I don’t get it I love it. He's lied and talked utter shit for years. No one aside from Villa fans were particularly bothered when he was talking down Grealish. Now the the personnel he's working with are incredible and he can't just stumble around being celebrated for scraping results. Same as Gerrard. He's a disgrace and will never manage again after this. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted Tuesday at 23:21 Share Posted Tuesday at 23:21 1 hour ago, Zatman said: they have avoided Spain, France, Germany and Portugal. Netherlands more likely the next opponent followed by Italy or Swiss then Austria or Belgium maybe The side of the draw looks to be irrelevant for this England side. Currently can't imagine beating a single one of the bolded sides anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jayEm Posted Tuesday at 23:40 Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 23:40 This tournament is proving right all of us who have said since about 2020 that Southgate is just not good enough and England's progress is largely down to favourable draws. I didn't expect to be vindicated so thoroughly though. This current squad is better than the last three tournaments under him and somehow we look worse than ever. It's truly impressive. It's sort of nice to (barring one of the biggest turnarounds in form in history) be having the last laugh over people who have for years called us spoilt, ungrateful, whiners, unreasonable perfectionists, whatever, but it's an entirely pyrrhic victory because this group of players performing this badly on the world stage is, in footballing terms, tragic. For a few brief moments Southgate fixed the England national team culture, but then replaced it with his own different but equally flawed mentalities. He has replaced obnoxious entitlement not with humble grit and determination, but an exasperated embarrassment at any hint of aspirations or standards. Just as quickly as we saw a disconnected, disinterested team become one full of pride and togetherness, it has morphed again into an excuse-ridden, blame-shifting, overly-defensive unit. In the last analysis, even Southgate's cultural revolution will turn out to have been swapping one set of poor attributes for another as a result of his own stubborn refusal at self-examination or humility. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is so full of s*** to be fair to them it sounded to me like they sang the great escape for 10+ minutes in the 2nd half no doubt the kolsch helped but they boo at the end but they're generally ok during the game, they party all day, the atmosphere isnt that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep agree with this, if he had any sense he would’ve gone after losing to France last WC (I wanted him gone a lot before). At that stage he at least could argue that they were unlucky and the media would go along with this and say what a good job he’d done and unified the team. By staying to this tournament he’s losing any grace he had and like you say shows that nothing has changed in an England shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted Wednesday at 06:32 Share Posted Wednesday at 06:32 It's not even pragmatism or defensive at this point. It's just inept coaching clear as fat and I can spot it a mile off, we've had enough of them. Terrible coaching, terrible training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
