    To be perfectly honest iv not been entertained by England since Euro 96!! And im not joking.....

    Funny how the passage of time affects the mind???.
    In Euro 96 we were awful against Switzerland in the opening game, average against the Scots and got the rub of the green with the missed penalty, unbelievably good against a very good Dutch side, against Spain if it were played today we?d have probably lost as they had a couple of disallowed goals for tight offsides, and another glorious defeat against a German side that should have been despatched long before extra time. Usual fayre I?d say. That side was entertaining when it clicked though but to be honest given nothing since 66 I don?t give a monkeys as long as we win. We?ve had our moments in many tournaments since 96 too.

    He?s done a fantastic job at building a good attitude and harmony in the squad, giving it a more club-like feel rather than a bunch of individuals like the old England squads. Unfortunately he is very, very poor tactically. We?ve seen this time and time again when it comes to important crunch matches deep into tournaments but now we?re even seeing it in the tournament group stages against Serbia and Denmark. We do not have a working press, our line of engagement begins when the opposition are 20 yards into our half, it?s absolutely shocking. We had a right back in midfield which he says is an experiment. Said right back has no targets to hit with his admittedly excellent passing range bar Saka. We then bring on Watkins, Eze and Bowen, players who could benefit from Trent?s passing and we take Trent off. We have Rice playing as a strict anchor man like he?s Makelele - he isn?t an anchor man, he is best running forward from midfield like more of an 8 which is what he does for Arsenal. We have Foden on the left who isn?t ever going to stretch play there because he wants to be central, occupying the same space Kane wants to occupy because Kane is a deep-lying forward. We have a right footed left back who has no intention of overlapping - if you?re going to use Foden on the left, you need a left footed full back overlapping.

    It?s absolutely abysmal all round. Denmark had us absolutely sussed tactically. I?ve supported Southgate and thought he deserved one more chance but he is blowing it with his negative tactics and mindset. The Kalvin Phillips quote is an absolute belter. He?s quickly unravelling and saying stupid sh** in interviews when previously he?s been very logical and measured. We?ll probably nick a win on Tuesday and go out to first half decent team we play.

    Well said and absolutely spot on. Mirrors my views exactly. This going to be a totally wasted opportunity. Again.
    I agree regarding Southgate being a tactical spaz but also think the players aren?t above reproach either. Yes the system is a joke and players are out of position but energy, physicality and desire (three characteristics any football team can employ regardless of ability) are absent. Only player so far who can hold his head up is Guehi, and possibly Saka.
    Like you I?ve previously given Southgate the benefit of the doubt to an extent but if I had my way I?d sack him now mid tournament and bring Warnock in. 😉

    Was never impressed with the 3 year deal for grigg especially for a forward with no pace , lets see how he fares in the real league not the tin pit one we have thankfully got out of.

    Laughable. Truly incredible.
