How is he watching this and thinking Rice and Phillips is still good in the midfield? He's clueless. Most exciting squad we've had in years and that drip is the one in charge of them.
This game is proof we ain't going to win the thing, can't deal with the occasion.
Got nothing to do with occasions we are simply not good enough, not one of those players on the pitch would be sort after by the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, B Munich, PSG etc. All average players that are great at qualifying.
What was that match recently (Poland?) Where we looked crap and he refused to make any subs but managed to get a late goal to win - he's hoping for that again. Stubbornness rather than inspiration
Should be sacked straight after the tournament. Tactically clueless.
Talks a big game about our attacking quality, and then decides to play the most conservative 5-2-2-1 formation that stifles any attacking intent from our team.
His squads for the past 2 years have looked like he's just thrown 11 players onto the pitch and told them to sort something out.
Why did we even hire a Middlesbrough reject in the first place other than he was cheap?

Shades of Karel Fraeye spread out tactics.
If he didn't add the dramatic flop he may have won the penalty there

Yeah, that self-satisfied feeling is far more important than winning eh?
