Southgate has the look of a man completely confused as to why it's not working. It's why everyone knew all he'd do is replace Trent with Gallagher and hey presto, thought that would make a difference. The game has evolved quite a bit tactically since just playing rigid 4-2-3-1 worked for most and you could just shove 2 DMs into the team and it functioned. The structure of this team is all wrong, lopsided, lacking balance and confidence. Players look like they're being told to be safety-first and not try anything too risky.

Yep.  The arrogance of the man is phenomenal.  ‘Nothing wrong with my system, obviously.  Just need to find the randomly correct individual and all shall click.  They’ll see’

Someone at work said today he’s the type of person that switches on battery saving mode when his phones on 99%

When Southgate really has his back to the wall, and he's absolutely forced to use Gordon or Palmer... if they save his bacon in the scant time they have, he will be lauded by his cheerleaders for his nous. :lol: Life is a stacked deck.

There was a bloke who used to sit behind me at SJP who would be quiet for most of the game, and whose only contribution to the noise would be to occasionally shout ‘FUKKIN MOOOOVE MAN’

 

England could sorely use that man’s wise counsel in Germany 

That bloke is at every ground I've ever been to 😂
