Well, a WC semi-final and a Euro Final. That’s what we got. Our best performances in decades.Revert back????
Lol..... What is this we're currently getting then?
The attack isn’t threatening?
Yeah Kane, Foden, Sterling, Saka, Grealish, Mount, Bowen etc are poor.
...and which English national players are finishing those WB- created chances?Not to mention wing backs who out-produce most attacking players at club level.
...would be as asinine to suggest it is has nothing to do with Gary as it would be to suggest it has nothing to do with the players. Problem is you are one of those folks that only sees problems with Gary...and the ref conspiracies...and prolly UEFA conspiracies against England...but never the players being overrated.I’m sure this poor attack is nothing to do with the manager.
Could have fooled me.I don’t really give much of a fuck that they did ‘the double’ over us in the latest pointless competition.
As usual, Deuterz gets in his anti-English BS projection before he snuggles up into something warm and familiar. It's like an old pair of slippers to you by now isn't it Deuterz? See what I mean RealCoolYid ? It's always there.About as much of a fuck as I give about an American thinking English footballers are overrated.
Yeah, that post was just for my friend Deuterz 's benefit. He believes that since football is 'our game' that England has a natural right to win and anything less than that is due to conspiracy and unwarranted anti-English sentiment...or something other than the players aren't good enough.I'm pretty sure that 1953 Hungary were ranked #1 at the time, and Puskás played up front for them....
Last night was nothing of the kind!
England were either just shit, tired, lazy, couldn't be arsed, or all 4... one for each goal!
Don't you know that being anti-racist, pro LGBQT & women's rights is "woke", therefore "uncool" these days?Based on what? Supporting his footballers taking the knee as an anti racist gesture?
Load of shit. Being a normal human being is 'woke' now apparently.
So Kane stays fresh :contethumb:I see England exiting in the group stages and taking an early bath

Hey Deuterz, what you should be concerned with is that the guy that's schooled you on your own sport numbers of times is again telling you that you have something wrong. One of these days you'll come to your senses and recognize it earlyand then you wouldn't want to be out here using my arguments everytime KaneDomBadBoy gets you all spun up.

I think to say that Southgate should be doing better with an exceptionally talented group of players is kind of overrating the players a bit. Players looked knackered too, it's a harsh period to judge a manager on.
With Chilwell out, I don't think there's a high level left back. Not sure if any of the centre backs are top level in a back four, maybe Stones when he's in form. Lots of 8/10 midfielders, no creative tempo passer.
Your best bet for the world cup is keeping it tight like you have in previous tournaments, but you need more from those wingbacks. Grealish is England's best sub and should probably be used as such.
I'd like to see him try:
Pickford
James - Dier/Maguire - Stones
TAA - Rice - Phillips - Chilwell/Saka
Sterling - Kane - Foden
Wow Deuterz, you really can't control your anger can you? I thought you'd be above petty name calling. See? There are times where even I am wrong but I can admit it.Oh nobody cares Todd. Nobody else bothers to read your shit so I don't know why I do. I called you anti English because half your posts are hating on English players or fans, and you ran in here to rub in a defeat when people were sore.
Get over it. Go cry because you think Americans will be mistreated by Spurs fans and then tell me about projection, you tedious dickhead.
Woke....Don't you know that being anti-racist, pro LGBQT & women's rights is "woke", therefore "uncool" these days?
He's woke.
How is this news to you?
I'm not saying that it's a bad thing. He's socially progressive. The problem is that that's all he is. He's employed to be a football manager and he's shit at it.
B-b-but he led us to two decent positions in the last two tournaments. Technically yes, but anybody who understands anything about football will know that it was in spite of his tactics, not because of them.
This brings back horrible memories of the lead up to USA 1994.I'd imagine you're right on that front, but hypothetically, International management is probably the only situation in which you could replace the manager even with 0 games to go before the WC and it have negligible detriment to your chances.
But still, you're right, the FA won't rock the boat.
I meant they didn’t give a great performance against Ireland but did in the next game against ArmeniaI’m not sure Scotland being ‘at it’ makes a difference to their chance of winning.
Turgid, boring out of date football. Southgate is an absolute dinosaur of a manager. He is clueless and has no plan B.
Name me one Premier league club that would give him a job?
