Weird confidence issue tonight. Never on the front foot. Never looked like they believed in it, or wanted it enoughâŚ

Why does Gareth Southgate get it in the neck if otherwise great players perform like donkeys? He doesnât have a controller to move them about.
England are basically through. Job done.
Southgate is the Coach. He sets the tactics and picks the team. He can also make subs and tweak tactics mid game.
He is incapable of all of the above.

It feels that if a team does well the players get all the praise, but if they do shit the manager gets all the blame.

Honestly donât think you can blame Southgate for everything tonight. Team lost their mojo, no belief. Never on the front foot. No positivity. No forward movement. Doubt that was instructions from managementâŚ
You can blame him for Gallagher though. No call for that. At least play Wherton. Would love to see Palmer as first sub on every single game too.
Southgate is clearly very conservative tactically and that is impacting the choices players are making.
You need Brendan McCullum as the coach. Go for absolute all out attack bazball. Play a 1-1-8.
Crash out in the group stage but do it in style.
What level of domestic football do you think he is genuinely capable of coaching?
Given his chequered past and getting the England job through good under 21 performance (a bit of a hint as to his capabilities).
Not reading 58 comments but fuck me that was awful
Sack him now

He was playing Phillips alongside Rice. Very meat and potatoes. He would have had David Batty in there if he could.
Playing Trent is him chancing his arm, taking a risk, might not be working as well as youâd hope but itâs a step in the right direction.

And, letâs be honest, who are you putting in the England manager/head coach role who would a) do a good job and b) actually take it in the first place?
Spain vs Italy kicks off in 15 mins.
Time to watch some decent football.

Yamal and Williams doing more in three minutes than we managed in a game.
Entertainment-wise at leastâŚ

I know they can be dubious on so many levels (as can anyone, especially us English) but I love the Italians, no one else Iâd sooner win. Love holidaying there. 370+ days on DuolingoâŚ
All fermented via James Richardson eating really fancy puddings outside of Italian cafes on Football Italia back when all the best players were in Serie A.
Gooooollaaaalllazo.

Itâs crazy! Quick google shows me : Only 24 own goals have been scored in the 17 European Championship tournaments to date. This is going to be a high ranking one. 11 in 2020 though.
