Fair enough. Positve thing might be that we build something very competent as result of that shitshow (and then became complacent again...), so maybe history repeats itself.

Southgate really isn’t going for this. Literally trying to fluff a goal to win. Can’t be playing for penalties. Even he isn’t that mad is he
germany's chance to score increasing by a decentt amount with gnabry on and werner off.
This feels like a friendly before the tournament. Hope the Grealish sub steps things up a gear.
Kane, Sterling, Saka, Rice! Sub them all and try to win the f..ing game. Or is Southgate waiting for the penalty shootout?
what do you all make of Bukake Saka?
Scenes when Grealish scores a Greal Goal.
Now take Walker off for Rashford and go 4-3-3 to take advantage of tiring legs.
Our best player so far goes off 
This is worse than the Euro 2000 match.
And he just keeps talking. Being a commentator doesn't mean you need to fill every single second with your inane drivel.
You're supposed to draw the fouls not commit them
I just want to see Grealish give it away in the centre circle
Always an interesting debate - is it just luck of the draw in terms of talent at that one time, or is there more to it. Usually a combo of both id imagine
Oh look another Irish name comes on
Gareth is desperate to avoid scoring isn't he, it's like the world decided de Boer was the worst coach and Gareth said hold my beer.
Dreadful so far. They can't be serious about offering Southgate a new contract.
That saka sub would have happened regardless of how he played today. Pre planned because it’s the easy decision.
Why don't we fecking drive forward at all. Slow slow slow, zero intensity. It's horrific.
When's Kane coming on?
Our best player so far goes off
probably Maguire or Pickford are the best one so far.
You could have subbed off everyone from Sterling, Kane or Saka. With this defensive tactics it's quite difficult for them anyway.
He never was. Just because we have got over the penalty shootout jinx doesn't mean we have to keep landing in them.
Genuinely can't believe just how spineless Southgate has us looking, and my expectations were on the floor to begin with.
Get Rashford and Grealish on for saka and Kane, switch sterling to the right, rashford on the left and grealish drop bit deeper as no. 10
It has to be said that Germany have been pretty shite to watch except for Havertz
Maguires played well
Luck is always a factor, but the strong talents we brought up had a lot to do with systematic changes.
England could have lost this game 5-0 and Southgate would still keep his job. FA have been utter morons to have briefed the media prior to this game that they would be extending Southgate's contract.
He wants one of the lads to miss a penalty so everyone forgets about his piss poor penalty. Trying to erase his own shitness from our memories.
Unfortunately, I had to bring mine to it.
Holy f*ck it was painful, but less so than this.
This ref is odd as feck
Why?
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Southgate wants redemption by winning a penalty shootout.
did his job but didn’t stand out from the crowd
Terrible game
The cheer for Grealish says it all. Southgate is an absolute coward
