I just don’t know why we don’t point the finger at the FA. Let’s not forget, before Southgate we had Sam ALLERDYCE… HAM ALLERDYCE! Who is in charge of appointing managers, can we have them on the show so they can talk us through their decisions

[@muratsenol9431]

Can Rio tell how he has experienced the Ruud Gullit interview?

[@ArjunGhag-ix7te]

RELAX - it's just a ☆Brummie War Sign. "Judes got big balls & i cannot lie". Set to the black rap music of "I like big butt's & I cannot lie". Watch the Friends show clip of Rachel dancing to it. So funny! Big Sam & Steve Bruce & Gary Neville were spot on - that A- we were much better with 3 CBs & 2 Wingbacks. That B- Foden & Trippiers own goal off side was awful in KO's. Usually a 99% game loser. Phil & KT are off it. They also messed up a free kick from a nice spot & messed up lots of lefty goal cresting over-laps by going inside with slow tired passing. They can't cope with KO pressure which whereas Jude & Trent & Palmer & Gordon & Rice & Kobbie enjoy it. The more the pressure the more they love it. So Don't bash sweet bee 🐝 Jude & Harry & Gareth (who probably said a nice prayer & then decided to keep both on when they were v tired) & sweet 🐝 Jude delivered the honey (but Foden can't do it without ManC's 115 FFP con tricks funded expensive team & thier big squad rotations). Is Phil this generations Jimmy Greaves. Can't get it done in hot humid summer tournament's but is great in the cool autumn & spring months? So Cmon 3 🦁 fans, help Gareth sort the left side out by doing yo prayers & meditations. Stop the bashing as it feels like 1966 with Trent = Bobby Moore Jude = Bobby Charlton Harry = Roger Hunt Palmer = Sir Geoff Hurst Kobbie = Nobbie Rice = Alan Ball Toney = Jeff Astle Gordon = Martin Peters Stokes = Jack Charlton Walker = Ray Wilson Guehi = Cohen Saka = Armfield

[@taufeeqoldey79]

Ste is the GOAT on this podcast

[@phillipmills264]

I’m in the Ste camp. England’s style just doesn’t engage me. All the focus has been on Bellingham and Foden, undoubtedly gifted players, but the only player to come out the last 4 games with any credit is Mainoo. The kid is intelligent and brave and should be the first name on the team sheet for the game against the Swiss.

[@fds3415]

Toney also did more than Kane. He was a nuisance and couldn’t be handles.

[@reduk1999]

Drop Foden for real already

[@Nightsu]

@@fds3415 Kane can't do much when his wingers don't make runs or cross accurately. You play to the strengths of your best player which is Kane by giving him runners in front of him.

[@Nefariousbig]

Honestly Eze was super impressive when he came on. Might be bold but him at the 10 with Mainoo behind imo adds a ton of control and class, and from what he showed Eberechi can get stuck in so it wouldn't be as lightweight as it might seem. Drop Foden, Saka left Palmer right, or Gordon left Saka right. Could even play Eze LM in a 442, Saka RM, Kane and Toney up top.

[@fds3415]

[@robaldo86]

Completely agree with Ste's thoughts on England - as a Man United fan growing up in the 90s/00s having your own players targeted and abused (Neville, Rooney, Beckham etc) it was very hard to like England, despite wanting to. I was always drawn to the passion and belief teams like Brazil or Italy showed in that era and felt slightly embarrassed to be associated with England football team just because I was born in England. With only Kobbie Mainoo in the team these days and United still very much hated (never ignored) it's still so hard to really cheer on England. I want them to win but I don't really celebrate goals anywhere near as much as I do for United.

[@vishwashah3812]

Is it just me or England do have a very obvious style of play? It's tiki tala, counter attack , park the bus, gegenpress, quick one touch football combined but just all the negative aspects of the above and let's just appreciate how hard that is to pull off. Took Southgate 8 years to get there

[@GertBowker]

😆😆😆😆

[@fds3415]

If Eddie Howe is available he needs to be the next England manager. I don't think Newcastle have any plans to let him go but he does need to be sounded out. English, very good attacking football manager, intelligent, good man management, tactically astute. He is the best English manager around atm.

[@evanmichael3387]

The way England play is like an MMA fighter who rocks his opponent and doesn't follow up because he's afraid of getting hurt instead of just finishing the fight.

[@gazzatowers]

If Southgate wants to keep playing this 11 and formation, the change is so simple - Foden RW, Saka LW. Gets the best out of Foden in his best position (where he played most for City this year). That way, even if Trippier cuts inside a lot, we still have a pacy option who can stay wide and be a threat in behind in Saka. That’s the big issue here. If your full back cuts in, doesn’t overlap and provide width, you just need a winger who will keep wide instead on the same side.

[@BeachPleased]

Ste should start the "regardless of the result, England will sack Southgate" Agenda or "who should replace Southgate" Agenda

I s2g I'm gonna start a petition for England to play 3/5 at the back with wing-backs. Been unashamedly been harping on about this since the first group stage game. The left-back crisis is a fallacy: The squad has depth, desire, talent & skill - We just need tactical ingenuity.

[@davidramjee]

There is incompetence and negligence in the way Southgate has approached the squad and the team of players. He is leaving players to fend for themselves and sort out the problems on the pitch when it is his job to set them up in the correct manner and give him the best fighting chance. His tactics and formations and the players within the formation have been unclear and experimental. Which has filtered right through onto the players. The in game substitutions is a whole other matter.

I've got a feeling that we'll end up with a Scholes , lampard and Gerrard problem with Phoden Bellingham and Kobbie Mainoo.

England won games *despite* Southgates choices, not *because* of them.

[@PjMasks-qu6bb]

The madrid mentality came into him

[@RichardJuukovsky]

The media have been obsessed with the idea that different players should be played and they have been. Alexander-Arnold is off, as they demanded, Mainoo is playing as they demanded and Palmer has had more opportunity than any other sub, yet the results have not been that much better than before him being on the pitch. In fact, the players the media have ignored and Southgate chose without their mention have had more impact than the ones the media goes on about. Palmer has yet to give an assist or score and contributed to messing up what was going to be the goal of the tournament against Slovenia when Anthony Gordon produced the pass of the tournament to Mainoo, which was followed by an act of delightful skill and pass by Mainoo to Kane. Kane too followed this by a delight pass to Palmer who was out of position, asleep and too late to the ball which he followed by a pathetic shot that might as well have been a pass to the goalie and should have won us that game. If that was Saka playing there instead of Palmer, he would have been in the right position for the pass from Kane and would have been free to run clean on goal or had a free shot and scored. Saka at least has an assist and not because his game time as it did not that much game time to make and assist. Palmer is all swagger, but no delivery at the most important moments or at all in this competition while others deliver. So once again your ideas have proved wrong there, but that the fact is, while the players you demand play have succeeded in nothing, most especially Palmer, to the point that I play a game where when Palmer has the ball I count 10 seconds knowing the ball will be in the hands of the opposition by the end of those ten seconds, other players who have had less time on the pitch have created assists or special unforgettable attacking contributions. Mainoo was never a priority in your discussions of who should play yet he has had a considerable positive impact in his contribution and looks the most consistently high performer in the final third for England with his play not only calm and of quality way beyond his years in tight spaces, but equal in level of control of the ball, passing, temperament, intelligence and quality of delivery you would find in a Man City team or any great Spanish or Italian team and he has achieved this level of ability and maturity at just 19 years of age. For England, he is the big and shocking surprise of this tournament at just how good he is and the world is watching it. I predict his price is going to surge at the end of this tournament with top teams after his signature around the world even if England go no further. Manchester United better watch out. Great stuff. Peace and love
