Gareth Southgate

Heā€™s doing a great job.

An alright sort as well I reckon

4:0 ! :joy:

Finished 4-0. Bringing the game to Wolverhampton means the crowd are an even more disgusting lot than usual, deafening boos when Maguire came on and chants of ā€˜you donā€™t know what youā€™re doingā€™ for Southgate.

The English are a horrible shower

They are a disgrace. 4-0 by Hungary. I think theyll struggle to get out of group at World Cup.

Heā€™ll have to go.

The Magyars havenā€™t given England such a hiding at Wembley since the Galloping Major was in his pomp.

Thatā€™s Trent Alexander Arnoldā€™s* starting spot for the World Cup nailed down anyway. ā€œDefensively strongā€ full backs Kyle Walker and Reece James taken to the laundromat by a glorified pub team.

*Kieran Trippierā€™s

The West Brit Dublin based media will have to turn their ire towards Southgate now that Spock has proved himself at the top table

Are England still 2nd favs?

No shame in conceding 4 at home to Hungary. Shipped 6 against them in 1953.

Is it true he brought on Harry Maguire for a striker with 5 mins left and 3-0 down??

That was in Coronation Year of 1953. Possibly celebrating to excess the Platinum Jubilee could be a reason for such a below par performance.

Leave him where he is. A decent manager could win something and that would be unbearable.

They wonā€™t be as fortunate with the draw this time. Iā€™d say Senegal will beat them in the round of 16.

If a good manager came in and realised they arenā€™t great at defending but have serious talent elsewhere the unthinkable could happen

Stayed too long. Too decent a man for that shower of cunts

The funny thing is Southgate has generally masked that leaky defence by playing about 7 defensive minded players and sacrificing intuitive attacking football as a consequence. Remember the back 5 with Phillips and Rice at the Euros.
