delboy54 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Well how is any "new" England player supposed to get international experience if the current idiot manager of England continues to play the same bunch of has beens and out of form players?...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted June 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2023 Just another excuse from Southgate. Next year it will that conference league experience isn’t real European experience. Let alone he selects a player who has the bench permanently tattooed on his backside this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 7 hours ago, Adam2003 said: I think it’s bad writing and just Dunk is injured, but might be wrong. Also reads oddly that Southgate says Mings doesn’t have experience of international football when he has 17 caps including starting games in the Euros, but I guess he admittedly doesn’t have the European experience yet. He has selected Philips and Mount when they had zero international/European playing in the championship. Toney, Wilson, Eze and Guehi don't have any European or international experience between them either. Southgate has his favourites but is too spineless to say so to the media. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 It's amazing Southgate is still Coach of England. Useless manager with brilliant players. Has done better than bad managers with average players. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contradictive, spineless jobsworth who did nothing at club level and fell into the position because he's a yes man. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalvin Philips is a never been who doesn’t even play club football I’ll never forget how Jack got continually overlooked as a Villa player in incredible form. Absolutely laughable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Seems like a throughly decent bloke who has done the right thing in praising so diversity and protecting the likes of Saka. As a coach?! The ultimate yes man and a terrible appointment. Never had greater opportunities to win big but so tactically inept he failed again and again. Sucked the life of any minute interest I had in watching England play. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy7211 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 You just know he's going to play two holding midfielders against the might of Malta and North Macedonia. And the fullbacks will only be permitted over the halfway line twice in the entire game. Dull and uninspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Very poor England manager. Has done nothing to change the culture beyond be nicer to the media. The players are now a group of mostly nice people instead of the likes of John Terry and Steven Gerrard. We'll never have a better chance than 2021. Should be contending at 2024.

He did well for us for many seasons before it got difficult after the cup final. Even then he wanted to go to Chelsea, we refused and he played out his final season pretty professionally. Then went to Boro and won the league cup like he did here. As manager I think we all know he's in the end game with England now. Needs to get to the final of next euros otherwise contract shouldn't be renewed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lo and behold looks alright again when back with Ehiogu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
