Northern Red Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Southgate is an honourable man and I think he would quit after the WC if he'd had enough or felt he'd taken them as far as he could. He thought about packing in after the Euros. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Final whistle. Last 20 were maybe marginally better, but we are a poor side. Southgate just far too comfortable with this group of players and will not change some who are clearly out of form, or the way he sets them up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying get rid of him I’m just saying I wouldn’t guarantee him a space in the starting line up right now. In the England side I just haven’t seen that much from Kane tbh, I’m not doubting his ability at all he’s the best striker England has still, but short of penalties I don’t really see what he’s been adding to the national team since the euros, maybe it’s the system or players not being used to him but Kane in England isn’t close to Kane at Spurs.

RedRock Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Relegated and deserved to be. Let’s hope that Southgate’s superb motivational and tactical skills are brought to the fore before the World Cup. Not entirely Southgate's fault, the rest of the World have moved on rapidly over the last couple of years. We’ve stood still at best in England.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) That was poor losing to an Italian team without Immobile, Chiesa, Locatelli, Insigne and Spinazzola to name but 5. Not having scored a goal from open play for more than 550 minutes deserves relegation. And what was playing Sakha at left wing back all about.

Bedred31 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Southgate going the way of all England managers. Playing players out of position and players who are demonstrably out of form and not playing for their clubs, because they’ve served him well in the past. He seems to have lost any ability to inspire or motivate, and he’s always been a fairly ordinary tactition. His major advantage- luck ( he’s never had serious injuries like Erickson and has two pretty favourable draws in competitions- seems to be deserting him as well. With a bit of that luck, we’ll have a respectable World Cup, but I can’t see him in post this time next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Tuchel, Benitez or Poch please we’ve been poor. I wonder if our last two tournaments have been good despite Gareth. Not often City have a better manager than England. Pretty cool really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't do himself any favours by playing players out of Position (Saka as a wing back?) and players out of form.....I felt sorry for Bellingham. And I thought Sterling was dire..........rather than Dire being sterling? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactically it was very easy for them tonight in the most part. Stay close to their man and shut them down. Sterling was woeful for most of the game and couldn't handle the close marking, made him look so technically inept and ordinary. This England side has gone backwards imo, which points to the fact Southgate is so bereft of any idea of how to progress this team. Players don't look like they are playing for or believe in him. James was totally shocking tonight, just didn't look like he wanted to be there, which I'm amazed at tbh, he looked like one of the worlds best right backs last season.

RedRock Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 My only hope is that the Germans are normally crap before tournaments. .. and often go on to impress. Maybe that’s Southgate’s tactic. Just totally mystified though - when we know everything we need to know about playing Kane up top - why Southgate didn’t go for two up front with Toney playing. Plan ‘A’ currently isn’t working…but we know Southgate will use ‘A’, no matter what, to start the World Cup. Why not look at a Plan ‘B’? … and Saka as a wing back on the wrong side. Southgate got what he deserved with that tactical gem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
