I can see why you support Arsenal.
Yeah accepts years of mediocrity too much

So can anyone explain why this guy is Sir Gareth Southgate ?
The modern group are a good core of players but its not Spain 2010, Brazil 02 or France 98 levels good. The idea England 'should' be winning the World Cup is a sick joke. Especially when you cycle through the French and Brazil squads. England are certainly one of the better teams, but I wouldnt place Englands chances above Spain, Netherlands, Argentina, Germany, Belgium, Portugal.
Italy are a great side, the European champions. It was a 1-0 away defeat in Italy. I mean, do England fans honestly think 'this' England team is some sort of sensational national team?
Tuchel ?Like who??
Who could replace him? Who is available, and who would want the job??
Just sack him already.
Seems like the perfect replacement since day to day man management isn't his strongest suit.Tuchel ?
Jobs made for him ….free to pick whoever he wantsSeems like the perfect replacement since day to day man management isn't his strongest suit.
I totally agree. I think one or two on here are slightly delusional about this England squad. Words like "golden generation" getting thrown about.The modern group are a good core of players but its not Spain 2010, Brazil 02 or France 98 levels good.

Caretaker then look at appointing someone full time before next internationals in March
Tuchel ?
Yeah should be gone before Monday
Probably not, who knows ….but it‘d be very interesting if he didAnd he would accept the job, rather than await for a club job would he??
Shades of Ole's team training well and being a great bunch of lads. Same culture of encouraged mediocrity and failure

Who are our world class footballers to call it golden? Probably Harry Kane and that's about it, and that man needs service if he's going to be remotely effective.
England are just one of a bunch of sides that can reasonably expect to compete at the back end of the tournaments but we're no way near good enough or talented enough to think we should be on a pedestal.
None of this defends Southgate at the moment, though. Performances are genuinely pathetic right now.
To be fair it might not make sense for a manger change right now unless southgate's lost the dressing room. Tuchel won't have time to get the team to play his football in time for the world Cup.
Southgate should be sacked, but Southgate won't be sacked. The FA love him and they'll use the crap excuse that they shouldn't change coach just before the World Cup except we'll be waiting 4 years for the next one and for the likes of Kane (a genuine top drawer number 9) that will be too late.
I don't know how many times I have to read this crap about being in a WC semi and a Euros final. In both tournaments with the exception of Belgium (who beat us twice) we played the international versions of pub teams and still couldn't get the job done.
He should never have been given the job as he's a poor coach but then this is England and this is the FA. Another decent generation of players will be wasted on another crap coach.

Tell ya what I didnt think of Tuchel but Jesus he be perfect right now. Done it with Chelsea cup specialist, and knows the system Southgate trying to play million times better than what southgate thinks he is going, and instant boost to the team a proven winner coming in.
The English if they had sense would bin him off, be another wasted 4 years and the media talking about what they need to do and celebrating runs in tournaments while being toothless when met with anyone decent.
Spain win the World Cup with a midfield of Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets. Brazil win it with a front three of Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo
But appaently Southgate 'should' be winning the World Cup with this 'golden generation'.
This England team is so far away from being a team that is expected to win the World Cup. No Non-Englishman expects this England team to win the World Cup. Infact, if England were to win it, it would be a massive surprise
If English football really is a powerhouse, how can you possibly have a non Enlishmen managing the national team? Would Germany ever appoint an Englishman?

Do you follow a national team? If you’re team had a squad equivalent to the England national side, would you not be frustrated with the quality of football being produced with said players? He is definitely underperforming with the tools he has at his disposal.Spain win the World Cup with a midfield of Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets.

He's not it's just banter
Yeah that knighthood meant he couldn't be touched but I thought his management of the final was scandalous. The cup was there for the taking.He should have lost them after Euros final, not European champions because of his sitting back approach. How I wish we had much tougher routes in last two tournaments.
