I think 90% of the negativity towards Southgate on these forums is purely as a protest to counter balance your sycophancy.

It becomes less and less about luck the better you are though. Which is why when you’ve got a group of players capable of making you one of the best teams you need a manager that doesn’t stifle them. This is the right time for Gareth to go. He’s done a good job and can be proud of his time in charge which has given us some of our best moments ever but the fact is that he’s taken this group of players as far as he can. Of course, as I’m sure Rob will be keen to point out, there is no guarantee that the next manager will be able to take us any further (or even as far) but we’re ready to take that gamble.

But Gareth’s so impressed with the delivery he starts calling Trent a Chef.

Exactly, and now we’re ‘crying out for an 8’ even though we have Jude Bellingham, we’re ’crying out for a striker’ even though we have Harry Kane. A reincarnated Michael Carrick isn’t going to suddenly make us realise how to utilise our players properly. As I said, the problem isn’t the quality of players we have available.

Exactly.

We had a Michael Carrick and we were s***e then as well. The problem isn’t and hasn’t ever really been the quality of the players we have available.

Well hopefully Arne Slot gives him plenty of practice in CM this season.

Yeah **** the stats, did you see the performances?

And that’d be great if the opposition would just let him have the ball with 10 yards of space around him all the time.

It’s alright lads, it’s better to be 1-0 down than 1-0 up.

Nah, he’d have to be player of the tournament and man of every match we’ve played for that.

All this talk of abuse, has he even had that much ‘abuse’? His glaring weakness’ have been rightly criticised but I don’t think people expecting a bit more performance from the teams we’ve had is abuse. I mean, he hasn’t been turned into a vegetable or been given a catchy insulting nickname.

Let’s be honest, it doesn’t really matter who goes out tomorrow.

Would be great to hear Gareth’s positive spin on that though. “we took our goal really well and until their 7th we were right in the game”

Maybe, but I usually try to avoid listening to him.

Imagine that, “So Jude, you’ve won the Euro’s with England, how did you manage it?” “Well, Micah Richards started being a bit more positive on punditry.”

The more I listen to him the more I think that Gareth thinks he’s coaching an U7’s side where you’ve got to be positive no matter what.

Listening to this BBC lot, I think I might have watched the wrong bloody game. 🤦🏽‍♂️

“Yann Sommer has just kept Switzerlands going” You know he’s been ITCHING to get that one out.

Rio: “This is what we want, you want to be in the game, out the game”

Southgate’s like…

He hasn’t changed it at all has he?

When’s the last time Shaw played football? Absolutely no chance he starts.

Refs made an other decision, let’s all whinge.

Mask not much use.
