And preferably not scared of changing a team when it's clear the selection isn't working, for instance perhaps taking off the on=-footed Saka,in any case playing on the wrong flank, and replacing him with the right-footed Gordon or Bowe, more akin to the speedy 17-year-old Lamine Yamal. Southgate is far too one-dimensional and needs to call it a day. As I said earlier, and agreeing, with Rioch, he is too political. With the right selections and substitutions we should have won that trophy.

I think it will be entirely up to Gareth. If he wants to stay and try to get that win with the World Cup there’s no way the FA won’t allow it and in fact they’d probably prefer it but Gareth my think he’s already done enough, far more than any other England manager but Sir Alf yet all he gets is dogs abuse. If he does go we’re back to who can replace him. It’s not an say thing to do as Gareth is so popular with the players and for me at International level you need to have been there and done it to get the respect of players you’re managing who are at the top level. Gareth managed to do that where many of the names suggested I think would struggle. If he did go I think Michael Carrick would be a good shout. Experienced, been there and seems to get on well with players and is the kind the FA would like. Personally I hope Gareth stays and learns from the two defeats and just takes a bit of the criticism to heart and gets a bit braver. That’s what everyone’s told him he should so let’s give him the chance.

Well just as I was thinking the other options are not great, with 100 games under his belt, maybe Southgate is the man for the next tournament and for the FA to have 2 years to properly prepare for his replacement, he walks.
I don't blame him. 8 years is a long time and it looked like it got to him.
There were times in this tournament when I felt he was resigned to resigning. Like playing Trent twice, then Gallagher and finally picking the best DM and then talking about missing Phillips was a disgrace.
Let's face it we were one late over head kick from an Iceland.
I see Carrick too.
The other favourites seem to be the ones I mentioned Potter, Poch and Tuchel with Lee Carsley. May as well throw Lampard in to make it a full house of Chelsea rejects. Least Tuchel won something. FA don't tend to like Tuchel types.
Feels a bit like were shopping at the same shop as the Welsh FA were a few weeks ago. Could easily see Graham Potter being lined up before Bellamy got the nod.

Good afternoon guys long time no see, hope everyone’s all good.. I’m out of the rat race and enjoying countryside living north of the border now, but I’ll still be getting to plenty of home games! 2-0 to England tonight, hopefully take the shackles off and show what we’re about !! No doubt we’ve been the worst team at this years euros, every England game had been a total borefest Hi BTID great to hear from you again. Pleased to hear you’ve moved up to the land of my fathers aka the Dunfermline area. I lived in Gretna for a while and loved it up there, all along the Solway estuary so which part of Caledonia have you escaped to? I’m not expecting much difference in either performance or result tonight and think we’ll squeeze through either by the odd goal or penalties. To be fair though it’s not just been England who’ve been poor I think it’s been a poor tournament all round with Spain probably being the only decent team so far. That doesn’t though always mean they’ll win it and you could just see England scraping through again if they can get past the Dutch tonight. As regularly happens we could always drag the Spaniards down to our level? 😁 Hiya Whites I’m pretty much bang in the middle of Gretna & Lockerbie out in the sticks.
