That outfit is ghastly

What outfit????

Southgate made England competitive but this team deserves a manager with a more adventurous approach, his tenure will be marked by under usage of Grealish. French must have been pleasantly surprised when saka was taken off, it was an extremely dumb move to put it politely

His continued insistence on playing two ball winning midfielders at the expense of ball playing midfielders is why he/we will NEVER win a tournament or beat a top side. We give up way too much

In big games when it matters you don’t kick a ball into space

You mean the English media that is full of chinless middle class posh woke self loathing liberals.

He's just trying to sell some poorly refined snake oil

Thought England were the better team overall, but took too long to build up.
I’d like to think that we would complain about the officiating, it was appalling.
But if you don’t even put it on target from the spot, it’s probably just aswell we weren’t given the other 2 penalties.

I thought the game was pretty even but agree with everything else you said. Neither side looked impressive to me.

At least Trent can go back to dipperland with plenty of splinters in his arse

Potter has made it pretty clear he wants to be a club manager not England manager.

Who do you like in the Championship?

No one in the Championship is good enough to manage england, that was prob a throw away remark .

Fair play to saka. He played well tonight. Very forward thinking.
Rice needs some courage to receive the ball in tight positions. Shaw did ok.
Walker was immense as showed he is more than just a speedster.
Kane . Feel for him as her had the minerals to take the pens but isn’t a world class forward.

Pickford is a complete sausage. Should have done better with that first goal. Needs to be a yard further if his line at least. Very poor keeping. No real spring there either.

Henderson doesn’t have the brains to play top class midfield. Knocked his pipe out chasing lloris down when should be left to the front three or just left to have the ball.

There’s no one to blame really tonight pal. We played well and should have won it. It’s a mentality thing, we just aren’t winners. We have the talent and southgate set them up to win, but we didn’t.

It’s too easy to blame Southgate for these defeats every time we play someone half decent


Cos he is fucking wank
