I wonder which of his specialist expert advisors this unqualified and inexperienced (yet totally suitable) man listened to

It’s completely impossible to make the correct choice going by what we’ve seen here

So people’s lives are being decided by the political lens of the inexperienced and unqualified people making the decisions

Rashford had had a touch of the ball in all those games before being asked to take a high pressure penalty. Confidence wise I was really referring to Saka

No idea. On Twitter a hell of a lot looked from overseas, the “home grown” ones stuck out like a sore thumb. Saw a couple of banning orders handed out and one guy was outed and got sacked (via Twitter!) within hours.

Tbf apparently Saka never had either

Can’t be right, I’ve been assured that Sajid Javid is fully taking on board the views of our health experts?

Oh yeah agreed on that 100%. There’s no getting around the fact that Rashford and Sancho’s penalties were really poor but to start coming out with that stuff is just bewildering, not sure what kind of sick mind does it.

Losing can be a very positive thing if you learn from it and get better for it. I’m not sure we can say for sure that we learned from the Croatia match having seen last nights match. But we’ll see in Qatar, wouldn’t want Southgate to go now but if we waste this current crop of players then...

It’s a stupid system. Like I said I can’t think of any other serious job where you can rock up and get the nod with absolutely zero relevant experience.

Maybe I’m wrong but I took it to mean that even though he’d made his picks in advance, he should have had the nous to see that Saka wasn’t right for one. And I’d say he’s correct in that assumption.

Yes, it’s fucking stupid. Can’t think of too many other important professions where you need zero experience or knowledge.

It’s stupid. Based on this logic anybody with half a brain could do the job as long as they have the right advisers and experts around them.

Well we haven’t got long to wait to find out anyway

Underneath it all Southgate himself will know better than anyone what a chance has been blown.

The general tone: eg talking about people on here making 'constant excuses for the lack of signings', like MR is duty bound to keep us happy on a messageboard

I watched the penalties back, Rashford's looks worse when you see it again, and I just wanted to hug Saka

Whats the mad panic? Are we massively behind other clubs in terms of how many we've signed?

I do not want Southgate sacked, let me get that out of the way, But as someone else said above- could you see Klopp, Pep or Mancini himself let the game go how we did, and letting us totally switch off, then fail to respond at all? And then make those weird decisions on the penalties? We have...

Not at all. He's the right man but he needs to learn the lessons he's being taught in a very harsh way. We failed last night. That is a fact. All over them, a goal up, they were backing off, and we completely stopped playing. basically invited them to equalise, were unable to get any momentum...
