Roy Keane's scathing review of England despite comeback win against Slovakia - Euro 2024 TV watch

You had to feel sorry for Gareth Southgate in his pre-match interview with ITV’s Gabriel Clarke, after all, he’s not been the one passing it sideways and out of play.

But people hate him. As much, I suspect, for how he is, as a man, as his management. Eternally reasonable, this is no environment for a decent fella.

Roy wears a particularly grumpy expression and at one point says ‘Gareth is the manager, he picks the team.’ Wow, such insight. Neville praises England fans for their loyalty. You might call it something else considering the poor fare they endure. Roy doesn’t really rate Slovenia and thinks England will win. An interview with Kobbie Mainoo, who starts, shows a very young lad from Stockport. He seems like a nice kid whose hero was Ronaldinho.

They build him up, the knocking down will happen later, inevitably There is no side to him yet and no cynicism. Roy is a big fan of his and likes how he wants the ball and says he’s doing stuff that it took him 10 years to learn. No one says he’s untainted by past failures and that’s why they’re optimistic about him.

Laura Woods, who's having a good tournament, is once again pitch side with Karen Carney with the midges, but it doesn’t add much, though the word ‘Slovakia’ said in a Brummie accent by Carney is an impressive thing. The amount of hate she gets is ridiculous.

There’s a lot of praising Marc Guehi, which feels like a curse. He is booked in the first minutes. Wrighty bemoans England’s left side because Trippier is too predictable but it’s down the right that gets exposed in
