I remember him and Ugo Ehiogu partnership at the back that was best centre backs outside top clubs. Shame Ugu died so young in 40s in 2017. Southgate was great defender but manager wise he is mid table Championship. Seems decent bloke but that doesn't make you a good manager at Premier League level or even top international level managing one best countries in the world in England.

He's the reason we haven't won anything. Should have won euros, Should have done better in the world cup. Players are good enough, he isn't.

He is Englands biggest handicap to winning a trophy, to be honest we should have had two major trophies with this group of players. When Gareth states “it depends how you measure success”, that’s easy it’s measured on trophy’s dear boy, trophies. Imagine Pep saying that OMG, as Pep said why he hasn’t been sacked “it’s simple, win games, win titles”. With Gareth he looks to measure success by being mediocre.

I define success for a manager is "value added to a team". We absolutely have world class players. Arguably one of the best group of players in the world. What does Southgate add to the team? Almost certainly not tactical nous. Possibly team morale, but I wouldnt say he "fires up" any players to play beyond their expectations.

Simons face while Jim is trying to convince us that he was tough on Southgate when he (Jim) interviewed him.

He will always be remembered for England getting to the SF or Final of an international tournament, watches his team take the lead then the handbrake is pulled up, wheel clamps secured and krooklok snapped on. He's out of his depth in a must win game. Nowhere near good enough for a top 6 job, and why he's an OBE says everything about the honours system there to reward failure.

He is far too rigid to come into an environment like the premier league. International football suits

England have to win something. Not because this is a better group of players than we’ve had previously, but more because every other team is so bad at the moment. The worst Italian side I’ve seen, worst Dutch side, worst Spanish side, worst German side, worst Brazilian size, and as good as some individual players that France have, it’s actually the worst French side I’ve seen. The golden generation were up against elite players spread across every country, so they may have an excuse for not winning anything. There is no competition right now for England, there’s no excuse for not winning. But we are seeing, when you have such an incompetent manager, he can ruin anything good. The guy was a terrible club manager, got relegated and played a terrible style of football. Why is he still in a job? The guy plays favourites with out of form players and doesn’t have a clue about tactics. He’s being bailed out by certain players at the moment who always manage to grab a goal when needed. They aren’t playing well and I’m fed up with him taking credit for things which have nothing to do with him. He’s in a fortuitous position with a fortuitous group of players and not much in the form of real challengers, yet still can’t win matches convincingly.

I'm no expert but I am old enough to remember the "golden generation" of Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard etc and if management was so easy then they would have won, even with the turnips that were in charge then. I also remember what England was like before Southgate took over and they were truly dire, so bad it was painful to watch at times. Under Southgate I have watched what many would have called average or surprise picks get to the semi final in Russia and he has galvanised a team which unsurprisingly he is keen to keep together, yes someone may be playing better, at the moment, in the league but are they really that much better than his current option who has performed for England and has gelled with his International team mates? I've also seen some of the 'b' teams of players who have been given their chance and for whatever reason haven't taken it and watching them play as a team has been dull to say the least. BUT if a player is truly good enough then Southgate will pick them and integrate them into the team, Bellingham is the perfect example, he is still so young but arguably the best player in an England jersey. Look at some of the careers of the England players in the squad prior to Southgate, Deli Ali, Ross Barkley, Eric Dyer, Rose and Smalling, all touted as the best of their geneartion and look at how their careers have gone, not to mention Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Lingard. These were all meant to be the best of their generation and who were subsequently replaced by Southgate with the likes of Rice, Sake, Foden, Bellingham etc. Unlike the England teams of the last couple of decades, when you watch Southgates team at tournaments there is a level of belief that they could go on and win it and it's enjoyable to watch. Did we deserve to beat the Italians, sure we did and with a different official we may well have done but they were bullied off the park. If not for the brilliance of Mbappe we would have been playing Argentina in another final. Say what you will about Southgate but the players he picks clearly turn up for him on the big occasions unlike so many other players for previous managers of the past.

The ideal candidate is someone with a track record of managing at the highest level of domestic football consistently and understands the Premier League where 95% of the squad play.

I reckon Southgate will leave whatever the result after the Euros. I predict that he will replace Roy Hodgson at Palace. The England job will go to Graham Potter if the FA wants to stay with an English manager. Cant see Eddie Howe, the only other credible English future England manager, leaving Newcastle.

Nail on head. Too many blinded sheep who listen to the outrage mouth pieces like SJ who are sent out purely to generate clicks & hate. Have been in the travel club for 6 years, barely missed a match under GS at home or overseas. He’s given us experiences and memories you could not have dreamed of under Robson/Taylor/Venables/Hoddle/Keegan/Sven/McClaren/Capello or Woy. His record across the last 3 tournaments (even to date) will not be matched by his successor. It’s been the greatest era of English football that only Sir Alf’s boys can surpass. When he wins the Euros next summer it’s open season on Jordan, Murphy & every single nay sayer in the comments who show nothing but disrespect to a bloke who took us from the laughing stock of world football, to one of the most feared.

​@@DudeLebowski23istg I don't get how some of the fans in the comments section feel that if the manager doesn't win one off tournaments he's a failure. I would understand the fans expectations if England had previously won several tournaments. They've won one world cup and that was 60 odd years ago, where does the entitlement come from?

"He's building something" He's taken guys from age 25 (their prime) to 32. What has he built for them? All the great teams have been a shadow of their former self and he still can't beat anyone decent. When Brasil, Germany, Spain etc get good again we're screwed.

Couldn’t agree more, Southgate isn’t as good as some would have us believe! The fact that he keeps picking his favorite players who ain’t even regular starters for their clubs or couldn’t hack it in the Premiership shows that he isn’t the best of manager around!

Spot on it is about the mental toughness instilled by the manager.

Simon nailed it. Each of those major losses has Southgate's DNA written all over it. Too rigid, then the wrong change too late. Its only the brilliance of Bellingham and Kane that saves his bacon.

Southgate's best move was in deliberately cultivating good relationships with the media. This has shielded him from a lot of media criticism and demands that he should be sacked - especially after the last world cup. How can he claim that going out in the quarter finals is "progress" after going further in the previous one? We went out to the first international class team we face din the tournament. Good at handling the media, pretty mediocre at football!

It’s disgusting how he treats some of the players who more than merit a call up over long periods of time compared to his mates

5:25 what are you on about Jim? Go to be having a laugh. They are dire to watch.

When England leveled 1 - 1 against France and still nit bringing Rashford on immediately was the stupidest decision he ever made let be honest the only better player running in behind was on the French team.

Forgot to add. 3 days after England v Brazil at Wembley. An absolute Desaster of a performance. Germany changed their Manager and Julian Nagelsman showed why people rave about him being one of if not the most talented young Managers in the game at the moment. Germany out played France 🇫🇷. Won 0-2 in France.

If Southgate goes, then we need a non English manager to replace him. A manager that has a winning mentality.

And he’s right

we are winning nothing with him

We need a manager who's been there and done it. A winner which Southgate clearly is not. When it comes to the best teams in the world he gets beat every time. Both as a player and a manager. We're being too generous giving him ANOTHER tournament to fail.

Simon is spot on here. Big moments and critical decisions are what determine the quality of a manager to me, Southgate doesn’t have that tactical nous

They don't call it the impossible job for no reason. I think he's tactically improved since coming in which was the area I worried about - we were the better team than France in that game just unlucky. I do think the euros should be his last shot though to prove he's learnt from previous mistakes. Alot of England fans are very deluded about who we are as a national football team and blind to how we/ the press make England manager such an unappealing job. We're never going to get a top coach until we sort ourselves out

Totally disagree, Southgate has done well, there are 32 teams in every tournament on his logic does that mean all the managers of 31 out of the 32 teams that don't win should be sacked? International football is knockout is hard to win anything his logic is off.

The problem is virtually anyone interested in football in this country knows and agrees with Jordan, Foden is an example of Southgates ability, Foden is an integral part of Guardiolas plans, there are no passengers in a City team and the lad is a phenominal talent, yet Southgate doesnt know how to play him. When are the FA going to realise Southgate has taken England as far as he can. The acid test is which top 6 team would take Southgate as a manager, let alone any other prem team.

You're basically giving a Ferrari to the local school bus driver and thinking the car is so good you'll win a grand prix regardless of who is driving.

I’ve never agreed so strongly with Simon before. I agree with every word of this.

Sceptical that he selects the players for the squads. I suspect it’s the FA and wanting “marketable players”.

England are spoiled for Talent. Trippier, Walker, John Stones, Bellingham, Rice, Saka, Kane, Grealish, Foden, etc. would get into every single team. It's a world class team managed by a championship level manager. Rather unfortunate for the English.

@cockoffgewgle4993

5 ай бұрын

We only have a handful of world class talent. Kane, TAA (who doesn't even play), Walker (defensively), Bellingham, Grealish (at what he does). That's it. Saka is overrated. Foden is still potential. Rice is overrated (he isn't dominating the midfield against genuine world class midfielders like De Jong/Modric/Verratti etc. Our defence and GK are bang average and 3 of our best players are right backs.

Done ok despite Southgate i think, he's holding these players back and ignoring form players for safe options

The quicker we get rid of Southgate the better. Hes had enough opportunities in tournaments and hasn't won anything . There isnt many national teams with a better squad than ours , but we wont win anything with Snoozegate in charge.

Southgate has a glaring issue and that is facing equal or tougher opposition. We all saw the same script when it came to facing elite and in form teams who were often the favorite candidate of the tournaments shut out England's offense frequently and with the players at his disposal such as Kane, Foden, Grealish, Saka, Sterling, Rashford who are either pacy, dribblers, decent finishers playing miserable up front in the late brackets is a testament to how lackluster his offensive tactics are. This is was his achilles heel. He really should have brought on two attacking specialists to his side and England may have been a favorite to win at least one tournament. His defensive tactics have not paid off. I really hope the FA or whoever is in charge of appointing England's national team coach keeps this in mind because it's what England needs in order to put themselves through France, Spain, and any other team near or above their level.

If we were appointing a manager today, based on the team we have now, Southgate (even taking into account his record) probably wouldn’t get the job. However, it’s easy to forgot how dire England was before he came in. The fact there’s even genuine expectation now is a reflection of that and to that effect, he’s done a decent job. However, on the assumption/ belief that we have a tournament winning squad, even though he’s helped build it, it’s probably time up as don’t think he’s good enough to take us to a win.

Southgates mistake against Italy was trying to defend a 1 goal lead for 88mins instead of going all out and smashing them. We had them dead to rights down their left hand side but we stopped going at them once we scored and let them have the ball. Typical defender mentality.

I emailed in twice to suggest Arsene Wenger and yet Jim didn't read them out and actually said nobody suggested a foreign manager! 🤔

If Tuchel, Conte or Mourinho would've been in charge of England during Gareth's tenure. England inevitably would have won a trophy. Simple as. After Southgate fails and will be dismissed next year, fa will end up hiring Graham Potter or Eddie Howe . None of them have won anything. So no wonder FA will hire them.

Wondering if Mike Bassett would be available... ;-)

Southgate will be judged on how he does in his next competition. We currently have the best striker and midfielder in the world, along with some other seriously outstanding players, Rice, Maddison, Foden, Stones, Walker, Saka. The time is now.
