If he had played Spain in the last 16 he wouldn’t have gone to the final. England never beats a team ranked above them in a competition
England ranked above Spain at the start too
He? It's southgates fault? We used to beat teams ranked higher than us often? 😂
England were easily one of the most disjointed teams in the tournament. A goalkeeper who is a decent shot stopper but constantly wants to launch the ball long to nobody in particular, a midfield with players stepping on each other’s toes and not knowing whether to stick or twist, and a striker that wanted to play quarterback more than be in the penalty box where we needed him to be. Just overall pretty dismal with a sprinkling of highly euphoric individual moments.
I agree that Southgate has done well to a certain point but I think he has hit his ceiling and we run the risk of going backwards again as I think it’s pretty obvious that the new players coming through were growing exasperated with his decision making.
He didn't make tough decisions, that's the whole problem. Too cautious and playing predictable boring football. Spain took us to the cleaners with ease.
Agreed about too many players operating in the same zone. I remember against Slovakia you could've thrown a tea towel over Foden, Kane and Bellingham. It was so easy for them to defend, and that's on the coach's team selection/instructions
Christ, nobody will ever give Pickford any credit, will they?
U want pickford to pass it around and make a mistake? I'd rather him leather it if he isn't very good on the ball (he obviously isn't) than get intercepted and the opposition to score. He's good at what he does which is being a good stopper. Sometimes we all can't be Allison, Ederson or Neuer
He’s got the vibes and PR right but he’s been incredibly lucky with draws and not made the most of these players.
He’s done what he can.
So he had the luck of the draw 4 times, with a WC semi and QF, and two Euro finals? Gimme a break
@@BOZ_11the year we didn’t get a lucky draw was when we went out to France in 2022. So the year we got a bad draw, we went out in the quarters 😂
@@stretfordender11 quarters is high flying for England, pre Southgate
@@BOZ_11 it was failure which is why every team that got knocked out in the quarters considered it failure.
@@stretfordender11 i said pre southgate! Walley with the Brolley didn't even qualify for Euro 2008, with the golden gen
Let’s be real, if Bellingham didn’t pull out an overhead kick in the last minute we would’ve gone out in the round of 16. Southgate doesn’t teach him to do that, he needed to go. Thanks for the finals though
But Bellingham did score, games are not over until the final whistle, so what is your point ?
@@johnbiddle5971Point is that Southgate is tactically clueless. He’s a good team builder and has been blessed with good players but he doesn’t know how to get the best out of them.
@@johnbiddle5971 first shot on target in that game
Bellingham was bad the entire tournament, outside of that one moment.
@@5on-of-FireI find myself in the position of having to agree with you totally on that point. Yes Southgate’s ethos of creating club England, his ability to interact with the media are hugely impressive and a positive on his behalf. He obviously must be a likeable guy to work for and with in that respect. However his tactical ineptitude, his poor game management, his desire to play people out at favouritism are just not acceptable. I’m sure he came into the role saying he would pick people on form. Harry Kane this tournament, Harry Maguire throughout the last few year’s, playing Trent out of position, bringing in Gallagher instead of starting Mainoo from the off. These are massive signs he has no clue how to win against the big teams in the big games. I mean Reverting to a 4,3,3 for the final what the hell was that. The first 45 minutes against the Netherlands were so good. That formation worked, we dominated the midfield, I would have rather gone out and lost against Spain all guns blazing instead of that whimper performance because lads were out of position or totally legless in terms of form. Good riddance IMHO, thanks for the improvements, 1 tournament too long tbh. Let’s hope the new person is far more attack minded. With these lads we’ve got now, it’s bred for the style of play.
Give it Ste, he was constantly out saying what Southgate needed to do
he'd eat saka
Southgate handed his notice to the FA….
They passed it back, he passed it to Bellingham, he passed it sideways to Kane who passed it back to the keeper!!!
This needs more likes looool
I’ve been reading the foreign media and comments and their reaction to Southgate resigning was fear, because they believe England with a good coach could dominate. They underestimate the incompetence at the FA, who are the real reason England have won so little. It is clear England need an elite coach in their prime to take England to next level and Klopp and Pep are obvious choice, but they are looking at Howe and Potter, who have won no major trophies, because promoting English mediocre coaching is more important than winning.
100% agreed. England reap what England sow. It's so simple, yet the entitlement of some of our fans runs deep. I doubt these criticisms come from top-class professionals in their own respective fields.
stop it. england aint winning anything since their robbery in 66. media keeps thinking they are better than they are. karma has spoken
Pep and Klopp would not manage England
They know they can't get Klopp and Pep , they have to look elsewhere.
What a dumb comment. Sven was the best coach at the time and mentioning pep and klopp is stupid.
Probably the most honest and accurate version I’ve seen. ThankYou
Ok I give it to him he’s got us to 2 finals but the route to both of them finals was extremely generous in terms of quality of the opposition and we stumbled when we had to play someone decent. Can you imagine us getting to the final with the same route that Spain had to go through? We had it put on a plate for us twice and fumbled at the last hurdle, not attacking enough and not clinical enough. We need a manager that gets the team playing positive attacking football.
Edit: saying all that Southgate has been a great servant to our country and English football and should leave with his head held high knowing he gave his all and left doing the right thing for his country.
Seconds away from going out against Slovakia in one of the worst tournament showings in recent years. Got bailed out and fell against a good opponent. He had had a very positive impact on the environment and I admire him for stepping down for someone else to take the next step.
"bailed out" 😂 players are supposed to score! By your assessment Ferguson was bailed out all the time and everytime a player scores the manager is bailed out! He played the team exactly how the public wanted
@@dondamon4669YES bailed out.
If you have ZERO shots on goal for 89 min then you're not organised properly.
When an individual stud steps up with an athletic play, that's bailing out the tactics.
@@dondamon4669 yes they scored a lucky goal after creating nothing all game and were seconds away from that lucky bounce. 9 times out of 10 they go out of that match. Luck is part of the game. Fair enough. But if you can’t tell that they weren’t good for 99% of the game then you don’t understand it.
Ferguson never gave a toss about being likeable
Exactly, and he was a winner. Utd have been bang average since he left. Says it all.
Different generation with different values today
The national manager isn't disciplining young tearaway school-leavers and turning them into men.
Giving players pride and confidence, and bringing egos together to be a team, are the skills needed, and Southgate made a pretty decent job of those aspects.
Don't paper over that fact that a lot of International teams have been declining in quality for over a decade and that in each tournament we got to a Semi or Final we had the luck of the draw on our side.
Southgate's tactical intelligence is sub par and his pragmatism and rigidity made England unwatchable at times.
As for the Taking The Knee and Rainbow bollocks he allowed to happen put a lot of people off.
How is Bellingham getting more stick then foden, arguably the most accredited player on the national team is beyond me
Pep Guardiola said that at City the team plays within a framework but each player has the freedom to play to the maximum of their capabilities.
Well said Rio, about time someone spoke up unlike the lads at Sky
He's also had the best England SQUAD in history
Debatable early 2000’s-2010 squad on paper was world class.
Rio, Terry, Beckham,Cole, Rooney,Lampard, Owen. Golden Generation for a reason
Anyone who comes next will be walking on the shoulders of giants. Whatever we win next will be built upon the England squad and moral and attitude he built. At the time he was the perfect manager and has done something maybe more powerful in the long run that winning one cup, he's given us belief.
You can’t win at this level if you’re playing not to lose, rather than win.
That sums up his entire philosophy and tactics.
As a Brit expat watching from South America, i and many others were shocked at the toxicity coming from the home fans and the British media. You’re extolling the virtues of Gareth now but some of the most vitriolic reprehensible comments towards our manager came from YOUR channel! A group of us Brits watched the tournament from 5000 metres up in the Andes mountains and we are all very thankful for what the team and manager did for us. Thanks Gareth and good luck for the future.
where are you living that's 5000m up the andes? i know south america very well and can't think of many places you could or would want to be living that has TV access.
You lot must be suffering from altitude sickness if you think Southgate did a great job lool😢
@@bigbobabc123 nord vpn🤣
Expat? I’d rather call myself a Brit immigrant
Games are won on the pitch, trophy’s are won with special moments. Gareth got closer than many who came before in putting those two together. Hopefully the next manager learned from what came before and put those two things together.
He has had the best squad for the last four years in the world . Im sorry but his tactics selections were bad . A man who wanted to win would not of picked a player who was nowhere near fit . You cannot put players out of position and expect great performances. He worries too much about opposition and not about his teams own strengths
You need help
@davidprosser3888 explain David rather than put pathetic you need help . Democracy a wonderful thing we have as are peoples views everyone's entitled to maybe explain yours 😆
@@RobertHume-bx5ht ok I’m gunna help you here, but only this time,
Just read again ur opening sentence, how on earth can you actually believe this? Tell me what ur seeing to think this, in ur own words & give me some comparisons too.
Very fair honest debrief Rio.
Good on you 👍
Gareth Southgate must stay! The guy is a heavensend for us Europeans from the continent.
He’s also a potential gift to us English. With so many of us fans wanting a team that we can enjoy watching and a manager capable of bringing that about, the FA, (all to often with their heads up their arses in the past) may now hire a manager who suits the players rather than them. If public pressure is telling the FA “no more conservative choices”, give us a manager solely on footballing nous, then Southgate’s tedious game management may have been the kick up the arse the FA needed.
But let’s wait and see.
He hasn’t changed that - we just have good players
Great analysis Ferdinand! Gareth Southgate was a very successful manager that needed to leave because he had improved the team tremendously and taken them to a level above which he couldn't personally deliver.
Tactically, he got it all wrong at the Euros. A big part of that was that he wasn't willing to make the hard decisions necessary to make the team succeed. Kane should have been on the bench since he became a huge defensive liability while offering nothing in hold up or link up play. A big reason for that is the players surrounding him, Bellingham and Foden specifically.
Worst thing to happen to England was Bellingham succeeding at the False 9 role in Madrid. He was a great CM at Dortmund and the Dortmund Bellingham was what England needed to partner with Rice, Mainoo or Palmer.
Foden is overhyped, and this tournament showed it. Cole should have taken the AM role. And Gordon and Saka should have flanked Ollie.
I am happy that Southgate left of his accord. Great coach for the England team to bring them out of their poor tournament showing. Excited to see who England brings as the manager. It will do England good to find a foreign coach
He wasn't a successful manager and the biggest reason why England won the square root of feck all despite the incredible amount of talent at his disposition.
I think you should get job😂
What he lift !!!!! Success is winning ask Middlesbrough how good he was lol thanks to that fraud!!!! LOSER ATTITUDE NEVER WON A THING BUT YOUR CALL HIM SUCCESSFUL 😂😂😂😂 DEFINITELY STILL HUNG OVER THE DEFEAT LOL STOP DRINKING 🍸
Shocking lack of output from the 5 crew during the euros. 2 or 3 actual pods? Shearer and Lineker were smashing one out every single day even after presenting! Fair play, you just wanted to enjoy the trip
not many people have the previlege to have 8 years to build and manage a national team, its pretty much about time to pass the torch and get someone who can lead them over the line..
Please can the English media stop crediting Southgate with improved results, no previous England coach has inherited such a deep pool of talent. To put it in perspective and context England at youth level for past 148 years only won 2 youth Euros in their history. In the last 6 years England have won at youth level 2 world cups and 4 youth Euros, not only unprecedented success in England’s 156 year history, this is unprecedented success in such a short time for any nation in the world, which proved England had world best talent in several age groups. England had more champions league winners under 30 in their squad, than any other team in the euros. People need to understand the talent Southgate was working with where his 7th and 8th choice central defenders play for Milan and Bayern. Where players like Grealish, Maddison, Sancho are not selected and they are not really missed and these players would walk into many other national teams.
The English media are missing the context by praising Southgate for better results. It is the foreign media who are being more accurate in their assessment of Southgate, where he is viewed as not only an utter failure, but also one of the worst coaches in international football. They feel it takes a special kind of bad coaching to take team with the most attacking options of any Squad and have them play slow, defensive low block football with them. It is a crime against football.
Rubbish. Compare
James/pickford - now
Cole/shaw - then
Ferdinand/guehi - then
Terry/stones - then
Neville/Walker - draw
Scholes/kobbie - then
Gerrard/foden - then
Hargreaves/rice - now
Cole/Bellingham - now
Saka/Owen - then
Kane/Rooney - draw
And thats not to mention Campbell, carragher, lampard etc
See ya
After so long waiting for the FA to invest in grass roots football, training our youth to be good technicians, it’s now time to teach game tactics and management, to both young kids and adults. When the FA get everything in place, then perhaps we will see the full potential.
I don’t think it is a coincidence Spanish managers are among the best, if not the best, in world football. With the FA’s resources, if they don’t invest in teaching management, it will be a crime against the fans. Any country with the resources need to understand the Spanish approach.
Well done Spain for continuing to dominate “stupid” nations who don’t learn this obvious lesson.
@@Edge-of-Reason everyone names the big name players in the golden generation and forget the mediocre players who were in these teams like Sinclair, Danny Mills and Murphy, Butt, Darius Vassells, Heskey, Barry and Downing. These would be second division players in this generation of football not England internationals. Even Sven the coach of the golden generation said current team have far more depth and quality than his team.
Also a bigger thing is current generation are closer in quality to the best players in the world, than golden generation was, which is why they won nothing at youth level, because Beckham is nowhere near as good as Ronaldinho or Figo. Terry is not Nesta, Hargreaves is not Vieira, Makalele, Owen is not, Batistuta, Ronaldo, Henry or Klose and Scholes is not Zidane or Bergkamp.
The current generation are closer in talent to the best players in the world and technically superior across the board, proof they are better is their dominance of world football about level, when the golden generation achieved nothing at that level because they were not good enough
@@Nick.Martin. a way to improve coaching in England is having a bigger pool of qualified coaches. The FA has the world’s most expensive uefa pro-license course at 5k and this is by design to protect coaching jobs for less educated former pro players who have the disposable cash to pay 5k for a coaching course. The same course in Spain is £500 and in Germany it is £300. England have 4000 qualified coaches, Spain has 35,000 and Germany 55,000. Bigger pool of coaches means better coaches and more elite coaches.
England is paying the price for the protectionist attitude towards coaching. Making it too expensive for normal more educated people to do coaching courses and get into the business and you less educated former players who don’t have the education or intelligence to cope in the more complex era of coaching. Southgate was one of the smarter former players but didn’t know how to coach patterns of play and movement.
Best analysis comment I've read.
Completely ignorant of modern tactics.
Saka played well in moments, we expected more from him and rest. Put respect on mainoos name, only guy who knew how to pass forward
Southgate didn't create any of that positive feeling. It was setup before that, Ashworth was involved, the whole club England thing, St Georges Park all that stuff. Southgate was part of it, but him getting credit for that is absurd! You think Wharton is happy sat on the bench when Southgate says we haven't got anyone to replace Phillips? You think Gordon is ok sat on the bench when Foden & Bellingham are stinking the place out on the left wing? You think Rashford was happy to come on for 4 minutes while in the form of his life while he sees Sterling go on after not training all week and in poor form? You think anyone was happy to play out of position? You think Trent was happy to be scapegoated by the manager? No. Happy camp? Give me a break. I haven't seen any evidence of that on the pitch.
Let me share what I saw from the final the other day. After England scored the equaliser, they were happy to go into extra time. In contrast Spain wanted to win in normal time.
Simply; he's good person but not good enough for England squad ,I wish he left early (with all the respect to him)
instead of pulling the English team and Gareth Southgate all negative comments, the media and newspapers and x footballers she stand up for our country and the guys that go out and play there best, other countries also didn't get far , and there was no cold comments
Rio says "play your best players but with a system like Spain" 😂 Spain didn't play there best players they played the best players for there system
Spot on. I think Spain have only one player from Barca and Madrid playing in the final game. The squad is made up of largely teams in mid-lower position in the league table.
I appreciate you coming out to your audience and supporting him. A class act, he has made a huge impact.
Southgate you’re the one. People are just ungrateful.
Realistic option is Big Ange all out attack proactive with subs and man manager
Naive defensively though.
@@pauladdae3130Southgate didn’t have good defensive tactics, he just played the whole team in a defensive structure.
No Rio, he didn't do an incredible job and wasn't a success! Just create a cohesive, well balanced side, that you look forward to watching and then regardless of winning a tournament, we will respect you. Please stop making up narratives to mask others mistakes, you are lying and nobody believes the hype!!!
7:30 it was the SYSTEM!!!
For the final...
-Toney for Kane
-Gordon for Bellingham (he was tired!).
Bring Watkins, Bellingham, and Palmer on 2nd hald.
Trent could have been England’s Cucurella but G Nev totally fucked his reputation.
When Tyson, got on the was about hurting the oppenant. Not worried about being hurt. Foden chasing Rodri to stop him playing was crazy. Southgate should have told him
Don't chase Rodri go and hurt him
People have such short memories. England was a disaster from 2008-2016, not even sniffing Semi Finals, often grouped and not qualifying 2008. With some great players. Southgate the only manager in history to get to 2 finals in a row and a WC semi in between.
Agree with 100% of what Rio says... hope someone at the FA takes note and we build on this moving forwards
I feel bad for him, he seem like the nicest and most humble guy alive but he can't seem to figure out the recipe for success with world class players in his hands.
Hopefully this is a slightly more balanced view. He has done really well in bringing club England together and what he has created for the future is phenomenal. The vibe the atmosphere and everything that goes with that he has done something that I don’t think many could have done including pep and maybe even Klopp. But for the constructive criticism he lacks tactical awareness and I think he lacks the courage that all top managers have where they are prepared to take a gamble. With all due respect I do wonder if he would’ve got to both of those finals without playing against such easy team. We will never know, but do you honestly think the teams of 90 96 98 2002 2006 wouldn’t have done something if they had the same lucky drawers that Southgate has had. again as I said we will never know but let’s take the positive from what he’s built. We don’t need to slag the guy off. Let’s let him move on and now we need to concentrate on finishing the good work he’s done behind-the-scenes.
2026 who you guys going to blame now Southgate is gone
The ref..... obviously!
Lol exactly. Don’t take social media as gospel. It’s full of entitled morons who think we should be winning every tournament we enter. They’ll realise over the next few years that this was as good as it got I guarantee it.
Potter probably.
he made us believe again
You can please some of the people all the time but you can’t please all of the people all of the time, Southgate did a good job and people thinking they know better have strong opinions when in reality they don’t know what they are talking about
Well said Rio very fair, balanced & honest. Who now would really want the job?
Kane played everywhere except the striking position.
Yet the vast majority of English folks defended him throughout the tournament, then started pretended after the final.
As for SouthGate, extremely successful. By far England best coach since the WC making him the second best in history. 4 semi finals back to back.
The problem is when you raised the standard and especially having a squad you need to be better.
The issues that plagued England this tournament were self inflicted, so even though he is the most successful in recent history, he get a 6/10.
Gordon barely got minutes, he could have been a runner.
That's how he plays. Anyone that has watched Kane the past 10 years would know this. The issue is how did the manager not know this and not play all these number 10s and put players that run in behind in front of him.
@@zinedinezidane4771 How about not play him at all.
Since nobody is interested in running in behind.
They are only interested in the ball to feet.
Hey Rio as always look forwards to your videos. When you say the relationship was toxic I believe we know how that comes about, with all the toxic analysis and assumptions after each game, than in hindsight, he's suddenly the man. I don't get the reason not the narrative behind this but I believe England will struggle to replicate close to what Southgate has done. You need to build a winning culture before you become a champion, 2 Finals and a semi in 8 years is not a piece of cake. Keep up the great work 😉💪🏻
Thank you gareth for getting us to a competitive level but ultimately with the talent we have, we need to be doing so much better!
Rio I want to hear a story from the camp in 2010 world cup. I know you got injured in training. Would love to hear your point of view.
England did not play well. That's all that matters. Southgate is tactically inept. However, he does have excellent man-management skills.
Not only this tournament though. Southgate was horrible and boring since the start
Inept is strong but certainly out of his depth.
Slightly decent players in a well drilled system will beat world class players with no system 9 times out of 10.
Glad to see the back of the bore fess, safegate, pedestrian tactics and style of play, yes he got us to a final but in the most painful way, his loyalty to kane who simply didn't suit the formation/set up, cost us, who played more like a cdm than a striker, ollie and palmer, Gordon should if been picked in the team, especially the final from the start, it might of been a different outcome, the majority of the team wasn't played in there best positions, n he simply stubbornly wouldn't do it, so thanks but no thanks....... Klopp where you at???
Done a fantastic job getting us close. Time for a change
Southgate must be commended more than anything for setting a culture, a brilliant environment and high standards (semi-finals/finals). Hopefully the next manager in the door only has to worry about the football side of things
Very well said Ferdinand, very well said.
Cute black dog in the background. Anyone know what breed that is?
He picked the best 11 English players & played some out of position instead of picking the best TEAM
Rio seems like he really believes all that he says, but the odd retelling of history is just weird. England always think they will win tournaments, this is an England thing not a Southgate thing. Eng were massive favourites at Eng bookies pre South Africa 2010, and despite incredible opposition (Spain were possibly the best ever football team, France incredible squad, Messi) the overwhelming opinion was that it was England's tournament to lose. If anything the English media and public get very marginally more realistic, and very slightly less huberistic, over the time period of 'hurt'.
Back to the 1970s for England. Didnt qualify for 72,74,76, or 78.
Well said Rio. Spot on.
RIO FERDINAD has been there and dont it. Step up and put your hat in the ring
As a great defensive player, you praise the coach and before they conceded the second goal, they could have conceded two more earlier.
Comments at 10:50 are very apt. Had we been bolder , Southgate would have got less flak for not lifting the trophy
Superb man manager and vibes guy, but just too lacking tactically. I would love it if he were like a second in command below the coach, but not the head coach.
He might also be thinking there really is only one Harry Kane. Come the next World Cup, who's replacing him, Walker, Stones...?
man if england can bring pep or klopp they will rule the world for next decade. there are far too many talents in the squad
You just know the English Media and that includes you Rio, are going to force sub par managers like Lampard , Gerrad , Potters and Poch for the England Job . When in reality with the team we have , it is only between Tuchel or Klopp any thing different will just waste the next 2/3 tournaments
How can you say that tuchel failed at Chelsea and bayern Munich for me Eddie howe or pep klopp not bad choice
@@RobertHume-bx5htI think you'd be the only person who would consider winning the Champions League with Chelsea, a failure.
He is however rather defensively biased which may not be the more free offensive system most have been calling for.
@NeilB.-rv2ww please tell me why he got the sack was because he was doing g great and 8f he was that good why did or has he not done it again , would you also say he was a success at Bayern Munich 🤔
I now look back on that friendly with Iceland. A perfect opportunity to react and learn what to do when going a goal down completely wasted. What was the point of that friendly? What was Southgate thinking? Don’t get injured? If so then don’t play friendlies!
to be fair - Apart from the moments of Bellingham, Saka, Palmer & Pickford.. England games this Euro were honestly the most boring and the most underwhelming across all the 24 teams!
What entertainment exactly are you talking about Rio?
first thing they shoulf stop being active in social media doing content for england youtube channel instead of training
My granny could get England to a final.
Bellingham to be player/captain/manager. That should do it.
Southgate was not quite enough. 85% of the qualities that we needed to win. 85% is far beyond what we had prior. I fear (and I think I'm right) that the fans only think we have 15% left to fulfil.
The reality is with Southgate leaving, we don't only need a manager that can bring that 15% quality, but the 85% that Southgate takes with him upon his departure. Some people think the togetherness, belief, resilience and stability will simply stay put and will require no work to maintain, but that is a sign of a people who take things for granted far too easily. I don't know whether to be glad about a change just yet, but with change, there is always an opportunity.
Discuss England in finals…knowing there’s no chance to win unless favourites got benched and the manager suddenly learnt tactics. No better, actually probably worse than just getting to the 1/4 and going out line what we’re used to.
Were you there in 2006?
Thank God. Bring klopp. Win every thing
He wouldn't necessarily win anything
He's not that desperate 😂
minimum to get to the semi final? why not expect to win? given the size of the game in the country, and pool of talent on offer, our expectation should be to win. Gareth helped create that expectation but I think its clear from the final (and the previous final) that tactically he's not quite at it. his approach to the game isnt enough to get it over the line.
Best part of euro 2024 can’t wait to watch England hopefully they don’t f up the new signing.
RIO..............! LISTEN YOU ARE THE BEST ENGLAND DEFENDER AND PERSON IVE EVER SEEN DUE TO YOUR FOOTBALL AND WHAT YOU HAVE DEALT WITH GOD BLESS HER SOUL..., LISTEN IF ENGLAND WANNA DO SOMETHING EVER WE NEED TO LEARN WHAT GUARDIOLA KNOW AND WHAT JOHAN CRUUF KNOWS..... APART FROM THAT WE NEED YOU AND FRANK LAMPARD TO COME IN AS A JOINT TEAM TO MAKE ENGLAND WHAT THEY ARE. REASON RIO DONT HOLD AND YOU BOTH KNOW ENGLISH FOOTBALL❤
Who is Graham effin potter ffs. The FA had got the money. Klopp is available. He likes the uk. Pay him what he wants.
If English, has to be: Eddie Howe or Carsley.
If non-English: Klopp (though doubtful he would ever take, as he wants to relax, so no idea why his name is being constantly thrown into the mix).
No way Lampard, Rooney or Gerrard. They have poor man-management and inter-personal skills.
No way: the Argentian Pochettino. He comes across as a bit of an opportunist. Plus, an Argentian manager would be a kick in the teeth. Since 1986 they've been the masters of the dark arts against us.
Hallelujah 🥳
Probably too young to remember Ron Greenwood. Took the caretaker's job and had England playing proper football in no time. It's a part time job managing the national side. All the other stuff regarding structure and organisation can be handled by administrators and coaches.
Couldn't agree more
I'm actually sick of reading the bad comments on Gareth I'm not his biggest fan tactically but he achtmore than most who've gone before him
4:16 👀😅
This was the first time he listened yo media and public and chose the players they wanted not who he wanted. He would of brought Sterling, Rashford,Grealish and Maguire because they was a team and the players that git us there and we would of won , like Barnes said they are better individual players and thats what you need in international football and they also had connection with each other. He basically was firced to sell four of his biggest players in the team he created
Rio, doesn't sound like you're a top pro footballer, professional soccer is results based, 8 years of turgid football, no trophies, manager favoritism, terrible game management, all the feel good stuff is irrelevant
Love england arsenal kdrama since young always waiting for next season
How can you say
He did a fantastic job 😂
Rio.. everyone's advocating for attacking, pressing football "like the best teams do now." How's that going to work if you have to play in the afternoon in 38 degrees in Mexico City in a quarter final in 2 years time?
You've got to look at the bigger picture.. you'll have players who are tired after a long season and you want them to all cover 14 K per game. It's not going to work, mate. That's why we need people with brains who can make the right decisions and not invest 2 years in a new style of football that won't be suitable for the next tournament we're trying to win.
A different and less negative manager may have won the thing
It took Southy 4 MAJOR TOURNAMENTS TO "FIX THE VIBES" 😂 CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE 🎊
We played with fear that’s as simple as it gets, Gareth gave into the noise and took all the lads with the best stats but left the team totally unbalanced and easy to get at therefore playing with fear.
But Bellingham should be told to stay in the midfield let foden do his thing. Play with three at the back and play the aggressive attackers. Gordon Watkins toney etc. Trent as wing back just playing balls over constantly that’s the only way when we don’t have a modric or a Rodri someone who in the middle holding the ball and playing through the lines
Rio for the England manager job.
Great analysis. Southgate gets to leave with dignity and an enviable legacy.
So Palmer didn't play well????
England and Spurs are a tough life sadly, and I support both. Keep the belief
