Spot on - as a Boro fan it’s amazing how often I see England playing just like we did under Southgate. We keep dropping deeper and deeper, lack of confidence in making subs, no adventure. Astounded with our attacking talent that we were reluctant to get some penetration with our wingers.
We didn't tactically park the bus - the players froze as soon as Serbia started coming into the game. Foden doesn't suddenly look like a rabbit in headlights because of Southgate's tactics
Worst part is, Southgate will see today as a result which will reinforce his stupid belief that you should spend the rest of the game defending a one goal lead
If your good at Defending like sean dyches burnley we're then sometimes that tactics work Unfortunately for England's case it dosent as the defence isn't strong enough
What do you expect from someone who wasn't great as a player either.. bloke was useless when he was playing so being England manager isn't gonna be much better.. Gormless looking bloke Euro 96 shithouse

The fact that the media aren't asking things like "We've seen Spain and Germany dominate games this round, even Switzerland bossed a half, with a far weaker top 6 than us, how do you defend playing so passively to scrape a 1-0 against Serbia?" is criminal. Zero accountability from the media or FA for being so negative on a consistent basis.
No its fine. Let all the English media say England will dominate the Euros and are bookies favorites to win it. But now apparently "a win is a win" and thats all that matters. So they go from a world class team to suddenly settling for wins. Context is key. I was always respectful for the.opposition, but many England fans say things like "easy 3 or 4 nill win".
We can’t play like that against a France or Germany, this tournament is already written off after the first game. Southgate just sat on the bench and did nothing, Bellingham was the only leader on that pitch. Southgate out
@@ariasvelez7025This is not a victory this is only the fact Serbia didn't have the good players...put Mbappé, Giroux, Sané, Morata in front of this England and we are out..

Yeah I always wonder what players like Foden and Bellingham think of him and they way they play. When they have played for world class managers. Surely you must feel like burying your head in the sand
England were already dropping back at the end of the first half making sloppy passes. I didn’t see Gareth telling them to drop deeper or to give the ball away.

This is absolutely spot on, I've been saying this for years. I watched Kane and unless he's got the ball coming towards him he does absolutely nothing.
@@rocky1169pt that team dominted Italy in the first 30mins of that final and far outdid them man for man with a much better squad...yet Mr timid instead of going for the throat and finishing them off in first half went defensive and invited the attack and Itay did what I predicted they'd do before the game play for pens and rely on Donorumma because it was so predictable and that weak loser mentality is why he never won anything as a player or a manager
Told everyone Foden on the left is stupid but people don't understand balance in football. Stop shoehorning players into positions they don't play. Gordon has to start on the left.
@@markygti138agreed with his point about balancing then make an unbalanced midfield u wanna change our best players position so foden can play a lil better keep Trent he’s the way to go
@markygti138 of all the players you have a go at Trent who had a decent game but 1 mistake? He made some excellent passes and 1 interception that lead to a huge chance.. Foden, Kane were god awful. Gallagher wasn't great when he came on. We looked worse after each sub. England's Right hand side was the ONLY decent thing about today
I’ve made myself look like a fool. I thought we’d go on and score 2-3-4 goals and put the game out of reach. But then Southgate did a Southgate and sat back. F’n’hell this is going to be a depressing euros
Kane is only about personal glory and always goes missing in big games, that is why he has never ever won a trophy. A world class striker would be busting a gut to win a game.
I could not have said it any better.I am a 71 year old woman who loves to watch England,but I spend all the match shouting at the TV.Changer the MANGER.
Ngl I’m also surprised Foden didn’t come off, really bad performance for what I expected. Palmer? Eze? Gordon? How about them? Instead he subs off Bellingham our best player.
What I found so depressing about the performance was that we looked pretty much as good as Germany in the early stages, but unlike them, we failed to build a strong lead. While you don't want to peak too early, a multi-goal start does wonders for confidence and gets the tournament off to the right start. Instead we are already analysing a disappointing overall display. I tend to agree that Southgate is the problem. He just isn't an elite manager, with the added problem that we have a team predominantly consisting of elite players. It's a mismatch that keeps haunting us with poor decisions and, indeed, indecision at the business end of tournaments. Doubtless we'll progress to the quarter finals, at least, but with this group of players we should be winning tournaments. If we don't win this one, the FA needs to read the room and change the manager. It's looking like the same tired old story all over again this summer. One just gets the impression that our best rivals are better prepared.
& they have the audacity to say that others leagues are farmers league, while the premier league only good because of the foreigners, there is no Kevin Debruyne, Mo Salah, Halland to save them in the national team
@@boogy1033yeah that's the problem, totally not anything to do with us having an extremely low quality manager... Yeah the problem is we don't have enough good players like saka, Bellingham, rice, kane, Trent, stones etc
Harry Kane wasn’t the issue. Once Serbia started to press effectively we couldn’t play out. Southgate’s in game management is terrible. He couldn’t figure out/instruct the team to play around this which has been a consistent issue for him
I don't understand how he's even kept the job, he's been at the helm of so many disappoints and been in the role for 8 years? I can't even think of a manager given the same level of grace that Southgate has received. He needs to go after this tournament, win or lose.
@@Topstrika-b4h Gordon will keep width, he'll run with the ball on the touchline, something foden wasn't doing. he kept on moving into the centre holding hands with jude. Gordon would've provided some threat from the left.

@@dannjp75rack up how much that England team are worth? That isn’t the point anyway really, a championship manager would do better than Southgate with that player base.
It doesn’t help that he’s 30 now. Essentially at the point where footballers start to slow down career wise. He might still have fuel in the tank now but he will run out eventually.
@@NeilLewis77 at least they both won something in their career, like champions leagues and league trophies, what has Kane done, it seem like he can’t win
A worrying trend is the lack of subs altogether. We can all argue about who should and shouldn't be coming on, but in a knockout tournament you need to utilise the squad. We have so many great midfield and forward options we need to make more changes, the fact Serbia had four fresh players before we made one change spoke volumes for the intensity of the game second half.
If Southgate switches off like this all tournament, it will lead to his downfall as England manager. Those who don't learn their lesson pay the price and we've done so in the World Cup and the Euros before under him.
Did I miss something? I thought Foden was completely invisible, Saka and Jude the only players that actually attacked and he subs both. So Trent Saka and Jude subbed.... hmmm why not Foden Kane. Surely not
@@YEETT-k4ethis is always the blame but surely world class young talent Foden should still be doing better no? Saka shows up for England on the regular. Bellingham started living up to his hype and won us the game today. Where is Foden?
Bellingham clearly needed to be rested; he was the only one playing to win. Gareth, like every other manager before him, has no tactical ability. Just hope individuals can play like individuals
It’s astonishing that Southgate is the England manager. He is way out of his depth. If only a few of those players like Rice and Grealish had declared for the Irish senior team we might be there too. The analysis here is spot on. England play well, score a goal and he changes to defense mode which ends in panic. He’s not a winner.
@@michaelpower4372 he has a world class set of players, and the gutter press hasn’t the power it once had to destroy the lives of players and ruin the English teams chances. He’s a bottler and under achiever.
It's always been this way. The F.A always go for the quiet, safe pair of hands that plods along and stays uncontroversial. If The F.A had appointed Cloughie in 1982 instead of Bobby Robson, we would have won the World Cup in 86, or 90. England need an outspoken Maverick to inspire, but the F.A will never appoint anyone like that. Personally I would get Mourinho in. He's 61 now, the perfect age to manage internationally.
thank you! finally someone said it, England will never win a major trophy with Southgate at the wheel, he's such a boring coach, England wins games just because of Individual players skill
I don’t disagree, but when Southgate goes after this tournament, watch the FA run around like headless chickens with absolutely no idea who to appoint.
southgate's not only parked the bus, he's sat inside it doors locked, windows sealed with his seat belt on and hazard lights flashing... petrified to do anything...
Serbia showed more passion but lacked pace and any final third quality. While the group can be a good chance to build momentum for England I fear we will be completely exposed once we play a side with pace and attacking intent. France, Spain, and Portugal batter us based on today’s showing.
You're absolutely right, SO frustrating to consider how this stupidity cost us repeatedly in The past, when it could have easily been so different if it weren't for a managers cowardice and stubborness
Wasn't pretty. Hoping for better. Kane and Foden were absent. Rice, Saka, and Bellingham were doing the business. Serbia were tough team, credit to them as well.
It’s criminal that kane and foden played a full game then. Toney would’ve been better for the last 30 minutes getting behind them. Did kane win one long ball all night? 😂
@@owenmiller7920Yes let's leave out the best English striker in the premier league this season because he played up front during some collectively horrendous England team performances against the likes of Brazil.
Foden should’ve been subbed off in the 70th minute to rest him. He was knackered and Trent in midfield was always going to go wrong Gallagher is twice the midfielder than Trent can ever be. He isn’t a midfielder, he is a right back.
Bring Eddie Howe into this team and they’d win everything. He’d let the players actually use there creativity rather than playing football like it’s a Sunday league match
@@JoeyKneecap He's won the same as Southgate....nothing.If Southgate is qualified,then Howe certainly is. Southgate managed one club and got them relegated. Eddie Howe took a Bournemouth side on minus 16 points in league 2 and took them all the way to the Premier League.
players get a lot of freedom in southgates team, its what lots of people give him criticism for no? That theres no tactics. He let foden play anywhere he wanted, bellingham roam deep, left and up front, trent in midfield pushing right ot high. He does given them lots of opportunity for creativity
If England win the Euros it will be despite SlothGATE. He is a Championship level coach at best. He wears ‘smart’ clothes and is MSM friendly. He would make a very good liaison officer for the FA cause he does FA.
We got pinned back by Serbia. This is the best squad we’ve had since 2006. I was there sunshine. He’s awful. He’s a coward and he has zero tactical ability.
If this was erik ten hag, the press would have been on his neck after the first game in charge even if it was a friendly game against gibraltar. friendly.
I think the players always seem restricted under most managers. This lot we have have now are the best since the Gerrard/Scholes era. I think the players should pick their own team and tactics, they would probably get better results.
I didn’t think that was a bad sub to be fair to Southgate. Pretty much like for like for a tiring saka. He created a big chance in the first 5 minutes. The fact that Kane and foden played the full 90 is more of an issue.
I dont get what all the fuss is with foden. Hes been manufactured for Peps system. When you take him out of his environment hes bang average. Grealish would of been a major upgrade on Foden for me tonight. Baffling
@@robertnapier624 Southgate could have picked players with a left foot who have been playing left back but I stead decided to shoehorn as many players out of position as he can. He could have chose any of these, yes they aren't world class but all play in that position and have a left foot. Dan Burn Alfie Doughty Trick Mitchell Levi Colwill Rico Henry
That was a lot more stressful than it should have been. Wish Southgate would take the front 4 off at 60 minutes and bring on Watkins, Gordon, Palmer and Bowen, and say live with that. Like Ferguson would with United. That way the front 4 can be running their socks off doing a high press like Liverpool/ Newcastle, taking the pressure off a weak defensive rather than passing the ball back to them and putting them under pressure.
England will never win anything until they get rid of that Southgate and sort that play out. Holding onto a 1-0 is boring, and we need to try and move the ball forward with more pace.

This is absolutely spot on, I've been saying this for years. I watched Kane and unless he's got the ball coming towards him he does absolutely nothing.
I couldn’t agree with mark more… 3 things what will stop England from winning the euros
1. Southgate
2. Southgate
3.Southgate
4. Harry Maguire not being called up 😂
5. Southgate
4th actual better teams than England
5th an average defence...
But keep saying its the coach, despite never winning the euro before...
@@Jesse_E5150 He did get called up luckily he's injured
@@rocky1169pt that team dominted Italy in the first 30mins of that final and far outdid them man for man with a much better squad...yet Mr timid instead of going for the throat and finishing them off in first half went defensive and invited the attack and Itay did what I predicted they'd do before the game play for pens and rely on Donorumma because it was so predictable and that weak loser mentality is why he never won anything as a player or a manager
Told everyone Foden on the left is stupid but people don't understand balance in football. Stop shoehorning players into positions they don't play. Gordon has to start on the left.
Agree. Take Trent out, he offered nothing. Rice is more than capable of playing a single pivot with Foden and Bellingham ahead.
@@markygti138 offered nothing ?. He was one of our best players in the first half ...
@@markygti138agreed with his point about balancing then make an unbalanced midfield u wanna change our best players position so foden can play a lil better keep Trent he’s the way to go
trent made the goal happen lmao
@markygti138 of all the players you have a go at Trent who had a decent game but 1 mistake? He made some excellent passes and 1 interception that lead to a huge chance..
Foden, Kane were god awful. Gallagher wasn't great when he came on. We looked worse after each sub.
England's Right hand side was the ONLY decent thing about today
It's like having Allardyce in charge of Man City.
Except Allardyce is a half decent manager with a bit of common sense.
It’s like having Alan Ball as City manager…again
I’ve made myself look like a fool. I thought we’d go on and score 2-3-4 goals and put the game out of reach. But then Southgate did a Southgate and sat back. F’n’hell this is going to be a depressing euros
The whole world is like "Why can't we have a striker like Kane?" and England passes him the ball once all game. Hilarious!
You mean diving teams around the world are wondering why they can't have a diver like Harry kane.
Watkins and the betting guy are better options than the cursed
Kane is only about personal glory and always goes missing in big games, that
is why he has never ever won a trophy. A world class striker would be busting
a gut to win a game.
@@dennylucyyou are only saying that cuz youre black, so stop with the racism
I could not have said it any better.I am a 71 year old woman who loves to watch England,but I spend all the match shouting at the TV.Changer the MANGER.
We were absolutely awful… anyone thinking we are favourites to win this tournament needs to be sectioned
sectioned 😂😂
You could be favorites if the manager was anyone other than Southgate 🤣🤣🤣
David Baddiel and Frank Skinner need to re-record three lions (football’s coming home) and retitle it “we’re going home”.
I am a Jude fan. I think he is a completely legit ballon d’or worthy talent. I can see him taking England all the way.
@@Adam-l2g Now you really are out of your mind! England can't e even beat Iceland 🤣
Ngl I’m also surprised Foden didn’t come off, really bad performance for what I expected. Palmer? Eze? Gordon? How about them? Instead he subs off Bellingham our best player.
What I found so depressing about the performance was that we looked pretty much as good as Germany in the early stages, but unlike them, we failed to build a strong lead. While you don't want to peak too early, a multi-goal start does wonders for confidence and gets the tournament off to the right start. Instead we are already analysing a disappointing overall display.
I tend to agree that Southgate is the problem. He just isn't an elite manager, with the added problem that we have a team predominantly consisting of elite players. It's a mismatch that keeps haunting us with poor decisions and, indeed, indecision at the business end of tournaments.
Doubtless we'll progress to the quarter finals, at least, but with this group of players we should be winning tournaments.
If we don't win this one, the FA needs to read the room and change the manager.
It's looking like the same tired old story all over again this summer. One just gets the impression that our best rivals are better prepared.
Southgate: All the Gear and no Idea
English boys play with great foreigners in the premiership.
When they get together they're basically Scotland 😂
At least you made yourself laugh. Not seen Scotland in many semis or finals recently 🤔
& they have the audacity to say that others leagues are farmers league, while the premier league only good because of the foreigners, there is no Kevin Debruyne, Mo Salah, Halland to save them in the national team
You’re right England under Southgate are crap 😂
@@boogy1033yeah that's the problem, totally not anything to do with us having an extremely low quality manager...
Yeah the problem is we don't have enough good players like saka, Bellingham, rice, kane, Trent, stones etc
@@JoshAFCYes i saw you also with Sven goran Enrikson how good you are
Keep calling Southgate out Mark he's fkin useless
Harry Kane wasn’t the issue. Once Serbia started to press effectively we couldn’t play out. Southgate’s in game management is terrible. He couldn’t figure out/instruct the team to play around this which has been a consistent issue for him
All of his management is terrible but you're right his in game management is non existent.
I don't understand how he's even kept the job, he's been at the helm of so many disappoints and been in the role for 8 years? I can't even think of a manager given the same level of grace that Southgate has received. He needs to go after this tournament, win or lose.
talented players, dreadful football
Southgate is lucky. The worst thing happened to England was that semifinal.
And the other semi final.

Take the knee Southgate. Guy totally pisses me off.
Nothing wrong with that
@@user-ed7et3pb4o There's a hell of a lot wrong with that.

@@NeilLewis77 at least they both won something in their career, like champions leagues and league trophies, what has Kane done, it seem like he can’t win
A worrying trend is the lack of subs altogether. We can all argue about who should and shouldn't be coming on, but in a knockout tournament you need to utilise the squad. We have so many great midfield and forward options we need to make more changes, the fact Serbia had four fresh players before we made one change spoke volumes for the intensity of the game second half.
What an embarassment … another waste of the tournament
Get lost. It's only the first game.
@yoshiwoollyworldfr, we are not making it past the quarter finals
On RTÉ here in Ireland, Diidi Hamann said exactly what had been saying throughout the watchalong!
He was spot on BTW 👏
Didi has been spot on in everything he said. Amazing squad but major issues at the back and a massive issue with the manager.
If Southgate switches off like this all tournament, it will lead to his downfall as England manager. Those who don't learn their lesson pay the price and we've done so in the World Cup and the Euros before under him.
Did I miss something? I thought Foden was completely invisible, Saka and Jude the only players that actually attacked and he subs both. So Trent Saka and Jude subbed.... hmmm why not Foden Kane. Surely not
Thats Southgate for ya
Maybe because Southgate doesn't know how to use foden properly
Foden was worse than invisible - he was giving the ball away endlessly.
Facts
@@YEETT-k4ethis is always the blame but surely world class young talent Foden should still be doing better no?
Saka shows up for England on the regular. Bellingham started living up to his hype and won us the game today. Where is Foden?
Hooking your two best players while getting dominated by SERBIA is disgraceful
Bellingham clearly needed to be rested; he was the only one playing to win.
Gareth, like every other manager before him, has no tactical ability. Just hope individuals can play like individuals
@@seekfirstthekingdom4388not going to mention saka?

It’s astonishing that Southgate is the England manager. He is way out of his depth. If only a few of those players like Rice and Grealish had declared for the Irish senior team we might be there too. The analysis here is spot on. England play well, score a goal and he changes to defense mode which ends in panic. He’s not a winner.
So what manager has done better than Gareth Southgate for England since 66. I'd LOVE GREATH SOUTHGATE as Ireland manager.
@@michaelpower4372 he has a world class set of players, and the gutter press hasn’t the power it once had to destroy the lives of players and ruin the English teams chances. He’s a bottler and under achiever.
It's always been this way.
The F.A always go for the quiet, safe pair of hands that plods along and stays uncontroversial.
If The F.A had appointed Cloughie in 1982 instead of Bobby Robson, we would have won the World Cup in 86, or 90. England need an outspoken Maverick to inspire, but the F.A will never appoint anyone like that.
Personally I would get Mourinho in. He's 61 now, the perfect age to manage internationally.
He’s already signed with Fenerbahçe
Klopp
yep id have him, tuchel, poch, Howe, and many many more
No, the football is shocking, his behaviour and attitude stinks.
The main complaint people have is Southgate playing boring static football and you suggest to get Mourinho in. Don't make me laugh😂😂.
thank you! finally someone said it, England will never win a major trophy with Southgate at the wheel, he's such a boring coach, England wins games just because of Individual players skill
I don’t disagree, but when Southgate goes after this tournament, watch the FA run around like headless chickens with absolutely no idea who to appoint.
southgate's not only parked the bus, he's sat inside it doors locked, windows sealed with his seat belt on and hazard lights flashing... petrified to do anything...
both Serbia and England were absolutely dreadful
i read that with the voice of u know who )) scary movie 3
Tbf serbia were the better team despite not winning because they ended up close on stats just shows how far England has dropped
Serbia showed more passion but lacked pace and any final third quality.
While the group can be a good chance to build momentum for England I fear we will be completely exposed once we play a side with pace and attacking intent. France, Spain, and Portugal batter us based on today’s showing.
You obviously haven't watched the other games
@@lovejoy131 Germany would batter us too
Southgate reminds me of the Sunday league manager whose son plays in the team he’s managing, no strategy just pick a team and keep it on the pitch
you cant insult sunday league they pick teams to attack not defend for 90 mins SAFEGATE HIT THE POST is a bottle job
You're absolutely right, SO frustrating to consider how this stupidity cost us repeatedly in The past, when it could have easily been so different if it weren't for a managers cowardice and stubborness
gordon for foden has to be the move
same old england. as soon as we go ahead we lose all momentum. aimless, pointless, waiting to make an error. trent should have come off earlier.
He should've took out Foden and Kane and then put Gordan and Watkins
Wasn't pretty. Hoping for better. Kane and Foden were absent. Rice, Saka, and Bellingham were doing the business. Serbia were tough team, credit to them as well.
Rice will never win Arsenal a trophy the guy is so annoying to play with
@@Topstrika-b4hIt’s annoying because he had to play next to a right back in midfield who has no positional awareness
Yeah but honestly he is far from World class
@@Topstrika-b4h I don't know what he has to do to be world class to you. A hat trick maybe?
It’s criminal that kane and foden played a full game then. Toney would’ve been better for the last 30 minutes getting behind them. Did kane win one long ball all night? 😂
Which is ironic as it's criminal Toney who has had poor half season got in ahead of solanke
I personally would’ve taken Solanke over Watkins. Watkins performances for England have been rather bland.
@@owenmiller7920Yes let's leave out the best English striker in the premier league this season because he played up front during some collectively horrendous England team performances against the likes of Brazil.
England have been winning "despite" Southgate, not because of him.
Foden should’ve been subbed off in the 70th minute to rest him. He was knackered and Trent in midfield was always going to go wrong Gallagher is twice the midfielder than Trent can ever be. He isn’t a midfielder, he is a right back.
And crap all game...
A wingback maybe
Trent, Bellingham and Saka were the only ppl that did anything in that match for England. They all got subbed off. Makes sense
Trent was a bit of a disaster at times, let's be honest. Good and bad.
@@kevinb9830thats because Southgate wont play him in his actual position
Trent was bang average. Rice was far better.
Rice over Trent. Midfield experiment not working for TAA yet
Trent was very average once we didn’t have the ball - no man’s land of indecisiveness when Serbia had the ball.
58 years of hurt, Southgit is a nightmare dreaming
Bring Eddie Howe into this team and they’d win everything. He’d let the players actually use there creativity rather than playing football like it’s a Sunday league match
As a Newcastle fan, I would be devastated if he left us but you are correct. He would get the best out of these players.
Even Steve Bruce would just let the players just decide how they want to play on their own.
What have Howe won? Promotion from The Championship. Come on. Let's get real here.
@@JoeyKneecap He's won the same as Southgate....nothing.If Southgate is qualified,then Howe certainly is. Southgate managed one club and got them relegated. Eddie Howe took a Bournemouth side on minus 16 points in league 2 and took them all the way to the Premier League.
players get a lot of freedom in southgates team, its what lots of people give him criticism for no? That theres no tactics. He let foden play anywhere he wanted, bellingham roam deep, left and up front, trent in midfield pushing right ot high. He does given them lots of opportunity for creativity
Your Right and Southgate is not Man enough to do the Right Thing
Gordon would have been better on the left than Foden.
Yeah southgate played foden out of position
Southgate will never take this team anywhere near it's potential. Embarrassing.
Southgate looks visibly petrified the longer the game goes on and lacks the bottle to make positive changes.
I cannot believe he actually sat back after 13 mins to protect the lead
Foden playing well??? What!? He was our worst player by a country mile!!!
That's because SouthGate played him out of position
he wasnt that good
@@YEETT-k4eunfortunately there isn’t a position for him if Bellingham plays. I’d rather have Gordon on the left for balance.
Foden was awful
He said Foden played well put until the goal... and didn;t notice him after that
Southgate can’t win even when he wins.
If England win the Euros it will be despite SlothGATE. He is a Championship level coach at best. He wears ‘smart’ clothes and is MSM friendly. He would make a very good liaison officer for the FA cause he does FA.
That was against Serbia mate, which is extremely worrying.
Just wasn't decisive or convincing enough.
We got pinned back by Serbia. This is the best squad we’ve had since 2006. I was there sunshine. He’s awful. He’s a coward and he has zero tactical ability.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Southgate is sh*t as a manager. Completely out of depth in such a critical position.
I have a used spoon in my sink that has better tactics than Gareth Southgate.
Good joke
Well that will stir things up.
If this was erik ten hag, the press would have been on his neck after the first game in charge even if it was a friendly game against gibraltar. friendly.
Criminal that he was allowed to take shaw who hasn’t played football since February.
As soon as we play someone half decent it’s over
Southgate has the England team forever looking like a side that's fighting relegation, very very frustrating all round.
Spot on. We were all saying the same. Southgate doesn't learn. We should be playing flowing fast attacking football.
I think the players always seem restricted under most managers. This lot we have have now are the best since the Gerrard/Scholes era. I think the players should pick their own team and tactics, they would probably get better results.
I like Bowen, but that sub for me was an indicator of Southgate's mindset. Sit back, cling on, and try to hit them on the break. Pathetic.
I didn’t think that was a bad sub to be fair to Southgate. Pretty much like for like for a tiring saka. He created a big chance in the first 5 minutes.
The fact that Kane and foden played the full 90 is more of an issue.
You mean the Connor Gallagher substitution. Bowen made an instant impact and should have come on earlier
I dont get what all the fuss is with foden. Hes been manufactured for Peps system. When you take him out of his environment hes bang average. Grealish would of been a major upgrade on Foden for me tonight. Baffling
What you expect the lad to do when he's out of position? Thats like playing bloody lampard at left wing
It's been the manager for 40 years.
Nah. Been sh@te since hoddle.
That left hand side was clearly lacking and needed someone with a left foot but instead Gordon stayed on the bench
Its fuckin mental mate. He would have caused serbia major problems
Foden didn’t even attempt to play his position. He was into the centre from the first whistle
And who is England’s left back? Even if it’s Luke shaw he is injury prone. Who else does Southgate have?
@@robertnapier624 Southgate could have picked players with a left foot who have been playing left back but I stead decided to shoehorn as many players out of position as he can. He could have chose any of these, yes they aren't world class but all play in that position and have a left foot.
Dan Burn
Alfie Doughty
Trick Mitchell
Levi Colwill
Rico Henry
How can a player like Foden be world class for Man City and then be pants for England!
Because Man City are a machine and Foden knows exactly what part he is in that machine
@@ChrisBeevor0511 nope because Southgate play him out of position. Even when foden played on the left at city he was bad
He’s not a left winger on the international stage
@@thetravellers1253 he wasn;t this bad.
Southprat
That was a lot more stressful than it should have been. Wish Southgate would take the front 4 off at 60 minutes and bring on Watkins, Gordon, Palmer and Bowen, and say live with that. Like Ferguson would with United.
That way the front 4 can be running their socks off doing a high press like Liverpool/ Newcastle, taking the pressure off a weak defensive rather than passing the ball back to them and putting them under pressure.
This match produced less XG than any prem game from last season lmao
England will never win anything until they get rid of that Southgate and sort that play out. Holding onto a 1-0 is boring, and we need to try and move the ball forward with more pace.
