Four games played, and EVERY game southgate has persisted in playing the same team, when clearly the England team is NOT functioning correctly..in fact, England have stunk the Euros out!!
Easily one of the worst performing teams, and it sits 100% with southgate!
Let's just go over what his set up is:
....................Pickford.......
Walker...Stones..Guehi...Trippier
..........Bellingham...Rice..........
.........TAA/Gallach/Mainoo
Saka............Kane...........Foden....
Obvs...he plays 1 of those 3 in mf separated by the / symbol.
Now.. instantly lets just LOOK at that line up:
1...hes got a RB playing at LB🤦🏻♂️
2...hes a number 10 playing left side🤦🏻♂️
3...hes got a RB in mf🤦🏻♂️
4...he plays Rice as a DM🤦🏻♂️
5...he plays Bellingham out of his R Madrid position 🤦🏻♂️
If you listen to arsenal, madrid,liverpool fans they will.tell you their players don't play how southgate has them set up....and, let's not forget southgate has had FOUR FKN games to see what the whole world is telling him is wrong!!
Worse than that, he knows Palmer and Gordon( who came on for 3 minutes🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️) changed the game for England but he then IGNORED them for the next games!!!
In short....yes, Southgate is an idiot!! Obviously to PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE that England sit as a much more balanced side like this:
...............Pickford...........
Walker....Stones...Guehi...(shaw replacement..should never have come,)
..........Wharton..Rice......
..................Foden...........
Saks.........Kane.....Gordon
Madrid play Bellingham as Arsenal do for rice, ask them to play further forward and break into the box if they can...neither play as a dm in the traditional sense; southgate is misusing them and boy does it show.
The same with foden, foden BEST displays for city come in a central area breaking in, yes he has played left side but its not his best position, central.is...that's where he does his damage. Southgate has managed to get Spains(Bellingham), England's (Foden) and Germany's(kane) players of the season playing like dog sht....because his system is shocking!
So yes...southgate an idiot!!
Is Southgate an idiot??

Not taking a proper fit left back was absolutely criminal. Trippier has been garbage for 2 seasons yet somehow makes the squad
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No idea why he doesn't play Gomez at LB...yeah he is a RB BUT...Gomez has actually played at RB something like 10+ times for liverpool, so.its a good option....of course, had southgate actually done his fkn job we would have a fit LB in the squad!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Prolly cos he is awful, absolute donkey of a footballer.

Yes.
Biggest idiot in football. By a mile.
Blessed with an array of talent. That he
continually finds ways to undermine and stifle.
And yet the talent finds ways to win despite
the absolute tool of a tactical dullard's efforts.
He must have photos of people in high places
doing some pretty depraved stuff.
Only explanation how he continues in his role.

England have always had a very dishonest media. That makes it very hard for any manager to swim against their club allegiance biases to select the best players.
