Be hillarious if he takes a high profile one and fails miserably. Not that any top 10 club would seriously appoint him mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Mind you I think palace would hire him they have a hard on for old woy. So Southgate with him being ex palace aswell.

Joelinton7 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Palmer gets called up after scoring a few penalties and Gordon gets completely ignored. Makes sense though when you realise Gordon plays a high intensity, pressing style whereas Southgate wants to bore everyone to tears with possession for the sake of it football, and completely waste every bit of talent this generation of players have.

Palmer has been really good this season so a bad comparison. I personally would pick Sterling over Gordon now also. He’s probably next in line after that but maybe Bowen also ahead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 These last two group games are meaningless and against weak opposition, every player in the squad should be fringe internationals to give the established ones a rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll get to the semis or finals of the euros again next summer and he will go down as englands 2nd most successful manager behind Ramsey He already is tbf even if we go out of the group P3, L3.

The former two are running on fumes plain as day. Give the young un's a run out. I still maintain from a footballing perspective Southgate has achieved the bare minimum acceptable level. Taken into account the wealth of talent available and the very favourable fixtures I don't think he's been impressive at all and we've generally failed the first time we've faced decent opposition. Biggest W is Germany at Home in the Euros. The next best result would be Colombia or Denmark. It's weak. In that time.. Italy, in a nadir generation, have beaten Spain, Belgium & England (a). France have beaten England, Argentina, Croatia, Uruguay, Belgium Even Belgium have beaten Portugal, Brazil and England twice in major tournaments in that time. And Martinez got a lot of stick for his performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Maximin Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 A bit tongue-in-cheek I admit, but if we talk about how well Southgate has done based on his record, we might as well be praising Bruce for comfortably keeping us up two years in a row.

brummie Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Good to see Ezri Konsa get called up, he's changed beyond all recognition under Emery, has been immaculate for ages now. Was always the junior partner next to Mings, but since that horrible injury has taken a lead role with Torres. Incidentally, Pau Torres is a fucking Rolls Royce of a footballer. Lacks a bit of pace, needs Konsa to dig him out at times, and still needs to fully adapt defensively, but his range of passing is absolutely mind blowing, and not just mind blowing for a centre half, it's excellent, full stop. Carries the ball forwards loads, absolutely key to how we play. Konsa does a lot to allow Torres to play. Going back to Konsa (and Mings, for that matter), it's amazing how a top level coach gets the best out of players - these are players that under Gerrard looked dejected and finished. Konsa was flirting with being on of those, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
