ENGLAND PLAYERS ATTITUDE STINKS!

England have a chance to win Euro 2024 but some of the players attitude is a disgrace says Mark Goldbridge and it's about time Gareth Southgate and the FA showed some leadership.

So many supporting sheep !! This is not a Southgate issue - this is a player issue as seen in many domestic clubs over recent seasons. Multi millionaire players don't need to show up these days !!!! Look at Chelsea last year - a perfect example of a team losing but players strutting off the pitch to carry on collecting the big bucks !!

Agree with you mostly but saying this is not a southgate issue is crazy lad. I know people with down syndrome that could think of better tactics.

[@GazzaRed-gw7hy]

Southgate knows it’s his last hurrah so he doesn’t care about destroying the fan/player relationship. It’s a us against them mentality and Southgate is poking that fire. He knows by taking “the blame” that the players will respond by defending him whole heartedly. A few years down the line they’ll look back and regret it.

Bellingham's vulgar gesture and "Who else" proclamation, as if he is the messiah, are signs that things are going in the wrong direction. The fact he thinks the performances so far are a sign that people are talking 'rubbish' also shows an arrogance and out of touch conceit which will soon have the public turn on him.
