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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
