I think he’s done a brilliant job and taken us further then most could. Before he took over we were terrible and he’s got us to the later stages in each tournament.

Time to move on though. Not sure who should replace him though
 
I agree. Thought we played alright tonight. The overreaction to Southgate is ridiculous at times
Mate, we played triangles in our own half for the best part of 90 mins. When we decided to get on the front foot occasionally we looked like we could cause a bit of damage but those were few and far between. We had more possession but we weren’t better.
 
So keep him? Haha! Expectations are very low these days.
What are the alternatives though. I’m all up for improvement but who is there.

People go on about this being the best squad we’ve ever had and all this talent at his disposal but for me apart from stones we have no decent centre backs. Connor coady and Ben white.

Pickford is average. Ramsdale is ok as is pope but not world class.

Kane. Than who else. Calvert-lewin and Callum Wilson. Distinctly average.

Rice is decent but I’ve changed my perception a bit. Hid too much and lacked the minerals to take the ball and dictate play. Henderson is Henderson.

Phillips is obviously very good but has been injured most of the season.

Walker is immense. Trippier is decent but limited. Alexander Arnold. Well enough said.

Grealish/Maddison very good players but we’re kept back.

Mason Mount is not good enough. Sterling has dropped off a cliff.

Bellingham is obviously a talent but not the saviour of English football people are clambering to see.

Foden is the only genuine world class footballer in that squad.

Nice one. Keep Southgate
 
A fucking traffic cone. Jesus Christ, there’s a quality team in that squad. Safety gets you to QFs, bollocks wins you world cups.
For once I thought he finally had some bollocks and played to our potential. Shame the players didn’t take it.

Look I’m not a great lover of Southgate. Far from it. I just think it’s a bit knee jerk to say Southgate out 4 minutes after England have lost a quarter final against arguably the best team in the tournament.

If there is a better alternative then that’s great and should be explored but I don’t know who that is.
 
I thought we out played France tonight for large parts of the game, they made very little chances but took the ones they had that's just football.
But we didn’t outplay them? They err happy to let us keep the ball in our own half and go sideways and backwards. First 15 minutes of second half we looked liked we’d finally woken up and did look decent but then went back into our shells. That game was winnable but have no courage or bravery to pick a forward pass will eventually catch up.
