He hardly played last year and when he did he came off the bench

Incidentally how would you rate Declan Rice's Euro's performance? In my opinion he went missing every game

it's what happens when you play people out of position who are playing with people also out of position.

Southgate should have dropped half the big names in the squad freeing those who were left to play in the positions they are best suited to. Harry Kane shouldn't even have made the squad let alone play every game

i doubt Klopp makes a good national team manager



that is a whole lot different than coaching a club



same that Guardiola wouldn't be a good manager for Spain


or Cannavaro as a manager for Italy, wouldn't work either


or Zidane with France wouldn't work either



-----
Christophe Galtier and Lee Carsley would be the best choice now, an experienced manager with someone with the knowledge of the national youth teams as his right hand assistent, and i'd say approach someone like Taffarel as goalkeepers coach to work with Pickford to make him even better, and work on getting some great alternate options behind Pickford in case of a injury or absence for another reason or suspension

@Nicky.7 of the last 8 world cup winning managers made the transition from clubs to country as managers

Correct

MIA and misplaced passes

i actually thought that city would offload Grealish during this transfer window, they may still do it

The crazy thing is that by picking the same damn players each game and getting the same disappointing performance it must have been unbelievably frustrating for all the others

If he’d have stayed on as manager possibly some players may have made themselves unavailable like Ben White did

Walker had a good Euros and was named in the team of the tournament :shrug:

Trent is and always has been a defensive liability

Southgate has resigned!
 

Just watch TAA flourish at Real Madrid All Stars who are set to dominate football for the next decade ..

I can just see TAA sending those long , laser guided passes up to Mbappe and Vinicius


Interestingly my beloved Barca will be reliant on a team of youngsters under 23 plus Lewandowski and Gundogan

TAA is crap, how many goals did he let in at liverpool in recent times, thats why he was tried in midfield because he couldn't be relied on defensively

Philistine !

Kyle Walker is the best English right back of my lifetime.

I used to be undecided who was best between Gary Neville and Walker. But Walker made my mind up in this tournament and now makes my all time England XI

Southgate has resigned!
 

Agreed but like all others he has had a poor tournament

You could argue that Walker was responsible for both Spain goals and two or three other wasted chances !!

He was seen by the players as a man they could go to, like a very friendly uncle.

That's no good. A manager has to be tough, almost feared by the players, so they have to play a good game.:shocked:

He was too soft.

All the white players played shite, apart from luke shaw.

You are forgetting Cold

Who?

If you mean palmer hes of Afro-Kittitian ethnicity from his fathers side.

All the black ethnicity linked players played well...apart from bellingham who's father is white british.

The good news is Southgate's gone finally, the bad news is Potter wants the job.

To all who ridiculed the hiring of say Lampard or Gerrard, how do you feel about Potter as England manager.

My opinion, he's not the most exciting, I just hope he brings some attacking football to the national squad.

I think in this day and age, for national football!

Us the public should pick the players for our nation, maybe in a ballot box type scenario. Those players should then get on with it themselves. With our backing of course.

Ive probably opened another can if worms for left and right to fight at the ballot box though, and depending on the way the political bias is towards at the time maybe some strange players playing for them.

Be good that for an experiment..

Potter, Lamps and Gerrard are all much off a muchness?

Thought they wanted Pep

i think potter is a better option than lampard. People forget he had brighton playing well and no manager could have coped at chelsea at that time

Tbf, weren't Kane joint leading goalscorer of the tournament?:laugh:
