I love Messi, but there’s few things that disgusts me as much as the rest of the Argentinian players. There’s no grace to any of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be missing pens unfortunately. People hate to admit how much elite sport comes down to luck and variance. We need a scapegoat like Kane. Or to blame Southgate for somehow being out-coached. Whilst simultaneously also being in charge of the better team on the night. But then not really looking at the incidents that come down to about six inches (Al Pacino - Any Given Sunday). It is what it is. I like this England team and I think we played well. Unlike the Croatia and Italy defeats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 4 minutes ago, Stifler said: His performance of manager is deceiving. We got to a semi-final and final by the luck of the draw. Both times we lost as soon as we came up against a decent team, in fact in the World Cup we lost to Belgium in the group stages. Anytime we play someone decent we lose, even the Nations League shows this. He should be sacked as he’s not good enough, but aside from Howe, who do we actually have who can manage England? Under Southgate we've reached a World Cup semi-final and were European Cup runners up by virtue of a penalty shootout. He's one of our most successful managers of all time. If someone who can progress the side is available so be it, ask him to step aside, but he should not be sacked after a defeat to the reining world champions by the narrowest of margins.

RobsonsWonderland Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) I just feel in a world cup of 5 subs we massively underused our squad. Rather then hold back and save energy we could have put teams to the sword for a full 90 mins. Maddison, grealish, Rashford Gallagher, Wilson and more all there in our tool box Edited December 10, 2022 by RobsonsWonderland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Imo Southgate should go because you’re lacking the final push to lift the trophy. He’s an amazing body of work and a great man; simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hernandez has something similar with Saka and it flashes wide. Makes it even more frustrating mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is though like I said he got there because of the luck of the draw. If previous England managers got those draws we would have got as far or further. If a better manager got those draws then we would probably have went further. If we got those tough teams earlier would we have went out? Well the evidence says we would. Like I said even in the World Cup we got beaten by Belgium, but got through because it was the group dragged, then lost again to them in the 3rd play off place.

Cronky Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I've watched quite a few England exits from major championships, and I'm usually frustrated at our performance, but on this occasion I feel we gave our best and were just unlucky. It was an even game, and we matched a top side. The first French goal should not have stood and we should have had another penalty of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all the attacking play was coming via Saka, he was causing France problems constantly. He should have been the last player to be subbed off.
