Southgate has to go! But, he will spin this out until his multi-million pound contract is paid up. He is just as much a football mercenary as anyone else. Prince William is President of the Football Association. Let that sink in.

@@treble20 You do know Southgate is the most successful England manager ever right? I'm really just mystified at the lack of intellect football fans are displaying here. Do you really think England are entitled to win every tournament despite the fact they have done so once in a hundred years?

How is that sense??? What is he proposing, that England keep Southgate on until Klopp feels ready to take another job? Or sack Southgate and leave the position empty for Klopp to hopefully fill when he feels ready? It's a nonsense suggestion which is unrealistic.

[@adrianbennett3761]

Southgate didn’t use his substitutes properly even when it was obvious that certain players were poor or tired. Harry Kane has been substandard from game one.

[@honeybadger9425]

More about tactics really England didn’t adapt and stop Spain from passing out from the back, a top manager like Klopp or Jose would have made their back line a lot more uncomfortable on ball by changing things during that match if that was happening that’s why they top managers

[@pretentiouscritic6513]

"Southgate didn’t use his substitutes properly" Listen Dave this doesn't work by some guy pulling an idea out of his behind. Southgate would have had statisticians and game theorists to look into this and work out what the optimal decision was. He didn't just go with his gut like some kind of terrible American action movie.That's not how the real world works. For the same reasons brain surgeons don't lope bits of your brain off at random. I don't think you people understand how awful it sounds when you attempt to formulate a thought about this stuff.

[@fnd-ub9th]

Even if they did it would make little difference. In the 2026 World Cup both Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal will be even better, Spain will have back Gavi who is an absolute monster, Olmo, Rodri, Fabian etc. will still be around...

[@richardjones8699]

We may still not be good enough, but it would give us a better chance.

[@SCW_Fitness]

Footballs an interesting sport. Yamal might have peaked. I also think at the start of the tournament, the only one of those players who would’ve gotten into the England 11 is Rodri. Nico Williams probably taken ahead of Gordon. But I think the issue is mostly a tactical one. One that cannot be fixed in a short time frame but likely requires 1-2 years. A coach with a certain philosophy and playing style is needed for that.

@@gunzlepug The og was about Pickford who is a GOAL KEEPER, not an outfield player. His "hoofing" the ball forward had nothing to do with England's ability to keep possession, but Pickford's inability to use the ball at feet quickly enough to allow defenders/midfielders to play out. Do try to keep up, eh?

[@gunzlepug]

@@gillie-monger3394 Nonsense. He often had plenty of time with the ball but simply opted to kick it upfield.

Can't believe Southgate played pretty much the same team in the group stages after we had already qualified.. why not play the players that were also in the squad, to see how they played..might have learnt something.. I compare Southgates style of playing the same old players, to someone who tries 100 times to open a lock with the wrong key.. it didn't open ot 1st time, 2nd time, 20th time, or 99th time so why keep trying the same key!!?

Pep Guardiola has been at Man City for almost 10 years. He has had arguably the best club in Europe every single year, and the last time I checked he has won just ONE champions league.

[@colman3411]

I think xavi is the perfect replacement and i think he would take the job. Hear me out..... He did a solid, although slightly underwhelming, job at Barca under extremely difficult circumstances. He kept barca competitive despite financial constraints, relative to the big clubs they compete with. He brought through youth like gavi, pedri and yamal....amongst others...and played in a brave attractive way. His tactical understanding is very high and he has the x factor that demands respect from the biggest footballing stars of which England have many. Players like TAA, Stones, Guehi, Mainoo, Rice, Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Palmer, Eze, Wharton and many others who weren't even taken are extremely technical players who play high pressing attacking football for their clubs and want to play that way for England. It would take only a few training camps for england to transform the way they play and become a fearful team. On xavi, where does he go from Barcelona if not England? If he wants to be an elite manager up their with the very best? He may want to manage in the PL one day but his experience of english football is not yet at a level where he could know he can take on a PL club and win. England gives him the opportunity to gain this experience and show he can win. And win he would. At a time where england are crying out for an attacking manager with winning mentality and experience and a time where xavi is struggling to see what his next step would be following a difficult yet well executed job at Barcelona. I think the stars are aligned and everyone benfits after a four year stint. England would get the success this generation deserves and the footballing philosophy that enables them to throw caution to the wind because of the fear they generate whilst xavi is able to build on his managerial experience, remain in the glittering spotlight and not become forgotten, learn the english game and open up a new job market for himself through implementing a winning philosophy into an unbelievably talented group of players who already are bred to play football in this expansive way. Finally and perhaps most importantly, he isnt going to upset the apple cart, he is professional, never controversial, good with media and a poster boy. The FA wins from this appointment too. Food for thought i cant believe more people arent saying it

What’s the point of international football if half your players aren’t ethnically English and neither is the manager. Might as well just watch club football.

[@LordHighness]

Completely agree. It's getting so diluted it's becoming meaningless.

[@boshankers12]

@@LordHighness thank you. I don’t know how the French support their team. It’s just an African nations team at this point.

England ladies don't have an English manager

If not Klopp, Eddie Howe maybe.

[@jameshansing5396]

lol. He won’t do it either. Our options are likely: Moutumho, Dyche or potter lol

[@lukelocks9083]

Klopp would be brilliant for ENG, he knows the English spirit so well, though I don't think he'd touch it, due to the English media. Could you imagine how much a certain newspaper would be chomping at the bit to criticise him! The stick previous ENG managers got from the press was so out of order, Turnip Taylor etc, the problem with having a foreign manager is they are easy targets when things aren't going well, which they must know that themselves.

[@LordHighness]

The main reason he won't touch it is because as he has said numerous times, he's not interested in taking any management job right now, he's having an indefinite break! End of.

I've never seen Jim more happy 😂

You've never seen him on the 'pop' then!

[@LordHighness]

Typical Scot. Their own team is total dog shite so the only happiness they can get is from watching their neighbours fail. Pathetic mentality.

[@leodoherty5304]

Why do people make out that England are a great side? It's only half a world cup after all.

[@ThreeLions82]

Why would you want a guy that doesn't have his heart in it?

[@nissarpa1259]

I'd pick KLOPP anytime if he's available. If you ask which is more pressure for Klopp to coach - his country germany or England, then his answer would be germany which will be more pressure. But if you ask him to choose from these two countries it'll be still germany if they don't have a coach at that time. But I still feel why not try Klopp, he knows how the english players will behave how the press are. He pretty well know the current english squad . He'll have the respect of players & fans. Try him because he's available.

[@jonwilliam3597]

Klopp would be a great manager for England if he could be persuaded. I believe we have the talent just not the leadership.

[@SongofIceandTea]

England and the US believe they should signed Jurgen Klopp, Jurgen Klopp believe these guys are mad 🤣

[@jjmanning8621]

Players want him to carry on they know he'll pick his favorites

[@keithryan3528]

jordan said last Monday he hope England would lose so he would not have to give Southgate any credit. so shock horror he wants him gone.

[@TomBerishaj]

Klopp is a 2nd place specialist, so he could pick up right where Southgate has left off.

[@chd1694]

Get gareth to do the PR and get klopp to do the coaching and tactics

[@Philip-x3d]

Even being a MANU fan, I would go along with that. HARRY REDKNAPP would be my choice tho. He doesn't bog players down with over elaborate tactics and lets them express their ability when on the ball. Just look how he transformed Gareth Bale from an OK full back into one of the best attacking midfielders Britain has ever produced. He backed Bale and told him he was the greatest, so when he went on the field, he believed in himself.
