Gareth Southgate

[01cravend]

Deserves credit but also showed a lack of experience today.

Subeed off Sterling the only player threatening Croatia for an inferior player even when fatigued vs fresh.

Dier for Henderson, point?

Just forced us deeper and deeper and we dont have the midfield protection say France have so we cant sit back without being constantly exposed.

Completely lost control of midfield and he leaves Delph/RLC on the bench.

 

[Falcao]

He got schooled a bit which was always the worry. I hope it’s not a false dawn with him as there is so much to like.

 

[Manc in London]

Deserves credit but felt that he was shithouse for regularly hooking Sterling, rather than others, as he knew he wouldn't get stick for it.

Don’t think so, he needs better options in midfield and should seriously think of taking captaincy off Kane as it means he won’t sub him when he’s playing poorly.

Nice to see an England manager trying to play a modern style of football for once, with a better midfield we could have won that tonight.

 

[inchy14]

Fair play to Southgate here, talks sense and not making excuses. Hopefully he’ll learn as well as the players, seems a decent and humble guy.

Deary dull uninspiring as player, same style reflected on the pitch today. Football won today. Congrats to Croatia.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

The midfield let him down big style tonight

 

[nellyonthewing]

If he thought keeping Ali on the pitch was a good idea then he needs binning just on that basis..

 

[AustinBlue]

The midfield let him down big style tonight

The midfield that he chose and stuck with even when being overrun
