It seems to me that Southgate is the only person in the country who believes we need two holding midfielders. This is one of the major things holding us back and stiffling us.

Fuck me.....he's Kalvin Phillps not Lionel Messi.

Said in the first half it was like watching a pub team.

He is a timid excuse of a manager. If he had anything about him he'd have made sure we put Italy to the sword after Luke Shaw's goal against them in the last final but instead of going for the jugular we did what all Southgate teams do - we went into our protective shell and tried to hold on to the one nil. Italy were a poor side and nothing to be afraid of unless you're Gareth Southgate of course.

For services to England's opponents presumably.

Had days of listening to politicians not answering the question posed to them and then along comes Southgate and trumps them all - and Lineker and Ferdinand have the cheek to say he was honest.

It was worse than that.

Southgate makes a simple game difficult - that's his main attribute.

Here's Kane with the age old cliche 'there's no easy games in tournament football' Change the record man.

Exactly, we spent most of the game retreating 20 yards en masse every time Denmark got the ball, it's abject fear - you can only imagine how we'll play against the likes of Germany, Portugal, France and Spain and what they will do to us. Southgate instils fear and takes away all the things England's best players are good at.

Roy Keane said before a ball was kicked that Trent would be found out in midfield and he was spot on.

Kyle Walker talking some absolute rubbish.

No point interviewing Southgate - there'll be nothing we haven't heard time and time again.

A pretty low bar.

The harshest criticism for me is that this performance has forced me to make Hjobjerg man of the match - that's a disgrace.

It's already here for all to see.

Southgate somehow contrives to turn great players into a very poor team.

Does it really matter who we get - this England side is very limited.

The team play is miles better.

Better already and Rice now only has to do the job of one man.

You don't think we might get beat here?

As soon as Denmark get the ball our whole team backs off 20 yards. It's abject fear and it comes from Southgate.

Body language not great as players come up the tunnel.

No movement off the ball, nobody attempting to take up positions between the lines, big spaces left by Denmark but nobody bothers to move into them, giving Denmark all the time and space on the ball - if this continues we'll lose this game. Southgate needs to make massive tactical changes to get this team playing because right now we look pathetic - not sure Southgate has the nous.

Just my opinion based on what I'm seeing. This is walking football at its worst with no passion, urgency or dynamism. Driving me mad and the BBC panel agree.
