Times column…bitter sweaty alert

Anyone still having a pop at Sir Gareth?
