Needs to tone it down a bit. Edited June 30 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not handling the attention and spotlight on him too great, unfortunately. Aye, him scoring yet another high pressure clutch goal this season, a last minute overhead kick that single-handedly kept us in the tournament suggests that the spotlight and pressure isn't for him.

Understandable feeling for any football fan, I reckon. There were times that I wanted Benfica to lose, because I thought that in the long term it would be best. When you have a terrible manager you just want him to get sacked, instead of having small pockets of air that will just delay it, and possibly when it happens is already too late to fix the season.

It's just the way he carries himself at times on the pitch. As soon as the bad result comes, especially as he hasn't actually been playing that great, you'll see.

I get that sentiment but it's a mad mindset in a once every 4 years tournament in which the manager is almost certainly leaving anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Southgate and England used their get out of jail free card, tonight. Got to feel for Slovakia, undone by a moment of class, in an insipid England performance. Worst thing is - Southgate will line us up the same way v the Swiss, next Saturday. You just know it.

midds Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Just now, Vinny Green Balls said: Switzerland is a couple orders of magnitude better than Slovakia though Agreed. They've got the organisation and quality to go through fairly comfortably. England are winging it but the Swiss are sailing through their games.

LionOfGosforth Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 It'd be nice to think that this mess this can be sorted out and a real plan drawn up to beat the Swiss and actually look decent for once while doing it but all the evidence so far suggests that GS does not learn, continually plays in a way that just doesn't really work, and ignores the fact it's unbalanced and disjointed and boring to watch and we're incredibly lucky to get to the QF. Tournaments are notoriously difficult for changing personnel, tactics and mentality from game to game but if the obvious changes haven't yet been made, hard to see it happening now. Same again for Saturday i'd think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I see the Southgate fans identifying the biggest fluke of a win there ever was as a hard fought epic masterclass of some sort. Honestly, they deserve each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Pretty absurd result in the end. Would've never seen that coming when the game ticked into the 80th minute and we'd made one substitution. Walker as poor as last game. Foden as poor as the previous three games and still can't stay onside. Trippier seemingly crocked and has screwed Guehi (going to be a huge miss) out of a Semi Final. Kane and Bellingham once again anonymous for large large parts of the 90 minutes. We won but I really don't see any way we can be confident about a win against Switzerland. Feels like we'll get turned over comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
