Failing to see the nuance of criticising certain failings whilst also appreciating the progress made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted Saturday at 22:59 Share Posted Saturday at 22:59 Having read that article, I read this book either about Euro88 or featuring it heavily first, think it was specifically about the fans - the English hooligans, the Danish rolligans and the ability of some to go home after the games where England fans were stuck there. Was reminded of it earlier in the tournament and was going to get a copy but cannot for the life of me remember what it was called or find anything in searching that looks like it could that.

WilliamPS Posted Sunday at 21:35 Share Posted Sunday at 21:35 Kane could still be great for England with runners beyond him. He’s scored a ludicrous amount this season. Playing him up top on his own with nobody getting past him and nobody stretching the play on the flanks is not going to work though - he’s too slow for that IMO harsh to blame the player for what are tactical errors made repeatedly.

LiquidAK Posted Sunday at 22:30 Share Posted Sunday at 22:30 (edited) The next iteration of this team should be quite exciting at least. I'm not sure who I would get in - the best English manager is Howe and I don't want him going anywhere. Potter maybe? Even that feels a little underwhelming. If we could get someone like Klopp even for a tournament that would be brilliant, as much as I find him annoying. Whoever it is has to be able to nit together a cohesive attack from some fantastic players to choose from: Gordon, Saka, Palmer, Foden, Bellingham are all young and brilliant. Kane is clearly on the turn, but I think he has one more tournament in him as long as you get pace running off him which is something we lacked this tournament. I've made my feelings on Southgate clear, he's done a fantastic job sorting out the culture of the England setup and has overall done a good job to get the finishes we have in tournaments, but to go that next step we need someone more capable tactically. Sad he couldn't get it over the line, he's built a lot of the foundation for success but it's really time for a fresh start now. If he stays on now it'll turn toxic so quickly, it's already happened over the last month. The pieces are there though for this group of players to continue challenging in the latter stages of tournaments for the next decade. I've come out of tonight obviously deflated but quite optimistic for the future - as long as we get the managerial appointment right.

I think you're being generous, I'd suggest he gets a goodbye appearance in a Wembley friendly soon and we move on ASAP. As long as he's available he's picked and whilst he'll always be good for a pen and the odd goal, it hurts us so much for most of the time he's on. It's like watching 2005/06 Shearer.
