England wasting one of the most talented squads ever assembled on Southgate

[hammocity]

Sterling in fine form at the start of the season, but is omitted. Whereas Maguire and Phillips, who aren't getting a sniff of first team action are included. As is Henderson, whose best days are behind him. Laughable.

I wish he’d leave our players out and give them a rest, second tier England would win these games but I’m not bothered about the National Team, I can’t envisage you’ll be cheering

I'm not, but not for the reason that you may be thinking. I was born in, and spent my first 20 years in Manchester. I have no hatred for the England team; I'm pretty indifferent to them, to be honest. Though, to somewhat contradict myself, I'd love to see them win a Euros or a World Cup. But when it comes to choosing between England and Pep's mercenaries; to quote the Kurgan in Highlander, there can be only one.

I have the same indifference.

Gareth Southgate would get City relegated.

City would be a stretch but he got a very decent middlesbrough side made them progressively worse and took them down.

The two seasons before he took over they qualified for Europe, reaching the Uefa Cup final and had some good players.

Southgate took over, eventually got them relegated and they never recovered.

This is managerial CV there, in terms of a club career.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Sterling out? The lad has just rediscovered the form that saw him look like a superstar in our side?

Philips,Maguire and other puddings get a place?

How this no mark stays employed is a fucking mystery.

Rediscovered form is an exaggeration, it's 3 games into the season and he's had 2 Good games but yeah the point is valid.

How can he not be picked and players who don't kick a ball seem to be immune from being left out

 

[Crooked_rain]

Is he not the most successful outside of Sir Alf Ramsey.

Yet he's never won anything

He's benefited from a very talented group of players and nice routes through competitions

There isn't a club that would have players like Kane, Foden, Bellingham etc in their team but hire a manager that has proven they couldn't cut it even they got chance to manage a club before.

There's a reason successful clubs hire proven managers to get the best out of talented players, it's necessary.

England will not win a tournament until they get a manager in the same ballpark as the players, in terms of their respective abilities.

 

[meeesh]

So we have a manager who’s never won anything anywhere in his managerial career.

Yup,joins a bit of a list

 

[Goater=Legend]

I agree but who would you have instead?

Ward prowse
Rico Henry
Jarrod Bowen
Solly March

He cost us the Euros final against Italy. They were there for the taking but Gareth was too negative with his game management and made subs too late.

 

[RadcliffeRick]

Gareth Southgate would get City relegated.

He is so bad he would get the SCUM relegated!

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I cant wait for the dross manager we end up with next.. Seen it all before, campaigns to get rid of a "boring manager" etc.. And we end up with Steve McLaren or Graham Taylor. Failure is the only way forward for the moaners. Its their fuel.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Now picking players that can't even get a game for their own team.

Of course England have very talented players but there are gaps.

Pickford is not World Class. Good Keeper but not in the same class as some previous Keepers

Harry MaGuire gets a lot of stick at club level and a real whipping boy for United supporters.

Luke Shaw wouldn’t get a game for Scotland

How old is Henderson ?

Right back very strong

Stones , Foden, Bellingham, Grealish , Saka and Kane are the standouts.

Does England have real quality in depth upfront? There’s a big drop down from Kane to whoever is next in line.

England have done far worse in competitions with far more talented groups

That all said I agree that England should have won Euros.

 

[Bluemanc100]

Now picking players that can't even get a game for their own team.

I’ve said all along that we’ll win nothing under this clown

His latest interviews and the team selection prove that he’s unfit for the job

 

[GH64]

With a 26 man squad they aren't all going to play, so he's picked a few specialists to cover that role.

 

[freshie]

Exactly. How can he be described as successful? We’ve only ever had one successful England manager

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

Imo England have done well despite being under his tenure, not because of it. Waistcoat wanker waster.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Just playing Rice and Mount says it all about Southgate. The guy is clueless.

 

[jimharri]

Surprised our chief flag waver hasn't been on to defend Gareth this evening?

 

[bluemoon32]

5 million pounds a year for a part time job, Southgate cant believe his luck

 

[Bluearmy]

Now picking players that can't even get a game for their own team.

Been doing that for ages already
