I don’t think Southgate knows how to coach an attack. He’s very good defensively, but then can’t create patterns of play, so unless the players click into some formation that works, we always look disjointed.
Look at Spain. They had a system that their players played in. Rodri gets injured? No problem, Zubimendi knows what is expected of him as a 6. No Pedri, no problem, Olmo steps in. No formation or system change.
The only time we look somewhat competent is if we happen to retain possession after an attacking corner or free kick and have players in the attacking area with our defenders on the halfway line. The rest of the time we just sit deep unable to progress the ball up the pitch so we end up going long. Its absolutely laughable, not a single pattern of play has been implemented by this fucking clown in years. He has to go, Spain were light years ahead of us tactically and positionally.
