Nations League 2022

[Hammo]

Seeing that incompetent tosser squirming on the touch line was almost as enjoyable as watching Bairstow hitting it to all parts at Trent Bridge.

I think the tiredness factor is fair to an extent, and they'll definitely hide behind it. But there is more to it than that. 

 

Scheduling is wrong but no excuse. 

No excuse is good enough when you get battered 4 nil at home to bloody Hungary. We have two games left to the World Cup, can’t score in open play. Southgate, I have had enough of this rubbish 

[Leicesterpool]

Worst captain's interview i've heard in an England shirt, never should be captain. 

[beepee1984]

Harry Kane "We all want to win every time we play"

 

Honestly I would settle for the players playing at there best, if we do that I wouldn't have an issue - but we have been extremely poor!

[Plastik Man]

Kane taking it all on the chin. 

 

Explains a lot. 

[BlueSi13]

I swear to ****ing god some of these players and Southgate have been to the same coaching/media training course as Rodgers.

 

"Remember where we came from" blah blah ****ing blah.

Aren’t the Hungary players tired though? 

He could have picked 22 uncapped players and given them a chance to put themselves in the window for the World Cup. It would have turned out better than these 4 games. 
 

Terrible attitude by the players, terrible tactics 2 boring football and terrible officiating. 
 

All just a load of danglies really.

Don't worry, an 88th minute penalty against Iran will make everything better.

[Milky]

This is the worst set of pundits I’ve ever seen. 

[Daggers]

Joe Cole should be at home silent reading The Gruffalo while mouthing the words. 

[One Arm Babba]

GERRIMOUT!!! Going nowhere with this dullard. Pure fluke to get to the semis of the last World Cup and final of the Euros. make the change now to give us a chance at the World Cup 

[Trumpet]

Have the Hungary lads had a full season too? Surely they must be fatigued?

Definitely had the feel of some of our performances this season 

[ARTY_FOX]

The absolute desperation in the studio for it to not be Southgate fault is tremendous

Our worst home defeat in 96 year FFS. That is totally inexcusable. And Harry Kane just said nothing - but he was "a good boy" and didn't say we were shit - But we were watching Harry - we were worse than shit.

[Tielemans63]

"There are no excuses but allow me to give you this list of excuses"

[Buzzell]

Why can’t they ever put in a pundit that can see this from a fans perspective, and naturally be honest and say that Southgate is crap and we need to move forward if we really want to win things.

 

A pool of talented players throughout the squad and that’s the shite he produces?

Keep it Southgate. 🤡 

[DJ Barry Hammond]

This is such a weak punditry choice by C4 - three ‘yes’ pundits that just chime a well told narrative.

I'm sure Southgate's shills will come out with the old "the players are tired" and "the players are on the beach" excuses, as if Hungary's players have been sat around doing nothing for the last 9 months.

Yeah, Hungary have played four games like we have. 

 

Tiredness is a factor but it should affect most countries in this competition and plenty have coped.

This is the point I’m making. They just lost 0-4 to Hungary. And none of them will take any accountability whatsoever 

[BlueSi13]

Have Channel 4 been TOLD to be as non-critical as possible?

 

Absolutely pathetic coverage.  This game/result is NOT a flash in the pan.

 

Also, Southgate has COST us silverware.  Change my mind...

[beepee1984]

Ashley Cole talks Sh*t - it's a shame it came on the back of 2 poor games (it was 3, learn to count) - we all have bad days, erm losing by 4 without scoring at home for the first time ever is not the history making performance we were expecting and is significantly worse than a bad day

[Leicesterpool]

People talk about where we have come from?... did we win the world cup and the euros under Southgate... did I miss that?

 

Yet no apology from Kane for that horror show. 

 

I admit I wasn't  bothered about the Nations League, but I didn't expect us to look so bad over four games.

Once you let them get away with the tiredness excuse once its there to stay. Every time they get together they’ll think they are too tired or whatever. This excuse mentality will only get worse and Southgate appears to encourage it.
