AlexLaw76 Posted 23 September, 2022 Share Posted 23 September, 2022 (edited) Got to laugh. Many people endorse the general squad picked, as these players "don't let England down". How is that working out? Southgate is rooted to around 8 of this starting 11, no matter what. Edited 23 September, 2022 by AlexLaw76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint NL Posted 23 September, 2022 Share Posted 23 September, 2022 The two teams I follow, Saints and England, are now replicas of each other. That's two Friday nights in a row I've watched the football and saw the same boring shite, no midfield, isolated striker, and a defence likely to make a mistake.

If anyone is still backing him now there are no words.... That world cup was wow words fail me . All the big nations were failing or failed to qualify and the draw as it went on we were sure to get to the final right?. Never going to be a better chance to win i think im my lifetime(62). As for the euros ,again exasperated still further. Since when has Sako played as or been asked to play LEFT WING BACK?. Someones going to do a touch map of where our attacking players actually averaged out that game and compare it with their club positions. Southgate shoes in 8 defensive players into the team without the thought of winning ,just dont loose . Pathetic isn't it , he (southgate )sucks the expectation of winning a tournament right out of the nation, he has have coached the creativity out of the team ,even in such a crap tournament that no one cares too much for , only to dampen the expectations of the die hard England fans yet again .Can we recover ? no idea and nor have the players or the management . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have been doing it now. 3months to take that squad into a world cup, then he can run off back to domestic football if he wants. Southgate may be shit, but the FA are just as inept. They've kept him for far too long and will now waste the next tournament. The buck for this doesn't stop at Southgate, it should stop with the dithering idiots above him. There is literally no point going to this world cup or even getting excited for it. We are more likely to go out in the group stage than reach the quarters. Absolute joke. Another generation of wasted talent and psychological negativity that was very clearly very avoidable.

SNSUN Posted 23 September, 2022 Share Posted 23 September, 2022 20 minutes ago, CB Fry said: Nice to see the old Hasenhuttl Irreplaceabilty Clause being activated for Southgate as well. Bravo SaintsWeb 👏 Exactly. "Nobody better to replace him" is such a weak excuse for not to get rid of him. This is one of the most talented bunch of England players in years and we look pathetic, defensive, lop-sided, have a lack of creative ideas and, importantly, we only made 2 subs all night despite the dross that was on show. I don't care who replaces Southgate, I'd even take a foreign manager again, but we're currently going into a World Cup in awful form with little idea and have been relegated from the Nations League, meaning our seeding will be affected and we'll play 'friendlies' against lesser nations. Granted I've never been sure about Southgate, and he has done well in tournaments for us which has surprised and delighted me (although some of that I think was due to the quality of player he has at his disposal), but he seems hell bent on trying to slot as many right backs into the team as possible, he plays Maguire who has barely had a kick for his club over Tomori etc and he plays defensively when our strength is clearly our attack. For form alone, I'd be looking to replace him. The question is, before or after the WC? Well it's too late now before the WC so let it slide for now and just hope for the best, but unless we hit another quarter-final or better, I think he's out early next year. Although knowing Southgate, we'll hit the WC and suddenly do really well and he sticks around for another couple of years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
