objectively this manager is the best in the last 60 years, why would players listen to fans who don't know how to manage vs the highest performing coach in 60 years.
To be fair, I think its more a core group vs the whole squad. Gordon came out the other day and acknowledged the criticism, saying it should focus and inspire them to do better, that there is room for improvement. I think those on the bench have the energy and intensity we want to see. But they are not as easily controlled by Southgate, unpredictable and not yet his favs.

It looked more like he just chucked Toney on to get his first major tournament cap & had conceded that we were going to lose the game. I doubt he was expecting him to make any impact.
You are right, it is not crazy. A back 5 could mean two wingbacks that will provide width on the attack. Foden and Saka have been too easily isolated and would benefit from someone supporting them with overlapping and underlapping runs.
That’s wild… “when the football doesn’t work like it used to before… and the shirt doesn’t mean a thing… Gareth, I, hate, everything, you, do as managerrrr”
I stand by it was Graham Jones that got us to that final. Each game he was shouting tactics while SG was sat down until the final when SG took over. Dont believe me watch it back. The guy also was 2nd in command at Belgium years ago when they got the number 1 spot.
I want 'positive football' to win in all instances. I am English but if you were to say to me would I rather England win the Euros playing the way we are OR Spain to win it playing the way THEY are..........then I would choose Spain all day every day! Defending is a part of the game, but not the be all and end all (which is the tactic Southgate deploys). Besides, it is always said that attack is the best form of defense and I agree.
He's going for a back five because he thinks we will get an early goal, that way he can sit back for the rest of the game and not have to worry about making any defensive substitutions.
Asymmetrical 5-1-2-2 or 5-1-3-1 with TAA on the right and Gordon (or Saka) on the left could be interesting but without enough practice probably wouldn't work.
It all depends on the wingbacks. Of he plays Trent Rwb and Saka lwbI can guarantee we will be better than we have been so far. We will actually have width , we canr be much worse. Drop foden and play that honestly Id be fine with it. IF we see trippier lwb and walker rwb we are finished ...
5 at the back ... We've been sitting on the edge of our box with most men behind the ball with 4 at the back. I can't imagine how grim it will be with 5 at the back. It will end up looking like one of those training games where it literally is attack versus defence. It will look like a Slovenia game but without the organisational structure and high energy that Slovenia had.
Mad respect for the shoutout for Cold Palmer after what he did to united last season. Hopefully he can start and help get the team through to the semi-finals!
A back 5 could work if the wing backs are Trent and Saka with Stones Walker and Konsa the 3 CBs Bellingham and rice ahead of them foden cam and Kane and Toney at ST
@@ColdiBgstop falling for that shitty stereotype, you do know playing attacking football isn’t easy as just telling the team to attack you have to create a structure for a balance.
You're way off with the "lose an attacker" comment Mark. A back 5 would make us more attacking (considering trent and saka might be the wing backs). It would actually give us some width! both foden and trippier want to cut inside and don't look natural out there near the left touchline at all, then on the other side... Walker has been shocking going forward
@@Aloviya back 3 and back 5 are essentially interchangeable terms. The 3 is the centre backs. The 5 is when you include the wing backs. When you have a bad manager... Going to a 5 might actually be a good idea, because it forces you to have width, without compromising you defensively
Even as a Casual that's exactly what it looks like to me after those player and manager interviews🤣 They just assume yall should kiss some player bums and be happy with it🤨
As an irish person its because English fans are insufferable. Its always 'coming home' before the tournament, and players are placed on a ridiculous pedalstal. Then when they inevitably don't measure up to the ridiculous expectations you all turn on your own team immediately and feel totally justified doing it(because 'we're England and should win', totally disrespecting the quality of other teams). This then scars them for tournaments to come. Rinse and repeat. Worst fans in the world.
Criticism of the team, although largely aimed at the manager and how he sets up, is sometimes taken personally by players (most of them aren't that bright). They also have swarms of sycophants around them telling them how amazing they are everyday and aren't used to hearing the analysis of impartial people.
What’s the point in having a 26 man squad, when Southgate only uses about fifteen players..? We all know Southgate won’t change from his defensive tactics, so we’ll all look forward to a sub-par performance once again?!!
Only Southgate could be thinking: Ok we have been SH** a d I am loosing a defender in the next game. HHMMMM lets try a different system with players that have not played together!!😂😂😂😂
England dodging Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Croatia and Spain all the way to the semi final is crazy stuff. Almost makes me think its all rigged
It could work. Trent and Saka as WB's, Stones as central CB/midfielder, Dunk and Konsa either side (questionable), Rice and Bellingham in the middle, and a front three of Foden, Kane and Palmer.
I honestly think Southgate is scared to play the younger players, that's why he's playing the bigger stars over the players that tactically will perform better, I think he's scarred if they make a mistake playing energetic football that they will be under so much media fire.. personally I don't think he will change anything, his philosophy is "who can handle the media the best" not "who can play in that position the best"

@@mattyboyxv974 As a fellow Liverpool fan, Trent has been plodding ever since he bulked up a bit. I am interested to see if Slot can put a rocket up him going forward, or switch his training ratio to more cardio and fewer weights. Or check his sleep ratio, as Trent's tired eyes look like my son's when he's been up gaming to 5am.
We don't have an attack, they all want to come towards our own goal to receive the ball, and move towards our own goal, the midfield to find space move backwards, the defence do the same and we all end up in our own penalty box, if we didn't lose the ball earlier we'd end up a all on the goal line trying to pass sideways. We need someone who runs beyond the defence, simples.
Southgate hasn’t got an attacking bone in his body. He has to be the worst England Manager since Graham Taylor. I would the whole of the England camp to stand up and say: We are more than this, put us in positions where we know how to play and let us play as we can. We play for top teams - except for Man Utd - and are successful players. I really hope Southgate is replaced as England manager after this tournament 😂😂😂😂
southgate masterclass incoming, spend years convincing everyone you are overly defensive, then suddenly play attacking football out of nowhere and catch them off-guard
Netherlands look strongest on this side of the draw by a long-way. So should reach the final. Then it's probably Germany/Spain or France so one game against a solid team then anyone can win it eg Dutch have a good chance. Good call. Unless England transform in the QFs into a complete team... (lol).
Are you joking ? Putting rice as cb? When he never played this position. And again putting trent into the mid are, where he can't defend. I don't even mention the lack of cohesion between foden/belingham/kane.

@@mattyboyxv974 As a fellow Liverpool fan, Trent has been plodding ever since he bulked up a bit. I am interested to see if Slot can put a rocket up him going forward, or switch his training ratio to more cardio and fewer weights. Or check his sleep ratio, as Trent's tired eyes look like my son's when he's been up gaming to 5am.
@@Dunk1970 as a fellow Father, I see it now 😂 Completely agree.
Back 5 makes sense given they have no natural left back.
I had £10 on Spain before the tournament started and nothing has happened for me to doubt that.
I actually quite like 5-3-2 if it’s Saka and Trent with freedom to create on the wings
Gonna say if they’re the wingbacks I’m happy
Southgate wont allow it
@@ColdiBgyeah because Southgate wants to lose 😂
Trent doesn’t fit in a back 5 if it was a back 3 then yes
Just say you'd like anything with a Liverpool player in there or else you'd spew England hate all over socials😂
We gunna park the bus all the way to the final
Mike Basset springs to mind Christmas Pudding formation then lol
We don't have an attack, they all want to come towards our own goal to receive the ball, and move towards our own goal, the midfield to find space move backwards, the defence do the same and we all end up in our own penalty box, if we didn't lose the ball earlier we'd end up a all on the goal line trying to pass sideways. We need someone who runs beyond the defence, simples.
back 5 against Switzerland?? oh God 😂😂😂😂were getting tactically outsmarted for sure
I mean Switzerland literally play a back 5
@@Mxs427Exactly. England won't score, and they will.
5-3-2 might not be so bad.
*3-5-2
@@kunimitsune177 yeah that one
Southgate hasn’t got an attacking bone in his body. He has to be the worst England Manager since Graham Taylor. I would the whole of the England camp to stand up and say: We are more than this, put us in positions where we know how to play and let us play as we can. We play for top teams - except for Man Utd - and are successful players. I really hope Southgate is replaced as England manager after this tournament 😂😂😂😂
6-3-1
He will play a back five for sure, walker trippier and Trent will be part of that back five 😂😂😂
See Ronaldo’s interview? That’s the kind of mentality you want from a captain, not Kane’s moaning, just getting up and going again.
Nil -nil and a penalty shootout. Apparently that's the strategy?
If we win the Euro's it will be tarnished because of.Southgate. I just cannot get behind England as I usually do, because of Southgate's incompetence.
If we win 😂😂😂😂😂
England won’t win it anyways 😂 save the blind hope for your premier league team
southgate masterclass incoming, spend years convincing everyone you are overly defensive, then suddenly play attacking football out of nowhere and catch them off-guard
I love the way everyone was saying we were favourites...now nobody thinks it!!
Question mark, why are Netherlands not one of the favourites. Not even Van der van can get a game?
Netherlands look strongest on this side of the draw by a long-way. So should reach the final. Then it's probably Germany/Spain or France so one game against a solid team then anyone can win it eg Dutch have a good chance.
Good call. Unless England transform in the QFs into a complete team... (lol).
They have a bozo in charge as well mind you not as much of a bozo as Southgate.
Whoever wins the quarter-final between Spain and Germany will win this tournament!
But if you’re playing Trent and Saka as wing backs, in a way you’re adding an attacker. From a certain point of view.
I don’t mind 5 at the back
Im behind them, Iv accepted we are going to win ugly
gives 2 strikers , havnt even had 1 yet

GK- Pickford
LCB- Stones
CB- Rice
RCB- Walker
CDM- Mainoo
CDM- Bellingham
CAM- Foden
LM- Saka
RM- Trent
ST- Kane
ST- Toney
Ludicrous
Are you joking ? Putting rice as cb? When he never played this position.
And again putting trent into the mid are, where he can't defend.
I don't even mention the lack of cohesion between foden/belingham/kane.
Who let him cook
Are you trolling
You know what's happening Saturday 7.35pm ? PENALTIES 😢
I hope Kane & Bellingham do say that on the microphone.We haven’t backed them one bit.
Madness, I can’t speak
1-1-9 lets attack
No keeper??
