Senegal have been disappointingly pants TBF.

 

France are different gravy. I still worry about England’s backline especially against Mbappe who’s not bad.

Missing three of their best players tbf

Sooner Southgates axed the better. Then qw can stop the charade he's anything but a poor manager. 

A poor manager, that has done more at major tournaments than all bar 1 previous manager.

A poor manager that has the best record of any manager so far at this World Cup.

A poor manager that has overseen us scoring more and conceding less than any other team at this World Cup so far.

Yes he has his floors, but he knows how to manage at a major tournament.

Said to my wife about Madders not coming on that he must have kicked Southgate’s cat. Her response, ‘Why did he put him in the squad then’ 

Will let her off, she is 39 weeks pregnant so will not take the piss!

He's achieved the bare minimum unfortunately so won't be out.

 

He's like that tosser at uni who does no work all year yet passes the exam

Dixon : I'm sure Gareth will spend a lot of time looking at tapes of France.

 

Tapes? It's not 1987 mate, we've moved on from the old VCR.

[StanSP]

Why is Kane playing the whole game?

What’s up with Maddison? 

Not in Southgates plans

[EastAnglianFox]

Even if Madders didn't play for us I'd still be fvcking upset for him

 

He has better stats than all of them he's up against ffs.

 

Allez le bleu

No disrespect but Senegal have players who cant even get in Citys team, Sheffield utd  and Bristol City!

 

France have Mbappe, Griezmann  and that bloke who does the cinch adverts 

England are gonna win it, tune in next Saturday 7pm.

[Sly]

France will be wondering how to deal with us as well. 

[Tielemans63]

Southgate has got it spot on for me tonight. No complaints from me.

[ithuriel]

Senegal opened us up there but really messed it up

Surely being picked for a WC squad and not getting any minutes, while watching less deserving players in ahead of you, will mean he'll come back and not be in the best place mentally?

Madders will be ok but he and Gallagher may aswell get the plane back and watch the rest of the tournament from home, they have no chance of getting on the pitch with Gareth.

What were people expecting. You've not played anyone decent yet. The media in this country love to hype up the England team and part of that is hyping up these trash teams they beat. 

 

And yes I include my own team in that, Wales were utterly dreadful yet after that game you went from apparently being failures after USA to one of the favourites again because you beat us. 

 

England have always been reliable flat track bullies (Iceland incident aside.) You'll know where you're at as a team next week. 

[RowlattsFox]

Kind of like it but Ref is so lenient  all mount has done since coming on is foul people

[David Hankey]

Southgate will have to go, just for not playing Maddison

The bare minimum? In the entire history of the England football team he's managed our 2nd and joint 3rd best tournaments in terms of progression.

Most of the time he gets it right, just in the later stages there are times we could do a bit more and maybe against a france you need to take a risk or two. Felt if we did take more risks against Italy we would have won it

Give the ball to Mbappe and make him run at Maguire. 

[urban.spaceman]

To be 3-0 up and bring Grealish and Mount on instead of Maddison, when Maddison has better stats that the pair of them this season put together, is genuinely insulting.

Does he have an elevator to navigate them?

People say everyone is a shite manager these days if they don’t make the exact decisions or player the same players that they would play. it doesn’t make it true though does it.

At the end of the day it’s a results business and As you say Deschamps has won the World Cup and Southgate has got to a final of the Euros and Semi of the World Cup - a poor manager doesn’t do that.
