[@markw7899]

Absolute spot on - couldn't agree more. I don't believe we can win the Euros with Southgate in charge. He's scared and a bottler when it comes to taking risk.

[@Guru316]

Gareth Southgate has mastered gas lighting to a tee. He knows exactly why people are booing and are getting frustrated at his squad selections, but he's managed to obtain one hell of an ego in the last few years. There are a number of players he should choose based on recent performances...Nick Pope, James Ward-Prowse, Solly March, Ben White to name a few. Pickford is lucky to still be a premier league goalkeeper and hasn't been good for a couple of seasons, yet he's the first name of the team sheet in competitive games, while you have 2 goalkeepers who helped get their teams into the top 4 last season, and one of them can't even get in the squad. It's crazy.

[@fayesouthall6604]
