Entirely why Gareth is so poor. Doesn't have a clue how to change things if plan A isn't working.

We’re still winning.

These games always goes one of two ways, we hold on (or score in the break) and Gareth is great or we concede and he’s a fraud. 

[Darren Moores Mum]

****ing sick of the dour *****. Ruining tournaments since '96.

[CFuller]

Bellingham torturing Ilic.

So that's what the "Likes to beat man repeatedly" trait does. 

[aiston]

Very poor set pieces.

Exactly what I said earlier. Wharton's who you need to bring calm to the midfield while Mainoo is the one you bring on if you need to create something. Not sure the plan with Gallagher.

Plan?

Glenn Hoddle trademark

[Smallen]

decent sub. Gallagher will do some tackles.

He runs around a lot?

[CFuller]

We wanted a Chelsea midfielder, Gareth... but we didn't mean THAT one. 

[Pukey]

Gallagher is not the sub I'd have made to try and make this settle down a bit that's for sure

Plan?

To replace a defender who can’t play in midfield, with a midfielder who can play in midfield

I think we’re doing fine, no idea why everyone is panicking  

Think there’s a fine line between doing well, and long periods of little control and needing to smash it long to get pressure off against Serbia.

[Haguey]

Good move, experienced and hard working. Not the time to use the kids imo

[Redshift]

Foden for Palmer as well methinks.

[Pedwar Pump]

All that talent on the bench and you bring on Gallagher

That's the thing, he can set up well but is limited in that he doesn't know how to change things up and lets play stagnate too long before even attempting to do anything

But I guess at least Gallagher should be an upgrade on TAA.

[aiston]

Trying to defend the 1-0 instead of making changes to try push for a 2nd

 

Southgate is utter ****.

[m_fenton]

Pickford 

[arenaross]

Poor second half this. Not very sexy. 

[Wavelberry]

This is performance is pure distilled Southgate. And I love it.

[kopsy101]

Can see the merit with Gallagher, plenty of energy and tenacity. 

[CFuller]

Handbrake back on. Classic Southgate.

[GunmaN1905]

In general, are people in England aware how much of a handicap for this team is having Southgate on the bench?

[Heartwork]

Serbia falling back into their first half habits of kicking the **** out of everyone.

How come you think that? Based on getting to 2 finals, wouldn't you say he's a pretty good manager?

Why are you asking, you known the answer? 

His strength is in the squad building and bonding, the tradeoff being his in-game management.

Sh*thousing weaker opponents doesn't count if you can't actually win anything or beat top teams. It would've been fine if he could do this what he's doing right now against France or Italy when it actually matters.

I'm a hater and I'm still upset how poor this team looks like considering the talent.

We're very aware.

Pickford 

We have all these ball players... kick it long!!!

At least we have the best striker in the world for winning free kicks from lost causes I guess.

Common mistake. A good manager would be winning things.

[ThanatosAFC]

Never seen a squad with so much talent so poorly coached. 

[Heartwork]

TBF to Gallagher during that phase in play, he was finding acres of space but nobody was playing the ball to him. A circle with around a 10 yard radius around him.

[aiston]

We 'counter' so slowly

 

[Harryseaess]

Bowen before Palmer...

[Redshift]

Saka

[RTHerringbone]

Foden still on 😂

[Smallen]

ah, that’s a poor sub

[JJ72]

Bowen...oh dear

[aiston]

Still nothing done to the left side that has been ***** all game

Come on Southgate.

All but one of us, yeah.  

[Astafjevs]

For all their play, Serbia have had 0 shots in this half. Not going to score if that's how they're going to continue

[Bootador]

Southgate trolling absolutely everyone on OTF apart from Bliss 

[Darren Moores Mum]

Why is Foden still on?

[Haguey]

Solid change imo

[Baptista_8]

Bowen and Gallagher...we need some calmness on the ball ffs.

[arenaross]

That's err a decision. 

[Heartwork]

Bowen? Again, not the change I would have made. Especially not for Saka. But I guess Saka has been subdued a bit in the second half.

[Redshift]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa I thought that was in
