It's the only thing Gareth Southgate has ever said or done that is positive, the difference between success and failure is usually set pieces. Good point actually ric. The top team in the division is normally fvkcing unreal at pressing and set-pieces. Guess that's what happens when you've got the best (ish) player in the world in each position! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If we are talking English managers) Unpopular opinion but they are still both miles off Southgate within the game. Personally, HUGE fan of Parker.

Jobyfox Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 Interesting that people are calling out Potter or Parker for the England job. Their teams are behind those of Bruce, Dyche, Hodgson and Smith yet I don't hear many people calling their names out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sessions are brilliant and preparation is second to none. Never seen his team-talks so won't comment on that but when people ask for new coaches re england job they should really think about what they're after. Southgate is very, very good. Not saying he's unreal or irreplaceable but is a lot better than people think. Players like him too. I don't know though. People will give me shit for this post but I think he's good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be an unpopular opinion I agree but football is full of opinions that’s what’s so great about it. My comment on potter was purely in response to the Parker posts talking him up for the job. If the England post came available tomorrow and an Englishman had to get the job I would pick potter. I think he’s the best of the current crop (who aren’t Southgate). If I was recruiting an England manager however I would look at foreign managers as I don’t believe any of the English ones are good enough. Antonio Conte is one I would love to see. Passionate, international experience and I reckon his system would suit England’s players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsr-burnley Posted 14 March 2021 Share Posted 14 March 2021 6 hours ago, Bats8711 said: I mean - it worked out, but how was that not a handball? Not even looked at? After every single Burnley player immediately appealed? There's no way they looked at it, because if they did, there's no way they could have ruled that not a handball. I'll say it again, challenges need to be incorporated so that incidents don't fall through the cracks. But whoever is VAR today should be fired on the spot. Edit: Davies & Gomes midfield is championship level I suspect the problem was the Everton took the goal kick about five seconds after the ball went out which was faster than the referees could think. And once Everton had restarted the VAR man decided that he couldn't call them back. Either that or the usual "Burnley aren't allowed penalties" rule came back in.

Fulham came up in the playoffs during a pandemic. They had the least time to prepare of anyone and had the worst tools to begin with. Promoted teams always need time to adjust and the fact that he’s got them as strong as they’ve been recently is a fantastic achievement and he’s clearly a very good manager. He’s doing a much better job than most and if they stay up, which I personally suspect they will, I’m sure they will be much stronger team next year.

If they can call it back for Manchester United to get a penalty after the final whistle has blown, I’m sure they could have called it back after a goal kick has been taken. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an absolute disgrace the way VAR is being operated. The way they dismiss the merit of some incidents without having a proper look is a complete joke. It makes my blood boil when you see some decisions that have been given against some that haven't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
