Still getting us further than any other Manager in over 20 years though...
Some England fans will never be pleased though. Tonight has not been good, that’s clear for all to see - but the bigger picture certainly is much brighter for us than it was a few years ago. We shouldn’t lose sight of that.

Let’s be really honest, we didn’t play anyone good until Croatia, we lost
We have had a good 45 against Spain, that’s it.
Its all well and good saying Gareth can get us to a semi, but we won’t win anything with this man in charge.
Why should we expect to win anything?
Doesnt sit right with me that we do well to get to 2x back to back Semi Finals and because we don’t go and win the tournaments Southgate just gets criticism thrown his way. We limped our way into 2nd round/quarter finals at the absolute best before he came along.

Exactly... weve been shite since 2006 - to even think about sacking Southgate would be ludicrous
I'm fucked off after that ET performance but one thing I'll take is the fact that we've never put in a defensive fuck up type performance under Gareth before and fully expect him to rectify it
Ultimately UEFA need to take a look at these Finals and have them slightly later in the month... its a great format and will be great when it comes back round but to have the Finals SO close to the Champions League Final is almost their way of saying that they dont rate it as a tournament
We didn’t play well at all, but can’t help thinking that taking Sancho off was a massive mistake. Delph and Rice in the same midfield is also asking for trouble.

We could have Guardiola as manager and we wouldn't win anything. It's what England players do. They fail in the more important games. Always have done. Even with the desperately embarrassingly named Golden Generation.

This England side has some of the most talented players we’ve seen in a white shirt.
If we can’t win now when can we.
Next Summer, why not? We know these players are capable of winning something. Would love to hear who you think would come in and immediately do a much better job than Southgate has....

Because we won anything with a big name like Eriksson or Capello?
Those two ruined the England team because they focused solely on the big names and didnt take a look at the youngsters coming through - Gareth is doing the opposite and probably would have named a different team for these finals (he this as much) had the U21 Championships not been the same summer

When some of these youngsters are a little bit more experienced?
And you say it like English football hasn't finally achieved the revolution in youth coaching that Germany and Spain managed ten to fifteen years earlier. There are going to be a lot more talented players coming through in the future.
Patience. Or if you prefer, impatience, sack the lot of them, get an expensive foreign coach in and lose that way instead
decided we should play out from the back when our defenders aren’t good enough to do that. our only player who can play out from the back is gomez and southgate decides to keep him on the bench. also we shouldn’t be having ‘play out from the back’ as our tactic if we don’t have a ball playing centre midfielder who can take the ball from defence and take it into attack.
and then our best player on the night (sancho) gets taken off for lingard who ultimately wasn’t good enough today.
VAR done us over but imo southgate has to take responsibility. poor

Tbf we have had our positive dose from the football gods for the immediate term!

You know we will line up with Delph against Switzerland. It’s all so safe, we are celebrating mediocrity

They're usually the worst players in their own club teams if they play for a top club. (Kane and Sterling being the exceptions, and maybe Sancho)
No doubt we're all fucked off over tonight but to suggest getting rid of Southgate is nothing sort of a knee jerk reaction

southgate got the tactics all wrong.
