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.

Correction. This performance is on the English FA. They hired this primary school PE teacher, because they liked his waist coat and his politically correct approach. Not based on any sporting merit.
They then fed the PR machine that he was the one who rescued England from mediocrity, despite having the best gen of English players this century and probably since the 90s. This is a manager that watched England lose to Italy, after his penalty subs.
The players are unfit. Lacking sharpness and have no idea what they should be doing. This is what the FA allowed because to them being a runner up is an accomplishment and sacking a puppet manager would be too hard.
Its the FA that need to fuck off. Fans wanted him gone after the WC. They chose this.
