Mainoo wants the ball in tight areas and nobody has the fucking balls to pass him the ball

Are you suggesting Stones and Guehi shouldn't keep passing back and forth to each other for the entirety of the second half? What an odd idea!

Actual joke

Stones ignored Mainoo 2-4 times. He had some good positions.

Positives - Mainoo Negatives - Southgate

Martin Dúbravka played for United. That should be listed under connected players! ONCE A RED!

Absolute legend who headed into a cup final with a guaranteed winners medal

Some people were happy that Maguire was injured and couldn't make it to the euros , only for his absence to prove that he's levels above every CB england has got

Too true

Article loading for Kobbie at half time

They will blame him for hoofing the ball at the other end

Genuinely excited for Kobbie. Hope he crushes it today

Kobbie cooking already, beautiful play from him.

He's gonna take Mainoo off at halftime, isn't he?

Prepare yourself for the media because you just know he'll be targeted.

Walker to busy planning post euros Orgy

I think it's obvious. If Kalvin Phillips was in midfield this would not happen

Lads even if we go out at least Mainoo was the best player Gareth is about to sub him off for attacking too much

You know it's bad when the teenage Man United midfielder is the only one weighting their passes well

Foden’s performance has been shocking. And yet he remains on the pitch.

Literally the only positive for England is Mainoo, 100% England's best player that first half

There was a stretch when Mainoo couldn't sniff the ball but whenever he got it our boy was class. The only one actually confident enough to take people on and play football.

English people rn https://preview.redd.it/6qmxf0oxnq9d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92a7bbbe4add495a5246d86567fa8ca3bb640622

Saka's gotten away with criticism completely this tournament..he's been shit 

Good god Mainoo is incredible

Mainoo is by far the most courageous player on the pitch. Stones and guehi are so scared to pass into midfield

You see this and wonder why was Mainoo on the bench

Southgate got way more than he deserved - should've been knocked out, but that's football sometimes. Happy with Kobbie's performance today.

Southgate to Kane: Yer a midfielder Harry

Mainoo having a better game than England's golden boy without a question.

Hook Foden, hook Saka, hook Kane. Gordon, Watkins and Palmer may actually try something

Mainoo off apparently for Eze. Okay Southgate, you really aren't serious.

Foden goes off and England immediatly score lol

Southgate is the cockroach of football.

"England have the easiest route to the final"

You mean Slovakia has the easiest route to the final. 😂

Imagine making only 2 subs when you're 1-0 down

Jude is the man. Absolutely undeserved, though.

Cant wait to hear the pundits talk about how great Bellingham is after slating him all week

Great play from Slovakia there tho. Opened up England like a tin of sardines.

Rice you had a window to pass to Mainoo to bypass 3 players yet you don't have the balls to play a slightly risky pass. Just do it this safe shit ain't bringing you anything.

Garth will decide to bench Mainoo again for the next game, because he wasn't on the pitch when they got the goals

Trent/Conor can get raked over the coals when Xhaka smashes in another worldie after they retreat instead of closing him down

4 games and he still thinks this shitty lineup will work. Honestly he should be sacked at half time for the sheer incompetence.

You guys gotta go checkout r/soccer matchthread for England, our boy Mainoo is getting some love by all the fans, he deservedly so for keeping us awake from Southgate's sleeping technique.

Mainoo has done more in one game than Saka, Foden and Kane combined in the whole euros. Southgate is an abysmal rodent

Bellingham shit the whole game, falls down constantly and then scores that lmao. Also why the fuck was Kobbie subbed off

Don't ever let England take the lead. The moment they do, it's gonna be a borefest

how the hell Southgate come to every matches in PL, scouting and think this is the best football way with that all resources.

You can almost guarantee Mainoo gets taken off for Gallagher. Southgate fucked this by not making proper changes to the team from kick off. He’s a coward.

This ref is nuts. England deffo gonna get someone sent off at this rate

Kobbie's like the only player that actually looks to play passes in between the lines. The rest look petrified to do anything apart from a safe pass or a hoofball. Hope it doesn't rub off on him.

This England momentum is all Kobbie

The City trio have been fucking abysmal this half.

Only Mainoo makes things happen

Mainoo off 😆🤦🤣

relieved kobbies coming off. bring him home, away from the borderline racist english media

"gareth southgate is his own harshest critic" 😂😂😂 joke

England wins despite southgate’s best efforts to lose this. Walker, Foden, Saka terrible, would change all three of them. Bellingham, Mainoo and Rice had good games. Kane did what he was there for. 

the combination of England and united this season have shaven years off my life.

Love Mainoo's ball carrying ability

Bellingham is one more frustrating half away from going "Nice to see your own fans booing you"

Mainoo played great, now please take him off so these fucks don’t blame him

What’s happening is that Mainoo feels confident to go against the pressing and is standing in a not great position. But the others are scared to pass to him.

It's crazy how Southgate doesn't understand the profile of his own players. He got right-footed Trippier as makeshift LB then puts Foden in front of him who obviously can't become an outlet and cut inside. As a result the left flank is completely dead, Slovakia then focused all the energy to lock up Saka on the right. I feel like Grealish/Rashford/Gordon/Eze would've all done better at LW.

Foden is an actual idiot. He's literally looking directly across the offside line. English players (bar Mainoo) have the lowest collective footballing IQ across the entire continent.

Cannot believe we have a talent like Mainoo. What a blessing

[удалено]

Taking Mainoo off instead of Bellingham is a joke. Bellingham has done fuck all except tell Vamos to the crowd and send in crosses for keeper catching practice

England looking worse since Kobbie came off. Good.

glorified McTerminator with the injury time goal!!!

1 goal away from another Mainoo start!

Suspicious that Foden comes off and England score 2 goals in 3 minutes

Congrats to English. Slovakia tried hard but England had too much quality and luck was on their side.

This Yamal kid is very, very special.

i swear to god if kobbie gets scapegoated for this game

I think I would've sepuku'd if we'd gotten Southgate as our manager What a fucking loser jesus

MATE U HAVE A BENCH FULL OF QUALITY PLAYERS. SUBS THEM FFS? ARE THEY COSTEMIC PRODUCTS? DISPLAY UNITS?

Mainoo off so now I really have no reason to root for England.

Still think Rice is overrated

Mainoo looked a bit tired, has to be the reason he was taken off. Seemed to be our best player though so can leave with his head held high

We would just need McTominay to come on and get a jammy equaliser to complete my flashback

Get Kobbie home and rested Southgate, you are a moron.

fucking real madrid collecting generational talents like its nothing

They took Foden out and England instantly scores 2 Smoking that Shitty pack

Southgate is a lucky bastard, man. Got out of jail.

Gallagher already putting England in trouble lol

Gallagher is just a fast mctominay minus his goal scoring ability 

Southgate has all that talent in his hands and he still chooses to play the most boring brand of football. I hope Slovakia scores just because they already stopped trying.

Ref must have the over on cards this match. Letting them fly

I take back my previous statements about Michael Oliver. This prick makes him look like Collina

Someone is getting sent off in this game

Obviously biased but Mainoo looked like best player for England in the first half to me.

"Give me Mainoo and 10 pieces of wood and I'll win you the Euros"- me

It's yet another Gary Neville worships 'Trent' episode.

Mainoo alone cannot fix the infinite problems Southgate has created. If Palmer and Gordon don’t come on at half time, someone needs to be a patriot and do whats needed here. (Jokes folks) 

Can’t wait to see how good Mainoo is outside of a dysfunctional team

Fucking hell no one seems to trust mainoo

Mainoo is what the whole world things Bellingham is

Foden is fucking gash lol

Watch as the first England sub comes on for Mainoo

Stones refuses to pass to kobbie lmao

City scum

Seems Mainoo was told to stay back...  What a smart decision to tell one of the most dangerous players to stay back.

15 minutes left. Nothing has changed apart from an injury. I am genuinely baffled. Southgate needs some kind of fucking cognitive test.

Kane has been so bad this tournament. Holding us back massively. Hope he won’t be around next tournament

LOOK HOW WALKER IGNORES MAINOO WHAT THE ACTUQL FUCK?

On the bench we have TAA Gordon Wharton Toney Eze Bowen Watkins It's the 80th minute and HE'S NOT CHANGING A FUCKING THING

Lol, Mainoo was too adventurous for him.

Taking off the best player is peak Southgate

Great game for Mainoo, really did well. 7/\`10 performance in a game where most players have had a 5/10 performance.

Taking off Mainoo who was our best player. awesome. but keep foden on lol

Only reason Mainoo's coming off is because he's a kid and the manager doesn't have the balls to take off one of his more established players no matter how crap they've been

The balls on this guy to take off mainoo when bellingham, saka, kane, stones and walker is on the pitch,

This is all on Southgate

All bets are off with Toney on the pitch

England inviting pressure by sitting so deep again

Its the southgate dna

Southgate is fully defensive now

Holy hell yamal is so good

Yamal is just amazing to watch. Incredible player

It is fair to say, whoever wins the Spain vs Germany will mostly win the whole thing. Shame they meet so early. 

No way was that a yellow

All I ask is for Kobbie not to be injured.

Yeah palace can keep Geuhi

Rashford and Shaw would transform this team.

https://preview.redd.it/0stpy8cxxq9d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=571f811f0f4785fdf17488280fa86e0d6ca43b8d Phew

Least deserved equaliser ever.

Pickford is so fucking cringe

Shaw, Mainoo, Hojlund and Eriksen all coming on pre season tour?

Mainoo is so smooth and silky on the ball

Kane when it actually matters is a joke of a player

If only we had been able to replace Kalvin Philips 😢

Saka doing an Antony

I hope the English FA is already looking for Southgate's replacement.

‘done so much for England in 8 years’. Mf couldnt even win a mickey mouse nations league trophy with this England superteam

Shit son!!

The answer was ALWAYS to bench Foden and not Jude. Tourneyball is about moments.

Was it Foden all along?

Such a difference between Spain and England

First foul and a yellow??????? What a JOKE

bummer to get a yellow for that so early. kobbie already showing his quality though

Mainoo playing great already

This ref definitely has a bet on the number of yellow cards in the game

Kobbie is used to these counter situations lol

How can Southgate be this oblivious?. Bellingham, Foden and Kane all occupy the same space, they are not working together yet he still insists on playing the same way.

He’s gonna bin Mainoo at half time, isn’t he?

If I hadn't watch him play for Madrid, I'd be so confused by the Bellingham hype. Hard to believe this is the same player people calling a Ballon d'Or contender just weeks ago.

Another Jacob Steinberg acticle incoming where he points Mainoo not being close enough to Rice and that it's his fault for the goal.

just tuning in, not surprised England are 1-0 down, deserved?

Kobbie is levels above every player in this team it seems

1 big Sunday roast coming up, and it isn't of the food kind either.

We’ve been shit but Mainoo’s been great

I feel like a speedy winger with 215 career g/a's would be perfect right now

England need Watkins, Palmer and either Gordon or Eze to give them some attacking impetus.

Oh wow, no changes, guys Southgate has either lost his remaining 2 brain cells or this mother fucker has sold his country. 

That is a sunday league type offside. how tf is Foden so forward there.

City players are fucking stinking the joint out!

even our chuckle brothers jones and smalling were better than this lmao

Nahhh kobbie is actually miles above anyone but the pr darling will get the praise at the end of the

Mainoo is the only one trying to do something,so I expect him to be the first one subbed off

Good thing about this is that even if England do crash out in embarassing fashion, there's no way Mainoo could be scapegoated as he's one of the only positive things about England today

Mainoo is the only player distributing the ball around side to side to brake up the defensive shape. England other player need to play the same. They are too rigid and easy to defense against.

Mainoo vs Slovakia 

If Gallagher comes on for Mainoo, I’ll be so pissed. He’s been the MOTM for me so far, England wise

I swear if Mainoo comes off for Gallagher... I know it will happen but I am already pissed at it

Really hope he doesn’t bring Shaw on. Could see him getting fucked and missing the start of the season. Still can’t believe we approved him going

John Stones is shit

GET FODEN OFF FFS HE’S BEEN SHIT ALL TOURNAMENT SOUTHGATE IS TTP

The incompetence shown by Southgate at this tournament should get him sacked as soon as the full time whistle goes.

Ref is dogshit. Foden is dogshit. Southgate is dogshit. Mainoo is fucking brilliant

I feel no sorrow for England. The FA deserves this, fans perhaps not.

See you in preseason Kobs

The handful of times I’ve had the chance to watch Jude Bellingham he is so bad. I don’t understand it

Mainoo was the best player out there

At least we will see the back of Southgate after this.

Fodens robotic pep programming has him passing to players only wearing blue

I hope the English FA is already looking for Southgate's replacement as we speak.

What a fucking goal Bellingham

Jude the savior

As soon as Foden gone Bellingham woke up

There's going to be a whole 95 minutes of football that will be completely forgotten about tomorrow.

Saka dives so much. It's unreal.

As a Georgian Man Utd fan, fuck off Rodri.

How is this kid 16

watch rival fans say "ooo england only scored after kobbie came off"

We should counter with “England scored as soon as Foden came off”

Feel bad for Slovakia

Slovakia equaliser please, for some entertainment

Southgate is the highest paid manager at the euros. Let that sink in

The ref is getting a little trigger happy...

England are rubbish. Sack Southgate

LMAO, England are so so bad.

Hope we see Palmer at halftime. None of England's front 4 have warranted their places over the last 3 games.

Imagine being the best of the best of one of the top footballing nations yet you fail to show an ounce of attacking threat against bloody Slovakia.

It's like no one knows what to do on that pitch. They don't want to play through the middle they don't want to run behind lines they don't want to take a man on. It's maddening

just bring on palmer and gordon ffs. foden and bellingham are shocking
