9nly takes one to win a game and we haven't conceded in the last 6 games or so which is pretty good.

That was my twin, Skyler, who posted that. Ignore him, he's a helmet.
We are doing well in spite of him, not because of him.
He is riding the coattails of exceptional players.

Skyler?
Context?
I don't mean to be rude, but did you watch any of our CL games?
We were anything but what you've described. We absolutely did not make it to the CL final by being defensively solid and calm in possession.
Yes, that's his name. I blame him whenever I've talked shite.
I did see them yes. There was a progression in our champions League style of play across poch's tenure (granted the last run was an odd one). I remember Alex Ferguson having said the same thing about utd and the champions League...he had to adjust his tactics too....Southgate has done the same: gone from blood and thunder of previous regimes and going out in a blaze of glory to more calm, mathodical approach. There's always exceptions and I'm generalising but that is the gist of it....I was responding to claims of his tactical ineptitude.
We have incredible players who are able to overcome the tactical ineptitude of the manager.
Imagine this side with Bielsa.
you what?!
Capello and Hodgson being described as blood and thunder football is hilarious.
2010 World Cup we scored 3 goals in 2 games.
Euro 2012 we scored 5 in 4.
2014 World Cup scored 2 in 3
Euro 2016 scored 4 in 4.
Like, what exactly are you on about?
A blaze of glory. lol.
We've moved away from gung ho football that looks pretty and wins not very much. Southgate has taken us to a calmer place and used tactics to beat teams (sometimes it doesn't work sure). Tactical ineptitude would be what Jose did soooo many times where he wouldn't make changes we all saw were necessary after 15 mins.
I thing GS has done ok but I get it's not to your liking ...I didn't enjoy the game much yesterday at all but happy to win.
Bielsa is just as inept in an entirely opposite way to the way you claim GS is.
But the attitude from supporters was go out and smash em and they tried to bow to that.
Examples of tactical ineptitude...
He played Trippier, our best RB at LB whilst Luke Shaw, our best player last night, didn't play.
Trippier and Shaw were phenomenal in their correct positions last night.
He also once put Harry Kane on corners.

Mistakes happen sure.
Even im not his biggest fans but that's a cunt comment, we just beat Germany in the knockouts and kept a clean sheet, our 4th of the whole tournament, he deserves some recognition for that!
I would love to see him play more to our attacking strengths, but it seems to be working so far, so why change it?
what you smoking mate? Luke shaw our best player? Come on, Maguire was better than him, the keeper was better than him, Jack was better than him when he come on, im sure you are more of an expert than Gary in football, but maybe his tactics have been to qualify top of the group and beat Germany, which unless im dreaming we have?
Yes, we beat Germany because he brought on the player we've all been begging to start.
Tactical ineptitude.
You're mistaking tactics with results.
You've just said yourself Grealish changed the game. We all knew that would happen, we all know he should be starting.
