We now have too good a squad to entrust to Mr Nice. We need a tactical, ruthless bastard to make the next step. Unless Gareth has learnt from this.

Well it was negroni at the time. Now its sackcloth and ashes.

Sounds good to me. I went with a caramel rum.

They think it's all over.........

What a ridiculous and clearly uneducated thing to say. Full of arrogance too.
Southgate hasn’t just done what no other manager has on the pitch, he’s also changed the entire international team set up. No more cliques. Tireless hard work to ensure when they group up, it’s no longer a place where certain players take rank on the club scene. He’s created a club culture and it is obviously coming together.

But he bottled the big decisions when we were getting beaten and he didn't change it... That's criminal

So disappointed for Phil, really thought he was going to have a cracking tournament but Southgate thought otherwise. Just didn't get the best out of the talent available to him, and for that he needs to go

England team that won the world cup:

• Banks
• Cohen
• Charlton
• Moore
• Wilson
• Stiles
• Ball
• Charlton
• Peters
• Hunt
• Hurst

Not two holding midfielders, not five at the back, not the centre forward playing deep lying.

Moore was a great captain, a great defender and was good bringing the ball out of defence. Only Stiles was in the team as a midfield enforcer. Ball, Charlton, Peters, Hunt and Hurst were all intent on attacking the opposition.

Compare that with Mr. Waistcoats side, only Sterling attacking regularly. Mount and Kane playing as midfieders. The rest of the team - Pickford, Walker, Maguire, Stones, Shaw, Trippier, Phillips, Rice were all there to defend.

Given a golden opportunity to win something on home soil and the manager wimps out and is not prepared to unleash the attacking talent at his disposal. Did he realistically think getting all his team camped in their own half for the bulk of the game was going to achieve anything or actually provide any entertainment.

The best team won and deservedly so.

 

[Southbanken]

yeah but he was far too creative and trying to do things positive for saint gareth so he hauled him off.

Nonsense, he took off Rice because he was gassed. Rice was brilliant all tournament but he was running on empty with 20 minutes left.
