It doesn’t look good going into the World Cup, but can’t see the FA doing anything beforehand. There would be too much outrage after him getting us further than other coaches have. If we don’t do well, hopefully that will allow some critical analysis of his position. He’s a great man manager, but is tactically poor, as is evident when he has faced sides of equal or better quality.
Watching England is boring that’s what happens when you have a defender as manager sooner not loose that score goals it seams to me.

If Southgate thinks that was “A step in the right direction” then he’s deluded!

Didn’t watch it. Based on previous matches over the last few years though, it looks to me like he took England as far as he could a long time ago. There was definitely a need to shore up before he came in but his outlook and tactics can only stretch so far and neglects the potential of the attacking players talents.

One other team not to score a non penalty goal in 22/23 is San Marino.

We have a really talented squad of players including really good midfield players and attackers yet we continually play with the hand brake on, it seems to me anyway. It would be nice just to go out and have a proper go at teams from the off, the only time we looked full of intent and purpose was after we went a goal down. Just let them off the leash Gareth and give the fans some entertainment.

Southgate is playing football the FA way. The defensive shite is peddled at FA coaching schools.
That’s why we also play shite football. The only way to rid us of Southgate is to target those faceless imbeciles within the FA.

“Vanilla” Southgate.
Said it three years ago… wasting the best crop of young players we’ve had for a while.
Look at the England Lionesses: they dont muck about doing tippy tappy triangles in their own half, nor do they stop attacking even 5-0 up, let alone 1-0.How Scunthorpe United like was that last night?
Tappy-lapping around, concede two goals because your CB isn’t concentrating. Get back in it, go ahead, then concede another soft goal after a goalkeeping howler.
Taft could get a call up on that showing! 😂

Southgate insists on playing Maguire when it’s clear he’s out of form and confidence shot. It’s mad.

Maguire did well by his standards he passed the ball to the opposition and then tripped him up giving away a penalty. Only did it one though mind !
Southgate needs binning off.

Players know their own game, their strengths and how to best exploit them, they do it every week. If they are asked to do something different when playing for their country then it should be no surprise if they appear below par.
No comparison I know but we’ve seen similar at GP over recent seasons, square pegs and all that.1 user thanked author for this post.
You could tell in the last few games they were under instruction (except Maguire who was probably told ‘you can play just don’t knock anything over’) Kane looked lost and got deeper and deeper. Really dull but you can see the talent is there when we attack its just that Gareth doesn’t like to attack very often. It will be a frustrating WC
