Against 3 other teams with abysmal World Cup records. 9 points available and 4 usually enough. You know what my point was. Don't try and be clever. I said it wouldn't surprise me if we failed to get out of the group. You implied, with your silly comment, I was being ridiculous. We didn't beat the USA in 2014. And beating Wales is no certainty, imo. That's my point. As well you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"But he got us to a semifinal/final" is Southgate's version of "but he got us to a playoff final". The thing is if your squad is ridiculously good you can win a tournament even if you’re an awful manager. Phil Scholari and Deschamps are great examples of this. Even that looney that managed France lost a World Cup final by penalties. England’s problem is they aren’t a ridiculously good squad. So that top manager could make all the difference.

He'd get the lads to bond and tell Jack and Foden to go and get some goals. Kane wouldn't be allowed into his own half and the others would just have to roll up wor sleeves etc. Edited June 11, 2022 by TheAuthority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django_Zooms Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Ex player. Villa made his playing career. Managed England u21s > Academy. Picked several Villa seniors for England.

penguin Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Southgate will end up at somewhere like Middlesbrough or Sheffield United once England have had enough and his media buddies will describe it as a massive coup. He'll then proceed to failure horribly and fade into obscurity, absolutely 0 chance he'll manage us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gerrard takes over after Klopp it means he has delivered at a high level here, and that I would assume would open the door to more established and reputable coaches.
