It’s a similar vibe to the men’s team under Southgate . . . . . if you insist on staying “loyal” to players who are clearly out of form or lack pace and tenacity teams like Germany or Spain etc will steamroll over you. You need defenders with pace , midfield terriers and clinical strikers. Russo did well considering, Hemp ok , team as a whole looked disjointed. Just my honest opinion.

[@kimbirch1202]

@stevesilk51 I think the attack is OK, and Hemp and Russo played well. Bright is slow , although good in the air. Only Stanway runs around like a terrier , and is combative in midfield, and this is where they kept getting over- run.

[@norbertmaes6083]

Wow 5 goals from FC Bayern 😉

[@batemanlife]

Need to stop picking out of form players. Leah W has unfortunately been poor most of the season and cant play high with that defence against a team like Germany.

[@SimonDover]

I agree with you. She's working through some issues. But she's a stabilizer and leader on and off the pitch. And everyone's waiting for her return. She hasn't played an attacking pass in ages. She used to be world famous for them. If she starts again, things will go wild.

[@dolphmanity]

Leah Williamson cannot start against the US. It will be a disaster.

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

The bottom line is Germany are better than us. Spain are also better than us. We'll have to make great strides if we are to retain the European Championship.

[@nicholasbradford8976]

It’s the truth

[@torstenkaudt4793]

I don't think so. England, Spain, Germany and France are pretty much on one level. Ok, maybe england should have won because of a german team in a transition, missing players like Popp, Hegering, Oberdorf, Schüller and Hendrich. It was a game of individual mistakes and both defensive lines have to improve. Btw. I really like how Stanway was tzalking with the german players after the match. I seems she made her impact in germany not only with her skills but also as a person.

[@padimcclay9894]

tbf we didn't lose cause of Russo, she's hasn't been on form for arsenal atm, but she put a fair showing I thought. We lost cause of poor defensive choices and a lack of energy in the midfield which Germany broke down way too easily.

[@SimonDover]

@@AllInTheGame01 Just voted England player of the year. But nevermind, I kind of agree. But Russo and Toone in combination have saved the Lionesses several times. And will again. I want Rachel and Nikita back too. But not for Russo.

[@dare2dreamd2d23]

But surprisingly Russo was better for England than she has been for Arsenal.

[@SimonDover]

@@dare2dreamd2d23 Lineker and Ellen White were poachers. But most strikers need a strike partner that feeds them passes. In the Lionesses she has Tooney and a couple more. Plus everyone feels more confident surrounded by their friends. Arsenal will take a bit longer for her to find someone to feed off of.

[@franciscoarzaga4384]

You’re the one who is obsessed !

[@For_Cruyff_Sake]

I think Sarina should have scheduled a warm up game first like against South africa to hone the tactics and THEN take on a hard core Germany

[@LauraLucyGrace]

On the other hand, it could’ve looked like a good time to play against a german side that had never played under their new coach and was playing with a whole new formation, trying things out for the first time Luckily for us, it penned out though ☺️

[@For_Cruyff_Sake]

@LauraLucyGrace sure but it can still wait 3 days. Germany has also been playing together through the summer in the olympics while the last time Lionesses played together was a friendly against Italy in February 2024 so understandably a little rustier than Germany. England could have camped down in a low block to end with a 4-0 scoreline but they put up a good fight and I don't think that fighting spirit is appreciated as much.

[@bobbrowne3027]

Bit late to add but the warm up game against S.A. we nearly lost as well and should have. Too slow , crap defence ( (thank you Williamson for another give away ) , this team is 2nd rate now.

Not sure why they were complaining in the studio, that match was entertaining and really exciting. That first half was the best first 45 I’ve seen in a long time. If England are going to lose at least lose in a memorable match. Yes Germany were a lot better but Russo and Hemp were millimetres offside to possibly make it 5-4. We showed fight and we didn’t give up. We’ll bounce back against South Africa on Tuesday. Something is not quite right with Williamson, she looks like she’s really struggling and I hope she’s ok. Carter and Bright for me should be replaced with Lyzell / Fisk and Charles. Toone understandably hasn’t been herself since her dad passed away. Maya Le Tissier, Greenwood, Naz and Park looked class when they came on.

Oh dear....The result tells only part of the story. Not that I am complaining, being German, but this loss was down to Wiegman. One cannot play a 4-3-3 against this German Team, as was shown, they will punish you. The worrying thing, from an England point of view, this was only half a 1st Team, not with Players retiring and missing through injury. This result could have been so much worse for England and I am wondering if Wiegman has shot her bolt, as this is not the first time she has got it totally wrong in recent times. If not for Berger's blunder, this game would have been done and dusted a long time before, despite how the scoring went. Entertaining game, but worrying times for England Women.

@@dolphmanity Although true and you have a point, USA played with 2 Defensive Midfield Players, England did not really play with any. Also true what you say about Williamson.

Wiegman played with a pretty flat Midfield, to accompany that 3 Woman Attacking-Line, that along with two Wing-Backs, that love to attack, managed to let Germany get behind them and cause all sorts of destruction, but Wiegman seeing that within the first 10 minutes, still did nothing about it. I remember Mourinho, the 2004 Season (I think), Chelsea played West Brom. Chelsea went 1:0 down and in the first 15 mins, looked awful and the formation and tactic, just was not right and certainly not working. Within that 15 mins, Mourinho put on 3 Subs, changed the formation and Chelsea won 4:1. That is what great Managers do They do not sit there, cross their fingers and toes, hoping for things to change. Wiegman did it last night, Southgate was doing it all the time.

Interesting point. Its Jill with her height who gets the ball heads it and and then brilliantly gets it to Cjloe Kelly who then manufactured the corner, that wins the Euros. Height and skill matter . Both are now lacking a bit with Jill retired and Chloe on even later to try and get a winning goal or defend a lead.

[@rnsc8342]

Defense v problematic. Hampton couldnt be expected to cover that hole. Bright and Bronze defending and attacking leaves the defence even weaker,. Muscular or very fast players may now need similar to stop them. Attack a bit odd. Hemp on one flanźk looks overworked at club and this level and is predictable doing the job of two wingers. Mead scored brilliantly in 2022 sitting nearer goal but doesnt match Hemp as a winger. Ella is brilliant at key moments , or not. Rousso needs more good balls fired in to her to work with. If you dont feed her, she doesnt score. Sarina's support for Chloe Kelly looked very sound though. Her role seems to be to come on late as the fire brigade, rested and with a lot of speed. She does that well - racing up and down strengthening both the defence and attack when both looked understandably tired, and she even got to play her game of keeping the ball out of play when the German attack needed stifling. You just wonder though if using the old Hemp + Kelly side swapping combination throughout - with very speedy wingers with powerful shots on two flanks creeping in , or firing balls in , might be less predictable and pose the opponents more problems.

I had already accepted losing at the EUROS. Was going to enjoy it anyway. Now I think we might be back. The forwards haven't gone hunting in packs like that in some time. And their frustration levels are going to be high now. We now probably have the world's best AND 2nd best goalie. And everyone has FINALLY understood the defensive problems.

True to the comments, I agree objectively. Being non-european myself, Lionesses NEED Immediate overhaul and Reality Checks. They cannot (CANNOT) be champions in this form. All the Best, then again, may the Best team win.👍

Was at the game in Dublin a victory papered over a poor performance, sat behind the English bench Sarina up and down all game due to a poor goalkeeping telly performance how is Hampton first choice keeper, poor for club and country 👍⚽👊😑

[@FreeMichael_2024]

No matter how the game ended, it was fun and could have gone the other way. You could also get nostalgic because you could see mostly real English and German girls on both sides. I don't want to be misunderstood, but our societies have changed a lot, which you can see especially in the men's teams. But please, I can also live with the new realities and we are all human and it's just a nostalgic feeling.

[@Harvey1930-y6y]

It might seem harsh but I blame sarina wiegman for this loss her team selection was awful and played Hampton over earps like cmon thats a disgrace and didn’t sub or Millie bright early enough when it was obvious she was having a bad game I wish we sacked sarina in the summer and give Emma hayes the job instead

[@keitumetsemmarobamoilwa2480]

Arsenal fan criticising Chelsea players while Leah Williamson was so clumsy and awful shame on you

[@DerekLangdon-w9e]

Do you think Emma Hayes would choose England and a £400 thousand salary over a multi million dollar USWNT contract?…….But you are right, Sarina Wiegman needs to go…As it stands the lionesses have no chance at the Euro’s or World Cup!

[@kevinmcnicoll8649]

Honestly Earps is the most over rated player there's ever been in the women's game. She had 2 years of being at a really good level for England but has never been great at club level Hampton is the future and plays for a better club side than Earps

[@Xroma09]

Williamson is coasting on this team because of her being the captain of England for a long time. Greenwood is miles better at both defending and passing.

[@pdaniaful]

@@Xroma09 I'm a Chelsea fan, I disagree with your assessment of Williamson there, she's a good all round defender, she can spot openings and make good passes forward, she just had a bad game tonight, also, I think she needs to bulk up a bit, she's so thin! that's why she gets easily shoved off the ball.
