What the fuck has happened to England (2 Viewers)

[David O'Day]

I’d always assumed Slippy or Lampard would take the role after a few years.

Are they good managers? I suppose Slippy may win something if every other team appointed Neil Francis Lennon as manager

Two tournaments in a row is luck?

watch the games abck and tell me we played well in any of the games, only game we played well in was the italy game but the lack of ideas from big nose cost us

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

This is just like being on a City match thread.

You mean O'Hare missed a sitter?

 

[David O'Day]

We are good enough. It's just the wrong tactics

With this XI they'd be better moving james or walker to a 3rd cb and saka to LWB

Well they’ll have gained better club experience than Southgate that’s for sure. Slippy will have his eyes on the Liverpool job of course but Lampard has already been binned off from his dream job

 

[FulltimeWum]

Andy Thorn would out think this lot.

Talking of big nose - the Hungary No 5 would give Pinnochio a run for his money.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Are we led to believe this garbage Hungary team who we dicked on in front of a full racist house have suddenly become unbreakable?

 

[Hertsccfc]

Two tournaments in a row is luck?

By far the best manager we have had in decades

 

[FulltimeWum]

Finalist at European Championships

I double dare you to watch any of the matches back again.

 

[NorthernWisdom]

I double dare you to watch any of the matches back again.

That your way of saying I was right?

 

[Otis]

I double dare you to watch any of the matches back again.

We were brilliant against Germany weren't we?

 

[FulltimeWum]

No, I think anyone that praises Southgate or England after that tournament or the previous world cup needs to take their tinted glasses off.

So much talent wasted.

Italy seized games, Croatia the tournament before killed games with gamesmanship.

England kick the balls to corners for Sterling to chase and then wait for imaginary knock downs to Kane.

Insipid.

Andy Thorne or Southgate?

 

[BodicoteSkyBlue]

That Gallagher needs a hair cut, I keep thinking it’s Robbie Savage running about!

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Anyway, I didn't want Southgate when he was appointed - his record with Middlesbrough was terrible. But, ultimately, he's outperformed just about every England manager before him. That, much like Robins with City, gives him a certain leeway in suggesting he does know what he's doing. Would I set up as he does? Nope. But then playing like Keegan had us playing didn't really work.

 

[fernandopartridge]

The players couldn't give a fuck and to be fair I don't really blame them, long season next season with that silly world cup in the middle of it yet they've had their holiday cut to play in this pointless competition.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

And there are the predicted boos.

 

[Otis]

That is part of it I'm sure.

Achieved nothing. Collapsed under pressure every time.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That your way of saying I was right?

Well. Like Venables he had home advantage for all the games, except for one. But yes went one further.

The performance against Scotland was next level poor

 

[Otis]

Achieved nothing. Collapsed under pressure every time.

Sounds like Spain before they finally started winning stuff.

It's a fine line and we do have the quality.

Well then they should tell everyone that so nobody pays for a ticket

 

[fernandopartridge]

Well then they should tell everyone that so nobody pays for a ticket

Southgate should have picked a totally second string squad with players given a chance to state their case, instead he's gone with the same old same old

 

[David O'Day]

Well they’ll have gained better club experience than Southgate that’s for sure. Slippy will have his eyes on the Liverpool job of course but Lampard has already been binned off from his dream job

But they like Southgate haven't shown anything to say they are international class mamagers

 

[Otis]

Anyway, Gallagher has been poor, as have Walker and Bowen. Bowen is getting into good positions, but is either than dispossessed, or puts in a poor cross.

Bellingham has been decent, as have James and Saka.

Kane looks sluggish again unfortunately

 

[Hertsccfc]

Andy Thorne or Southgate?

Jackett

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Sounds like Spain before they finally started winning stuff.

It's a fine line and we do have the quality.

Not at the back we don’t, and he sets us up to nick a 1-0 against everyone. We aren’t Italy of the 80s and 90s

 

[Otis]

Southgate should have picked a totally second string squad with players given a chance to state their case, instead he's gone with the same old same old

Isn't it 9 changes? And Bellingham, Gallagher, Ramsdale and Guehi aren't same old same old are they?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

But they like Southgate haven't shown anything to say they are international class mamagers

They’ve done more than he did at Middlesbrough

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Well. Like Venables he had home advantage for all the games, except for one. But yes went one further.

The performance against Scotland was next level poor

So, semi finals at the World Cup? Home advantage there?

 

[FulltimeWum]

Sounds like Spain before they finally started winning stuff.

Behave. There's a difference between possession football in the opposition's half and threatening areas and playing a back 6 and knocking it about for an hour.

 

[Otis]

Not at the back we don’t, and he sets us up to nick a 1-0 against everyone. We aren’t Italy of the 80s and 90s

I agree on the centre backs. Shaw and James are both good enough

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

So, semi finals at the World Cup? Home advantage there?

Bobby Robson matched that and Alf Ramsay bettered it.

Showed lots of promise, collapsed under pressure.

Very similar.
