Italy v England | Thurs 23rd March 2023, 19:45

[WestGorton]

We absolutely needed to go to a major team and win, especially when things started going against us. Credit where it's due but same old problems keep resurfacing.

Good first half but blowing out the arse in the second half.

 

[RayCTID]

That wasn't a convincing performance. Good job it is only the qualifiers. Naive second half and no real changes from the World Cup.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Will the interviewer open with "Well done Gareth, you spawny fucker."?

 

[BlueHammer85]

Fuck me we held on!!

Yes we did

Every player gave their all

Southgate got his tactics spot on and even down to 10 they didn’t trouble us

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Great result for England. First win in Italy since 1961!
Made it more difficult than it should have been, we bossed the first half.

 

[Legal Alien]

Phillips has down well the last 10 minutes

Seeing that he's barely played, i thought he did alright and settled into the game.
He had a decent effort, that wasn't far away in the 1st half too.

 

[super_city_si]

Defended well after the sending off. Great win. But Southgate is a lucky man. Terrible game management in the second half

How unusual…..

 

[dadnlad]

Bluehammer is gonna come in here and kill all you negative cunts ha

He actually rates Southgate!

every chance west hams next manager so he'll be happy bunny

 

[willipp]

Rank second half and southgates inability to impact a game when things were going badly nearly hurt us again. Very good first half and a good win, but same old problems.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Cruising at half time against a poor Italy side and odds on to win comfortably, Southgate still manages to almost lose.

He Has to go
