Is that a job when he doesn’t use the information from the games to inform his selections ? Sounds more like a free ticket.

I was surprised to see Southgate in the crowd at Man C and Burnley yesterday. I thought he has said he doesn’t pick players on form, so why watch the games ? Great that Maguire put in such a good performance at Turf Moor though.

:) Tranmere AND the Albion thank you very much

Really ? I am astounded. I really enjoyed that game.

I think that’s fair enough tbh. Dunk brilliant as well.

Are we seeing a Southgate plan B ? One touch passing at the back orchestrated by Lewis Dunk and incisive breaks forward…the Brighton way.

That’s because it isn’t a friendly! It’s against Scotland

That’s proper booing of a national anthem ! Fair play to the sweaties !!!!

Yes, I’m admitting to being a glory hunting England supporter. I don’t have room to support another team in the same way as I support Brighton. I will jump on the bandwagon if there’s any England glory to be had and I really enjoy the big tournament games but I would watch Brighton regardless of...

But most England ‘fans’ are only really interested if we do well/reach later stages of a tournament. When people talk about the whole country getting behind Southgate’s team in the Euros it was us glory hunters they are talking about. I’m not going to sit through shite England performances in...

Fair enough. In my defence I have HA on ignore basis his weird and unpleasant posts on a range of subjects.

OK, fair enough and thanks for taking the time to reply. I suppose I don’t really know people’s motivations for what they say. Personally I haven’t made any comments about Southgate other than to say he seems like a nice bloke. I have sometimes wondered how much his penalty miss in 96 has...

Here we go again. Why do you get aggressive when people disagree with you ? Why do you criticize my job ? Do I now get the rest of the WhatsApp group one by one dropping in for a dig like last time ?

There’s lies, there’s damned lies and there’s statistics ! The internet is full of people assertively claiming opinion as fact.

You’ve missed the point. Many people are simply expressing the view that they don’t like his team selections nor his style of play. You are choosing to address (aggressively) only those handful of people talking about his results.

I don’t think they will have that conversation. There are times when players that coaches are reluctant to play still step in because of injury or suspension. Dunk would be daft to pass up that faint possibility and doesn’t come across as a diva.

I’m not sure appointing Mourinho would address people’s concerns over Southgate.

Yes, but not because ‘we are England.’ It’s because of the playing resources that are available and their mismanagement by Southgate.

You are opposing something that doesn’t exist. Where are you seeing this ‘entitlement from land of hope and glory.’ You are the only one that has mentioned it. People are just saying they don’t enjoy watching England under this manager and they would LIKE a different one.

If Big Sam was still the manager and England played like they did yesterday then those currently defending Southgate would be on the opposite side of the debate. * Yes, Southgate seems like a nice bloke but that doesn’t make him a progressive football manager. *clearly Southgate fans are a...
