Whatever you may think about Southgate’s tactics I have to say he does speak extremely well.
Not sure if this has already been posted but definitely worth a read:

A better essay writer than he is a manager
Bit harsh, especially at international level. World Cup semi, nations cup final (for what it’s worth) and appears to have got players enjoying playing for England again. So, better than most England recent managers !
Soon find out tho I guess. Reckon it could be his last England tournament either way

I’m convinced that nobody could do a satisfactory job with England given the presssure from the fans and the press. Hopefully him being a decent bloke means he’s just getting them in the right mind frame to go out and play some quality tournament football.

I’d be surprised if he goes before the World Cup considering there’s only a year between the two.

Quite. Fans demanding swashbuckling football - you only have to look at the fans’ pick of the starting XI on Sunday to see how ridiculous our expectations are and how lacking we are when it comes to knowledge of the tactical side of the game.

You'll struggle to find many teams that have won international tournaments by playing pretty football throughout. International football is always more conservative and cautious, especially when so much if on the line.

Forgot about it only being a year away !! (lost the Covid year !). Would make sense for him to give it a go but all depends how we do I guess

I remember when Greece won the Euro’s, they were very defensive, I think they won the majority of their matches 1-0.

Booked in at a massive pub garden for Sunday. Only thing left to work out is if I want the 96 or 98 shirt.

The great Spain team that won the World Cup in 2010 scored 8 goals in 7 games and won all their knock-out games 1-0. Even the France side that won the last World Cup were being criticised back home for playing boring stuff. It's just what works at these tournaments.

What others have said is right. Teams that play defensive football tend to do well in tournaments. It would be interesting to see what happens if we went all out attack though. I doubt many sides would be able to handle it.

Defensive this defensive that it’s why international football is fairly drab.

And this is why we wont go as far as people think. International tournaments do tend to be pretty defensive.
So naturally you need a strong defence
Im not sure what we have can be described as strong.
We will probably score 3 or 4 a game.
Thing is we'll probably concede 2 or 3 also

Will be a Walker, Stones and Mings back three I think. When you watch Mings play, it reinforces how much better Maguire is. Need him fit.

Granted but you can only beat what you’re drawn against. England have failed many times in the past against lesser countries.
Iceland didn’t go according to plan or the 2014 World Cup. 2010 we finished 2nd to the USA in the group
