I think Southgate has overcomplicated whatever plan he had.
Net result is a confusing, negative mess.
When he put three fast players on at once it was as if he was giving up on his primary strategy.
It was desperate.
We look so far off being serious contenders
To win this tournament you need to...
Several years ago one of Oxford United’s junior players scored the winner in a vital cup shoot out.
The radio oxford commentator said:
“90 pounds a week, they pay him…..they’ll have to give him a pay rise”.
Maybe not up there with the best of Motson but it always stuck in my head.
Maybe he had been given the nod for the England job but couldn’t say no when Leicester came knocking despite steering away from the higher-placed club in the city where he lives. 🤨
Cooper anyway, apparently.
The club lost leave of its senses when Lallana left.
I wonder what they‘ve got planned for Welbeck who is a nice chap AND consistently contributed on the pitch.
Or to go up several more levels…..what about when Dunk leaves?
