Southgate Out!

[LiberalFox]

I don't mind being competitive every major event and losing to world class sides. I'm skeptical how many won world cups over the years you could pin on the manager actually. 

[Jaspa]

Get Mourinho in!

[Tuna]

I'd say Southgate's off from his ITV interview.

[Guest Lcfc82]

His time is up now. He has wanted a good group of players

Good.

 

Thanks for the games and all but its just time for someone who isnt scared to give others a chance. Mix it up more. Too safe.

How many different types of mangers have we had and no-one's done anything for 60 years.  I'm not bothered if he stays or goes wont make any difference.

 

The players do seem to like him and he's built a good teams spirit and reached a final and semi final which is more than any manager has achieved in 60 years.

 

But no doubt someone will come in, we'll lose in the quarters and people will be calling for a manger change and round and round we go.

Please baby jesus, make it happen 

[AjcW]

The replacements the FA want aren’t available. Unless he walks he’ll be here until after 2024

[FoxesWalk]

It’s probably the best England performance against a good side under him. 
 

Still flawed though obviously, I’m sure all of us share issue with how he picks his squads/teams. 

[Guest Lako42]

I want a manager who picks on merit. 

 

Southgate pretends to do that 

[The Horse's Mouth]

How people are blaming Southgate after that I’ll never know, probably the best performance we’ve put in a knockout game under him 

[jayfox26]

Hes just like Brendan. On the face of it, results are decent and he talks a good game. But cut through the bull shit and he's a stubborn, unlikeable bell sniffer!

[fazzyfox]

The way the game ended reminded me of the Puel era. So often we’d make a brave fist of the second half and just seem to run out of time to turn it around…oh what we’d do for ten more minutes, we’d have beaten them etc but I’d always say why didn’t we do more with the 45 minutes of the first half. The ponderous walking football. Lack of movement and tempo…use those first half minutes to build a base and a lead not just get through it. Saka was brave and made things happen but overall as a unit it was just over cautious again.

Sven going out against that Brazil side and Portugal on pens is a better performance that Southgate going out against Croatia and France. I said what I said.

[KFS]

Best thing he did was unify the team and get the country behind THEM. If you can have that plus a decent manager then we could do something 

[Unabomber]

Pearson could do a job but dunno if the FA will go for him as he doesn’t suffer fools and he can be controversial in interviews.

Why on earth doesn't he change it up earlier. Bringing Grealish on with 2 minutes to go is pathetic. 

There's another player Southgate should've bought on. 2 minutes left. Free kick 22 yards out....

 

Choke on those words around madders Southgate. 

[adam]

Let's hope that's the end of it for him. We need a proper manager.  He would struggle to get a job in a top half championship side. 

 

[cruzFOX]

Don’t worry I think we will see a statement from SG soon.

[Guest Col city fan]

I’d replace Southgate now personally. Not because he’s done a bad job. He hasn’t.

Or because he’s tactically basic. We know he is.

I’d replace him because I can see no point in keeping him in the job. How’s that for a fresh view!

If he stays, we qualify for the next tournament with ease. We know exactly who he’ll place his trust in. And we know if we meet a top European country in later rounds of the Euro’s, we’ll lose again. It’ll be very boring actually.

Tonight there was a game that was crying out for something a bit different. Who did he bring on? Sterling and Rashford. Again. Oh and Mount. Again.

Imagine how exciting it might have been if that last free kick was about to be taken by Maddison? Ok, we’re Leicester, so we’re biased. But wouldn’t it have been fresh. I’d put money on him scoring that, when I was convinced Rashford would put it over the bar. For proof, ask Mrs Col. I told her it’d go over… 😂

The point remains. You know what you get with Southgate. You get nice, friendly, safe, defensive. But we ultimately lose.

I’d like to see new, fresh, adventurous, different with a hope that next time we might actually win.

[Foxxed]

So... are we saying Southgate managed the better team but Kane lost us the match…? If we do sack him we’ll likely need to dodge him over the summer. Pluses and minuses.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

He did a good job tonight and lost. 

 

It's games like the USA that concern me with Southgate.
