Group C 'finale'
England 0 - 0 Slovenia
Denmark 0 - 0 Serbia
I don't think I have many words. We did the same thing with the same people, and the same thing happened. A stultifyingly boring and abject performance again from a team bereft of energy, pace, patterns or plan.
We now look forward to political straplines about "tough opposition", "topping the group", "not conceding" and so forth. Literally the only positivity gleaned from all of this is that we have proven that Tripper at left back, Arnold or Gallagher in CM and Foden and Bellingham playing on top of each other doesn't work. Likewise that Kane in this system actually limits us.
Now it is over to Gareth and whether he can act on the glaring evidence before him, because the games only get harder now.
I'd have switched over to the other game, but for the fact that it was also a stalemate, though we left ourselves a single kick of a ball away from a tie with Germany and the prospect of Spain and France in future rounds.
Lucky boy Southgate...now swallow that pride and sort it out.
