He's a loser, mentally weak as his penalty miss against Germany showed. Not cut out to be a manager. People can go on about the WC semi final and Euro final but tactically he was shocking in both games when the going got tough. Has an excellent group of players but doesn't know what he's doing with them.
I'm not excusing that at all!. I'm saying we should be playing at Wembley, and that we never lose like that there.
To be honest I don't really give a flying fck but he's had a lot of success compared to to rest, hay ho, roll on L1
Well, I don't usually watch England games but that was damn funny. Well done! Might watch next time too. Best comedy I have seen since er, Oakwell
The only big decision to make in that semi with Croatia was to man mark Modric and he didn’t make it.
I think he's a festering turd. However, I don't think any manager deserves what he's had to endure tonight. It reminded me of the Barnsley match v Sheff Utd. Set o' c nuts.
I said to my mate “I think I’m being fair saying that’s the worst England game I’ve ever watched.” I’m 40 soon, so I’ve seen a lot of dross. Then I learn it’s the worst home defeat in nearly 100 years. So I stand by it. Most embarrassing display I’ve ever seen. I feel like a proper BBS’er again.
Bit like rearranging deck chairs on the titanic at that point. Honestly not sure why he’s not put an actual left back in the team.
I think it was Kane's decision not to square it to Sterling at 1-0 v Croatia. There was sumat similar v Italy but my Alzheimer's is kicking in now.
He played a team that weren’t full strength, like a practise match, and that’s exactly how the players played for him…. Practise match mentality. Wembley may have focused them? But I doubt it. Approach totally wrong for this tournament.
Modric was almost a conductor in a philharmonic orchestra in the middle of that field . Everything went through him with barely a challenge , it was obvious to everybody bar Southgate imo stop Modric stop Croatia .
