It was always shocking when we had players like gerrard, lampard, terry, beckham, rooney, ferdinand, cole and others, and never seemed to perform

On paper we should have won more than just the solitary World Cup .
I think the players are more likely to perform for their respective club than country .
Yesterdayās performance was so pedestrian it was like watching oldāfarts walking football .
Thereās no drive forward, no vision in midfield.
Kane has been made a semi sort of scapegoat but in reality where was the midfield?
We wait for Tuesday run out ā¦ā¦.

Itās no surprise we win nothing when we appoint brain dead fuck wits like Southgate to manage us. He just has them playing with the hand brake on and heās actually got a pretty good squad to choose from.
Personally Iād rather see Wenger come out of retirement with Pat Rice as his assistant to manage them.

Southgate isnāt the answer , probably the same as Arteta to an extent.
Southgate is a manufactured manager from the bowels of the FA

I think they did that with Roy Hodgson after the 2014 world cup and what a disaster that turned out to be.

The World Cup was horrible I have absolutely no idea how Roy was kept on after it. He was incredible at what he was good at but making the step up he was clueless.
Someone shared the highlights of that Iceland game the other day, its remarkable the talent difference between 2016 and now. There was not one creative player in the entire squad who could unlock a stubborn defence.

The problem is that Southgate looked like a genius on the surface for the 2018 WC after the disaster in 2016. Despite the obvious failings at the World Cup, it was not really possible for the FA to sack a man who took them to their first WC semi final since 1990 and only their third appearance there ever.
I understood keeping him on them, even if I think heās shit. But right now there are so many clear and obvious failings in his approach itās astonishing that theyāre considering keeping him.
Ok, hands up. Whoās at potential risk of missing the entire first half on Tuesday due to work?
Not me I am on A/L this week

I shall be sitting on my sofa all day singing Three Lions, with small intervals for work up until 4pm at the latest when the intervals for work will become non existent.

Why does England prefer Three Lions to World in Motion?
Because the best part of World In Motion is the rap. And only a few of us talented folk can rap. Whereas any Tom, Dick or Harry can scream Three Lions.
