If 8k is plenty in your mind then it is little wonder that you get on so well with Waggott.

They did take 2 left backs but one got a bad injury in the first game. They have just cobbled together a team to give players game time. Seems to be working thus far.

And it all comes back to self interest, lacking any ability to consider anybody else.

You stated that we have plenty of good English coaches, before then naming 3 former big name players with underwhelming managerial careers to date within the names that could be Southgate's successor. Hardly justifying your point. It wasn't a difficult point to grasp.

Is that why you suggested Lampard, Gerrard and Rooney as potential candidates?

Better second half last night, we stepped things up albeit against a side as bad as any bar Qatar in the tournament, with a poor manager scared to drop past it players. Any competent keeper would have saved both Rashford goals too. Foden was really good and stood out with his technical ability and the way he can weave through defenders, and Rashford was also very good. The question is whether they will be persisted with or whether Southgate will want to put back in his favourites in Sterling and Mount who would weaken the team. The midfield is a big question mark, Rice is not a top level midfielder as useful as he is due to his technical limitations and Bellingham is someone who I am not sure where he is best, as the furthest forward of 3 I am not convinced that he does enough in the final third. Henderson was our weakest player and I would drop him on Sunday. Also, fed up of hearing our fans (and official account) going on about Hedges' omission as if he would have made a difference.

This is a terrible watch. Our midfield is so one paced and technicaly lacking.

Well that our selection will "cause havoc."

Your blood pressure must be all over the place when England play. Saying you arent watching then questioning committment, demanding the manager goes then defending any notion of easy draws and going from the manager needing booting and showing no positivity to thinking we will batter them!

A third centre back surely if anything would make it more sensible to play Bellingham to give him more scope to get forward. Henderson/Rice AND 3 centre backs is just asking for slow and side to side.

A nice big pay rise would be a huge thing for anyone before considering big European nights in front of a full stadium. Plus there is no reason why he cant get to the Premier League from there.

Where is the expected team? If the intention is to play 5 at the back in the knockout stages then we should have played that throughout the tournament. Henderson in a 2 with Rice in front of 5 defenders is typical Southgate. I don't see why it has to be unless there has been a rule change. Give me the best person for the job regardless of nationality. I cant for the life of me remember the decision, just that the decision was correct.

It has happened once in this tournament but I agree. Still, the ref to blame.

Reasonable was not meant as a put down. I would consider managers from any nation so pointless even comparing. Tuchel wouldnt be too bad.

Its a terrible decision that the ref deserves to be blamed for, not the technology. Even the pointless Walton disagreed.

None of Lampard, Rooney and Gerrard would come into the thinking of even yourself if they weren't legends from their playing career. You could say anyone could potentially be England manager if he did x, y and z, absolute nonsense.

What an oddly bitter post 😂

That side would be very slow, I don't get why Grealish starts considering again like Mount he has not really performed to a high level for a long period of time. I will qualify my comments on Bellingham if you are being pedantic by saying on the assumption that Bellingham is not injured, that it would be crazy to drop him for Henderson. I would bring in Foden for Mount, Walker for Trippier and probably Maddison for Sterling, although maybe Rashford and allow Foden more centrally. If the intention is to play a back 5 in the knockouts then I would play it now, and also either start Trippier or Alexander Arnold rather than Maddison, with our 3 attackers who have performed at a very high level across recent months (Foden, Kane and Saka) all starting. Howe and Potter are reasonable shouts on merit as managers, but you just threw in big name former players for no reason. You genuinely cannot look at Lampard, Gerrard or Rooney's mixed managerial careers and think that minus their status as players, that they would come close to being England manager otherwise. It is important but not as much as so as the first 2 games. The likelihood of Wales having anything to crow over is very unlikely considering even a win for them will probably still see them going home. The main objective must be to get back on track and finish top but essentially qualification gives us some room to manoeuvre.

Maybe not a dead rubber but we are already through so not as critical as it could be. He will be putting in Henderson befitting of his inability to get the most of our more attack minded, exciting players in Foden, Bellingham and Saka. Some of your potential managerial choices named to justify this desperation to have an English manager are bizarre. Herdman set his Canadian side up very naively and motivated his opposition with stupid comments in the media, how has he suddenly become in the mix? Then you have just named former players topped off with the hilarious shout of Frank Lampard.

I had assumed that there would be a number of changes due to it being close to a dead rubber. I think of the upcoming games in the next few days, the conclusion of our group is possibly the least exciting.

How do you known that Foden won't play?

Nothing says Gareth Southgate like the rumoured change of Henderson for Bellingham tomorrow night.

I think you struggle to look past your bias with England. Colombia and Denmark missing their main players as well as Sweden and Ukraine are not teams in knock out international football that you would be sad to draw. They are not the cream of the crop like you seemingly have us as. France not only overcame Argentina but also Belgium when they were a serious proposition (and beat us) and also the same Croatia team that beat us.

I don't get why it needs a fixed period of "loyalty" which wouldn't exist if any of us were offered a considerable job upgrade and pay rise. Even if he goes QPR will receive compensation so they will be in profit. They would sack him if he went the other way, its football.

That at least some consideration is given towards supporters attending the games. There should be a limit on moving successive games for one club/games within a specific period of time.
