If there is no improvement then Southgate is a moron. The commentators went to town on him. And the players. Quite rightly so. This isn’t a case of the players are not good enough. This is simply a case of the manager is out of his depth. This nice happy let’s all give each other a cuddle attitude doesn’t work when you want to win things.
If he takes off Mainoo for Gallagher I’m done. Southgate is going to be the most hated man in England soon.
We need Gordon on the pitch NOW. Desperate for that determination and fire he'll give. Palmer too, we need someone who is going to start to take the piss out of these guys and stop being scared of losing.
Kane off. Watkins on. More movement up front. Saka off. Palmer on. A living body on the right who is actually likely to run at the full back and keep it wide. Foden off. Gordon on. Same as last one.
Basically this. And if it doesn’t work then it’s nothing lost nothing gained. But he won’t. This half time is Southgate’s biggest ever.
Why would Southgate think that 1 change would make any difference to this team it's been the same ****e for the past 5 games
It's unlikely Sloavakia will hold on... England would win easily if this idiot manager took the handbrake off. I really hope Slovakia can pull this off though.
