There was no gameplan in the first half. Yet again (same in two other games in this WC) the midfield three were too far apart from each other so we couldn’t get any passing going in midfield in the first half.

Second half his subs were all wrong and the tactics after their second goal were terrible.

We went a goal up in the Euros final and then barely attacked again all game and an average Italy side got back into it and ended up being the better team, we went a goal up in the Euros semi and then didn’t attack again all game and we were hanging on at the end against an average Denmark team, we went a goal up in the last WC semi final and then barely attacked again all game and Croatia ended up being the better team and won.

He has us playing like a plucky bottom of the table quality team when we go ahead, and doesn’t proactively go after games all game.

This squad is the deepest in quality we’ve arguably ever had, they deserve a better coach.

This squad is nowhere near as good as the golden generation.

Yeah, I just said in a post a few minutes ago that once Foden moved centrally for couple of minutes, it was the only real decent football that we played in terms of really giving them something to think about in terms of their positioning etc

But Southgate just won’t play him in that position, even though pep has said Phil can play a number of positions. But Southgate knows better…

it's simple, we have the best young players in world club football worth £ millions, But at international football and playing for England under Southgate they are average at best

Tuchel and Pochettino both reportedly interested. Both would offer more than Safegate.

Tuchel would be absolutely terrible I'd hate it just every bit as defensive minded as Sven, Capello, Woy, Fat Sam, and Safetygate... England have the players to play brilliant attacking football at international level, both Sven and Capello were handed players suited to an attacking style of play and chose to be ultra defensive and uninspiring.

We haven't had one manager since Keegan who attacks but he was at the wrong time to manage us, in my honest opinion even Peter Taylor (at the time post Keegan) the former under 21 manager, who brought through the golden generation while playing attacking football would've been excellent choice compared to any of these, regardless of his subsequent C.V. the players at youth level had the utmost respect for him, also they had a winning mentality while brushing aside Europe's best under his leadership.

There's a special kind of incompetence running the FA that only wants us having shit defensive minded manager's, Poch would be a breath of fresh air in an attacking sense but he's also allergic to winning things, he somehow even lost PSG the title would he be a bit too Martinez I don't know but I'd take him over any manager over the past 20 years, I'm more bothered about England playing good football something they've been incapable of doing since Hoddle was the manager coming up 25 years.
Venables had them playing great football too but every single manager has been all wrong for sucking creative freedom out, luckily for us Keegan felt like he had to quit because he took the job at a bad time during transition, feeling he underachieved but in reality England were just shit but on the verge of bleeding through a talented generation.

we could have had Foden and Bellingham controlling the game from the middle with one holding player

But they have to show for the ball and be confident to set the pace of the game. Neither Rice or Kalvin possess the confidence or technique to do it at the highest level and Henderson doesn't have enough strength or stamina.

The golden generation had Scholes, Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, Barry and Nicky Butt to choose from in Midfield.

I'd Take James over Pickford, Ashley Cole over Shaw, Terry and Campbell over the 2 centre backs and I would take Rooney and Owen over Kane and whoever else you want to pick up front.

This current squad is nowhere near as good as the one I mentioned, it's not even close.
