It's amusing seeing all the women and some men who never follow football.normally all saying what a nice man Southgate is and we did the country proud.

We got to a final yes but totally cocked up our tactics and choice of penalty takers, all down to Southgate who chose them based on training apparently. It was the biggest chance we've had in 55 years to win a trophy and once again we bottled it, no matter how many people say it was a valiant failure. That's exactly what it was once more, a failure.

No plan B just defend in depth and hope we score from a set piece or a bit of luck. I'll give Pickford his due he pulled off some great saves in the tournament but unless he can sort out his distribution we will always be up against it against better sides as the ball just comes straight back.

No idea where we go from here. Stick with Southgate? Who knows.
Pickford played well tonight, much better than the Denmark game where he lost the plot a bit with wayward clearances.

I think we’re stuck with Southgate. He’s a great man manager but a piss poor in-game tactician. Can’t fault his pre match planning but Mancini recognised it and adjusted and we had no response.
 
at least we got italy to take the knee, before letting them take their knee to our bollocks
 
Mancini in charge of the players we have at our disposal would be awesome. Can't wait for Qatar. 6/7 defensive players woop woop.
 
The lack of serious game time for foden and grealish should mean a trip to the job centre but we are stuck with him. There can't be many countries who have the best league, a squad of highly rated and paid players that see their national team as underdogs and have such little expectation.

If the man had any decency and was honest about his limitations he should resign tomorrow. Unfortunately the fact we got to even a semi never mind a final makes him very secure.

His pundit mates can't speak highly enoughew about him. A poor man's Roberto di Matteo (
What would you consider “serious “ game time for Foden tonight?
