I've said it many times : Southgate is clueless. Yes, we reached important semi-finals, but we were fortunate that we avoided the top teams. As soon as we play any good team we have no ideas about how to break them down .
Our build-up is slow and predictable. And there is no Plan B.
I'm tired of seeing Mr Nice Guy Mother Teresa blabbing on. We need a manager who can drive the players on, be creative, and be less defensive. I'd honestly rather see Harry Rednap as manager - things are so bad.
Anybody who thinks we can win the World Cup under Southgate must be from another planet. Four more wasted years

Because he's barely good enough to start for an Arsenal side beaten to the Champions League places by an incredibly average Tottenham side.

England do not need an injection of new blood. They need a decent bloody break. Some of those players have barely had a day off since the resumption of the 19/20 season, post covid lockdown.

Instead of who exactly? Kane? Go and have a smoke of whatever you're on again. Foden? Grealish? Seriously?? I think I might even be persuaded to have Sterling in front of Nkehtia and I can't the show pony that is Sterling.

I would put him in the squad, to provide a bit of competition as the current players seem stale and tired.

It's true that Sterling does run into a dead end sometimes, but he doesn't give up and can cut through defences. Also he has the knack of appearing in the box out of nowhere. I'm not a huge fan of Sterling, but he's not as bad as you make out.

Great poll on Twitter. Who manages Sterling the best?

• Liz Truss
• Gareth Southgate

Not wasted for me fortunately Mike as I never bother with England International games. Over and out for me on this thread.

Tremendous fight back from England tonight but Pate is going to rear up when he sees Pope’s blunder that gave the Germans their equaliser.
