...and yet he still fails repeatedly, despite having a worldclass pot of players to work with.

As much as I think Southgate needs to go the England squad is massively overrated. Man for man, Spain just have better players than us.

Ultimately, Southgate’s a defender and only has one way of playing. I feel sorry for him but you need to go and win a final and he’s not capable.

OK.
See you at the next tournament then, I suppose. I wouldn't expect to see you on any of the qualifying threads.
Thanks for popping in.
We actually have a good team and other teams are less good than they were before.
Or they should be, going by how they play for their clubs. Any success is in spite of Southgate and I'll die on that hill. Great job eroding the division, awful job of literally anything else. Gets outmanaged in a final by some nobody who last managed Atletico Bilbao's reserve side before the Spanish youth sides. f***ing clown. As I've said before, everyone at the FA that allowed him to be appointed, let alone stay in charge as manager for so long, needs sacking.

Have never yawned so much during a high profile fixture as I did that first half. Awful non-football from England.

He did a good job when he came in and we are in a better place but that’s not necessarily down to him, more like some great players coming in. The ten forwards we named are better than most teams. If he stayed you know he will continue to pick Kane, Pickford, Maguire and Phillips.
He should have gone two years ago.

It’s a natural time for him to go. But anyone losing their shit because we lost to an incredible Spanish team needs to check their entitlement.
Well beaten by a better side tonight and fair enough.
Whoever comes in needs to deal with the Harry Kane problem, because damn (in the immortal words of Agent J).

Only one win against decent opposition at Tournaments against the Dutch at this years championships (Germany were already falling into chaos when we played them 3 years ago having already failed to qualify from their group at the previous World cup & next). Struggled by and large against teams we should be beating with the attacking tallent we have had at his disposal.

He has been incredibly lucky with the way our track to the later rounds in the last 4 tournaments has played out. Every time we come across a good team, we get outplayed.
He’s not good enough and we need a change now.
As much as I dislike the guy for the way he dealt with us and the Chelsea offer, I think Potter is the man to take over and change the England style to a more possession based one and take us forward.

At least Harry can wave his magic wand.
It would be goodbye to Pickford if this happens. His Dycheball urge to either kick the ball out of play or lump across a 50/50 would not be tolerated. Great saves and claims tonight but so wasteful when we have the ball.

Well said. Completely agree.
Yes and he’d put it in Row Z or give it straight to an opposing forward.
Pickford is the exact opposite of Jason Steele.
