So he tried Trent, didn’t work, tried him again, didn’t work. Wonder what his plan is next game

3rd time lucky??

I've not seen one negative comment about the refereeing of the England game, and this silence speaks volumes. I liked the way he let the game flow, didn't fall for players attempting to earn fouls. Good game from him. Credit also to the players of both teams for a relatively clean game.

 

[BringBackSwales]

The fluidity and pattern of Spain compared to England. Making runs together as a team, pressing together as a team. Southgate has had 8 years to develop this, AND COMPLETELY AND DISGRACEFULLY FAILED

 

[Skip Donoghue]

He’s a defensive midfielder in an England shirt, if like you say he’s not good or intelligent enough to play there he shouldn’t be in the team.

Correct, but not for Arsenal there's always someone in there with him
he did well when Kalvin Phillips was in there to hold his hand for England
He hasn't had that luxury with TAA and it shows
He ain't good enough to dictate a games tempo or control it,
Hes athletic gets round the pitch well, but at the highest level you need more and hes getting found out
If Southgate had the bollocks to play Adam Wharton you would see the difference, but he wont

It’s actually worse than anything Mike Basset said

Get me a flaming sambuca

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

I’ve watched some dreadful games in my time but that was definitely up or shall we say down there with the worst, They were clueless which is unbelievable when you look at the quality of our players, you would think they’d be able to muster something up and play half as a team it’s not like they’ve never played with each other before is it!?

I take it @BlueHammer85 is giving this thread a swerve tonight

 

[Blue Mist]

If Pickford is the best keeper England can produce we are in deep shit.

 

[Gordyola]

Ferdinand said it was a below par performance
Was it fuck it was exactly par
Southgate sits then watching his mates iPad, must be Netflix because it can’t be anything to do with football
It’s a PL squad with some very good players managed by a, was going to say league one manager but that would be an insult to all L1 managers Let just say hes ducking clueless

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

If he takes Alexander-Arnold off, he could move Bellingham back and bring Palmer in on the left with Foden central. Gordon isn’t the answer to anything, certainly not as a starter.

That’s what I would do but as to what Southgate will do, it’s completely impossible to predict.

Watkins and Palmer must both be crying that they are watching this fucker choose the team
