Yep, I’ve tried my best to give him the benefit of the doubt (second most successful England manager ever afterall) but I’m now firmly in the camp that if we could replace him between now and next Tuesday (no pun intended) I ****ing would.

And who would you bring with a squad that another manager may not have chosen ?

 

[Target man]

Forgot Cole Palmer, Carlton Palmer would look good in this team!

Honestly? I’d pick a random fan out of the crowd and let them have a go. It cannot be any worse

Losing to Iceland was a big clue ..... we over value these pathetic players.

 

[GBJ]

The subs have not changed the game at all

I beg to differ , the formation tactics and as Cricko said playing players out of their club positions that are wrong

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Is Geoff Hurst free for next game ?

 

[GBJ]

You're right. We were great then and even better now.

 

[Target man]

By far one of the worst England performances I've ever seen in a tournament.... and I've seen a few!

 

[hlane17]

We are absolute pony and that’s being generous

After the World Cup I felt pretty positive despite us going out, on another day we'd have beaten France with the way we played. After this match all that positivity has evaporated, that was dire.

If Southgate had a Lamborghini, he’d drive it at 48mph on the M25

In reverse gear

Kyle Walker "we're top of the group, let's move on".

Didn't want to accept responsibility for that display. That's the typical mentality of this team under Southgate from a top player. He wouldn't be saying that under Pep because he expects better.

I have weaned myself off watching England games other than at the tournaments after watching it again tonight think I need to take the next step.

So rarely good games to watch.

(England not you guys )

That was definitely not the display we were expecting/hoping for. After we scored it was back in the shell and we let Denmark come on to us. The subs helped a bit in the second half and I would start Conor Gallagher for the last group game as he at least gets his foot in, and that would have been Alexander-Arnold's last start if I had my way..

So, some difficult decisions for Mr Southgate, which are urgently needed if we are to go much further in this Tournament. All that said, we still top the group.

 

[southendkid]

Did think Foden played better tonight at least, although most of his good moves came when he drifted out of position into the centre, you may as well just start him there.

That midfield is not a cup winning midfield. Pickford had more touches than Alexander Arnold at the time he went off apparently. Lol, and TAA was in midfield. We have some fantastic players, but the tactics from Southgate are not suited to the attacking players in the team. And once again, sideways, sideways, sideways and back to Jack in the box Pickford, who sometimes gets the pass wrong, and the opposition nick the ball. The rare occasion we ran through the middle with the ball, we looked dangerous. It's so boring to watch, and the system they are asked to play is forcing errors from us, rather than the opposition.
