Can you admit that Southgate is doing a great job yet?

[Jonny Ingbar]

Sigh.... Sigh.... And you are comparing apples and pears!

You cannot say England would have lost that match if that goal was given if there was VAR.... That is the nonsense not the luck (bangs head off the wall)

Give over FFS.

Clear to see that teams have stifled our threat, we need to find a way to create space when a team sits in

First half showed when the low block isn’t deployed how good this team can look

 

[DearChicago]

In the end all that matters is winning games. I watch for my teams to win, I really could not care less how that happens.

Agreed. It's a results business, and his results have been good.

No one cares that England didn't dazzle in '66, and they won't care if we grind our way to this title either

Which actually could mean playing Spain in the final might suit us. They’ll not sit in a low block.

 

[Duffman]

Yes

 

[ForssAwakens]

Well they’ve shown against the Italians and France they have it in their locker

But I do agree, I thought tonight would suit us and I think Sunday will too

 

[DonTheKing]

Still no.

 

[atypical_boro]

Still no.

Enjoy your moment.

 

[HarryVegas]

Amidst the undoubted mauling and subsequent departure of Gareth, be careful what you wish for. I have a terrible feeling that this could be a high point for years to come.

I`m not sure how anyone can say he hasn`t done a good job

Gone from a laughing stock against Iceland to another final, all be it another loss, you can`t deny he has took us further than any other manager since 66

 

[Legz]

Omg....yes he has done a great job for England. He's put us up there....finals, semi finals, quarter finals in 7 years. We've been a joke at international level for years with the talent we've had and the disappointments we've had. He's created an environment that stops all these "big names" playing against each other and play with each other. He's created resilience. A man who only took over as a fill in cos Allerdyce was a d!ck
I mean who do people calling for his head....still...think will take over....I don't see any potentials
Has it always been easy and pretty...hell no....but a win is a win
He deserves it to be his decision

It’ll be Howe or Potter and we’ll win the 2026 World Cup at a canter. Apparently.

Guardian view before the final

... bleedin' woke nonsense

Leave with dignity Gareth, thanks for the last 4 competitions. Who knows, maybe the next guy will take it further .... unlike the previous 7 ...

 

[Scrug]

I think he’s been incredible for England and will constantly be an advocate of this. He’s turned the team around and gave them a genuine fighting chance of glory.

That being said, I do think it’s time to move on now. I think the tide has turned with public opinion.

Interested to see what happens next.

 

[Glover_elbow]

wrong team selection wrong tatics

 

[DonTheKing]

Enjoy your moment.

Enjoy what moment, my teams just lost a other final. How can I enjoy it ?

 

[Quicksilvera]

I don’t understand Southgate’s habit of putting a defender in central midfield either.

 

[The vomiting vicar]

I don’t understand Southgate’s habit of putting a defender in central midfield either.

Or a centre forward

 

[Legz]

Do you know what would be interesting...a poll based on age on who thinks Southgate has done a good job. I feel, and I may be wrong, that the older amongst us will be more positive towards him based on what we've dealt with in the past.
Just a thought
