Disappointed Gareth Southgate Says Everyone Needs To REMAIN CALM & Errors Will Be Rectified! 👀

Perfect for Man Utd mr massey

We wud win this with pep mr massey

I find it so funny that people try to blame Southgate for a performance like last night. Managers can’t control everything, particularly in a friendly when they’re trying to get minutes into players and protect others. The players will have been told to press, work hard off the ball, they will have been given instruction in training – they didn’t do that after the first 10 minutes, the players were lazy mentally and physically. Kane’s miss, Palmer’s complete unprofessionalism in decision making and intensity when the opposition goalkeeper gave it away in their box, Foden’s ridiculous flicks when he was in real space around the box in the first half; the players simply weren’t at it because they took the game lightly. When you do that at this level the game becomes difficult, especially when players know that they’re managing their minutes and when the manager can’t and doesn’t need to make decisions based on winning an individual game of football.

As usual, England fans need a scapegoat and are quick to panic. The players weren’t good enough, they need to switch on, and they will. There was plenty to learn from both of the warm-up games; Southgate has some big decisions to make which fans won’t like if he wants to get the balance of the team right and it will be interesting to see how the media reacts if he makes those decisions. One thing that was blatantly clear is that the balance wasn’t right with 2 holders and a 10; people think that 3 central players is negative, but it isn’t because it allows us to dictate the midfield and win the ball back more consistently, Bellingham, Rice and one other (possibly Trent to get real forward passing into the midfield) need to start as a midfield three. Our obsession with Foden needs to stop; if he plays he can start off the left and interchange with Bellingham at times to find himself in more central positions. If the space is in behind, Gordon becomes a better option. As good as Foden is for Manchester City, we won’t win a tournament because of individual quality alone, there has to be a balance to the team – last night’s game showed that.

Sack the F.A. Board, they just want yes men. Next appointment will be the same.

One of his big problems is that he's too nice and soft. Too much of a friend to the players. He needs to be tougher with his players. It was simply not good enough, the players should have scored at least 2 or 3 with the quality they have and considering how close we are to the Euros. He lacks the passion and killler instinct required.

Obsessed with stats try watching the game not your assistants laptop

Man up

If Gareth Southgate was a man he would resign. FA are pathetic also

He shouldn't have named his squad before the game, it was feet up. Also I've lost track of how often we come up against teams who park the bus & yet we always struggle. Southgate saying he learned a lot is just a load of froth – he says 'at this level'? Iceland are a bunch of championship players at best. Nowhere near good enough for the money the get paid. Kane's wages must be half of their team put together.

Is it any coincidence that the managers with a cutting edge to them like Mourinho, Fergie and Pep are serial winners and this fella couldn't win a bean.

Even the media are treating him like a boy that could fall apart if their questions are a little mean because that's just the vibe he gives you. Southgate – grand if you want good vibes, not so good if you want a trophy in your lifetime.

Remind me. Is he dealing with things that no other manager in the history of international football has dealt with? "There's reasons for all of that."

Yeah, Gareth, at what point is it just about the fact that your players are supposed to be better than the other teams and just get the job done.

No tactics,Dyche be better than him

I wonder if Gareth ever gets angry. He's a nice guy but these players get shouted at every week for their clubs and it seems to work.

Might use this interview to cure my insomnia

Alan partridge's soft little brother

You left 2 of our best players out
You only put dunk and guei in because you think it’s you an egihog bk in the day
Put tha pizza hat bk on

When you got too many attacking players who don't press and are lazy to press or counter press your jus leaving your back 4 exposed especially when full back bomb forward, change the mentality Gareth and you got a euro winning squad.

IF England win the euros…. what are all the haters responses going to be compared to now? All these ridiculous comments about a friendly against ICELAND a WEEK out from the euros with potential injury risk will be irrelevant.

It's easy to blame the manager, as usual. It's down to the players when they cross the white line. Players looking not to get injured or over exert themselves. They all feel the pressure and expectation playing for England…..as usual. Bottle jobs. I don't think they will qualify from the group. The other countries will be looking to prove themselves against England and want it more. Can't even be arsed to watch it. Footballs gone in this country.

Should’ve went for Mourinho whenever there was a chance

Who is that guy anyway`?

Useless yes man "I wont take Grealish if Pep doesn't trust him" (not a quote but will be his thoughts). He was fighting for a place in a team that just won the treble, not a team that has won sod all for 2 million years.

THANKS FOR TELLING EUROPE ALL OUR WEAKNESSES
Young team
With physical issues
Worried about injuries
ITS A YOUNG SQUAD ,HOW CAN THAT BE?
We ain’t winning 🏆
