00:00He needs to up his game and make sure that if those that's not pulling their weight
00:05then get them off the field, Gareth, and put those that's going to pull their weight on
00:10and put the effort in to play the game. Even kids can play better than that.
00:18Gareth, if you need to get some younger team members on, get them on and get them on that pitch.
00:23I don't have anything against him but I feel like maybe he should listen a bit more to,
00:26you know, the pundits. I feel like he just kind of does his own thing, doesn't listen to anyone.
00:31That's the problem. I think he should take in the advice from everyone else, you know what I mean?
00:35Playing too defensive, not attacking. I mean, we should be scoring against Slovenia, really.
00:39The first game they did well. The second game, well, you know,
00:43were a bit iffy but, you know what I mean, this time, yeah, they could come back into it and
00:47they could actually win it. I've got a feeling they could do it.
00:50I don't support England so I guess I have like a view of everyone else. I'd say don't bias you.
00:56And you have a terrible manager. You have great players but a terrible manager so...
01:03The manager didn't get his job on merit. He got it on a technicality because someone else got
01:09sacked so he just got put in place and it should have been a temporary solution.
01:14He's not utilising the players properly. I'm not a fan of Trent Alexander-Arnold either.
01:18The players are overpaid. I mean, in this economy now, I think there should be a cutback
01:24on players' wages and managers and coaches and, you know, who can pay
01:29the money, the gate money, that's asking to appear at the stadiums?
01:33We're not football fans but I've got a lot of friends...
01:35Go on, England!
01:36Yeah, I have a lot of friends that like football. They literally could be like,
01:39oh, England's coming on. Like, they literally turn it on. I never really expect that because
01:44they're like kind of introverted, my friends, some of them, and they're the ones that like football.
01:49It's weird.
01:51I've seen all the other matches. I must say, I'm not overly positive
01:55but, you know, I believe they can do it.
