Southgate is shit but players getting away with murder here. Absolute basics they are struggling with today

Phil Foden system player will come back up 

This is the problem. Commentators all blaming the players too. 

Remember under Gerrard we had a thread about "Are the players to blame" or something similar.   Well we know damn well the players were good enough, in fact they were better than good enough, they were Champions League qualification good enough.  It was the god awful manager that was to blame, not the players. 

It's EXACTLY the same here.  We KNOW damn well the players are good enough.  If they're looking clueless or lacking in heart or fight it's down to the manager.  He's not preparing them proper. He's not coaching them properly. He's not going them the right tactics. 

Honestly, it's so easy to lay the blame at the feet of the players but they're being sent out there like lambs to the slaughter and it's hard to play your heart out for a fraud who's set you up to fail. Especially when the opposition are well drilled, know their job and have a clear coherent plan to get at you. 

There is only one person to blame and that's Southgate.

Maybe he’s got too big for his boots. Believing his own hype. He was poor for Real towards the end of the season.

He'll be a problem later in this game. On a yellow and charging around the pitch so will either get sent off losing the ball or give Slovakia a very good counter.

I think he just needs to drop a bit deeper and told to calm down and not do a Roy of the rovers performance. He was excellent for Dortmund in a deeper position.

This was always going to be one of englands biggest problems. A blind faith in playing Kane in every situation with no thought of shape, balance or opponent. 

He's practically a midfielder in this setup.

Has to make changes. I despair everytine I see Trippier get the ball. Foden done **** all. 

Commentators are absolutely staggered there are no changes. Every one of them shocked.
