He’s been outstanding for England over the course of 2 tournaments now, yet you still get idiots saying he shouldn’t start. I think Lavia shows how average (free kicks aside) JWP is. 18 years of age and considerably better. Edited 23 March, 2023 by Dman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others he was nothing special. For me he just does what most English midfielders could.

I dont mind Southgate, his record is excellent, his team selections are generally good, my one criticism of him is in the big games he's not proactive and brave enough. We were at Italy right from the start tonight and this team has such good players going forward they are a match for anyone. I get that he couldn't go gung ho against France as Mbappe would have destroyed us and anyone else but just wish he was a bit braver, made subs earlier, that sort of thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdoh Posted 23 March, 2023 Share Posted 23 March, 2023 Don't know what Southgate has against foden. If he was any other nationality he plays every game. And he sits on the bench while his city team mates who normally sit on the bench week in start. And he's in incredible form. I'm not in any way a southgate fan I think his record looks better because of past failings but a decent manager would have won at least one of the last big tournaments easily.

Saka and foden feeding kane should be unstoppable the reasoning that any decent manager would have easily won the world cup or Euros by now is mental. We've had much better managers than Southgate who haven't done anywhere nearly as well. Erikson & Capello were up there with the reputations as the best managers in the world when they took the England job, neither got past the quarter finals. Veneables, Robson and Hoddle all probably considered better managers than Southgate and didn't make it past the semi finals. It isn't easy to win tournement football, there are a lot of factors rather than just picking the same team game after game and expecting them to sweep everyone else away. You can make all the arguements you like about what Southgate should and shouldn't have done in various games but he's still only one of two managers to take us to a final and one of only two manager to take us beyond a quarter final when it's not played in England. Give the man some credit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 24 March, 2023 Share Posted 24 March, 2023 Certainly doesn’t have to be a choice between club and country.
