Day 3 | Poland vs Netherlands | Slovenia vs Denmark | Serbia vs England

Another group wasted by Southgate

Southgate just doesn’t have it in him to go for a team/dictate

He picks names before the best XI

Be interested to see how many pro Southgate posts there were two weeks ago. People forget how shite Southgate is

His in game management is appalling. He’s too scared to take big players off and his reading of the game and when to make changes is non existent.
 
For some reaons Phil Foden is not as good for England NT as he's often for Manchester City.
 
Do other nations not do the same or something? I've always found it weird when people complain about an English channel praising the England team during tournaments.

I’m English but have noticed the BBC are never as enthusiastic about Wales and Scotland as they are about England. NI may as well not even exist.
 
Guardiola or Klopp probably wins us this tournament. Even someone like Eddie Howe probably does miles better
 
It is not about Southgate. It is about quality of players. Very overrated.

Media and pundits paint a very wrong picture about players from England. I've said before game that not many would be starting for other top nations.

It has everything to do with Southgate. The quality of individual players in this England team is up there with the likes of Portugal, France, Germany and Spain. A good manager would let this team click. They are painfully easy to read.
 
Bellingham and Saka would ride the bench? No chance.

It's absolute nonsense that Bellingham wouldn't get. He plays for Real Madrid for Christ sake and is player of the year in La Liga. There us not a team in world football he doesn't start for.
 
Southgate needs to change something with this team. So constrained and lacking control like every England team at a major tournament. Bringing Gallagher on while trying to hang on against Serbia just screams Hodgson.
 
For some reaons Phil Foden is not as good for England NT as he's often for Manchester City.
Cause Guardiola has a habit of making players look brilliant in his system, see how Sterling and Sane fell off after they left. Foden must be shitting himself at the rumours Guardiola's leaving next summer.
 
ref’s finally worked out how yellows are supposed to be used.
