S man is a fool. In the Croatia game it was that very midfield that was lost. He should have freshened it up and shored it up as soon as he say Croatia taking over the midfield. Absolutely everyone other than him could see that. So he puts forward a false scenario about us surrendering the midfield to go after them “after” we go behind. This man is not to be trusted!!
What about absolutely appalling penalty taking decisions of sending on 3 young lads cold to take those pens with a young 19 year old lad to take the biggest penalty in England football history. Southgate is useless, please fire him.
Jesus Gareth you do drone on, just get a tactical coach in to help you.
Recent shocking results? 1 game? 😊
Southgate, go to united and leave the England team alone please!
Preparation great but with no tactics on the field!
Regardless what happens in this tournament its unlikely he will stay on. Unless he comprehensively win the euros, i doubt he wants to stay on for a fourth tournament
The FA pinup poster boy zero tactical awareness
still the manager for us especially with so many young stars. If you critics want to know what getting a club manager tactician in would achieve, look at Capello in 2010.
this geezer could put a glass eye to sleep
Looks like Southgate is setting Jude up🤨
Same old retrenched garbage
He knows what’s being said about him…tactics the main one
Turned it off after three minutes,same old recycled garbage
This gotta be the most boring dude on the continent
Sounds like a manager that has always known the limitations of his squad. People overrate England, and he is correct when it counted England didn’t have what it takes. Croatia were not a weak team in 2018 and their midfield outclassed England by a mile, same with Italy. It’s on the players, they ain’t the best. Sorry
He talks about patterns. But the only patterns I see are passing backwards and sideways very slowly. And trying to win games 1-0 or on penalties.
Interviewer asking some good questions
Most successful teams do have balance, Gareth: they play left-footed left backs!
Simple Jack
Let's give him a chance and get behind him for this tournament and see how it goes
France or Germany likely to win this tournament
It’s like listening to paint dry
Gareth thinks he’s playing American football with the types of set up and plays during the game, AA being the quarterback
Gareth South Gate works well with football players more like Carlo Anceloti. Support him and see what he will do
Should have got mourinho for this tournament or tuchel
So for some reason everyone is dissimilar Southgate however he is England’s most successful manager apart from Alf Ramsey. It. Says a lot about the English culture in no matter how well we do as a team it’s never enough. I believe entitled is the word.
Englands opponents should not be reading anything into england losing to iceland
England will be destroying teams with weapons like aways at these events
In 2018 world cup group, england played tunisia, and england used weapons on the tunisia goalie so much, he literally just walked off the pitch, he could not take it anymore
If your playing in goal against england, expect to feel sick, with the weapons they use on you to destroy you to try and get easy goals.
Sonic gun binoculars used on people, is like your totally drunk, ie it scrambles your brains.
Thats why todays goalies are constantly making mistakes today, as teams do not care what they do to get goals.
If your in goal against england, expect to be feeling sick in that game, as england will use weapons on your players to make sure you cannot play, and especially on your goalie, so they can try and get easy goals.
Thats why todays goalies, cannot save like they used too, and you see so many goalies now making mistakes, when these are top goalies.
Footballers are humans, and teams like england, and france will be destroying there opponents with weapons, trying to stop them playing, and especially using them on goalies, so goalie cannot save shots
Todays football is ruined, and its only going to get worse and worse
Where are all the 0-0 that football used to have?
Just remember all teams playing england, do not read anything into englands iceland game, as england will be playing around with things, and southgate will think people are dumb enough to believe it
Englands opponants have to be ready for the garbage england can do to them with weapons on the pitch
Its why in fa cup final, man city only warmed up for 15mins, as they knew man utd would be using weapons on there players in warm up, as man city do the same to other teams.
Football is totally ruined today with weapons, and today its about using weapons with tactics to screw each other over on the pitch
Its why real madrid keep winning, as teams cannot handle how they use weapons and there tactics of using them in games.
UEFA are desperate for England to win they try everything to help
England defended and got jammy vs Italy when they had so many players out injured
This interview terrifies me! The guy is so deluded. He clearly has not learned a thing listening to his poor excuses.
Southgate has been our best coach for a long time. Don’t forget when England has two top foreign coaches with great players it didn’t work.
He's as incoherent as Trump.
Never look like he wants to win anything. Enthusiasm is zero, if I am a player, I will fall asleep when he starts to talk. Go work as a teacher, boring guy.
Please leave Gareth you aren't up to the job.
