That's the end of Southgate, had the chance to go out in a blaze of glory, but limp home and the game just drifts away from us. Get a.decent attacking manager in.

We just don't want it enough. Spain wanted it.

We ultimately got it wrong today , Spain changed things and kicked on after half time , we had a moment where we got ourselves back in it , but then sat back in and allowed Spain to get back ontop almost immediately.

We were relying on knicking a goal

Can’t bring myself to be bothered about meaningless pre-season. Tommo, out.

Southgate lost us that unfortunately. As soon as Palmer scored he should have gone for the kill and made positive changes. The fact he was bringing Gallagher and Trippier on just before they scored says it all.

anyway, anyone tracked Dovin’s plane into the country?

They were by far the better team

This. And in the first half as well, despite the fact we matched them defensively first half, we never got near the way they play. We’re just not particularly great.

They dictated everything and despite the fact they didn’t get much joy first half, in the end something works out when you play like that.

We've screwed up yet another glorious chance with a squad full of talent (probably more than Spain have).

Spain are a better team with a better squad

We had one decent performance this tournament (vs Holland)

I can’t be upset that we didn’t shithouse the final as well

It’s the second final in a row he’s done it and the first one should have been the end of it.

Many have said Southgate can’t win a tournament. Yet FA stuck with him and once again he proven he can’t do it

You’d have thought he’d learnt. It goes to show how out of depth as a tactician he is really.

There are just a few players in our squad that would make the Spain squad.

You also can’t blame Southgate for lacklustre performances from Bellingham and Foden all tournament

Walker cost us that game with his horrendous defending for both goals. Hopefully the last time he ever pulls on an England shirt, he’s been a disgrace all tournament.

Another Southgate mistake is not to utilise his entire squad, like Spain have.

several games this tournament we didn’t need to play our first XI yet did anyway, no wonder we looked knackered at times
