Can anyone who defends Southgate give me any valid defence anymore
No goals in 9 and a half hours, relegated from the group, attacking talent being wasted, no tactical fluidity..
Mark my words if we do scrape through the group stages due to a piss poor group we will be out in the first...
Even now, 1-0 down at home… not a sniff of an aggressive tactical change. It’s so frustrating, how can you make it as a professional football manager with such little tactical knowledge and flexibility? :facepalm:
Kane is always in the wrong place at the wrong time when he plays for England yet with Spurs he’s always on the end of stuff, feel like he’s played more like a winger in this game.
Is that Keown** on the commentary? Can’t tell… Never heard such drivel, I’m guessing he’s an old pal of Southgate...
One of the worst halves of football quality wise I’ve seen in a long time, and that’s both sides. Germany look dreadful.
Honestly the vibe I’m getting is similar to the end of Hughtons reign, the fans have given up and the players look bored themselves.
Aaaaaanddddddd our only defender who can pass a ball has done his ham string :facepalm:
He doesn’t even use that as a chance to experiment and mix the tactics up, Walker on… what an exciting tactical move.
Watch Sterling and Foden carefully when Germany have the ball, they are totally clueless what to do, that simply has to come down to bad coaching or bad direction because they manage to press fine at their clubs.
Not bothered about England being shit really, it’s hardly new. We’ve been held back for years by dinosaur managers and lucked our way through a few tournaments playing dire football with unbelievable draws.
We’ve got probably the best crop of attacking young talent we’ve had in a long time and...
The style of play Southgate tries to get England to play is excessively boring but for me it’s tactically mindless, how can you play a back 5 without all 3 centre halves AND goalkeeper being comfortable on the ball, the entire way that system works is having ball playing defenders who are happy...
