Watched England last night now that was blinking boring dreadful performance 

They are severely boring to watch but should be one of the best teams to watch considering their squad. I cant believe against Malta he played Maguire and Henderson. 

 

They are joint favourites 4/1 with France for the Euros but they dont have that winning mentality that France, Germany and Italy have - these 3 are "tournament teams" that just need to get into tournaments and will always have a chance.

If England were to change their manager before the tournament,  then their chances would be significantly enhanced

Yeah absolutely, but there is not a chance they will change. 

 

The proof is in the pudding - three tournaments running Southgate and his tactics have cost England. In 2018 they go 1-0 up against Croatia in the Semi and they sat back and allowed Modric to run the show then go out. 

2021 after going again 1-0 up early v Italy they sat off and allowed Italy back into it. Then last year against France Saka was destroying the French and he subbed him - plus the French just knew they were there for the taking mentally. 

 

The only question is who would they replace him with should he actually get sacked, I doubt Eddie Howe is leaving Newcastle at the moment and Potter is waiting for the right club job. 

 

Where Southgate does deserve credit is building a club mentality within this squad as the so called golden generation is well known for having cliques.
