Fuckin class
Don't be silly.
He's transformed this team. A team that is so young it will get better, just like Spurs have done under Poch. It's early days but he's been ruthless with this squad so far.
My sort? Wtf?!
Impress who? You bunch of reprobates?!
You're having a mare, mate!
You drunk?

xG was Tunisia 0.1 (+1 pen) - England 3.1 - this was poor finishing by players not named Kane, not a poor performance overall. Southgate was fine, I don't think Kane's goals are papering over any massive cracks in the squad.Draw and everything said would've been differant. The result doesn't take away the poor performance, the lack of ideas and certainly doesmt make Southgate a tactical genius. Tunisia weren't good, England were poor, piss poor. England should always be able to pull out result agsinst a team as this or is everyone suggesting differant?

I mosied down to RAWK to see their impression. Henderson played a worldie.Henderson was bad but if you asked scousers on Twitter right now they are saying Henderson is world class and the best player at the tournament. The whole of scouser Twitter is slagging off Kane saying he shouldn’t be captain because in their own words “You need a translator to understand him”. This is coming from the inbreeds of Pool.
Maybe this is only me but if we dropped a small atomic bomb on Liverpool that was only contained to Liverpool, I wouldn’t mind it at all.
The absolute key word is identity. It's not there for the 90mins, the one big issue is when a team matches us up we've struggled but tonight despite the struggle we persevered, didn't go long ball pumping it into the box, we trusted the system and even after we made subs. I love that. Lot's of work to do but if we can put away just half of those chances we missed the game is done and dusted before it's even difficult.There are strong parallels with Pochettino, and not just the obvious Spurs presence in the team.
It reminds me of the time Pochettino culled the squad of negative influences, and went for inexperienced youth instead. Prior to that we were soulless...just a boring collective with no character whatsoever, just like many England teams over the years. Afterwards we had an identity again, and a sense of camaraderie between the players.
There’s echoes of that with Southgate’s England. I still think the last 8 would represent a good tournament for us, but for once I think that if / when we go out it won’t be for a lack of trying.
