Sorry but you’re missing the point here, my dining room table could have achieved more with this amazing crop of talent … He has no fucking idea whatsoever, tactically inept at best and his style of football is making England a Boro instead of a City …!!!If the best results in 50 years is 'okay(ish)' you are clearly a tough person to satisfy!
If England managed to win the Euros or World Cup (even if by a fluke) then there won't be many people saying that the victory doesn't mean anything to them because they didn't like the style of football.
So, to be clear, the bar for calling Southgate as success is not only to win a major tournament but he must also do it whilst playing attractive football? Anything else is failure. Glad I don't have the job.
Pickford ?? He flaps more than a hummingbird’s minge..!.......PickFord....
Walker.Stones.Maguire.Shaw
...........Rice.....
...Foden....Bellingham
Saka....Kane...Grealish
Probably our best 11 right now.
Best of an average bunch.....the other 10 float your boat?Pickford ?? He flaps more than a hummingbird’s minge..!
Yeah in fairness I think you’ve picked a decent team there, despite my ingrained bias against all things Rag :-)Best of an average bunch.....the other 10 float your boat?
Again,I don't think anyone partners Stones better than Maguire and Shaw seems to have nailed the left back slot.Yeah in fairness I think you’ve picked a decent team there, despite my ingrained bias against all things Rag :-)
Totally agree .. If you replace T-Rex Pickford :-)Again,I don't think anyone partners Stones better than Maguire and Shaw seems to have nailed the left back slot.
I think that team is capable of beating anyone,just a shame the manager isn't.
I dont rate Pope.Totally agree .. If you replace T-Rex Pickford :-)
Henderson for me, really good keeper, though I’d have Pope before Pickford .. Or Joe Corrigan preferably :-)I dont rate Pope.
Henderson?
If Walker signs for Bayern I’d stick Rico in as right back........PickFord....

Agree but it's 4 dms and Liverpool players short of a Southgate pick.......PickFord....

Perhaps this is exactly why I dont follow England. Maguire in England's best 11, bloody hell he cant even get into a shit utd team.
Pickford might make the odd good save but players for a club fighting relegation.
Yep,hence the thread title.Agree but it's 4 dms and Liverpool players short of a Southgate pick
No, other managers achieved the same or better with far less resources, Mancini for example won with a poor aging squad at the home ground of his opponents. Southgate failed alarmingly and is ruining the best generation of players that England have had for sometime. Whenever his team have faced opponents with a good manager they have lost it as clear as daylight that he isn't good enoughGot is to them where EVERY other manager has failed.
PotterWell start suggesting who to replace him before calling for his head.
yeah thats all very subbjective, soame as me talking about Southgate or saying he has Maguire, Shaw etc.. They're not world clas... yada yada. The facts speak though.No, other managers achieved the same or better with far less resources, Mancini for example won with a poor aging squad at the home ground of his opponents.

He should be moved to general manager type role, that he currently done very well a likable guy who ticks all the FA boxes unfortunately he's not good enough when it comes to the football. This is where a coach could step in for the international breaks away from their club role to handle the football side radical maybe but its how it use to work there wasnt a full time England manager
A team full of the quality of players in the squad would beat most of the teams that England beat The issue is when England face opponents of similar quality who have a manager who can coach and set them up tactically we are lacking because Southgate is found wanting At the top level the manger is vital as it becomes a game on the pitch and the technical areaLast game we won 7-0. Was you screaming and crying at our defensive playing for this one ? Or is it not every game ? Just likely when we player tougher opposition and you expect us to play all out attack and win 5-0.
Partnership in the same context that we shared the last 3 titles with the dippersProbably the best of a bad bunch though......and in fairness to him,he hasn't performed badly at International level,his partnership with Stones is a very good one.
