That’s my one fear with the Southgate out movement
Who would replace him? GP is a natural England manager one day. Not a long while yet hopefully.

GP wouldn't touch it all the time he has a project to complete here
How on earth is he ahead of Grealish in the pecking order,
Let's not be peevish, now.
He was alright and I'm sure little Leeds are entitled to a bit of enhanced clitoral blood flow when they think of him
We would, if it were we.We were better in the second half. I like the Wolves lad.
Sterling is a class above.
We have nothing up front, though.
The manager is not....really....sorry, what was I saying?
I’m actually a fan of Southgate’s and I want him to continue but he has to learn the lessons from this game. Southgate has made a series of big mistakes both in man management and tactically.
1st Mistake.
He picks players he likes and trusts like Dier and Trippier rather than specialists. It seems he’d prefer four right backs he knows well in the squad than a specialist left back or left wing back. Sessegnon would have done a better job than the limited Trippier.
2nd Mistake.
No discipline or respect from the younger players. His handling of the brawling Blockhead gave the green light to Greenwood and Foden to run a muck. His handling of the Sterling-Gomez fight was weak and poor, he has lost control of the dressing room and needs to get it back.
3rd Mistake
Other than Sterling, Kane & Sancho; he failed to start with any really creative attacking players. This was in part due to Greenwood and Foden being sent home but he still should have started with Mount or Grealish.
4th Mistake.
His 3-4-3 formation was a joke. It creates hardly anything. His priority was shoe horning some of his favourite players into the team, unfortunately, they are defensive players starving the team of creativity.
5th Mistake.
No understanding of how Denmark would play. They played very defensive against our team full of defenders and defensive midfielders. 0-0 was the only outcome.
6th Mistake.
Too many DMs. Phillips, Dier & Rice. You only needed one defensive midfielder against Denmark, he had three. As a midfielder playing at the back, Dier looked more like Shane Duffy than Webster as he never really ventured forward and looked a liability defending.
Southgate now needs to cleanse his squad of average players. Leave Blockhead, Foden & Greenwood in the Wilderness for a year or so too. Install some ****ing discipline in the squad.
Play a back four or two up front against defensive set-ups like Denmark had. And pick specialist players, we’ve got some promising young left backs - they’d all have looked better than the round pegs in square holes we had at left back/left wing back in they last two games.
Even the summariser was at a loss as two why Southgate was not playing two out and out Strikers with a back 5 and two DMs.
Sort it out Gareth. The goodwill from the last World Cup is running out.

At least my painted wall is now dry
Because he is a deep lying defensive midfielder (yes that is where he plays for leeds ignore Tyler) and Grealish is an attacking midfielder and for some bizarre reason Southgate wanted two defensive midfielders for this game Rice and Phillips.
Challenging start, but after that.....agree with the rest of your post.
To paraphrase Richard Richard, if only everything has been completely different, it would have been great.

Says it all really, doesn’t it.....
Absolutely no chance in the Euros, we are light years behind France, Belgium and even the Germans.
When Denmark scare us into a defensive formation we might as well not even bother.....

We call (I use "We" loosely) Webster Webdini. Do they really think he is the new Maldini or is it the same as Leeds fans and Phillips?

The nation will sleep soundly tonight.
Dont underestimate Denmark. They are a good team. The only positions where England is obviously better is RB and the front three and considering Pochettino/Southgate turned the Hurricane into the Harry with a cane, the difference is not as big as you would expect up front either.
We arent underestimating them we are pointing out the flaws in a manager that is being lauded as the next world cup winner.
