Somewhere Trent Alexander-Arnold is sticking pins into a photo of Southgate.

Well come 2024 he’s gone ........ if he’s still there after that then we must have won the thing :) ........... I ain’t his biggest fan but it probably makes sense with Howe and Potter in there jobs ......... he ain’t nothing to lose (Southgate) just go out and go for it now he’s got nothing to lose

Lol like Southgate would “go out and go for it”

His idea of going for it is bringing Raheem Sterling straight off a plane to try and win a World Cup quarter-final and thinking Mason Mount is some playmaker wizard

Argentina might win the World Cup playing only 1 top 10 ranking sides and losing to the worst team in the competition - wonder how many of their fans are sitting and moaning on forums right now about this

The rankings thing doesn’t really mean much, but Argentina are getting the job done against teams who are near enough equal to them. That’s why they don’t need to moan.

We have a manager and team who lost a lead in the World Cup semi-final and the Euro final, even though anybody with a bit of footy knowledge could see that the tide was turning in the game and he should know how to deal with it tactically, but he just sat on his hands and watched it unfold until it was too late.

And that is the difference. Gareth’s track record against teams who are more or less around our supposed level is piss poor. That won’t change either. he was a dog shit club manager that has somehow landed a job managing England. All he has proven is he can get deep into a tournament if we get an easy enough run and then it ends.

Being a successful manager is not a fluke, that’s why pep gets paid so much money and is so successful . That’s why Mourinho won things in many countries etc etc.

If you’re a country that really wants to win things, you don’t keep employing a mediocre manager has had three cracks at a tournament and lost to the first real stiff tests. These countries that win tournaments wouldn’t do it, why are we?

That’s all it comes down to. I don’t care about rankings.

Are you suggesting that you don't think him worthy of your confidence ?
