Are they good managers? I suppose Slippy may win something if every other team appointed Neil Francis Lennon as manager
I’d always assumed Slippy or Lampard would take the role after a few years.
watch the games abck and tell me we played well in any of the games, only game we played well in was the italy game but the lack of ideas from big nose cost usTwo tournaments in a row is luck?
This is just like being on a City match thread.
We are good enough. It's just the wrong tactics

By far the best manager we have had in decadesTwo tournaments in a row is luck?
I double dare you to watch any of the matches back again.Finalist at European Championships
That your way of saying I was right?I double dare you to watch any of the matches back again.
We were brilliant against Germany weren't we?I double dare you to watch any of the matches back again.

That is part of it I'm sure.The players couldn't give a fuck and to be fair I don't really blame them, long season next season with that silly world cup in the middle of it yet they've had their holiday cut to play in this pointless competition.
Achieved nothing. Collapsed under pressure every time.Anyway, I didn't want Southgate when he was appointed - his record with Middlesbrough was terrible. But, ultimately, he's outperformed just about every England manager before him. That, much like Robins with City, gives him a certain leeway in suggesting he does know what he's doing. Would I set up as he does? Nope. But then playing like Keegan had us playing didn't really work.

Sounds like Spain before they finally started winning stuff.Achieved nothing. Collapsed under pressure every time.

Southgate should have picked a totally second string squad with players given a chance to state their case, instead he's gone with the same old same oldWell then they should tell everyone that so nobody pays for a ticket
Well they’ll have gained better club experience than Southgate that’s for sure. Slippy will have his eyes on the Liverpool job of course but Lampard has already been binned off from his dream job
JackettAndy Thorne or Southgate?
Sounds like Spain before they finally started winning stuff.
It's a fine line and we do have the quality.
Isn't it 9 changes? And Bellingham, Gallagher, Ramsdale and Guehi aren't same old same old are they?Southgate should have picked a totally second string squad with players given a chance to state their case, instead he's gone with the same old same old
But they like Southgate haven't shown anything to say they are international class mamagers
So, semi finals at the World Cup? Home advantage there?Well. Like Venables he had home advantage for all the games, except for one. But yes went one further.
The performance against Scotland was next level poor
Behave. There's a difference between possession football in the opposition's half and threatening areas and playing a back 6 and knocking it about for an hour.Sounds like Spain before they finally started winning stuff.

I agree on the centre backs. Shaw and James are both good enoughNot at the back we don’t, and he sets us up to nick a 1-0 against everyone. We aren’t Italy of the 80s and 90s

Showed lots of promise, collapsed under pressure.Behave. There's a difference between possession football in the opposition's half and threatening areas and playing a back 6 and knocking it about for an hour.
