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.
