Displaced Rover

Hasn't won anything.... Let's see how many top tier clubs are scrambling to hire him shall we....

Similar. If I was using the Gareth Bale “scale” it would be Rovers. Golf. England. In that order for me. I obviously want England to win but I’m not really particularly upset they’ve lost this evening. Doesn’t bother me. I do feel this allows me to be a bit more objective than others who see to live and breathe England… People can argue Southgate has done better than recent managers (which is factually correct I accept). However, that is through a mixture of chronic underachievement in the 00s, coupled with an incredibly easy run of draws over the last few tournaments. Southgate has proven time and time again he cannot get over the line in big games when it really matters. It’s time to move on and give a decent crop of players a run at the WC.

Quality stuff from our captain… https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/cp68zzx8x4rt?post=asset%3A15b5e97b-fcc7-410d-ab13-0899a35b3f40#post In the 181 minutes he played across both the Euro 2020 and 2024 finals, England captain Harry Kane had just one shot, one touch in the opposition box and had just 58 touches of the ball

No other manager has had the criminally easy routes to finals he has. It’s ridiculous how lucky he’s got. Gets tactically out thought whenever we’re in a big game. Too many favourites and no ability to adapt

Nah haven’t you heard? Kane is class. Scored three goals from a cumulative 20 yards and should be player of the tournament according to some on here

A penalty, a tap in and a header from about 5 yards out? I’m sure another striker would’ve been on the end of those. He’s been a passenger all tournament

Imagine how they’d look with a striker who can run…

Kane is so far off the pace it’s unbelievable. Either injured or finished at the top level. Whichever it is, he’s a passenger

What are you on about? They used to kick seven shades out of each other and weren’t allowed subs. By what metric is the physical aspect harder these days?

Looks superb - definitely going to pick it up to rock for 5 a side. Some interesting attitudes on pink...it's 2024...

Buzzing for Watkins, could see how much that meant to him.

This is just depressingly familiar from Southgate in a high profile game. Decent start than just watches as the other team adapt and take control. Infuriating

Shaw has the massive advantage of having an actual left foot

That’s never a penalty in a million years 😂😂

Nonsense. Just English bias

Said it the other day, either of these teams mullers whoever comes out the second semi.

Whoever wins the Spain v France match will hammer whatever dross drags itself out of this half the draw

We’ve got to get Kane off. Just playing in front of their back 4. So easy to defend against.

It has to be tactical. There’s no logical reason a player as experienced as him to be popping up as borderline centre back at times

I don’t think the Venky’s patch is ticked by default so you should be ok.

The patch appears as “personalisation” option for no cost. Make sure you don’t tick it!

I’m entirely confident that I could do the same (poor) job Vale does in the Championship.

The players are there to win a tournament. The manager is atrocious, genuinely in with a shout if they’d just sack him mid tournament

How are Bellingham, Kane and Foden all still on the pitch? Been woeful. It’s like he wants to lose

Nugent? Shawcross? Bothroyd?
