Grealish's biggest contribution since coming on is getting booked for yelling at the ref.

Don’t think there’s a Premier League team out there who’d appoint Southgate. So why he’s in charge of England after this year is beyond me.

Who would you appoint? Prior to him joining Chelsea I'd have had Potter. Obviously won't happen now.

Eddie Howe maybe the one I'd go for.

We’ve not a great record in Italy, we do like a draw with them though. That’s my call but obviously hope they prove me wrong.
Just done both teams 2+ cards@ 11/8
and also draw and under 2.5 goals@ 13/5.
Unlucky.

I ended up having a nibble on Italy/draw no bet at 5/4 so least got some additional betting tokens to back the Krauts with on Monday. 😆

Should have held my nerve and backed them right out. They were 10/3 to win just before they scored. 😫

Then he should do the honourable thing and walk. He can still leave with a vague amount of self respect.
Too late unfortunately. We are not now going to change the manager with just one game before the World Cup.

Should have sacked him a while back. I think he has been so lucky with the players he has had at his disposal and that saved him. His tactics seem baffling at times though.

I was watching England last year and we were full of very speedy players and looked a real threat. Now all of a sudden we look pedestrian. 🤷

Declan Rice thinks there was a lot of good in the performance. Of course he does, under this manager he’ll start every game

He should think carefully about how he wants to go. Now, or after humiliating the nation in a new tournament.

Poor team selection (players either out of form, not picked at club level or past it at international level), no plan to do anything other than try and stifle game (even after going 1 down we did little to try and get back into the game) and little passion.
I think the players will lead a revolt against Southgate as he has lost their buy-in to his negative approach.

Just you wait. Tomorrow he’ll put another flag in his Twitter bio and all will be forgiven.

I backed him for a long time but clearly things are not in a good place.

That’s the truth. Even though in the past England rather negative the players had a good spirit and managed to get results and good tournament finishes. Now there is no spirit or desire to give good performances or grind out the results

I think the only way Southgate now goes is if he quits himself. They re not going to sack him are they.
