Shocking miss from them there
Zero lessons learned from the last World Cup and the Euro’s. Southgate is a poor manager that’s had lucky breaks.It's an absolute travesty this group of players are going to be permanently in the hands of a failed Middlesbrough manager.
Lifeless, negative, one paced dross.
Just like watching Wolves to be fair.

that's the spirit .
7 defensive players against the mighty Hungary,
When did football get like this?
Safety first, beyond negative garbage regardless of what you have at your disposal?
Got 3/4 more of these games as well .Far too many players way off it tonight. Playing at 60% strolling around for the majority of the game and got what they deserved. Passing it around the back for a minute and half with 10 left of the clock. Negative crap
Yep. It is garbage. 3/5 at the back is garbage. Sick of watching it at our club and sick of seeing it wheeled out at International level when England look crap when we play it.
Yep the 7-10 year olds got to themThe Hungarians wanted it more
I suppose the atmosphere was too intimidating for the England players
I'm starting to come round to that way of thinking. I think he played a part in bringing the squad together but given the riches at his disposal this ay good enough. I felt sorry for the 2000s England managers, despite all our quality players in non-playmaker positions we were always lacking in creative talent, no seriously I mean that; we were always lacking a Gascoigne. I never saw us winning much - we were always brittle and predictable. Now we have those barmy unpredictable lads, players like Foden, Stirling, Greasy, maybe Saka, bla bla. This squad is on a par with the best in the world.To say the least.
I didn't think it possible for us to get an easier draw than 2018 but we somehow managed it in the Euros.
And yet, even after going 1-0 up within 5 minutes at home to an Italian side (who've now failed to reach the 2 consecutive World Cups) he ****s it up by reverting to negative crap.
Nice bloke but I'm sick to death of him as a manager. Doesn't help watching such equal boredom at club level I suppose.

Lol, that’s nonsense, France are ****ing miles ahead of England.Absolutely. Even without a top CB - Other than France we have the best group of players in the world. And I'd say that's a close call with them too. Mbappe probably sways it.
Lol, that’s nonsense, France are ****ing miles ahead of England.
Agreed. They could put out two 11's better than our first 11.Lol, that’s nonsense, France are ****ing miles ahead of England.
Tbf to Southgate he was a penalty shoot out away from winning one last summer. We’ve had much better managers (on paper) who have got nowhere near.When Pep said he would leave Man C at the end of next season, I thought it was the perfect opportunity for the FA to move heaven and earth to ask him to become England manager. Southgate’s a good ambassador but I can’t see him getting that all elusive major trophy.
Their tactics are horrible. Sit back, defend, quick ball out to Mbappé who scores. Rince and repeat.They're just as boring to watch. With a top manager they'd be pretty much unplayable.

Not saying Southgate is a top manager but someone said he’s not going to win us a trophy, I’m just saying he’s got a lot closer than some more prestigious names, but you’re right he has a better squad.We were a penalty shootout away in 2004 and 2006 from Semi Finals and had major decisions go against us in the 90 minutes. Sol Campbell's disallowed goal being the obvious one.
Capello and Hodgson had nowhere near the level of player and depth Southgate has at his disposal.
The teams we've somehow managed to avoid facing when you look at it is nothing short of unreal. It's almost the worst thing that could have happened to us because now there's this false illusion that he's a top manager when he really, really isn't.
You and me both mate.It's somewhat acceptable when you're playing an opposition capable of hurting you.
When you're clearly better than someone. And consistently see evidence of how to beat that sort of side i.e. by going at them from the off and overwhelming them with your attacking ability, maintaining such robotic dross is nothing short of obscene. It reminded me how we play against the likes of bloody Norwich. Watch every half decent side batter them by attacking but stick to the same old safety first crap instead. Beyond sick of it.

**** performance of an even worse song.Well England wasn't the worst performance I've seen today. Rod Stewarts Sweet Caroline has won that honour hands down.
That's an insult to ditch water.Harry Kane has obviously had a charisma Transplant.
Dull as ditch water.
How he's Captain of England is beyond belief.
Seems to lack leadership qualities.
OK he can score some excellent goals but as for his role as England's Captain, MEH BIG TIME!!
LOVE it !!!That's an insult to ditch water.
5 at the back only works if your wing backs play well, England's didn't yesterdayFunny reading this back.
Maybe Southgate should've listened to the Mix! Play a back four, don't play Coady and maybe they wouldn't lose to Hungary.
It really is so similar to Wolves.
Who benefits from a 3-4-3 in that England team? Nobody apart from Coady. It's not criticising him as a player it's just, as with Wolves, he's central to the major problem that's holding/held the team back even if it's not his fault.
