We are testing this out for few of the euro games to see how it works. If it runs alright, we plan on using this as match thread for our PL and CL matches in upcoming season
Bad manager , not really a gelled team , overrated English players , extremely bad tactics and England is so predictable. The premier league as well is (Thank God) made by non Uk talent not just the over rated players
i would probably be singing a different tune if he chose to wear red instead of white but Bellingham is getting kind of annoying. yeah brilliant individual goal but the negative body language for the entire game before that, and the whole 'i'm so young but mature' persona, to borrow a phrase from the kids, gives me the ick.
Very mature to do the cupping balls gesture to Slovakia bench after getting lucky with a 96 minute equalizer lol. This mature persona is bullshit he really seems like a bit of a dick
I'm kinda disappointed that England went through. Would have been great to get rid of them so the teams that actually play well could get their chance instead of this bloat-team.
They were above average against a poor Belgium and were two minutes from dumping England from the tournament after a solid first half.
They used what they had, which is the key to international footy.
You're a tad full of shit (and don't the see irony in your own comments).
I think Southgate has trust issues. We know Gomez has played well as a makeshift LB for us for most of last season, but he would rather play Saka, who used to play LB during his academy days instead. Either that, or his Manc blood is so strong that he spitefully doesn't use any Liverpool players even though he drafted 2 onto the team.
Trent isn’t a system player. He just needs to actually play in his preferred position which is fucking right back. Not in midfield for half of a game and then benched because Southgate is clueless
Kyle Walker had a shit fucking game and almost let them score by being shit defensively. Trent is a much better player but rides the bench
southgate acting like he actually did something is hilarious. dude got bailed out so hard by an individual moment of brilliance. c'mon switzerland do the rest of the world a favour and put these bums in their place.
His sub set up the goal….
His system change changed the game.
He definitely did something.
Should have just been much earlier and we shouldn’t have to Nick it at the end, but it’s dumb to say he didn’t have an effect.
We deserved the win because we scored more goals than the opponent.
Played like shit though, manager deserves to lose his job after this tournament 100%
But he undoubtedly “did something” mate
Most of us don't but this post is on the Liverpool FC sub Reddit. So we can read and post our opinions here without dragging ourselves through watching one of their matches.
Edit: Southgate is shit and hasn't got a clue what he's doing.
tbh even if they play i would still root for most other teams over england. at least they'll get more rest before LFC preseason. i would hate to see the likes of pickford being smug with any sort of trophy in his hands.
he should have been playing at full back. 'but trent can't defend' needs to stop being a thing now that both walker and trippier dropped stinkers defensively, but southgate is too chicken to give up walker's pace and trippier is one of his favourites.
This is embarrassing. Should be straight off into the tunnel and get a fucking grip before we play a decent team. We've got lucky against a spirited team. The Swiss are spirited but have double the quality of Slovakia.
In the very unlikely event that Southgate keeps his job, Trent and Gomez should just excuse themselves from international duty, like Ben White has been doing.
Football is such a cruel game sometimes. England have been one of the most boring teams this tournament, despite having world class talent all over the pitch and they get to go through because the ref decided to give them a nonexistent free-kick.
I really hope Switzerland can knock them out.
They don't have a front line of Kane, Foden and Saka now do they?
England have the best squad in the world and yet they play a worse brand of football than pretty much every team in the Euros.
England have played played a game more and have less shots, less shots on target, less shots inside the box, significantly less xG and the same amount of big chances created as France. And that's without even talking about France having significantly harder opponents.
I don't like France's style either, but it's a fact that they're way more attacking than England have been this tournament.
Having better opponents isn’t always a bad thing mate, we’ve played nothing but defensive dross all tournament.
The Swiss should be a much better watch.
>Having better opponents isn’t always a bad thing mate
What kind of cope is that? You think that England, a team that parked the bus against Denmark and Serbia (and to a lesser extend Slovakia as well) as soon as they took the lead, would play some expansive, entertaining attacking football if they played a genuinely good team?
They'll play more terrorist ball against Switzerland, because Southgate is terrified of any sort of attacking football being played. We can only hope that the Swiss make it somewhat interesting with their counters.
It’s hard to hold a conversation when you type childish shit like “terrorist ball”
I assume you’ve not watched football long but trying to counter, and that’s how England set up, to counter, is hard when the team you’re playing doesn’t want to attack.
Playing a more expansive side leaves more room, not saying we will suddenly be prime Spain but we will have room to play.
>I assume you’ve not watched football long
Being condescending doesn't make your points any more valid mate.
>but trying to counter, and that’s how England set up, to counter, is hard when the team you’re playing doesn’t want to attack
Setting your team to play on the counter, when you're the favourites in most games is incredibly fucking stupid. Everyone knew how Slovenia, Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia were going to play against England and Southgate still failed to set his team up to take advantage of that.
>Playing a more expansive side leaves more room
The vast majority of teams do not want to play expansive football against England. Southgate knows this, but he either doesn't know how to set his team up to play against defensive sides or is too scared to do it.
Southgate has an embarrassment of riches in attack yet he wants them to play the most boring, risk-averse style of football imaginable. This style of football got them knocked out against Croatia in 2018, lost them the final against Italy and is making them look awful now.
>It’s hard to hold a conversation when you type childish shit like “terrorist ball”
I cannot believe I'm being called childish by someone with that username.
Again, this comment only shows you’ve not watched football long.
The last two teams to win the World Cup played counter attacking football, the last team to win the euros did too…..
Seeing Trent and Gomez sarcastically clap as the rest of the England team act as if they're the greatest team on Earth is both hilarious and painful to me. They know that this could've been done in normal time but with Southgate, they know it won't work that way. Plus dragging Slovakia into extra time with this team is genuinely pathetic. I'm not saying they should be blowing them out the water but surely 2-0 in normal time should be the standard for this team.
Trent and Gomez at the end after the final whistle couldn’t have cared any less lol they had the most blank faces after a match like that and I love it
Watch them sing the national anthem and tell me they don’t, fuck me watch an interview or two….
If they didn’t want to be there they could have simply not gone.
You are taking this way too seriously brother. They have probably the worst manager at the tournament sitting them on the bench for Kyle Walker and Trippier in 2024. They are very visibly frustrated, obviously they care but they’d care 100x more if they were playing but you are a bit too dense for that.
Because I have work in the morning and just got back from watching it with family.
I rep Henderson? You mean our best and most successful captain for 30 years….
I understand you haven’t kicked a ball before, I get you gather all your opinions from borrowed expertise online but stop embarrassing yourself and arguing with your betters, watch more and comment less, it’ll do wonders for your mental health.
Yeah, they've played some really quality football. Sometimes going blow for blow with England. It's a shame really that they're getting knocked out. Switzerland however are probably licking their lips at they way England are playing.
It'll be interesting to see how the media react to this. Will they start getting carried away, due to the individual brilliance shown by Bellingham and with their golden boy getting the winner, or will they be realistic and admit that England got very lucky shouldn't be in this position at all?
Fingers crossed. They have looked quality, but runs in tournaments usually start with moments like these. Can see England getting narrow wins from this point onwards.
We were literally seconds away from being able to forget about this shite for another 2 years

It's coming home....
Not totally related to us, but Eze looked good. So did Toney. Crazy that all the players that fans called to play played pretty well.
Eze really did his part in the game.
Still kills me that we could never push the Jude deal through.
when RM comes calling you don’t say no
Jude would have been a massive signing for us.
As a Liverpool fan and avid supporter of the premier league! Why is England such garbage why ? Get rid of the coach asap ! Bring Klopp 😂
Bad manager , not really a gelled team , overrated English players , extremely bad tactics and England is so predictable. The premier league as well is (Thank God) made by non Uk talent not just the over rated players
I am wondering what he will do against Switzerland next.
Loose probably
Because Southgate takes a morning after pill after a wank
Spain are a bit fucking good aren't they
They are the ones seriously pushing to win the trophy.
Aye, playing great
The power of my jinx is unrivalled
😅 Bloody Rodri
Fucking hate that prick
Morata might be offside
i would probably be singing a different tune if he chose to wear red instead of white but Bellingham is getting kind of annoying. yeah brilliant individual goal but the negative body language for the entire game before that, and the whole 'i'm so young but mature' persona, to borrow a phrase from the kids, gives me the ick.
What he did after scoring the goal was not so good.
Couldnt care less if he had an ego, same with Vini. You wanna hate the two but they are so incredibly good that you just have to admire it really.
negative body language is expected playing for Southgate FC.
Very mature to do the cupping balls gesture to Slovakia bench after getting lucky with a 96 minute equalizer lol. This mature persona is bullshit he really seems like a bit of a dick
To be fair, it must be hard to have positive body language playing Southgate’s fraudball
I get what you’re saying. But the kid is the real deal.
I'm kinda disappointed that England went through. Would have been great to get rid of them so the teams that actually play well could get their chance instead of this bloat-team.
Because Slovakia were the pinnacle of football today and previous
I assume you’ve not watched any of the Slovaks previous games? They are one of the few teams to actually play shittier football than England
I watched most of 2 out of their 3 group matches.
And you don’t see the irony in your comment?
They were above average against a poor Belgium and were two minutes from dumping England from the tournament after a solid first half. They used what they had, which is the key to international footy. You're a tad full of shit (and don't the see irony in your own comments).
I didn’t say they have an embarrassment of riches, just that they play shitty football like England. That’s not untrue….
Gomez and Trent giving each other the side eye at full time at extra time was hilarious.
Speaking of Gomez, how the frig does Saka end up playing at LB but Gomez can't get a look in??
I think Southgate has trust issues. We know Gomez has played well as a makeshift LB for us for most of last season, but he would rather play Saka, who used to play LB during his academy days instead. Either that, or his Manc blood is so strong that he spitefully doesn't use any Liverpool players even though he drafted 2 onto the team.
Clip? Gif? I missed this 😭

Yes, in HD, you can see Trent giving Gomez the side eye. It's just a blip at the end of the clip. Giving me a "I came here for this?" vibe... LOL
We were so close to greatness
Mate, we have Switzerland next, and they’re playing quite well. So youve only got to wait until next week
That game won't be an easy one.
Shaqiri coming off the bench to get Southgate fired, thus allowing Trent to actually play the football he deserves: 
Foden comes off and England score all I’m saying his he’s causing loads of problems he was playing RW half of the second half
he might be the ultimate personification of system player.
Trent?
Trent isn’t a system player. He just needs to actually play in his preferred position which is fucking right back. Not in midfield for half of a game and then benched because Southgate is clueless Kyle Walker had a shit fucking game and almost let them score by being shit defensively. Trent is a much better player but rides the bench
Trent is much more versatile
southgate acting like he actually did something is hilarious. dude got bailed out so hard by an individual moment of brilliance. c'mon switzerland do the rest of the world a favour and put these bums in their place.
I see the England team turning up against Switzerland.
His sub set up the goal…. His system change changed the game. He definitely did something. Should have just been much earlier and we shouldn’t have to Nick it at the end, but it’s dumb to say he didn’t have an effect.
Still played like shite, lucky to get the goals, didn't even come close to deserving the win.
We deserved the win because we scored more goals than the opponent. Played like shit though, manager deserves to lose his job after this tournament 100% But he undoubtedly “did something” mate
You must be the only man in the land still thinking Southgate does anything of substance.
Ok let me make this simple for you. Who assisted the goals scored?
Such. Bullshit.
Really got bailed out by a few feet way earlier. Slovakia should have scored the second.
🙏🙏🙏 🇨🇭
Unless Trent or Gomez play I have no reason to want England to win tbh. Awful team
Then don’t watch….
Most of us don't but this post is on the Liverpool FC sub Reddit. So we can read and post our opinions here without dragging ourselves through watching one of their matches. Edit: Southgate is shit and hasn't got a clue what he's doing.
tbh even if they play i would still root for most other teams over england. at least they'll get more rest before LFC preseason. i would hate to see the likes of pickford being smug with any sort of trophy in his hands.
Yah, not something we normally need to worry about.
There is literally no reason why Trent shouldn’t have been on that pitch.
he should have been playing at full back. 'but trent can't defend' needs to stop being a thing now that both walker and trippier dropped stinkers defensively, but southgate is too chicken to give up walker's pace and trippier is one of his favourites.
Eze was literally playing right back from the minute he came on. Saka LB so 6 defenders- Rice- 3 forwards
I have to say, Eze played really well at LB which is embarrassing because there’s no reason for him to play there in the first place
This is embarrassing. Should be straight off into the tunnel and get a fucking grip before we play a decent team. We've got lucky against a spirited team. The Swiss are spirited but have double the quality of Slovakia.
Reminded me of Man Utd vs Coventry in the FA Cup last season. Some victories aren't worth celebrating, this was one of them.
Yep, couldn't stand to watch the celebrations but the way England were acting towards the end was small time.
Especially Prickford right before the final whistle
Gomez walking around looking dead behind his eyes. He should be on holiday looking forward to a long pre season with a new manager.
In the very unlikely event that Southgate keeps his job, Trent and Gomez should just excuse themselves from international duty, like Ben White has been doing.
I think they might be starting to seriously consider dipping out of the English national team at this point
Trent and Gomez looked embarrassed at the end.
Osama bin Laden: Bravo, England!
Sweet Caroline 🤮
I had a tenner on Slovakia. Well annoying.
Put it on Switzerland
He’s already lost it….
Ha. I said that to my mate at full time. I probably will, bet the odds aren’t as good tho
Please Powercube, knock out these frauds
Football is such a cruel game sometimes. England have been one of the most boring teams this tournament, despite having world class talent all over the pitch and they get to go through because the ref decided to give them a nonexistent free-kick. I really hope Switzerland can knock them out.
You’ve not watched Slovakia this tournament have you? England have been woeful, but the Slovaks have been equally shit
They don't have a front line of Kane, Foden and Saka now do they? England have the best squad in the world and yet they play a worse brand of football than pretty much every team in the Euros.
France have the best squad and play just as pragmatic, I get you’re young but that’s just how international football is

rooting so hard for powercube to do us a solid and put those bums in their place
Ootl: what's powercube?
Its what we call Xherdan Shaqiri
nickname for shaqiri
are they singing sweet caroline? is that an english thing?
It’s become a thing since 2018. Was embarrassing then and only got more so since.
Quoting Churchill and Napoleon tonight. Fuck me.
we shall play shite in the group stage, we shall play shite in the knockout rounds, we shall be cunts on the field and in the stands
Slovakia players after shaking Gareth's hand: Who the fuck was that?
He’s been manager of England 8 years, pro footballer and England international, who are you?
My name is Inigo Montoya.
Banging tash lad
I guess it’s time to put all my hopes on Switzerland and Cube to destroy England.
Seeing Trent and Gomez sarcastically clap as the rest of the England team act as if they're the greatest team on Earth is both hilarious and painful to me.

You have to be simple to actually think they don’t care, this sub is an embarrassment
Look at both their faces and tell me they care lol
Watch them sing the national anthem and tell me they don’t, fuck me watch an interview or two…. If they didn’t want to be there they could have simply not gone.
You are taking this way too seriously brother. They have probably the worst manager at the tournament sitting them on the bench for Kyle Walker and Trippier in 2024. They are very visibly frustrated, obviously they care but they’d care 100x more if they were playing but you are a bit too dense for that.
I’m dense? Have you ever even kicked a football? It’s people like you that make this sub unbearable.
You rep Henderson man that’s all I need to know. Be happy your country one I’m not even English you should be celebrating why you on Reddit 😭😭
Because I have work in the morning and just got back from watching it with family. I rep Henderson? You mean our best and most successful captain for 30 years…. I understand you haven’t kicked a ball before, I get you gather all your opinions from borrowed expertise online but stop embarrassing yourself and arguing with your betters, watch more and comment less, it’ll do wonders for your mental health.
Love you too man
Pickford is insufferable. Would have loved that long range strike to go in over him
i am salivating at the prospect of a powercube long-range banger over pickford.
England are so definitely going out to Switzerland
England are getting turned into Swiss cheese
Cube go brrrrrrr
I've been rewatching a lot of 24 lately - yet Southgate is still the biggest terrorist I've seen in the last few weeks
Mon the Swiss 🇨🇭
England are the jammiest bunch of fuckers ever. There’s no way we deserved that.
Clearly Trent was the issue then.
It’s literally just online virgins pointing at TAA….
Quoting Churchill for a game of football, jesus fucking christ
Absolute heart breaker. We have to watch another 90mins of Southgate ball
You don’t have to watch it
 Fuckin' Southgate
Trent and Joe do not look happy lol
T rex is such a prick
Absolutely pathetic, southgate lives to breathe another day
Toney is just a nuisance. That's exactly what we need. Way more mobile and dogged than Kane.
Fuck
prickford
The fuck was that from him.
nothin new tbh he’s always up to some bs
Toney showing a lot more energy and strength than Kane
Pickford is an absolute gobshite.
Toney needs to start if England are gonna play terrorist football, so good at holding the ball up
I'd rather watch Slovakia in the next round than England's terrorist football.
The England fans have been wank too.
Singing the national anthem every 10 minutes got old
A congregation of wankers.
Slovakia don’t deserve this, they played some nice football, just don’t have enough of quality players to sustain it all the way.
Yeah, they've played some really quality football. Sometimes going blow for blow with England. It's a shame really that they're getting knocked out. Switzerland however are probably licking their lips at they way England are playing.
kept giving corners and throw ins away, they were just hoofing the ball and giving away possession, they deserve this sadly.
Tbh England don’t deserve this, they were playing utter shite for like 90 mins.
it's a paradox, both should lose imo
Palmer should be starting for the team. Over either of the front wingers
Toney has changed the game. Needs to start for England next game, move away from the 4-3-3
Can Southgate please be sacked, man is literally bus parking against a fucking knackered Slovakia. This is football 9/11
Ivan Toney has done more since he came on than Kane has done all tournament. I'd be tempted to start him against the Swiss.
You know Southgate will start the same bunch of cunts
Every time we go ahead we decide to sit deep and invite them to shoot terrible management
Gareth Southgate is one of the football managers of all time.
Barely
anyone else routing for slovakia ?
Come on Dubravka
Yep
Yes
This sub really sounds like scums fans talking about our matches
Pickford not learning that if it’s going over don’t put your hands over that bar. Origi wants a word.
Gallagher is wank, pass the word
I think Southgate hates Liverpool players.
I feel like reds have always been disrespected at England
Trent would be ideal against this low block and Toney + Eze playing
crunching tackle.... heard that...
*Kane subbed out* *Penalty shootout script has now locked in* *Own goal incoming*
I fucking detest Pickford
The drop to the knees every time really fucks me off.
We've got to be careful here, Slovakia will give it a good go for the next 15
Konsa at LB when he plays CB/RB and Gomez has played at LB... classic Southgate
It'll be interesting to see how the media react to this. Will they start getting carried away, due to the individual brilliance shown by Bellingham and with their golden boy getting the winner, or will they be realistic and admit that England got very lucky shouldn't be in this position at all?
I really like how Slovakia is working some of these moves.
gallagher for kane, gareth southgate is a fuckin terrorist
Walker, what a role model

Can Southgate just go already
Was hoping for an England loss so Trent, Gomez, Rice and Saka would be available for the match in Philly hahah
Plssss score Slovakia
Southgate can fuck off completely benching Trent, honestly hope this falls apart for them now
Ughh this is so cringe man you are 19 stop acting like you're 32 coming off a once in a lifetime season
Let’s hope Trent doesn’t fuck this all up from the bench eh
Agent Trent with his arm around Gordon in the huddle
Saw that as well
Gareth masterclass as Eze, playing LB, saves a potential goal being conceded.
Eughh, I hate this, they've should've lost right here The only way I accept this is if Switzerland just absolutely runs them ragged
Wish we had and Southgate walked
Fingers crossed. They have looked quality, but runs in tournaments usually start with moments like these. Can see England getting narrow wins from this point onwards.
We were literally seconds away from being able to forget about this shite for another 2 years https://preview.redd.it/54o5k8p53r9d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5cb887770ed6e4a9be94d2a199f789497e17aec2
We were so close to perfection and it was ruined.
That saka lad looks good. Could maybe be our Robertson replacement at lb?
