Agree. England doesn't have shooters and runners, and it shows from the lack of shots on target. The style of Kane and Saka (as great as he was yesterday) is ploddy and slows down the game. Awful football to watch.

BBC pundits were clearly paid an extra % to not say anything negative about them. Either that or they were high

It is absolutely dross football. When you compare the Spain v Germany game it’s like watching a different sport. Sideways/backwards snorefest for the 5th game in a row.

It was a better performance against better opposition

@@SimonFlynn-un1ur are Switzerland better than Serbia or Denmark? It's debatable

i know what you mean, hearing the players moaning about being criticised and trying to create a siege mentality just makes me lose interest in them. Southgate doesnt deserve to win a tournament and be lauded as a hero, we have waited nearly 60 years , a few more wont matter. This team has many tournaments in them, the manager doesnt

No. It will be because of Gareth. He issxmana the squad well

@@SimonFlynn-un1ur ?

@@danielfarnell2708 Southgate has done a good job with this squad

Then don't watch, easy solution for you 👍

Blah blah blah your just repeating what your dad said 😂

Congratulations, someone else who sees that Kane is useless. I keep saying he’s another Andy Cole, need a load of shots to actually score and when he does it’s some team like Macedonia then he score 3 and then everyone says how great he is. Southgate is like the past managers in that they let the team shoot at their own goal trying to score for the opposition.

Entertainment ain't Rice's job surely you know that

​@@supersaintchristophe337bro common sense isn't so common for these ppl

And how did we get on in previous decades? Please remind me

Using a new line instead of a full stop makes it looks like you are attempting poetry lol

It’s frustrating football ⚽️

Gordon being punished for speaking out

@@cklambo Nah, it's just that Southgate is tactically inept

for some reason Southgate isnt connecting or favouring him..he seems to be frozen out of the team..crazy..as he would run that left wing

@@cklambo Gordon is intelligent and articulate, maybe that's a threat? either way these players deserve a manager and coaching that utilises their talent not hold it back

It took that comment to make you realize something is wrong with him?

He gave a very good explanation for what he did and in the end made the subs that won us the match

​@SimonFlynn-un1ur All the changes that have been made throughout the matches were all after gis tactics didn't work. Hail marys and last ditch attempts when his hamd was forced in reaction. To say it was HIS subs as though that was his tactical plan is completely disingenuous how they came about. He's won 1 game out of 5 in 90 mins as the supposed favourites with our bookies. There's only so much you can do by performing poorly and winning games before being found out. Fans, pundits, current and ex players, home and abroad have all pointed out the obvious tactical errors. And again, he only changed when his hand has been forced. The fact is we have been getting through on moments from individuals, not because of SG's set up, that is evidential. Being a defensive minded coach is fine, but experimenting in a tournament, being indecisive, being reactive not proactive, is the glaring deficiancies of his mamagement that is standing out. We have scraped through to another semi final from indivifual play yet again, despite of SG, not because of. The argument of SG takingvus to us to semis and a final os also disingenuous and lacks all context. We've seen better performing England teams before who weren't favourites, go out earlier playing better football - BUT against World Class oppostion in earlier rounds. SG has never faced a comparitive fixture in the early rounds, never. When we have met them down the line (and no where near as good as by the way like 98 Argies), we've lost.

@Allegro_Giusto remind me who beat Italy home and away in qualifying. Remind me who beat Germany 2-0 in the last euros? Oh wait anyone england beat suddenly becomes rubbish because we can't bear to give Southgate any credit. Can you not see that you have a belief about Southgate and anything he does now you will see the negative side of. The fact is he changed it and we got back into the game. And 3 of the people he brought on scored penalties. It is so east after the event to say well he should have changed it before they scored. Didn't look to me like they were going to score.

@@SimonFlynn-un1ur it’s not about Southgate predicting that they were going to score, it’s the fact we weren’t playing well and we needed to change something. We hadn’t had a shot on target until Saka scored. I don’t think it’s wrong to expect him to make a change before 75 minutes when we haven’t shown anything close to a goal. But again, it’s because Southgate thinks we are playing well and so he keeps it the same and then reacts to the goal. That’s wrong and it’s delusional, and it’ll catch up to him like it always does.

@@SimonFlynn-un1ur bringing on specialist penalty takers for penalties isn’t impressive. I suppose you think bringing on Rashford and Sancho in the 120th minute back in 2020 was also a good idea?

Bellingham looks poor as well-not even sure what his position is

@@burlhorse61 The problem is Foden and Bellingham just stand on top of each other and they want to play the same way. It’s sooooo ridiculous. Plus you have Kane Foden and Bellingham all dropping deep to get the ball and the only one running in behind is Saka. Southgate has the footballing iq of a frozen dinner.

@@burlhorse61Bellingham has performed better than Foden, therefore Foden must be dropped. It’s that simple. Kane should also be dropped.

@DB-07 Foden has never done a thing for England, shouldn't even be in the squad

@@rLxJake - Spot on, it's Bellingham or Foden, you can't play both. Southgate has always done this, overload the team with false 10s in the belief he's filling a midfield berth. In fact at one point I think he was playing Deli Ali plus two Deli Ali clones. Can't remember names, one of them was a Man U lad. May as well tie their laces together and throw a pantomime horse costume over them. Foden is worth a look for his club form but clearly he doesn't outshine Bellingham. I did think he (Foden) looked a little lost without his South American and Spanish club mates around him but on reflection it's Southgate's fault. He (Southgate) primes the team with pedantic, negative instructions instead of setting up to play their own game. This is evident at the start of games when players of Declan Rice's ability are playing 'to-me-to-you' balls with no purpose whatsoever - just zipping it back and forth along a straight line. It's the footballing equivalent of slamming on the brakes when you see an oncoming car in the distance. That's Southgate through and through. It's alien to Rice; he's looking to make progressive triangles and zig-zags - not have his own pass shoved back down his throat. This is why he's often caught on his heels in receipt of a pass. Always in danger of being caught in possession - for no purpose. Other than the pedantic instruction of pedestrian training ground drills. It's Southgate. Why is Southgate there? He's the FA's absolute dry dream of a dust curator. Some people half-joke about replacing Southgate with Big Sam. I credit them that they know Sam would be an improvement - just that the FA would never act so boldly. Sam managed England for one game before being thrown out on the basis of a journalist cash bung sting. We won 1-0. Sam is peerless in terms of statistic averages. I recall Sam's press announcement before that game: "If they're good enough to be selected for international honours, they shouldn't need a lot of coaching. I'll tell them to play their own game within a simple remit of going wide when in possession and narrow when out of possession." The current players are good enough, they don't need their heads filling with Southgate's anxieties about tapping the brake pedal whenever an opposition player looks at them. And I agree that Saka has shown something in every game despite Southgate's stunting tactics.

Clever.

Totally agree. This tippy tappy backwards sideways nonsense is infuriating

Yes

Said that about Switzerland yet here we are.

to win is the most important not to play exiting football

Weren't Switzerland better than Brazil 70? That's what the media and some England fans were saying before the game. It's about winning.

@@England-fan01england were expected to beat Switzerland

Speaking as a decorator I can assure you that watching paint dry is infinitely more interesting than watching England

We ALL know that should happen. The Hapless Southgate wont do it.

Kane was too busy making tackles inside our own box

So what you're looking for is perfection right? Win everything. Hmm oh wait that's not real life

@@matthewellison5492 not everyone is perfect but southgate has learned nothing from past tournaments and bottled matches he should’ve had no problems winning

we need someone to do him in training!! wouldnt put it past Jude 🤣

Yes he’s flat

Portugal drew every game in 2016 and won it

Yes and the pundits one minute saying the Swiss are very good but then they were bad vs England. So either we were also bad or the Swiss were good which one is it 😂

World class players with no goals 😂😂😂

I wouldn't care because I have money on England from the beginning

😂

Like France and Portugal?

Mainoo Bellingham and rice in the middle? Or Gordon?

Yea totally let's play all 26 players in our squad 😂 Gordon is honestly the worst winger we have in the team yet people seem to think he's what we need😂 but let me query you, if Southgate had started the tournament with Gordon, Watkins and Kane and Foden on the bench would you have agreed with that decision? I have a feeling you'd be saying where's Kane! Stupid manager blah blah.

No you’re right I wouldn’t but they are the changes that need to be made as the others Arnt performing . I agreed with it until after the first game and definitely the second. Since then he’s persisted with underperforming players for 5 games! 😂

Nothing wrong with making as many changes as you need. There’s a squad of 23 players for a good reason

What’s the point tho you should be winning in style

Try ask Iniesta to play park the bus/kick and rush football and blame him for not playing well. Try keep feeding long ball to Messi’s head and blame him for not capable to out muscle the defenders. Foden and Palmer are two of the most Spanish/talented players England have. And England ruined it with an oversimplified and conservative tactics.

He wouldnt ​@@thierryhenry674

@thierryhenry674 I thought Thierry Henry would know ball but you clearly don't. Wait till De Bryne runs off to Saudi, you'll see how average Foden is

​@@thierryhenry674 so why does palmer look so much more useful?

@@chrisdickens4268good point

Why should Kane do it? Southgate is getting paid an awful lot of money to make calls like this. He should take him off, but he doesn't have the guts, just like he didn't have the guts to take Foden off either.

Southgate should be using the subs more anyway, if he used them more often no one would bat an eyelid who went off when.

Valid point.

And what are Newcastle then your team get some Help 😂

Southgate, would turn the United job down...he's not desparate!
