My word. ya boi, finishing second in the group, beating Columbia on pens in the last 16, then sweden in the quarters......then losing to the first good team we come up against (Croatia), then losing to Belgium in the 3rd place playoff.........top job Southgate.... I think that semi run in 2018 was the most over hyped achievement in the history of world cups (probably), it proved literally nothing imo. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) 9 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: Never mind Grealish, this team is almost unwatchable - there's no imagination, no fluency, no shape, nothing. Modern football is all about attacking intent and moving the ball - this team are set up to desperately try to keep a clean sheet and hope for a penalty. It's abysmal. Indeed, look at the NHL, I'm not sure how many here watch, but the era of the thuggish enforcer slowing down the games with hits to waste time is over. Modern players are, for the most part, more technically drilled, atheletic and mobile, and with the available science and equipment available, achieve at higher levels than argubably ever before. Southgate has proven himself to be of an older mould. The defensive setup, bringing on defensive players to chase a 1-0 deficit is rank stupidity. There's not even a hint of real intuitive counter-attacking play. No urgency. The players are going through the motions, and I dread to think what the team talk is. This is the first time England have ever had two players sent off in a game. The lineup and tactics cost England the game before any whistle or cards came out. All the rubbish from pundits blaming Maguire miss the point. Edited October 14, 2020 by The_Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 It should never be forgotten that Gareth Southgate spent nearly 13 million on Afonso Alves and started the rot at Middlesbrough which continues to this day, they were a steady Premier League club when he took over. absolute clown 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 What would your best XI look like if they were all available and you can pick anyone not currently in the squad? Henderson AArnold ????? Mings Chilwell Barkley Henderson Maddison Sterling Kane Grealish far better side than tonight but its actually kind of hard to shoehorn all these CAM/Forward/Winger hybrids into an actual side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
