England v Scotland | Euro 2020 Group Stage

[Gray]

Sadly we are stuck with him for the next decade. An FA yes man who pretends to be Mr Nice Guy.

I am switching my allegiance to Bobby Mancs Italy they at least look like they are trying to win when they play.

Foden wont start the next game, he should but he won't

I was surprised he started tonight, not because of how he played on Sunday, but because southgate is a clueless prick, how he was first off I have no idea.

Nothing personal mate, I suppose I just can’t comprehend celebrating a 0-0.

Likewise mate, but seriously probably being English and (I assume) supporting England then I can't imagine a scenario where a 0-0 would be celebrated. But then we're not blessed with the same resources. We've had the best squad we've had in years but most of our top players are defensive in nature. Even Wales have had Bale, Ramsay and ROI with Robbie Keane etc, we've always missed that attacking threat.

 

[Gray]

Two defensive midfielders against Scotland, he is a shit manager.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Some real basic shite, but we get spoilt supporting City, however what’s the point of playing two defensive midfielders if you aren’t going to give your fullbacks license to get forward?

So clueless it’s untrue.

Not for the first time I’m hoping for England to fail in order to hasten the exit of a useless national team manager.

As a group we have one of the best groups of young attacking players in decades so what does Southgate do? Sets up way too conservative, no creative midfield players. why…

Its fucking Sotland… and he sets up like we’re playing peak Brazil…

and the Scots on here… that pt won’t qualify you... so why celebrate like you’ve won something? Embarrassing all round…

dont wast your time mate,i did the same since McClaren and every manager since has been a waste of time and it will go on and on,who could be the next candidate for the job be,no doubt Moyes would be at the top of the list for his mini revival down at WH,other than that Sean Dyche and thats about it,the FA always give preference to the applicant who comes ready lubed and walks into the interview with his pants around his ankles

 

[SWPISHOME]

Southgate V S Clarke. I mean it doesn't get bigger than that. What a matchup, 2 of the finest managers there is. To be fair, S Clarke did a number on Southgate.

What an era of international football we are living in!
Southgate in charge of England at a time they have some of the best young prospects they have had in years.
Roberto Martinez in charge of Belguim best squad/squads since the 80's.
Nose picker, Sweaty sniffer in charge of the Germans...

And to top it all off FRED starts for Brazil!

Got to love the internationals!

 

[LongsightM13]

You forgetting about the *actual* defensive midfielders we played? Or being obtuse ?

Either that or I have totally imagined the existence of Kalvin Phillips. Granted, he wasn’t very visible but even so

 

[ZanteWeatherman]

Mount needs to drop deep rather than staying further up. If that’s tactical, it leaves space in the midfield. There’s no one to pass to.

FFS we're at home with a better side (imo) and Mr Tactically Inept plays a back 6 (plus Goalkeeper= 7) which leaves 4 offensive players to get the goals.
Kane was totally isolated, Sterling..... don't get me started, Foden was the best of the shower and the useless big-nosed twat subbed him (watched it with a Jock who pissed himself laughing).
My view of Southgate is not a secret. He is a yes-man without a clue. England will win fuck all with him at the helm. He is safety first, home or away (Grealish was MOTM imho) and I was surprised that he brought him on so early (60th minute), instead of waiting until the 80th+.
Rice was non-existent, as was Calvin Phillips..... 2 defensive mids against Brazil, I get it... against fucking Scotland at home..............oh, and then he brought Rashford on to feed them.... the ball, because he is crap and seriously over-rated. Rant over.

This England team has Leeds WestHam Villa Everton and Spurs players in it, Scotland have players from the United Liverpool Arsenal and Chelsea.

Sorry but so does that England team and a more than 1/4 of tonights team were from the English Champions in case you hadn't noticed, while Scotland had a number of Scottish "journeymen" (ie in Scotland) in their team.
