Kane is going to be England's all-time greatest goalscorer. He has my respect. Same as Rooney for me, his want to play Roy of the Rovers and be anywhere other than up front is tarnishing what he's done for England Another thing that wasn't actually that bad tonight though, maybe it was because of mbappe but he didn't do his stint at right back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saka also had a daisy cutter And also a shot on target from Kane from open play. But his and Saka's were both weak and very easy for Lloris to save, argh!!! Sooo frustrating.

I wouldn’t go that far as he’s done some good stuff but he’s not an elite manager and his lack of tactical knowledge shows through. We have a wealth of talent and he ignores most of it for his sodding favourites. He then gets all Steve Bruce and plays about 10 RBs. Personally I think he and the way he set us up lost us the Euros. He’s done wonders with the way England is set up away from the games and hats off to him for that, the group togetherness, the professionalism and the way the media work and relationship has become a positive one. He’s just too defensive for my liking and I think he should step down (but he won’t) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still though our style is boring. No ones saying its boring, it was in previous tournaments, although I think alot is Southgate giving into media pressure. We just need a change, he has done his best and has always failed when up against smarter managers and challenging opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it's a step too far in tournament football to pick names and not play them, let alone pick the likes of Coady for no other reason than dressing room harmony. The spine of the team remains his favourites, and for all their various qualities, many of those names just aren't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Maddison was never gonna step onto the pitch. The only reason that Southgate took him was to keep fans and media onside early and avoid any uproar. I had more chance of getting minutes at this World Cup than James Maddison. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great kid, great player, just needs to be braver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
