Managed to play dull defensive football with the best attacking team available with home advantage in every game and fairly easy opposition. Par for the course

Our impression of Southgate will make no difference to him. But the fact that the team respects , trusts and show complete faith in his decisions him says it all in reality.
He has already made the history books, but failing a good game on Sunday , he will be labelled an "almost nearly man".
There's one more throw of the dice and right now the bones are firmly in his palm.
No one in recent times of so much division has brought the country back together as Gareth Southgate.
Team has pretty much managed itself.
Performance is more to do with the fitness managers.
Might have brought Grealish on earlier.

I guess that's why when teams lose ...the fans and media blame specific players rather than the gaffer....or maybe not? Who the 'ell picked so and so....
Yeah...but I'd much rather have Schmeichel in my goal than Pickford.
Sunday...we'll see Donnarumma in goal for Italy...then the difference between an average Gk and the best will be evident.

Pickford is a top goalkeeper at International level. He doesn't look nearly as average at International level to that of club level.

If he is planning a nationality change...he won't be able to complete it by Sunday methinks....

Pickford is a top goalkeeper at International level. He doesn't look nearly as average at International level to that of club level.

No way is Pickford "a top GK at International level".
He is downright average.
In fact he is probably to weakest link in the England team.

His kicking is awful for a start, but he isn`t a bad shot stopper.
Pickford has been quality for England. He has actually had a really good 2021 for Everton too but that won’t stop lazy opinions.

He panics in tight situations.
Can't decide what to do in corner situations.
Could well lose the game for England.

Pickford has been quality for England. He has actually had a really good 2021 for Everton too but that won’t stop lazy opinions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was shocking against Denmark, his awful distribution almost cost us a goal and he gave the ball away cheaply more than once

I think Billy was watching the same game Sandy & I were watching!
Pickford was fine, he had a nervy 15 final minutes kicking - it happens. We know what you get up to in your final fifteen.

Donnarumma and Unai Simon were hardly picture perfect in the corresponding semi final either, both giving the ball away cheaply and in dangerous areas. Things like that happen.
Pickford is very good at International level, it's almost like his "reputation" hampers him rather than his quality now.
