Popular Post Chindie Posted Sunday at 21:03 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 21:03 I hate him. He's been lucky to stumble on a talented group of players that have been quite settled, and had some extremely easy draws. He has obvious favourites who he will not drop - Kane and Foden have been diabolical in this competition, Kane in particular looks like he's barely able to play. But he won't switch him out without being forced. And he complains that the squad is inexperienced and thin - but he seems loathe to give players opportunities. We have friendlies, nations league games, where he just puts the same team out and maybe 1 player gets 2 minutes for a debut cap. He also seems to resent changing things when he has to - Watkins comes on and actually does some running and pressures, he then doesn't play again. He hated calling up Grealish until he couldn't ignore him, and then seemed to resent playing him. And you could forgive all that if we played well. But we don't. We're **** terrible. We've stunk this tournament out. It's a tragedy we're still in it. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even that position it’s taken him 4 games to pick the right player who a lot of people (including me) were saying should have been picked from game 1 He had that friendly in march where he instantly looked the part to every man and his dog...apart from one man who thought playing a RB there would be better because that RB has a better passing range but that man also then never set up the rest of the team or used tactics to ever use that passing range You can do that kind of simple thing for pretty much every position in the team, starting with Pickford and him still kicking too long to absolutely no one, there's not really a single player in the starting 11 who plays with any real cohesion, the majority of them also play a role that they don't for their club It's genuinely bizarre how bad he sets us up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's like me watching lawyer television shows: they get so much wrong at some point it's not even worth it and I avoid it all costs.

WHY Posted Sunday at 21:13 Share Posted Sunday at 21:13 Just watched Bellingham’s interview on Sky and having played with and against his old man for years I’m not surprised it’s everyone else’s fault why they have been so bad. Not sure what he expects fans to say and do, to be fair I don’t think it’s even been that bad. He should be thankful he wasn’t playing 20/30 years ago, they get off lightly nowadays. Just like his Dad he’s got a lot to say for himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adman Posted Sunday at 21:21 Share Posted Sunday at 21:21 I'll be honest, the vitriol goes a bit far for me. We're through again, if we play like shit and win so be it. I don't expect us to, but it's been far worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve played 4 shit teams and barely scraped through Was wondering earlier if after so many years of being heroic losers what it’d be like to be the most unheroic winners. I’d definitely agree a decent opposition will most likely embarrass us but starting to think just maybe we play shit all the way through and win the damn thing. It’s been done before a few times.

Zatman Posted Sunday at 22:03 Share Posted Sunday at 22:03 could you imagine Jose or Klopp having no control over what they are saying in an interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted Sunday at 22:15 Share Posted Sunday at 22:15 For pity's sake, surely we can find a better Engiand coach than this? The squad is absolutely stuffed full of talent but they've been paying like a team trying to fend off relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but it's going to be such an anticlimax if we do because it won't have been because we've been rhe best team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted Monday at 01:46 Share Posted Monday at 01:46 The good thing out of all of this is I can totally see him becoming United manager when Ten Haag eventually gets sacked this season. That'll keep them down and will be quite funny to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate to man yew would be great antidote to the anti football of England that is currently stinking out the euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
