avfc1982am Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Southgate is just a bottle job. He's literally on the toilet from here on in, shitting it. I expect very little from England once we're in the knockout stages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellingham is a very good midfielder in that free role - I think he can do very well there - he's not a natural six by any means. You sure?

Senegal last 16? probably France or Argentina in the quarters? probably Croatia/Belgium or Portugal in the semis (maybe Germany)? Poland to get a draw tomorrow, and it will likely be Poland in quarters. I don't like Southgate, but he got results in big tournaments. But the luck he has with the draws has been absolutely unbelievable. The luckiest man on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 BBC at it again What England have achieved under Southgate is something special.... If we did the unthinkable tonight and went out he'd still be there in 2024, going absolutely nowhere, him or us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern defenders generally don’t struggle that much with pace, unless it’s absolutely electric and combined with real skill (a la Mbappe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I would love to know what the players really think of his tactics? I think some of them especially the young lads probably think he is a ****. I mean he is not the most street wise of people is he. I don't even know him and can see right through his bullshit. I.e "I don't like the media talking up the players, the pressure can get too much for them". On Foden. He plays for Man City argubly the best team in the world, playing for England with Safegate at the helm ain't gonna faze him???? Most of these multi millionaire players live in a bubble where by they all think they are great, I doubt pressure these days is much of a problem.
