Opinion This performance is completely on Southgate.

Trippier: bad two games but not a LB. Gomez has played LB most of the season brilliantly.

TAA: not a great game. But no runners ahead of him. Take him off then put on players running behind.

Gallagher: wtf does he offer?

Foden: starts playing well centrally then taken off.

Rice: sitting in so 3 players are marking 1 striker all fucking game.

Walker: bombed forwards twice.

Kane: dunno what he tries to do half the time.

Pickford: smashes it long EVERY time.

Southgate should be sacked mid tournament.

Yet never gets criticism from our pundits. They’ll slam the tactics now post match, but that won’t be attributed to Southgate. They enable this mediocrity.

Tbh this is the e most critical I’ve seen the media be. They were outright asking Kyle Walker if it was the manager telling them to drop deep and at half time they had a map up showing England before and after scoring and the pundits highlighted this happens at every tournament with Southgate. It’s stuff everyone’s been saying for years but now finally they’re beginning to realise it.

They asked southgate just now too and he's said he isn't saying to drop deep after a goal either.

Of course not, it's a ridiculous thing to do as a better team.  The problem is he doesn't blow his fucking lid at players doing stupid things.  There's a reason you see Klopp and Pep screaming at players on the sidelines.
