Can Southgate Actually FIX England?! | Monday Vibes

[@FootballDaily]

Give us your predictions for England v Switzerland and Spain v Germany in the quarter-finals!👇

[@adrian_vsk7203]

Switzerland 2 - 0 England. Switzerland will defend well and score in the first half. England will try score late in the second half but be exposed and Switzerland will score again on a break.

[@nickwoodward819]

1 - 0 England, Southgate will continue as manager, and another generation of talent will be lost.

[@Bkesal14]

England will defo win. Unfortunately we're in this situation now where they'll continue to get results despite being brutal to watch in my opinion. Switzerland will outplay them and lose. Germany Spain is tough to call but both could be exposed at the back at times. 2-2 and Spain AET.

[@thefootballpunnedit]

“I’d go unchanged” is mental. How can changing it be worse than what it is?

[@BigMadAndy]

Walker has been less than anonymous, Trippier slows the game down and doesnt progress play, Foden on the left was a failed experiment 3 games ago.

[@Neosisl]

Southgate has to bench Foden or Bellingham. We can't play with 2 10s. They both want the ball and run with the ball and can't stretch a backline. Let Gordon have a game.

[@BiggestChungus21]

It’s not gonna be Bellingham. It would be brave of Southgate though to bench the best player in the world. And people are clamoring for bravery from him. It would be stupid but very brave

[@rickyf3628]

Bellinghams been shit in that position. Time to drop him and give Foden a go at 10

[@athishujmao2654]

Should have picked chilwell & Mitchell over shaw & trippier. Chilwell is very attacking minded so would be perfect against that sits back. And Mitchell can be picked when playing against a talented winger

[@Phil2109]

Big up the guys at football daily. England. For me, Southgate should have picked another left back. I personally felt it was criminal he didn't take one. Tripper is a decent fullback, but he is better in his natural position on the right. With Foden there also not playing in his normal position, it leaves Tripper exposed. With Kyle Walker on the other side, ageing. If England were to play a team such as Spain with decent forwards, they would be torn to sheds. But all these weaknesses at the back are being brought to fruition due to Southgates' team selection tatics and intent, which seem a lot similar to Conte. In the aspect of if we take the league, sit back and try and protect what we have rather than going for the kill. The problem is that sitting back and inviting pressure gives the opposition the impetus, and when if they do eventually break England down, the momentum will often lead them to score a second. For example, Italy at the last Euros It is often difficult to switch between a mindset of being defensive and going offensive.

[@nickwoodward819]

Was just thinking the other day - You guys should 100% be doing videos where you're watching games together with Zac/Joe/and that grumpy arsenal fan/Dad. Would love it :D

[@brianmcevilly6306]

Have to say the way the players and Southgate have spoken in the press is completely embarrassing (except Anthony Gordon tbf) the way they act like they have been completely terrible for five straight games and they have some god concept where they think they are above criticism. Everyone in any walk of like gets criticised for poor performances but apparently the best players and favourites of the tournament shouldn’t be for playing like shambles. They’ve clearly not watched back any of the games or if they have must’ve fallen asleep during it and anybody would’ve struggled to aswell.

[@harryrogers7945]

Rice take is incredibly harsh, had one really poor game but the rest have been decent and at times good. Putting the blame on midfield dysfunction on him is absurd

With all due respect to Dougie and Mccubs (seriously because you guys are OGs) I don’t understand how England fans are still going to bat for Southgate. His squad selection was ok at best picking mostly obvious names with some shocking decisions particularly in defense imo. His tactic is truly truly horrific, it’s slow and boring and has next to no offensive output. I don’t understand how you can have a front four of Kane, Bellingham, Saka and Foden among so many others and have that stagnant of an offense. That’s not on the players, they’re out there doing everything they can I mean Kane literally dropped into defense a couple times to pick up the ball lmao. And I still don’t understand how England fans can still underrate Kane. He is the entire attack and has been for years, in the past it’s been oh it’s Sterling and now it’s oh it’s Bellingham but it’s ALWAYS been Kane because he does everything. I’m a neutral so I have no personal bias towards or against England and every game I watch Kane is running the show so I genuinely don’t know what Dougie is on about lol. I just don’t understand how fans still think Southgate is the guy. Give them any type of modern minded coach with some fresh tactics and they win any competition they’re in. I mean imagine Ange with that squad…his commentary the other night was outstanding imagine how lethal that offense attack would be with him at the helm??

[@luisenriquelander8044]

Play a back 3 with 2 wingbacks (Trent and Saka) Rice and Jude in the middle Foden on the right, Gordon left, Kane up top.

[@SuperElninotorres]

I’d throw Barnes against Brazil in there with gazza and Joe Cole’s goals and David platt turning volley

[@JKnight23]

Englands worst performance of the tournament. In the group stages the issue was the front three but this game our midfield was getting walked through and our defence was making their average press look great. Then the late subs leaving below par players on the pitch for so long after we went 1-0 down! Shambles

[@danruss12338]

A few things. Trippier and Foden doesn't work, that needs changing. Maybe a chance to 352 (3412) GK - Pickford Cb's - Walker, Stones and Konsa Lwb - Saka Rwb - Trend Cm's - Rice and Mainoo Cam - Jude St's - Kane and Toney It's a risk, but surely a risk worth taking? Also I don't agree with the Rice statement, and it's typical with a player of his nature, he's been doing the dirty work in midfield, tackling and being the man to sit there. Yes ok he could maybe venture forward a little more, but if he does it leaves the midfield far to exposed. I think saying he's been below par this tournament is a little harsh. And yes Switzerland beat Italy last time, but Italy were absolutely god awful and have been all tournament, aside from a wonder goal against Scotland they did struggle against them, it was an even game. I just don't think this Swiss side is as good as people make out and shouldn't be feared as much as people are. Granted we aren't playing well, but it can click and looks like it could very soon.

[@danielboulton922]

I thought that was a good point. I don’t think the criticism is unfair but it has been particularly harsh.

[@frederickcapella6564]

Drops a stinker of a performance, then pops up with a goal last minute. RM DNA hard at work lol

[@jhaych]

Stones has also been extremely poor

[@armandocepeda9400]

Southgate should do a 3-4-3, play Kyle walker as a CB and saka and Trent or trippier as the wing backs, Mainoo, Rice, Bellingham, and Palmer on the left, Foden on the right.

[@alfieee2279]

i think rice played pretty well against slovakia tbh, i agree he wasn't anywhere near his best in the group matches but I think he played fine against slovakia, the issue was actually the defense in this game rather than the midfield, walker and trippier diasterclass

[@matthewjames5635]

Rice been ok except for one game but he needs the consistency of playing with a cdm not trent a RB or Gallagher a busy cm! Rice and mainoo the way forward

[@rhyssokolski]

[@jrb614]

No we win despite him not because of him and we have some of the best players in the world Prem winners, CL winners, a LaLiga winner we should be playing players in there natural position

[@brandongardener5120]

Southgate's overall team selection is ultimately what has led to this awful tournament if someone wasn't fit in Shaw why pick him. We rode our luck heavily against Slovakia and the Swiss will punish us if we play that badly again. Foden and Bellingham have been awful for so long and just because Bellingham scored only papers over the cracks we have cause both of them haven't been good enough. We don't deserve to be in the QF but we are and now we really are gonna find out what we are made of against an inform and very impressive Switzerland side.

I dont think you own him that but you should stop whinning about him. 1st England was the clear favourite (despite having just a good squad (your defense is average)) then everthing is how he is shit. Now Switzerland is favourite vs England. Get a grip... Hes not a great coach but nor are the majority of the coaches in the euro. R. Martinez's Portugal has lost to Slovenia in a friendly (who we are going to face now) and to Georgia, yet no 1 in Portugal is talking 24x7 how hes shit...

[@benmorris118]

Does he even know it needs fixing? He seems clueless, just standing and waiting for something to happen, while he has a loaded hand

[@nostalgeomusic]

I think we need to talk about how refereeing and the new rules have sucked so much from the game. Players cannot say anything (literally anything) to the referees without getting booked...

Why is no one criticizing the “golden child saka” is england third best rw but keeps foden out of position and palmer on the bench it is a joke..

[@owendallison6913]

Stats aren’t everything, obviously. But check Rice’s stats from yesterday. Without him we lose the game. Three midfield partners in 4 games. Is he the common denominator? Maybe. But you could also say change and uncertainty are also common denominators. Platt vs Belgium is the closest to Bellinghams goal. Played badly, didn’t deserve to win, then a stunner

[@austingane4025]

Quite a few players had over 90% passes completed but that doesn’t mean they passed well. What we saw on the pitch is the biggest indicator of quality of performance, and it was crap from pretty much every player bar the subs.

[@matthewadams4097]

[@studentloandebt7598]

Rashford pace in behind would be crucial for a team that can build through the middle, just play that route one football that Southgate only knows

[@123daniel4]

The problem is that these guys talking are no different to Southgate. He ask the question do you take off Foden for a quarter final. Why not? He said safer option. The safer option is to do nothing like Southgate is doing. A bunch of cowards the lot of them. Ooh I'm a gent and I will have a cup of tea ooh. So out of touch. We need a Roy Keene or Stuart Pierce type or a Scottish or Irish anyone but these coward types. I know it sounds terrible or wild but this cowardice doesn't look good for England. Where is the brave? Southgate is lucky he has great players like Saka and now Bellingham who have excelled and made it look like he knows what he's doing. But the subs or lack of is cowardice. He brought Tony on in injury time. I doubt we'll see Tony again. We will see Foden and Kane. He said Bellingham avoids criticism despite scoring the winner and a bicycle kick recently but Foden will play. These guys don't have a clue. They mention Spain and Yamal when be don't give Gordon a sniff despite how ineffective Foden has been. They are happy to see Foden continue to waste multiple opportunities. Key word COWARDICE.

[@jpichardo2285]

Not trying to make excuses for Bellingham but he does look very tired in the games I’ve seen him play for England.

Not taking a Fit natural LB is a disgraceful decision! He should have taken Chilwell because he's at least fit and ready to play Shaw never was

[@thefootballpunnedit]

Rice Henry would do twice the job but it’s not glitzy enough to take a solid Brentford left back. And I support Forest so no bias there.

Tyrick Mitchell should've been given at least a friendly match, prior to the Euros. Chilwell looked crap, TBF. Taking an injured Shaw and no other LB is mental.

[@keitholiver6152]

how can you not highlight Southgate's horrific tactical naivety? he has the tools to play good football, but is picking stars instead of profiles to fit the system. His system and style is awful too btw. I don't think he genuinely sees, or understands how to fix our issues. Like a lack of balance, specifically on the left wing. A lack of runners in behind, or to stretch the pitch/game, which compliments Kane. We pass sideways and back aimlessly. Absolutely embarrassing to witness The worst and most heinous crime on Southgate's head is not utilising his star winger Anthony Gordon. You see Nico Williams playing for Spain. This guy is not a better footballer than Anthony Gordon. They are very similar profiles, both elite level lw
