Southgate has done a lot of good as England manager, changing a broken culture around the national team, but his tactical conservatism always looked likely to cost us eventually and it biting us hard in this tournament.
There’s was defiant element of bad luck vs. France at the last World Cup but this has been pure bad old England and he has clearly run out of ideas.
Yes, when the fa wanted to up their quota of black coaches the employed a Dutchman rather than one of the many talented English black coaches that struggle to get work
Hopefully playing Saka at left back isn't as bonkers an experiment as playing Tyreece Campbell there. (Was that another piece of Appleton foolishness?)
More I think about the more I think what a shocking appointment that was. He was one of the most selfish , single minded strikers I think I ever saw in a shirt. Why are we asking him the lead and coach a group to be coherent in attack?
His presence certainly seems to be rubbing off on this woeful.attacking unit

Now I’m not saying the whole set up has gone to pot because of that but…….
Number 19 should've had 4 cards already !
Poor ref.
Us? Nah, this fine.
He's backed himself into a corner as a result
Fucking disgrace
