Rio has been calling for Saka to be tried at LB.

Not my fault his poor decision have left his squad and tactics lopsided.

He'd been in charge for nearly 9 years and he still talking about improvement.
Rio “never coached in his life” Ferdinand? That Rio? :emoticon-0140-rofl:
All the best teams seek improvement. You can’t (or shouldn’t ) criticise a coach for that. But again, it’s all about the anti Southgate narrative

Looking like some changes in the England side for the 3rd game. Gallagher in CM likely, no Trent. Gordon down the left for more width. More crosses into box needed.
Would rather Wharton but Gallagher is fine. As long as it isn't Jude dropping deeper I don't mind, he would be absolutely wasted there.

For me it either had to be Gordon in on the left wing or a change at left back.

8 years in the job and he hasn't nailed down his best 11 and formation going into probably his last chance at winning the tournament.

Can you honestly say he's succeeded with the squad he has + some of the draws he had at the WC and Euros? His tactics and lack of decision making cost him a Euro home win.
 
Boring, bland and bottle the big games. Should have been peddled after we lost the WC final against an Italy side there for the taking. He's had 2 tournaments too many.

It was the Euros we lost to Italy.

First world cup he got beat twice off Belgium and Croatia in the Semis.

Kane missed the penalty in the other WC resulting on us going out to France.

There comes a point when you have to ask, 'After all these years, are things getting better or worse' ...

... whether it's the current England manager or the current government the answer seems obvious.

The alternative may be no better but there's only one way to find out.
 
Before the next England game let’s sack Southgate and replace him with Brendon McCallum. To replace the current negative football style we can replace it with footballs ‘Bazball’ style. One at the back, one in midfield and eight up front. Sure would be very interesting to watch :-)

If Southgate had a Ferrari he would drive it at 15mph down the m1 in the middle lane with the hazards on

At least we would have a plan and know what we were trying to do. Might not always work for the Cricket but they are clear on the way they play
