It's not about who would definitely win one, it's about giving someone the chance. Gareth has had 4 chances now and has scraped his way through easier runs and been tactically outclassed every time the going has gotten tough. He clearly is unwilling to choose players on form or to change things until things start going wrong. We know he is incapable. Having someone else try something new and fall short doesn't exactly vindicate the current manager, who has also won sweet FA.

Potentially, but to say England don't have technical players is nonsense. The likes of Stones, Bellingham and Foden are all more than capable of playing in technical teams, we have Wharton on the bench who we all know can play that role and we have a number of attacking wingers who can play like that too. A fit Kane is also a very capable player with the ball at his feet. Of course, playing those players in a system that relies on slow, turgid hoofball isn't exactly going to work properly. They could have performed better for sure. There is a big argument that England have relied on players pulling moments of magic out of thin air to get where they did, because our system is ineffective.

I personally think he should have gone after the World Cup semi. He's always been tactically awful in big games.

Guehi, Stones, Pickford solid all tournament for me. But unfortunately, it's that that says everything. The midfield, and especially the forwards have majorly let themselves down. We got to the final by sheer luck and then were lucky it wasn't a rout.

That is an absolutely horrendous stat (even if it is xG) and shows how badly we've stunk up this tournament.

If he stays in Carvajal's pocket they can save a fare. Absolutely anonymous again, needs to take a step back after all that yapping he was doing in the Slovenia game and think about how he's playing.

We've turned up for one half all tournament. We deserved to lose by 3 or 4 there and that second half performance was amongst the worst.

And there we go. Get the PE teacher gone. Absolutely rancid performance

Great goal, but we've done the classic Southgate thing of sitting back as soon as we score and letting the other team get back into the ascendency. It's so frustrating to watch

2 tap ins and a penalty, literally any of our other strikers could have scored them and actually added something to the rest of the team.

Kane off, wasted 60 mins of the game for no reason. In the squad for sentimentality rather than form.

Give over, they're twice the team we are on and off the ball

This is the kind of game that shows why we need a new manager. Top international teams have an identity and style of play and dictate the tempo. Spain are levels above us. Utterly horrific performance in this half so far.

Gareth getting outclassed by a half time tactical change. Classic Gareth.

You were saying? Abysmal defending

Rodri being injured could be huge both in terms of the team and psychologically - we should be looking to step up and take charge of that midfield.

I'd argue it's like the 2nd half of the semi - we need pace to stop their defence pressing up against our midfield to give them space. Spain tired against France so I'm hoping that happens again and we can unleash some fresh legs off of the bench. It's winnable if Gareth wants it

He's so far off the pace again. The difference in the press is massive, we can barely get out of our own half.

It's going to take a miracle to win this I feel. Chasing shadows so far and Kane can't press. Hope I'm wrong but there is a chasm in quality so far.

I think the ideal scenario for everyone in to win and have him leave on a success, a final redemption after the penalty failures on years past. He succeeds and reaches the pinnacle without dragging things out and allowing it to get poisonous, and the fans and team get to move forward with a hopefully more progressive manager who can make them the side we know they can be.

99/100 times Bellingham misses that bicycle kick and England are out in the RO16 with a barely a shot on target across 4 games. You need luck in tournaments and we've definitely had a decent chunk so far.

Sven got knocked out by a generational Brazil side (who we could have beaten), was robbed in the Euros against Portugal with Campbell's last minute goal and then by 2006 it was starting to go wrong but Portugal were beatable there too. However, all of those opponents were more difficult than anything Southgate has navigated past so far. For me if we don't win on Sunday I don't see the argument for keeping Southgate and I think the best option for everyone would be a change, but I will concede that if we win it's hard to argue that whilst turgid it hasn't worked. I think Spain are beatable and France could have beat them the other night despite not being spectacular themselves, but first half semi-final England need to turn up, not the one from the rest of the tournament.

Another hit for me and now we've got rid of the vaping sponsor I can actually go and get one. As for the colour... it's just a colour. It has no more meaning than if the shirt was green or black and to ascribe anything more is asinine. Assuming the away one is a take on the black and red stripes then I expect this will be another year where Macron have knocked it out of the park. Customised kits to the club will always be much better than the slop Umbro and Nike were serving up.

There is zero chance of signing 4 or 5 quality players with the current regime and the court case going on.

Not really, if you consider that the hypothetical that people are reacting to is selling the league's top scorer for peanuts and replacing him with at best some 12 year old loanees from the PL. Especially considering how appalling bad we were last season it's going to take a miracle at this point to be optimistic about the new season.
