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

[Kinkybyname]

ah yes, that old chestnut, but of course when England don't win it's solely down to him.

I'd quit while I was behind, if I were you

So the obligatory support for waistcoat from blue hammer. The jibbering fool was struggling to justify picking Henderson and how he can take this team forward with slabhead and Phillips and Henderson not playing top grade football is a mystery. Trent plays two games in midfield and is probably going to get the nod in front of Phil and Jack as the next messiah

One shudders at how shite the rejected candidates must have been - indefensible appointment.

The fa have always made safe political appointments and prioritised that over actual ability with very few exceptions - that's why Clough never got a sniff. They'd rather have a championship level manager that can play the media game.

do you know him personally ?

seems a pretty inoffensive nice guy to me. unless you know otherwise.

I give my verdict on the job he is paid handsomely to perform. He is probably a really, really nice bloke but for what he is paid to do he is a waste of space.

Southgate got the job as the FA knew he wouldn’t embarrass them further by appearing on the front pages, whether kerb crawling, shagging his mistress, accepting a bung, basically a safe bet.

Been hugely flattered by generous tournament draws. The quality of football has been dire and workmanlike for the most part, with the odd decent performance scattered amongst them.

The team should be.

Ramsdale

Walker
Tomori
Colwill

Stones
Rice

Saka
Foden
Bellingham
Grealish

Kane

Can go toe to toe that with anyone, Brazil, Argentina, France should hold no fear with the talent we have at the moment. Yet we seem to play 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders even against the dross in qualifying.

He’s a hypocrite and inconsistent in his approach suits the FA because he is PC. For a long time I couldn’t give a toss about England results, then this new exciting generation come through and I got interested again, Southgate ended that and we are stuck with him His fans defend his record, without looking at the facts which, considering the squad and draws he’s had in tournaments he’s under achieved. The match v Italy showed him up, swap him for Mancini and England would have won that game handsomely and ended 50+ years of hurt Should have been sacked but instead he got his greatest achievement and relegated the country to add to his club relegation.

Tbf you could say that for Bobby Robson in 1990 which most regard as a success. Southgate wouldn't last five minutes as a PL manager, but the England job is probably more about managing egos than tactics.

It’s paid off.

Moulded a great squad of young players, spirit , unity all throughout.

Took us to World Cup semi final, first time in 28 years.

Amazing run to the final in the Euros only to lose on penalties.

One of the highest win % of any England managers of all time

Arise Sir Southgate!

Failed to win a very winnable WC semi final
Failed to win against a poor Italy at home in euro final
Got England relegated in Nations League
Stick your honours system where sun don’t shine

Said he’s only play players in form playing for club
Explain Harry Maguire then
Today he said various players need more game time to be accessed, as only 3 games, the likes of Sterling who has started well yet Maguire has 0 Zero games Has Raheem ever let England down like Maguire?
