"WOE DE COLOGNE" - England continue to stink the place out.

Improvement… in what way? Not being sarcastic I just can’t see it.

i shudder at what Spain or France or even Germany will do to us.

southgate sets a low bar and then dives right under it.
70% possession . Bit quicker build ups . Gave it away less

Still long way to go but job done isn’t it

Now to start playing

No runners from midfield, little creativity, countless times killing our own momentum by pointless fouling or kicking the ball into touch (great players in the PL just don’t do that, they treasure possession).

Gallagher bloody awful, Foden greedy and a diver.

Why bring on a stack of creative players with just a few minutes remaining?

Referee a corrupt tw@t in the second half. So unusual at this level.
Gordon didn't excel in his four minutes on the pitch....so Gareth doesn't have to play him again! 🤣

I feel sorry for Stones/Kane etc who have to come out and defend this manager

The players and football writers love Southgate. Players …. he’s a libertarian, the writers …. he cleverly got them onboard from day one, they’re party to everything and have full access. Even this week John Cross and Henry Winter on the radio in love with GS.

In one of the greatest episodes too. Just brilliant from start to finish.
I didn't deliberately miss the match, I just happened to work late. But if you'd offered me the option of watching that clip 180 times in a row or watching the football, I'd have gone for the clip.

Worst case scenario, at least it's some sort of weird psychological experiment.

Probably best they aren't trying to attack the manger though.
