"Bad performance, you'll be on the plane home" | How could England approach the knockout stages?

Its definitely coming home on sunday. It being the england team

ive just heard the media say that we cant criticise the team because it hurts their feelings

Nope this is exactly what you expect from a Southgate side!!! The mans tactically innept and his sides play expressing his personality...boring!!!

These 2 sky presenters have nice chemistry. Enjoy getting to the KO stage. There's no need to take hasty decisions. Wednesday to Saturday is a time to enjoy England winning the T20 World Cup & time to pray & and meditate, and to get the body fully fit & the mind fully focussed.
Then, on Sunday, the 3 🦁 pride rises to do battle. Gareth will have a good plan sorted on Sunday. Don't bash em. Just pray and meditate to make lots of good luck karma.

Its not hard to see that southclown has lost the dressing room...home on Monday morning lads

I don’t understand why anyone would think that just swapping Conor Gallagher for Trent was going to have some massive impact 🤦🏻

I don't care what people said.

C'mon. It's just a psychology tactic . Other team is watching and underestimating them. Its a good point. Because they pretend to do that until they meet their real test. Thats it

We can all agree that Southgate is a COWARD

HARRY REDNAPP FA, GET HIM ON THE PHONE

Expectations are the biggest killer

I think you England will be better without a manager only after that you might have a chance.

I cant believe people actually want to spend good money to watch England anyway,as far as im concerned,i only care about my club side,and would rather see them win something over England anyday !

"We are not seeing the type of England performance that you come to expect from a Garath Southgate side" - This cracked me up😂😂

Bellingham, saka, foden, av all flop it's time to change, palmer for saka, Gordon on his natural wing, foden 10,Bellingham pairing rice

Eng are in group C, no one can score in this group, that’s why you’re 1st with goals against. Your 21st at goals forward because your coach is shi$.

Munter fanbase.

Who’s this guy on Skysports? Is he Southgate’s PR Manager? Is he an agent of the FA? What the hell is he watching?

Did you learn to ask questions like that in Media School? - "How could England approach the knockout stages?"
Sky Sports Result - F Must try harder

Southgate isn't utilizing Trent's passing ability, he's playing players out of position and he makes decisions too late in games to make an impact.

I feel sorry for the spiders in England's Trophy Cabinet...no fresh air for 58 years..?

They played the three whackest teams that why they seem so defensivly sound

Just trying to be positive, i trully think that England will have a better chance at more attacking teams. I really feel like and this isn't just for this tournament, this has been an issue for a few years, England struggle against 11 defenders. But against better opposition there is more rooms through the middle as both teams are more spread out rather than all being in a single half. That's me obviously trying my best to look on the bright side of what has been a painful watch. Was encouraged when Mainoo, Palmer and Gordon came on though. Both Palmer and Gordon looking to run past players rather than play it back to defence. Gallagher can't be near this team, he is a liability and the fact that Southgate has been choosing him out of the options we have means this team has to be given to a more inspiring manager.

When you speak about our great defence you forget one thing: who we played!!!!!!!! Wake up

Who cares about the performance flair and nicey nicey football wins NOTHING, I dont care if they play crap all the way to the final and then win its about winning not playing nice

WHY CAN’T FA JUST SACK HIM ????

Delusional Southgate expects to be praised for rubbish performances in one of the weakest groups in the tournament, unfortunately for him, people see him for what he is, a second rate manager not fit to manage England.

Are you illusioned with Southgate. 😂. I like one guys statement where Southgate would even wear a seat belt even if he rides a bike.

Having a too much of a focus on defense will cripple an offense from pace & risk

The fans should stay home if they are going to boo the players. This man has been the best coach in England for years. If the lunatic fans don't see this, they should stay off the stadium. I hope he leaves the position after this tournament and lets the running mouth on the media take over.

England will go far. At least semi final.

The Senior players in this team need to let Southgate know they are picking the team and making the key decisions. Southgate is clearly out of his depth and its looking more and more like these players do not listen or respect the Manager. Also regarding the 0.38 goals against, wait til we play a stronger team - Germany " Hold my beer"

England have no width on the left side. THey get smothered in the middle of the field. Kane, Bellingham, & Foden all trying to play the same space in midfield. It's not rocket science. You either play with a left winger who's bread and butter is taking on right backs, or you force your left back to actually play attacking football. I think that means playing Joe Gomez above Trippier. But it could also look like playing Gordon at left wing. Of course, this would require a formation change, as the 4-2-3-1 has been laughable. Southgate is a tool. What else is new?

England is a complete joke.

Wrong selection of players and wrong man at the helm, simple

The History of English Football. Mediocre to competent players over hyped as world class talent. This current crop is competent as complementary players that can fill a role on a championship team. You wouldn’t build a championship team featuring them. They have benefited from playing with world class talent in the Premiership and Bundesliga which has distorted their abilities by fans and media. Now that they're responsible for pulling their own weight, creating chances, setting the tone and pace of a match and fail. No midfielders with technical or attacking ability, no wingers that run at and threaten defenses, no threat from the back line. It’s a slow and plodding team fearful of going forward because of lack of ability to do so and Southgate’s obsession with a clean sheet. One pundit accurately stated “Southgate would rather win 1-0 or on penalties than 5-2”. Their next game will be their last. Their going home as the chant goes. They've seen the high octane attack of South American teams (Brazil, Argentina) over the years but have done little to emulate their attacking success. Slow and steady doesn't always win the race. It hasn't in football for a while until England let Italy through the door in 2020 trying to sit on an early 1-0 lead. Disastrous on all counts. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

This is his last tournament, thank goodness.

"Operating in an unusual environment" is when the fans throw beer cans at Southgate.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I believe in England

Omg could this reporter get right into southgates ass cheeks and kiss his ring for him

Austria have a wide-open, aggressive style that both wins and is fun to watch. Deserved to claim that group over France and Holland.

England won their group too but most unspectacular. They have to emerge from their slumber or they will go home soon, better draw or not.

rice, Bellingham, kane are rubbish

We want attacking football, not anti football.

England isn't playing well because they're missing Jordan Handerson, Kalvin Phillips and Harry Maguire. That's why they're struggling and especially the two missing midfielders.

England are going to bore their way to the final beating Slovakia, Italy, and Holland by penalties or 1-goal margins,
beating Germany in the final by fluke on penalties to vindicate Gareth Southgate and his Euro 96 reputation.

Another handy game for England and yet they still can’t play football properly it’s incredible how they have such a high opinion of themselves , wake up Your rubbish

Unusual!? Have you ever seen the stick that the Spanish and the French media dish out as a matter of routine? Doesn’t seem to be doing them too much harm does it!

We’re turning our younger generation into a bunch of pampered softies.

England has got a best squad of players from a long time and more from previous tournaments. He’s not utilizing them properly. I don’t think he knows what he is doing. A better manager would get a better outcome on this group. He deserves all of the criticism as he’s had time to prepare.

Who is this woman?

Leave the euros to BBC and itv thanks 👍

Not taking a fit left back, what was he thinking about?
