One thing you can guarantee, we would have shat ourselves and sat deep all game if it had been us playing. Take the game to a decent team like Hungary did? You are in for a massive disappointment if you think we’ll play like that if we get through our group and end up playing France down the...
Along with most on this thread I am putting last night down to the manager’s tactics and how outthought and outfought we were by Scotland for most of the game.
Question is - are you 100% certain that with the right manager this is a talented bunch of players that could be genuine challengers...
Impressive stats, how many of those goals were against top teams? I know that a VERY small percentage were against decent teams in meaningful matches for England
NO! My loyalties are with the Albion over England but we would be genuine challengers with GP at the helm for England, guaranteed
Has to be said, full credit to Scotland, the better team on the night.
I gave credit to Southgate for the Croatia result but tonight was proof, to me, that we have a manager who is tactically clueless. He needs the sack when we go out to the first decent team we meet in the knockout rounds. Clown
Of course I do, we fail because we haven’t got the players, England are failing because the manager is a clown with no tactical acumen
Both do great PR though
