Southy

You forgot to mention our double defeat at the hands of football giants hungary not so long ago.

To be fair the second have was decent against wales but they are dreadful.

We could have had no complaints had usa beat us they were a far better team.
Just about every team will have had a below par performance in the 3. Only ever interested in how England perform in qualifiers and major tournaments and Southgate has done better than any England manager in 56 years.
 


'Southgatesy', surely?

I thought the rules were the surname with 'sy' appended? If we're not sticking to the rules, then what's the point? There'd be no purpose in life, we may as well all be dead.
 
Imagine Mbappe against a Tunisian defence working with Griezman etc :lol: . You know it doesn't work like that. France got beat, Now it's them having the brake on, and imagine them let off the throttle :lol: England do it, and it's defensive, others do it , and it's them putting the handbrake on :lol: If you think England and Southgate were trying full throttle v Wales and USA then you're crackers man.

That's France, Argentina, Belgium, Germany beat in the group stage against lesser opposition. Southgate and England haven't had to deal with that.

Good post. It’s a bizarre situation really. Loads of our fans judge us/Southgate against way higher standards than they would judge Brazil, France etc. if we are very good it’s despite Southgate or the opposition were shit and if we are anything less than very good than means we are utterly shit. In any game we aren’t comfortably winning we are obviously playing shit. He should always have played the players on the bench of course because they are always class ahead of the player selected who is shit. You wouldn’t think the last tournament we were the second best team in Europe and the time before the fourth best in the world despite a shit manager with shit tactics who keeps selecting shit players ahead of really good ones 🤷‍♂️

Barmy innit :lol:

I get that i have defended Southgate in the past but despite getting to a final and a semi final I honestly don’t remember enjoying a single performance from England since he was manager
 
Current top scorers at the world cup.
Current joint best goal difference.
Rashford current joint top for the golden boot.
Never behind in a game.
Never conceded the lead.
2 clean sheets.
Walked the group.
Most players have had a run out.
The squad is happy.

Sack him. Sack him now.
All still true, apart from now joint top scorers, and now out in front of the goal difference stat.

Disgraceful. Sack him.

:lol:
8 mins from World Cup final in 2018. Spot kick from victory in 2020. We’ve never had it so good.

Southy has got them ready :cool:

Southy shooting down reporters yesterday.
It’s “only” Senegal next. Unless we win 23-0 the lad needs to hang his head in shame.

We also have yet to finish a single game under him with 100% possession.

Southy is getting slated tonight before a ball is kicked ;lol:
:lol::lol:
To be honest finishing top of our group, scoring more goals than anyone else on the back of a final and a semi in his last 2 tournaments the stick has been bad enough.

Now public enemy number one for dropping a player many were saying was shite before the last game.

So, what do people reckon Southy should do against France? He will get pelters if we get beat off the team that has looked the strongest in the tournament, and with best player in the world. I reckon it should be the same as tonight.

Think he’ll go 5 at the back and bring dyer in. Try and get ahead and kill the game. Expect saka to start and help walker tracking back.
