Re: Southgate gone

Nobody I've spoken to want's Potter. I hope they give it to him!

....there's a media shoutout for Klopp. If he did get it (want it) then England could win the fkn WC.....I really hope the give it Potter.

Re: Southgate gone

he has some strengths - good motivator and building team spirit.
doesn't appear to know how to coach an effective attack out of a very talented bunch of players

A rich mans Bulut if you ask me.

Bit unfair maybe, and hopefully with the right signings Bulut will come good

Re: Southgate gone

I think the likes of Guadiola and Klopp are more responsible for the up turn in England’s national performances. The homegrown player development and exposure to world class competition provided Southgate with all the weaponry he needed. Unfortunately he didn’t really know what to do with it.

Re: Southgate gone

I'd argue that beating the Netherlands in the semi-final was a test.

I don't think so. They were only 3rd in their group, then were 2nd best against Turkey.

Re: Southgate gone

Apart from Euro 2020, when they beat Croatia and Germany. And 2024, when they beat the Netherlands.

You say Southgate is overrated. By who?

I wouldn't say any of those teams were top sides at the time they played England. Croatia reliant on a few top players, but a lot of mediocre players, the worst German side in years and an average Dutch side this time around.

The English media/pundits/a lot of fans on TV radio etc. I think this was a tournament too far, and a better coach would've brought better performances, momentum and more chance of winning it.

I agree with your final sentence, but not with the rest. Your argument about what constitutes a top side is just plain daft. For instance, Croatia finished runners-up in the 2018 World Cup and third in the 2022 World Cup, but apparently were not a top side when England beat them at the 2020 Euros.

Germany were not a good side at Euro 2020. The Netherlands weren't in 2024.

Nobody England beats are a good side. Anyone who beats England are a good side. Them’s the rules.
