[@Ghfjgjggj123shdhfnfmdk]

The same reason England don't produce players like Kroos, Xavi, Busquets, Jorginho, Rodri, Guardiola, Arteta, Ødegaard, KDB, Messi. Players that can read the game like the back of their hand, are incredibly intelligent, are usually unbelievable passers and that's mostly why they're so good.

A delegation of a few from the English FA went to Barcelona to learn how to play the way that they did. This was when Pep Guardiola was there. One of the coaches who went over, a top coach himself, who carries out training courses for coaches, really enjoyed the experience. He learned a lot and raved about all that he had learnt and what he had seen. When speaking to him personally about his trip, I realised things would never change and that there was a fundamental flaw. This coach revealed to me his overwhelming weakness which was his pride. Although there are some genuine people at the FA. A lot do not recognise that they themselves are the problem. There are people who are humble, clever and honest enough to want something better but they are outnumbered. Too many people at the FA are too close minded, stubborn, arrogant, have inaccurate preconceived ideas, are overconfident and do not have much imagination. This makes them very limited in what they can perceive, understand, learn, conceive, create, nurture and develop. They restrict coaches and managers in an environment which tightly guards the status quo. They neither produce or harbour positive or progressive change. It's probably better for English coaches and managers to have a loose but friendly association with the FA and to develop themselves beyond doubt.

What I've seen of their reporting on England this tournament has been initially a lot of hype about the "favourites" etc, and then has been a lot of asking about "what is the plan?", criticising Southgate and the form of the English squad... basically it's been quite fairly asking why they're not living up to expectation so far

[@azapro911]

As this tournament has gone on to prove, Southgate's managerial style isn't a problem. Portugal got Georgia and Slovenia back-to-back, couldn't manage a single goal outside of spot kicks. France have generally been the best side in the world for nearly a decade. One goal from open play the whole time they were in Germany. ONE. Stakes get higher, scrutiny gets more intense for mistakes, perceived 'lesser' nations continue to improve.

[@stumbling]

England needs to build their play around one man... not Jude Bellingham, nor Harry Kane, nor any of the multitude of attacking talent we have at our disposal. No, the one man we need to anchor our strategy around is Declan Rice. Rice is both a rampant defensive midfielder and probably England's second best passer of the ball, behind Harry Kane. Playing Rice just in front of the defensive line allows him to bolster the defence while also acting as a "quarter-back", firing long passes from deep midfield up to the strikers and out to the wings-a similar role to the great Andrea Pirlo. Rice's midfield partner Gallagher/Mainoo has the role in this strategy of creating space for Rice. Both players are suited to this role in different ways: Gallagher can press the opposition midfield, forcing them to give up space that Rice can then exploit. Mainoo can push the ball forward, opening up space behind him for Rice to drop into.

[@in4mus85]

Lol second best passer of the ball? Rice passes sideways too much to have such plaudits. Trent is much better at passing than him. The issue is that England under Southgate have zero off the ball movement. No runs in behind the opposition defence. I'll agree that Rice and Bellingham are the best midfielders in the squad. But Rice is great because of his positioning, tackling and ball carrying ability. Not so much his passing range.

[@he_football]

What I wonder is are England really as good as fans think? Or do they just have a lot of players from the most star studded league in the world, benefitting from working under world class managers?

[@ExplicitRenz]

It's not the fans Bellingham won player of the year in la liga Kane won it in bundesliga Foden won it in the prem Get something more original pal!

[@Greimor967]

In terms of just quality? I think kane, Bellingham and foden genuinely are world class, they just aren't being played to their strengths. I think their club form and individual performances prove as much.

[@sharingiscaring1952]

I've noticed they sit deep, in order to expand the field and counter the low block. But it is very messy, and becomes a 50/50 challenge very often. But it stops them from being overloaded and not counters. That's why the defence looks good, because they often have the numbers. It's an alternative to the high line press. It's very weird and unorthodox

[@akhsdenlew1861]

@@Greimor967 Not just these 3... Saka, Rice, Walker... a lot of talent in that squad.

We know we have a team that Can contend. And we believe that even if we cannot win it and go all the way, we can put up a solid fight - Assuming we play our best game. And right now, we are not there. It is the managers job to make these individuals work together - and he is not doing it. Nobody in England ever TRULY expects to win a tournement, yea we shout the usual 'its coming home' but it carries as miuch weight as 'god save the king'. If you take it literally then you are missing the point. We believe we can play a solid game when we are at our best, and we could probably give some top teams a run for their money, but no. We know the chances of us winning are slim, even at our best. And we are far FAR from our best. There is a reason Englands name is throw in contention - because the potential (on paper) is always there - but southgate is incapable of making it work. think about it. the front 4 in the England squad have between them: 114 goals the Laliga player of the season A Ballon Dor contender The top bundesliga scorer The EPL 2nd and 4th top scorers The Laliga joint 3rd top scorer The EPL player of the year The EPL young talent of the year Now any half decent manager could make THAT work - Southgate is clueless.

[@iikmuhamadiqbal8409]

If I am a England manager, my player will be: Pickford Walker/Arnold (defending you need to more attack or defend) Stones Guehi Trippier Declan Rice Foden Bellingham Saka Kane Grelish (Unfortunately he is not in the squad). This will be more attack from wider wing and player to attack via flank.

[@projectvamshi3078]

Park the bus is a style used by teams who don't have the pure quality to overcome their opponents, it can work pretty well when you are fighting opposition with far better players. Many teams found success using this style were from the 2000's/2010's. (Inter Milan 2010, Chelsea 05/06, Atletico mid 2010's etc). All of these teams were 'underdogs' so as to say. Now, England has the best squad depth in the world, why the hell would anyone try and play park the bus with them? Mourinho and Simeone, were the main users of this tactic but times have evolved, there is a reason why Mourinho can't find a job in a top 5 league and why Simeone has had to change up his tactics. Parking the bus itself isn't the best strategy nowadays, you can never truly be safe vs top tier opposition. Many times, it leads to you losing games you should have won easily. It's far harder to just keep on defending assaults in modern football. Southgate was appointed in 2016, when England had just lost to Iceland and had a pretty average squad and he did a great job too. But, the England squad depth has grown exponentially now, and so have playstyles. Southgate can never hope to beat a strong team with these type of tactics

[@lutjemuller9753]

Lets not forget that, in the end, football is an entertainment product as much as it is a sports competition. When the game becomes boring people will eventually stop watching which would lead to less generated revenue. We might be way past the point of this being a real danger, but still, Id like to think that football is a game for the people and should be played in a way that entertains those.

[@aubreyfowler5111]

Even a championship club wouldn't appoint Southgate for their manager

[@alifredy5945]

Southgate pissed me off even before Euro2024 starts by dropping Rashford and sterling Harry Kane needs runners to play with him instead of CAMs because he likes to drop and link up games, however Gordon has to start the next games because he is the only player who can run behind the defenders.

[@SamerA3737]

I was thinking the exact same thing. As for left back, how did they not select any LBs?!

[@alifredy5945]

@@SamerA3737And that's another stupid mistake he made. The guy and his coaching staff are weak. Any left back option, whether good or average, will be better than an injured Luke Shaw or Trippier, and I don't know how he missed Leif Davis, Ipswich town LB. The guy had 18 assists in championship, won player of the season and will play in the EPL next season.

[@broshowvlogs9151]

It's quite saddening that England made it to the quarters and a teams like Italy (better than England) were knocked out.

[@TheReconJacob]

Sorry but Italy was utter crap this tournament, even worse than England. They were a fantastic team in Euro 2020 but had such a fast downfall. England dominated them in the Euro qualifiers and Italy were at risk of not even qualifying. England have not been playing well in this tournament, but Italy has been far worse.

[@broshowvlogs9151]

Entertainment value, I think Italy was decent...

[@paddipat]

​@@broshowvlogs9151nah they were also boring. In the match against Switzerland they got nothing to put on the table, it was really disappointing.

[@richardloach610]

We did well in quarter final, semi and rightfully won. In the final we played the best we could and just fell short against a really good Spanish side. All in all, England were predicted to be 1st or 2nd and it all worked out as predicted

[@norneaernourn8240]

Frankly as a football fan, I just want to watch proper football. Not fvcking seniors' rugby with players passing sideways and backwards, and then stroll around on the pitch. That tempo, low intensity and sitting deep is so reminiscent of the Italian teams of the 80s. But at least when those teams spring a break, they go for it. Southgate is so concerned with keeping his defensive shape, it's basically frustrate the hell out of your opponent and hopefully one of your stars do something magical.

[@KarlSkorger]

lmfaoooo...real English supporters were expecting nothing before the tournament....lucky is the right word to use my dear sir.

[@timbonagasaki5436]

Thanks for the level-headed video. Southgate clearly wants to defend and nick a goal here and there. It may work but it doesn't deliver passion or excitement. The sooner he goes the better

[@richardcoffer4758]

Football all looks as real as professional wrestling at the moment.

[@tonyng1600]

i just think southgate style is good for england team because they dont have world class defense, they always have world class attackers. he might be overcompensating defense by sacrificing offense and makes it hard to watch, but he win games, so the strategy works

[@tombartram7384]

Yeah, brilliant. Stick to baseball.

[@torqueRxF]

I watched the match vs Slovakia. Slovakia kept on attacking and England just sat back, didn't even bother to press.

3 words to describe Southgate: waistcoat Lucky overcritcised. Like it or not this man has taken England to more Semi Finals And Finals than the past England managers!!! This is fact, regardless of what you think if their style of play. Boring, cowardice, call if what you want but You can't not give Southgate his flowers.

[@gwdyon]

Since 2016, in 2 World Cups and 2 Euros (so far) England has beaten only Germany among top tier teams. When England played other big teams, like France, Belgium (twice), and Croatia, it lost. He even managed to lose a final at home...and he has arguably had the most talented generation of players since the Golden generation in the early 2000s...that's Southgate's secret...in big tournaments, he is the luckiest England manager who ever lived...

[@iceman4660]

My working theory is that England are trying to win the Euros while being one of the worst teams to there. Following the template set by Portugal and Italy. Southgates' approach is to not lose rather than try to win.

[@rizinhokasa]

I think I failed to mention that every time England has advanced in tournament with Southgate they had the easier draw, not dissing on the teams they competed against but none of them have been contenders to win. First time they see a difficult draw they struggle.

Luck runs out and I think this will be the case tonight. Southgate has been ridiculously lucky over the course of his "reign". As an Englander myself, I've yet to be impressed by a single performance during his tenure, we've been ridiculously lucky and if we had a competent Manager, I think we could've easily won two of those tournaments due to the fortunate nature of the fixtures.

It makes me wonder what Southgate has been up to for the last 12 months, its pretty obvious he needed a replacement for Luke Shaw! His team selection was ridiculous not taking left footed players! He's F..ked up big time and he knows it, and now he's trying to make the best of it by playing defensive and hoping for a moment of magic off Kane, Bellingham etc to save the game!

[@KidneyJones]

What are your thoughts on an entire generation of footballers (players born in the early 90s) were skipped and didn't get a chance to stamp their generation into football history bcos of the longevity of the players in the generation before them (mid-late 80s)?
