Roy... sorry, Gareth, was on the radio this morning saying how well the team played. What I saw was a shambolic performance orchestrated by a manager who is tactically inept, plays people out of position, ignores creative talent like Grealish, Alexander-Arnold and Foden and puts his trust in second-rate players who are out form for their clubs. Kane looked like a forward version of Maguire. Pickford is not only playing poorly but he's got a real attitude problem. The FA will continue to back Southgate and a terrific generation of very talented young English footballers will once again get no rewards. Southgate is a good politician but a lousy football manager.

Right now he's lost the plot, clearly. but i remember a few of years back going to a game at Wembley (Nigeria I think) and I was surprised at how progressive England were. I thought - we might actually be ok, and we were.

Question is whether he can get back to that. Jury is out. But certainly I'd rather he didn't come to Palace if its this version of his managment on offer. Dyche seems to be the obvious choice for a team like ours. He'll get a bit more dosh to spend which will make him happy.

Never been a big fan of this current England Setup.

The last World Cup whipped everyone into a fury, but we still were'nt that good, and fluked it to the Semi's.

The single main redeeming feature to this whole setup is that Gareth always has 1 eye on youth. - well, so far in that he used To manage the u21s (has he actually brought anyone in that he did not manage in the u21s yet?)

I get what he is trying to do - It's fine to only playing players "in form", but you need to balance that with some kind of consistency of selection in an effort to get these players playing as a team.

This is the job of the international Manager.

plus, of course, we have no defensive midfielders or Centre backs to speak of but do have some promising youngsters coming through. Rice and Phillips need to come up to speed so Dier never has to pull on an england shirt again, and same goes for Gomez/Coady and Maguire.

On the Flip side, these are(used to be) 'Friendly' games, so GS has a right to experiment in them. Come tournament time then we see the colour of his b*llox.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

Why not start with the team that finished against Wales, frankly tearing them apart? Instead, revert to the team that fluked a win against Iceland and barely deserved anything against Wales and Denmark. That's just silly.

Red and Blue Army!

Sadly i think GS is treating these games this time around as a practice match, too many ins and outs and weird combo's to think otherwise. Its sad because right now we could do with some national pride.

Hipsters just aren't cool anymore.

Red and Blue Army!
