Wasting another brilliant generation of England players and we just shrug our shoulders and say he is who he is? He wasn't qualified nor good enough for the job in the first place. Think we could definitely attract some one better.

 

Yet he's taken us to a World Cup semi-final and a European Cup final, which we lost on penalties.

Who would replace him?

 

That "Golden generation" thing is a crock of shite as far as i'm concerned and has set us up with the worst mind set when it comes to our generations of players. 

I don't think there was a manager around at the time who could of got anything out of them regardless. I spent hours in front of the TV as a bairn hoping and dreaming, watching wankers like Rio, Terry, Lampard and the rest do jack shit in an England shirt and then turn up on the weekend to mass adulation in the domestic league.

 

I honestly hate almost every single England player that played for the team between 04-16, fairly talented bunch, heavily overrated and entirely flawed as individual characters and human beings.

 

This generation of players are streaks ahead in terms of talent, desire, fitness and professionalism.

 

Top 5 rankings, consistently competing and making it to the latter stages of tournaments and wining things like the nations league is exactly where this national team should be. Hey if they win something then that's a bonus.  

Rodgers, Howe, Potter? Be ambitious offer to Poch, Jose ? Any Premier League manager over Southgate tbh. I didnt say golden generation I said a great generation which it is with a lot of attacking flair and creativity being wasted by a dour negative manager. 1-0 up in a euro final in 5 minutes and didn't register another shot on target in 90 minutes.

Alan Pardew got us to 5th. He cost us the Euros final with his ridiculous negativity.

 

The point being that Southgate has performed well in two consecutive tournaments.

 

I agree he can be negative and he was tactically outclassed by Mancini, but that doesn't take away from the job he's done.

I think the England squad is mostly pure shite. I'm not sure if Southgate is performing miracles with overrated flops, or it's his fault for refusing to nurture talent beyond his favourites.

 

Ultimately, my attitude to the national team currently is apathy. Probably because of the boring shite on display. That is definitely Southgate's fault.

The England job was more than on-pitch stuff, it was a complete rebuild of a toxic brand and horrific culture. We didn’t just go for the best tactical manager we could find, the job was a different kind of task. 

Not sure I buy that. I'd take Gazza doing a dentist chair celebration on the pitch over this boring shite any day.

Really though? [emoji38]

 

Ok Southgates England are a bit bland, and even I agree that for whatever reason he is shackling some pretty good talent in that squad. But we've been to a semi and a final in the last major competitions, that's mint imo.

 

Don't care how we win something, just win something.

Fair enough, but being England manager was seen as impossible job and we were never going to beat anyone. We picked Sam Allardyce FFS.

Southgate should never have been employed as England manager in my opinion.  It wasn't long ago that we held on to a draw against Scotland.  The last World Cup saw us draw with mighty Colombia and beat that massive team Tunisia by the odd goal.  He's clueless!

We then went onto reach the final and semi-final of those tournaments. Clueless.

I mean I am not his biggest fan, and tbh I totally agree he fucked the Euros final. And is far too negative generally. 

 

But a semi final and a final in his last 2 attempts, I think he's earned the right to manage us for a few more games lads :lol:

You should want Southgate to be the manager for as long as possible if you're a Newcastle fan anyway, because Howe's name will definitely be in the mix.

Howe isn’t going to Engurland like, he’s too much of a hard grafter. Same way I wasn’t worried about Benitez taking the Spain job.

Howe is on record as saying it would be his ultimate job. 

 

Thankfully he also said it would be something he'd want to do much later on because he enjoys being able to do regular coaching too much.

Why ? He had a great opportunity to win a final and his decisions in that game proved he isn't good enough and cost us. If we want to win a final we need some one with better in game management.

Ah really? Wasn’t aware of that like. But aye, good news that it’s later in his career that he’s looking at.
