  1. Southgate deserves all the abuse that’s coming his way after this performance
  2. It’s not just the lack of creativity I’ve not seen England so poor in defence for many years. We couldn’t complain if that had been 3-0
  3. Is Declan Rice the problem in this England team? He slows the game down and just shunts the ball backwards and sideways. Teams just sit back until we eventually give the ball away.
  4. Correct - and they failed to qualify for the last World Cup - but England couldn’t find a way to beat them in front of our fans in our national stadium. All down to Southgate again
  5. 50-over failure and now this. Show Mott the door
  6. Have to say I'd be delighted if we brought in "four or five quality players" but on past form how likely is that to happen? Where's the money? We all know where this is heading - one paid-for signing (£1m max, maybe) and the rest will be loans (kids).
  7. You got the impression with Yorke that he was doing us a favour playing for Rovers and that really, he deserved better. Total contrast to Cole, who always gave 100 per cent when I saw him play. He's not welcome back at Ewood in any capacity
  8. I’m switching over to Great British Sewing Bee. It can’t be worse
  9. Poor touches and passing all over the field. Gallagher looks like a poor man’s Lowe at this level. Note to Southgate: Foden has never been a left winger
  10. Class, real class, players in every position. Ramsey made the famous mistake against West Germany. I've never recovered.
  11. Good call to the poster who predicted exactly the same team apart from Gallagher. What's the betting too that Trent comes on as the first sub too. England need to put on a good show tonight. Results are everything of course and all will be forgotten if England go all the way but Southgate is already running out of goodwill with fans and he is now risking leaving his job with boos ringing in his ears
  12. England's 1970 squad was the best, better than 1966
  13. Not bothered if England win or not. It's 20-20, I don't take it seriously But any humiliation of that lot is welcome. I hope Hazlewood enjoys his journey home
  14. Aussie Aussie Aussie! Out out out! Best and funniest sporting event in a long time
  15. You can’t imagine England equalising like that and getting through against the odds in the dying seconds. Their players have the nous that ours don’t. Croatia were in the England role tonight - naive and lacking the know how to see the game out
  16. Go back to the 1960s - 1990s and many of Britain's best players were Scots so why aren't they producing top class players now? Any Scots in the house?
  17. Robertson is better than any left back we have in Germany
  18. They don’t like us and we don’t like them but you have to say Scotland were denied a definite penalty. Grant Hanley had a good game
  19. Same with the best Rovers team I ever saw - Jack Marshall and a trainer. And that was it. Now we have directors of football, attacking, defending, free-kicks corner kicks, penalty kicks, throw-ins etc etc - and the result is dull, over-coached football. Matt Busby had it right - he just told his players to "go out and play"....because good players don't need instructions
  20. If the Kane rumours are true it means Southgate and his coaches have lost the trust of the players and they will no longer take any notice of what they're saying or doing. It means sense really because the players looked lost in those first 2 matches. All in all, England does not appear to be a happy camp
  21. How many English managers have won the Champions League? How many English managers have won the Premier League? In cricket, the English coaches in recent years have been abysmal The evidence is clear - we don't breed good, successful coaches
