Kay sees football very different to me. An xG of .53 in a final with Palmer, Kane, Bellingham, Saka, Watkins, Foden and Rice/Mainoo screening a defence is quite frankly dire.

[@THEremiXFACTOR]

His assessment of the match is pretty clueless.

[@TheKrostiman]

Rating Southgate as a manager is purely focused on results but they wilfully ignore all underlying data, the failed eye tests, but the data and how it looks has always been bad. Furthermore the Insanely lucky tournament draw, the insanely lucky results against weaker teams again completely ignored

[@jcd-kh7rn]

agree. I also think that performances in earlier eras such as England in '90 or '96 vs a strong Germany side or vs Argentina/Maradona in '86 or Brazil in '02 have to be given greater weight than seeing off largely inferior opposition in Southgate's era. You can't just say that Southgate's got to a couple of Euro finals so he's the best England manager since Alf Ramsay. Venables had more tactical acumen than Southgate but he wasn't allowed to continue in the role. If Southgate hadn't missed the penalty then Venables may well have joined him in reaching a Euro final.

[@redmed10]

The importance of being lucky rather than good overtook everything. It overrode the evidence of all the bad play that we saw throughout the tournament. When you see a lowly ranked passing your team off the park you can ignore it if it does not result in a goal or shot being conceded. You can denounce it as ticky tacky bs.

The simplest of football fans can just look at results and surface level stats like wins, losses, goals, assists - a lot of lazy online discourse is this when discussing players ability. We listen to 'analysts', 'experts', and 'pundits' etc for deeper analysis of performances - yet when it comes to Southgate, further analysis is always dismissed because it is international football & we've been poor for so long. Yeah, great, he is the most "successful"... so what? He has underperformed. It has resulted in zero trophies and relegation in the nations league. And bored us to death in the process. Stop celebrating mediocrity.

This is a PR piece for Gareth Southgate so obvious. France and England had the most talented squads and failed because their coaches couldn’t get them to play football. Spain played the best and most positive football - their win was a win for football.

[@ilexx876]

Somebody would have to explain to me why Graham Potter is not the best person for the job. IMO he has proven that he has the best style of play for an English manager. Eddie Howe is the closest one as an English coach, some might argue he is better but he won't leave Newcastle for the England job unless they fire him, so the next best option is Potter who is free.

[@jcd-kh7rn]

I'm a Potter fan from his time at Brighton and I don't hold it against him for leaving. My concern about him is he is very sensitive to criticism. Even at Brighton that was obvious and it became even more clear at Chelsea where it really appeared to affect him. I just don't think the high profile nature of the role and any negative feedback he receives will suit him. I get he would look to be more on the front foot than Southgate in his style of play and would be more tactically flexible. Personally I'm not bothered whether the manager is English or not. Just bring in the best candidate.

[@ilexx876]

@@jcd-kh7rn I can take that on board because he did look like a deer in headlights quite a bit at Chelsea but he's going to have to get tougher skin one way or another if he wants to be eligible for these bigger managerial jobs. For me, it's Potter or Eddie Howe but unless something changes at Newcastle in the next 6 months, I don't see Eddie Howe leaving and Potter is available right now and his style of football and tactical flexibility is exactly what England needs right now. The talent is there, England just needs a coach who can harness the potential within the squad. I don't think the manager absolutely has to be English but it would be a nice touch for an English man to bring England back to glory.

Southgate has had a very good tenure in the job. It's worth pointing out though, since comparisons to previous reigns are being made, that in previous times, far fewer teams made it into the Euros and World Cup tournaments, making both qualifications and navigating the group stages much tougher than now.

[@atmyyoutube]

Southgate is reasonably good at dealing with people. His mistakes were few in this department: sticking to Maguire, Phillips and Henderson, not putting Bellingham into a proper place (Bellingham is a Prima Donna that needs to come back to earth if he wants to be part of something with this squad). But on a tactical level he lacked a plan. During his whole tenure actually. He should have brought an assistant to do it.

[@richardwillford2418]

Southgate has stumbled his way into finals and semis since 2018, with squads that with the right manager could have sailed through. The team against Spain was easily as good as its opponents, but somehow lacks the confidence, and most certainly lacks a solid game plan. Southgate is the perfect No.2. Creates a good atmosphere, gets all the needed prerequisites in place, setting up for a REAL boss to arrive and take charge. This was apparent from the start, years ago.

If England wants to move forward and win tournaments. They have to understand that it is not possible to play Bellingham, Foden, and Kane together unless they have incredible wing backs and a more mobile DM than Rice. They all lack pace and need quick players to function. Bellingham works at Real Madrid because they have Vini and Rodrygro up front. Similar to Bellingham, Kane only function with fast wingers alongside him. And Foden works at City because Guardiol and Bernardo pushes high and wide to provide opportunities on half spaces. And of course, Pep’s system is very methodical and requires precise training. If Southgate does not realised this after a review of tournament. Then he is not the right man to make England more successful.

I think Southgate has done well to steady the ship and create that club affect and overall has built a really good foundation. But I think his average abilities only allow him to get the team hitting 75% of their potential. I don't think he should be sacked, it would be a waste to lose him, but I do think he should go upstairs as more of a technical director style role and bring in someone like Howe or Potter (who is available) who have more club experience and tactical nous.

People can absolutely watch 7 games of Kane walking about the pitch, getting no shots off, whilst saying everyday he’s fit, and assume he’s past it for England. It’s a fair critique. I don’t agree with it but to be so poor has cost us. That game time could of give Toney or Watkins momentum

NOT Gareth Southgate or his coaching or tactics. Playing a low block no wingers a slow forward and waiting for individual brilliance to win you games is not being tactically astute and is not the qualities or traits of a top winning manager. Someone like klopp would not have to manage the England team because they already play the way he would want them to play for there club sides. What klopp has is a big enough personality and the authorite within the game to drop any star players he needs to drop to get the right balance in the team and the tactical awareness to make in game decisions at the right moments and uses all the bench at vital times to win games and trophies!

I find those who cry out for “attacking football”, want a “coach that plays attacking football” or go on about “progressive football” to suffer from a low IQ or just don’t understand the sport they love. To me there is no such thing as attacking football or defensive football. To me it’s all just space management. If you look at all England games this tournament especially the boring draws of the group stages and the Slovakia game, England dominated all the games in terms of possession and shots. They couldn’t get goals due to the defensive efforts of the other team sitting back and stopping high quality chances. We should be letting the other team take the initiative and risk so we can then go all out when they make an error. It’s just too easy for other teams to get a result if England insist on “progressive, possession attacking football”.

[@matthewdobson100]

apart from basketball only has 5 players on a much smaller area of play and individuals can have significantly greater impacts. Even then Jordon needed Pippen, Rodman and the other underapreciated players to enable him to do what he did. Also there was significant angst between Jordon and some of his teammates, notably Pippen, that emerged later if they weren't apparent at the time to those in the know. It required a high class coach to make that Bulls team with all those personalities work, which ultimatley England didn't appear to have, which is odd given that a lot of Southgates success previously had been put down to creating a good environment for the players to succeed. Bellinghams attitude has been off for a while, and there have been signs of it before the tournament. People excusing it because they think we 'need' arrogance to succeed are just blind to the issues that it can cause. Bellingham needs to stop believing the hype and get back to letting his football do the talking. Frankly if you're that good you don't need to celebrate by mouthing "who else" and you don't put out that advert. It deeply disrespects the rest of the team.

[@realtalk8665]

If England were so concerned about creating team harmony the squad being built around equality then Jordan Henderson should of been captain other Southgate era about not Harry Kane. We all know why Kane was picked as captain ahead of a guy who ended up winning everything at Liverpool. They wanted kane to be the golden boy. The desperation for Kane to be this England golden boy has cost them the euros just like it cost spurs the champions League. Bellingham has emerged over this time period and is becoming this icon at rapid rate for his age. Very interesting that Jude isn't treated like a young player compared to Foden who is 5 years older than him. Lets put this in perspective Bellingham is younger than players like Harvey Elliott. It's deeply unfair to be hammering this kid because he has set himself a high bar. The biggest disrespect I saw in the England team was Phil Foden coming of the left side to pick the ball literally off Trent Alexander Arnold feet to try and start an attack which made him redundant and destroyed the formation. So Kay should be asking questions around the defiance to play Foden and Kane at all cost which affected the squad.

Let’s hope it’s the last game we see Gareth in charge as we won’t win anything if he was even with twenty world class players in the squad.

[@matthewdobson100]

so, for the first goal who was Walker supposed to mark - the player running towards the centre of the penalty area (Olmo) or the one stuck out wide on the wing? Just because you're the 'right back' doesn't mean you have to just mark their 'left winger' the whole time, he went with the greater threat at the time, which is what you have to do sometimes. you can make a case somone else should have taken Olmo (Mainoo or Rice possibly) but at the time there basically wasn't anyone since the breakdown defensively on our left meant that Spain had bypassed our entire midfield and left back in two passes. If Walker stays wide to account for Williams then Olmo has an even easier chance in the middle.
