I don’t. I just think the majority of our players are no where near as good as we think.
You also can’t blame Southgate for lacklustre performances from Bellingham and Foden all tournament
Sulked the entire final and into the post match.I’ve been very disappointed with Bellingham. Clearly got the skills but hasn’t seemed like a team player.
Not with this manager we aren’t. Next Euros is on home turf so another good chance there when this group should be entering its prime.Are we ever going to win a tournament again?
Spain are a better team with a better squad
And one who plays the best players for his system not just his best players.Need a manager who can make the most of the attacking talent we have.
Southgate has his flaws, but I can't really see anyone else coming in and winning something with this squad. Supremely gifted in the midfield department and so much strength in depth, but defensively we are weak and upfront is no better. We have half a world class lineup, the other half is nowhere near.
Is that what we tell ourselves to disguise the mismanagement of top level footballers ?
It genuinely needs a Jürgen Klopp to play to the strengths of what we have. The FA should pay him whatever he wants.Southgate has his flaws, but I can't really see anyone else coming in and winning something with this squad.

Yes scored a sitter with all the time in the world.Nico Williams man of the match, and deserved too.
He ran us ragged all gameYes scored a sitter with all the time in the world.

Yet Spains Morata is not a mile ahead of Toney/Watkins ( he used to be) The difference is the movement and quick passing behind him and proper use of wingers. To not have given Gordon a run all tournament when we had nothing on the left was poor. I would add that when Spain had the ball we didn't press ( Kanes lack of pace!) , but when we had it, Spain did , and regained possession.Southgate has his flaws, but I can't really see anyone else coming in and winning something with this squad.

Their team isn't miles ahead of ours , they have a manager who sets up and plays a way that suits their players ..Yet Spains Morata is not a mile ahead of Toney/Watkins ( he used to be) The difference is the movement and quick passing behind him and proper use of wingers.

We play like we're trying to stay up
We've got some of the best players in the world.If we change the way we play football and have different football players, maybe.
Micah Richards said the first sensible thing he has in a long time…a super defensive coach in charge of players who aren’t compatible with that. 3 tournaments chucked away by Gareth is quite enoughTheir team isn't miles ahead of ours , they have a manager who sets up and plays a way that suits their players ..

I think what shows the fact they are miles ahead is that our team couldn’t even play like that if we wanted to!
Gutted but this hurts nowhere near as much as the playoff final
He’s absolute quality.Nico Williams man of the match, and deserved too.
My lads just said if England had picked Simms they’d have won easily.Gutted but this hurts nowhere near as much as the playoff final
In the players we have behind the striker we have the ability to play in that way, I don't know why we don't.Yet Spains Morata is not a mile ahead of Toney/Watkins ( he used to be) The difference is the movement and quick passing behind him and proper use of wingers.

Always somebody else. Would give my footballing nuts to see either win something majorIn both games we (CCFC and England) second best.
We should have gone out to Slovakia to be fair.
Southgate so tactically poor, can't react (quick enough) in game.
