Outplayed everywhere. Which just shouldn’t happen given the calibre of players. 

Bringing on Henderson and not Foden speaks volumes about Southgates negative tactics. 

My instinct is to totally agree , and I’m no great Southgate fan ,

 

But in the context of tournament football , he probably did the right thing 

We weren’t cohesive at all , And looked more likely to lose the game than win it , lacked some leadership....

He made us slightly more solid , take the point , get out the group and move on

Southgate genuinely played for the 0-0 in the 2nd half. Embarassing

Why? It’s tournament football against a good team that were causing us problems. Most of the USA team play top flight football in England, France, Italy and Spain. They are a good team. We will win the group now because of that point.

A group format + a big win in your first game + Southgate as manager = very careful steady performance.

We didn't need to take chances, and Gary doesn't like to anyway. Don't lose, we didn't lose, he'll be fairly happy.

To win anything, we need to be more front foot aggressive .

EDIT;

If he gets us through top, you can't argue with it really

Wish people would stop defending Southgate, he is so clearly not brave enough for the job

We set out negative and to play for the draw absolutely unacceptable 

But he’s a nice bloke and media friendly so all is well

picking mount over foden or Maddison is absolutely moronic 

I agree with picking mount over foden but Jesus he can’t ouch Maddison over him when the bloke is still injured
