Perhaps we're waiting for Southgate...

Uwe Rosler? Can't remember if he made it internationally

Oh Pope you dope

Bellingham has been very good

Great pen. Well done engerland

Good finish to be fair. Still think he’s shit.

Sterling was playing well. Mount is not really an answer to anything. So overrated it’s untrue.

It was a clear penalty in normal play. Amazed it took VAR tbh

How does he manage to find so many boring, safe players to play? With all that talent available it’s a singular skill that Southgate still finds room for drab players like Henderson.

Can't see that happening if we draw tbh

I think we will lose 0-1 and Ralph will be toast. I hope it all clicks and we tonk them 3-0

If we were to make a change, now would have been the obvious time in the international break. Or perhaps they have spent the time doing due diligence on lining someone up over the next couple of games, depending on results

It’s Graeme Le Saux. Ex saint…

I’d stick Greg Wallace up front. Torode in the hole

Ralph-esque subs there by Southgate. 1-0 down against Italy. Bring on Luke Shaw. That should do it.

😉

Ballard. Get him in the first team.

Ralph still second favourite to be next manager to leave his job behind Rodgers but moving out (I think) at 9/4. Was probably just a few punters getting on after seeing that Wiki nonsense. Actually would quite like it to happen though, I suddenly realise

Guys. Poch isn't coming.

I would agree with that. Might be an okay guy but tactically I think he's very odd, and man manager wise he can't be much cop. Chooses wrong players for roles, doesn't seem very aware of needs to alter position, mid-game, doesn't really inspire. Think wheels may be in motion to look to the next person.

Agree. Seems to have this belief that 'keeping it tight' (ie no attacking at all) in the first half will then transition to us nicking a goal and clinging on for dear life. Only thing possible with our budget etc etc. More adventurous managers would get more out of this crop of players. Still in the 'replace him soon please' camp, I'm afraid. Might be very costly all round if we don't.

Might be a good time to approach Thomas Frank, if that's still in our thinking.

Isn't Ralph 'retiring' next year? I hope we have our own replacement nice and lined up. Suspect he may be a coach at the club at the moment...

exactly this. such a knee-jerk national fetish for 'grieving' being all about being sad and morose rather than celebrating a life. Pathetic really.
