I mean, by the performance I'd say 18 of those minutes were them spamming aimless balls to no one and dribbling into players.

was all going to be the land of milk and honey when Southgate ‘f*cked’ off , yet here we are - same old slagging of the tactics, formations, individual players to blame.
Southgate was never the problem.
It’s international football, it will always be like this.
They looked better the previous game. This game was a mixture of insane tactics, no midfield and poor individual performances.

Does such a manager exist who also has the squeaky-clean image the FA are looking for, and would they be willing to do the job.Whether it’s waistcoat or Carsley they are both FA yes men who haven’t got the balls to drop certain players whose attitude stinks or are not team players. The English team needs a manager with some bollocks who will take no messing and these egos who are undroppable need to put up or sit on the bench
We should have kept Fat Sam irrespective of what the gutter press said. He may be a dinosaur in many ways but he showed he could play decent football while at Bolton.

Correct, it's dog shit. However there are too many nations with votes for UEFA to consider streamlining it, never mind getting rid of it.International football is dog shit. Get rid.

It’s only one game.
I agree and I actually want Carsley to succeed, just nice for England to lose a match and not be tagged in by loads of posters telling me it’s all Southgate’s fault. Reality is England are very good side, with real quality youngsters, we’ll win vast majority of games and slip up sometimes, most games will be turgid, sometimes we'll play amazing - that’s the nature of football and especially international football, i've never known anything different.

Yay sack a manager who gets us to finals and replace work someone who is more newsworthy. I think the media got what they wanted.

The time to try that formation (and credit for trying) is in the last 30 mins when you're 3 nil up. It did look like the team was picked following advice from the back pages. The press got the team they wanted. Can they just admit they know FA?

I would be very, very happy to consign our international football to the World Cup and the European Championship only. These games are, ultimately, meaningless.
They replaced even more meaningless, friendlies. In order for International football to be viable football associations and federations need revenues stream from regular games.
And managers need the games to be able to experiment in less risky situations, otherwise they'll managerial turnover will mirror the football league championship.
