They are in the fucking final so doubt anybody in Argentina is moaning.
Jesus, listen to yourself.

Oh are they ?! Didn’t no that

We was in a final couple years ago, the moan brigade was well out in force that day.

‘We only got here because of an easy run’ etc
 
I see him as being a bit like Roberto Martinez. Nice chap but a bit lacking when it comes to being a top level manager and I suspect he will end up wasting a very good crop of players.

It's not just about winning trophies for me though. A good manager should be able to get the team to perform to a level above the sum of its parts and I just don't see that with him. The Moroccan and Croatian managers may never win a trophy but I can't help but feel they are overachieving with their teams. I think the opposite is the case with Southgate.

England at present seem to be stuck in a cycle of being able to beat weaker teams but then failing when they come up against teams of a similar level to themselves.

Anyway, we'll see over the course of the next couple of years. Maybe something will click.

Can't say fairer than that. Like I said, it would have been a travesty if this clown would have conned is over the line. Good luck Julian for today.

This one sums it up the best.

Even if Southgate won the World Cup there'd still be people complaining he didn't do in the right manner or other such reasons.

The impossible job.
 
I keep hearing he’s the best since 66 but I put him behind Venables & Hoddle in recent times who only lost the job for non-footballing matters.

Exactly. As soon as we come up against the likes of Hungary or the US we fall short…

One of the main reasons we did get there was because of an easy run because every time he’s come up against a half decent team he’s lost.

We were even a better side than who we faced in the final yet our tactics were utterly pathetic after going 1-0 up and we spunked that final due to him and his lack of ambition to win.
 
This fraud gets paid to watch the best English players playing in the best league in the world. When I used to coach basketball I used to watch all the pro games I could to get tips and tricks to teach my teams, it is how you improve as a coach. I don't see waistcoat doing any of that. I don't see any of the ways we play in the PL getting onto the field when England play. All we see is a team of some of the best players in the world being wasted.

We have such talented players being wasted on a talentless manager.
