what a role model. imagine if he was your big brother. my bairns love him. who the hell was he at everton?

i've still got some of those old "self help" mags hidden away somewhere. classics.

"he sits when he pees, he sits when he pees. gareth southgate, he sits when he pees"

southgate and eddie - night and day.

good job, otherwise could see the frstration rising in him and the "old anthony" coming out in a rage.

think his most ardent fans will now be realising southgate's a fraud.

so he's away from her and not getting a game off southgate. what a fucking summer for this kid.

him and cole palmer must be fucking seething. at least he'll come back refreshed, raging and raring to go and to prove southgate wrong.

fuck me. did this guy really say out loud in public that we need a Kalvin Phillips replacement!!!!! fucking clueless. oh yeah but he's a nice guy and good at bonding and shit.

ok fair enough. he seems a decent fella and a good man manager. but he's inept tactically. think the rage is from that italy final... he did absolutely nothing to to try and win it. and admitted he was more worried about losing it.

stubborn man, that southgate fella. has to prove he won't be affected by any criticism. i've an unnatural hate for him.

def chris waugh Mikel Antia (First-Team Coach) Benitez is renowned for returning to players and coaching staff who have served him well in the past - he appointed Boudewijn Zenden at Chelsea and retained former assistant Pako Ayestaran’s services for 11 years - and he has done likewise with Antia. And, though his surname may simply be an anagram of Vurnon Anita, no he is not a relative of United’s Dutch midfielder. While Benitez was manager of Real Madrid’s ‘B’ side in the early-1990s - and even before that during his work with the academy - Antia was a reliable centre-back.

lee ryder i think. sure it was vurnon anita and mikel antia the coach?

if he's good enough for dortmund - he's good enough for us.

its the store , not adidas.

never gets old that one. was it Lee or one of the other divvies?

you said eddie make the same changes no matter what is happening on the pitch. but then you say "unless such and such happens". and what you said about eddie and foden. come on, thats not true at all.

first bit of that is often true - we have a game plan and its often like for like attacking subs to give us some fresh impetus and to give the opposition something to think about. but that second bit isnt at all. eddie would have changed both wingers yesterday and replaced them with fresh legs and pace. saka was only fit enough for 45 minututes so either should have been replaced at half time or not started and brought on in the second half if we were struggling.

hope so . but 3. they'd been drilled to play that way. second nature to them. 4. its taken him 6 years and we are using the same formula.

stuart pearce called for him to subbed for eze after 29 minutes

luckily it will be years before we find out.

a little but also about being played out of position

i get that but its more that we didnt even try to put the game to bed. we have a squad full of quality. and thats what its been like for 6 years. croatia, italy, and even france .... southgate didnt really go for it. the games you listed, the coaches werent sitting back trying to grind out a win or a draw.

eddie often gets criticiscm for his subs, but more often than not he'll replace the forwards to give us a "second wind". southgate take note.

i was agreeing with you.
