Clowngate is a crap manager I must confess
International football is such a bore bar a few decent games at the end of tournies. Club football is just so much better in terms of quality/players.
FIFA is oblivious to the fact they need to streamline international football to ensure it stays popular, instead they think federations making more $ from pointless friendlies is the answer. I can't even remember the name of that new stupid comp, which says it all.
Said ageeeessss ago...southgate is too defensive to be England manager. Philips and rice in a final? ? When u have hendo sitting on the bench...a prem and CL winning cpt, but nah
Then...oh lets ignore TAA one of the best if not the best LB in Europe...yeah cant find room for a player of his quality<dph>
Southgate good at managing the personalities but not at managing the games IMO
Decent interplay and Philips has brought a spark since he came on but omg we are clueless in the final third. Unlike our top Prem clubs, we’re devoid of flair, which makes you realise it’s foreign players who provide us with that element.
So glad Italy won the euros. Deluded entitled England fans and media say "oh well, we'll just win the world cup in Qatar won't we?"
..
Who said that?
Safegate is wasting the potential of these players, joke appointment
I tuned in for 20 minutes and then switched it off when Slabhead hoofed it out in the attacking third. I'm being serious when I say I went back to doing some work; it was preferable to watching England.
Zero creativity and zero goals from open play in 3 games. Most of the players looked jaded and I lost track of the number of sideways and backwards passes. If any of those players think that they deserve a place at the World Cup based on that performance they are kidding themselves. Nowhere near the quality needed. Needed the pace of Walker and Foden, Mount seems stifled by the system and Saka instead of Sterling would seem to be no brainers.
People initially got carried away with the fact we got far in a tournament for once that they ignored the fact we could have got further but for a lack of better tactics, and it's been that way since. At least now most are seeing it. Southgate is not a winner and so we aren't going to win anything with him.
nah
didn’t even know England playing
couldn’t care less with the current crop

Southgate concentrates on defence, and given that TAA isn't good at that he won't get picked.
I don't think I've watch England since the Euro final.
We knew England had to produce technically better players, which they now have. But they don't have a modern manager.
Safegate is 'Safety first.' Problem is, he's safety second, third, fourth, and fifth, etc. too.
He doesn't have any other gameplan.

Not to mention TAA isn’t a left back so I’m suprised him being labelled one of the best
As right backs go there is no more creative however a balance is needed and walker is a better all round player …no idea who played tonight mind…
Agree ref rice and Phillips it’s too defensive but wouldn’t want Henderson in there either….I want someone who makes things happen in centre midfield not just another ball recycler …..Henderson is good at what he does but it’s the same as Phillips or rice

1 x DM is enough, Phillips and Rice together is crazy. I get the case for having someone in front of the back four, especially if Maguire is one of them, but you would only need a second if you were playing someone who cannot defend, like TAA. But just pick a RB who can defend, have 1 DM and then play some creative players in front of that.

Completely agree….I’d have mount rice and grealish with Saka and sterling on either side of Kane
He needs to show some ambition
I’m not a big Southgate fan but he has done well in tournaments however he has had long enough to try out some more attacking formations especially as our best players are attacking
He bores me

He has to pick Foden if he is fit, he has more creativity in a single toe than the entire team that was out there tonight, awful display. Phillips and Rice in the squad is fine, gives cover for the DM role, but never ever ever pick them together.
