I get it,
But a football tournament at the end of the day is all about results, we finished top of the group, yes it's an anticlimax cos we were shite to watch but the objective was achieved.
I just hope we don't draw the next 4 games 0-0 and win them all on penalties, what an awful tournament that will have been. Probably best all round if in the next game, England get walloped and get it over and done with.

Don't know what Southgate can do when players of the calibre of Kane, Bellingham, Fodan, Rice etc can no longer pass a ball ten fucking yards

I'd get Gordon on the left, bit of pace, drive and directness and drop Bellingham a bit deeper, with Fodan moved closer to the middle

Anyway, we won our group and that's the first achievement done

It must be hard to play and raise your game in the toxic environment that the England players are playing in.  Having beer glasses thrown at them is not going to help them improve.

As for Southgate, he's made some difficult decisions not bringing so called big name players and has gone against the press, who normally like to pick the team for the England manager.  I feel Saka and Bellingham haven't really impressed this tournament and we saw glimpses of what Foden can do last night. 

I've been screaming out for Mainoo to start the group games and from what little time Palmer got, I think he did enough to be in the next starting eleven.

I've watched international football since 1966 and know that group stage football is tedious and often a hard watch.  We've now progressed to the knockout stages and the real tournament begins.  Teams are less likely to sit back with eleven men behind the ball and games should be more open.

To call Southgate pragmatic is probably the understatement of the year. But in his defence he can't be solely at fault because certain "world class" players haven't shown up as yet.

Anyway, wasn't the biggest concern before the tournament started our defence? Yet in our three games so far Pickford has hardly been troubled - and I'd go as far to say of all the teams in the competition we've presented the fewest scoring opportunities to our opponents.

The bottom line is we just need to find a way of moving the ball from defence to attack a bit quicker. A lot quicker in fact. And I'm not sure Southgate has the capabilities to remedy that.

Make the changes.. go all out.. get beat 4-3 the next game.. then we don't have to worry about being shite in the final lol

I wonder what people will say if he wins it.Even if he does I think it's his last tournament.

Kippers

If Rice continues to hide behind his marker, our midfield will remain shite. Just doesn't offer himself as an out.

They will say he's been a master tactician and our best ever England manager.

BoroRedKen

Southgate as a master tactician is akin to Monty Panasarr as Prime Minister.....



Kippers

Well the real competition starts now. If you look at internation competition history and the Italians in particular, they always start slow, even the great teams they have had.
  Remains to be seen how we will do, but following Boro gives you an insight of how we fair against shit teams but then raise our game dramatically when playing so called tougher opposition.
   The subs that came on last night is how we should line up for the rest of the tournament.

Gareth Southgate is the only manager in the world who could take the Bundesliga top scorer, La Liga player of the season and the EPL player of the season, and pick a system that makes all three completely ineffective.

Euro 96 was the last time we played decent and with confidence, it's been various levels of shit ever since.Blame Southgate for the team and formation but you can't blame him for players who can't pass ten yards without giving it away.

Gazza full of confidence, peak Shearer.. Pearce with a score to settle.

Drew with Switzerland, drew with Spain, Drew with Germany..

That flick of Gazza's was good against Scotland and the dentists chair celebration!
