Southgate already creating excuses

[Yarrgh]

Threesome with Angela Sexon & Vi King?

God, I’m bored.

Tell me about it! Can't even muster up being bothered about Ancelotti scarpering off to Spain.

Not sure what he’s thinking with that lineup btw.

If we sack him today there’s still a chance we can win the euros IMO

He has more right backs than fit midfielders.

I get that they are flexible, but still.

I genuinely think he’s decided on a 343 system. When you look at it that way it’s at least 2 players for each position.

England are at best 4th or 5th favourites if you’re feeling generous, so semi finals are a realistic target

I reckon R16 is more realistic tbh.

Yesterday Southgate was quoted as saying anything less than a semi-final is a failure.
This is a smoke and mirrors preparation of an excuse for failure ... “ well we made it to the semis”
He has been in charge long enough
He has a squad strong and talented enough
He has been to enough major tournaments now to know how to win .
The bar is set at a place in the final .
The nation expects a winning attitude not a fob off plucky run to the semi-final excuse !

You might be the only one here who cares enough to post that. I admire that, i lost it a long time ago.

Southgate is a bum, He's another Aidy Boothroyd.
He's not the right man to handle possibly the most talented England group for a very long time, Hope we crash out early and he leaves.

I can’t stand Southgate if I’m honest. The ultimate yes man who will do anything to appease the press

And those waist coats.

Dear god I hate that and the “it’s coming home” nonsense from the morons in the general public

And that atomic kitten song. Lyric ....Southgate your the one you can make me whole again.

Sounding like they really want gareth to plug a gap

 

[BlueStevie35]

I don’t have a problem with him personally, the one thing he does well is giving the younger players a chance, arguably more so than Hodgson, Capello and McClaren ever did

Godders still in everton mode
