Super Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 We have so much attacking talent yet we are barely a threat and create very little. That is down to Southgate. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is down to Southgate. I agree to a point but these players have precious little passion and desire. Even singing the National anthem looked a chore to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denbury Red Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 When Southgate has a multitude of players from which to choose - why select a player (Saka) and play him out of position. Either play him in his correct position or don’t play him at all! The team should be made up of the best players in each position - not just eleven players and then put them in eleven positions - it just doesn’t work! Its been sooooo boring!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need the footballing equivalent of Brendon McCullum to come in, remove the fear of failure and let the players show their talent. Southgate is too meek and conservative, he did very well to get us to a semi final and final in the last 2 tournaments but we need someone to take us to the next level and get the best out of this fantastic group of players.

I’m not a massive Southgate fan but ‘very poor’ is a bit harsh Don’t agree. Got to the final, go 1-0 after 8 mins and sit back against an aging Italian team that were never coming back from 2 or 3 down. Poor poor coach who has achieved zero in his club management career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our first major final for half a decade gets no credit? Fair enough. We all see things differently. He should have managed that final differently no doubt but to get no credit for getting there isn’t right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of agree although that Italy side were very useful- look at what they did to Belgium in the quarters, we had a similar fade a'la vs Croatia 2018, Holland 2019- both semis- and even to an extent, the Euro 2020 qualifier in Prague 3 years, our midfield in these games just got gradually outmatched and outplayed and we lost control and eventually be it normal time, extra time, penalties the game. Group stage, Spinazzola fantastic outlet. They went 30 odd unbeaten for a reason. I do think he needs to sort certain things out however.
