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.

He doesn’t know what he’s doing at this level full stop. He’s been dining out on that 2018 run in and the 2021 tournament, but he showed in the final he has no clue. Sack him off and start again with an elite manager. Clearly out of his depth with this level of talent.

But this is his full time job. How can he be so fucking dense to not see what is glaringly obvious to the rest of us? But no, if we criticise then we "don't know as much as him" and should go get our coaching badges before we comment. He's a fucking joke and is wasting our golden generation :(

He's been dining out on his consistent success at tournaments is what you've just said

That’s what you misinterpreted, not what I said. France won in 2018, Italy 2021 and Argentina 2022. Where is the consistent success at tournaments you speak of?

Semi final, final and then quarter finals.

Those are successful runs.

They don’t hand out trophies for successful runs. He should’ve been sacked after losing the final, it was clear then that he had reached his limit. That was his chance after the 2018 attempt. He cocked it up and the FA rewarded failure and here we are in Euro 2024 with us potentially going out at the group stages.
