Southgate needs to grow some balls man. We've got unbelievable talent on the bench and he brings bloody Henderson on
Final: Italy vs England
- Thread starter ivaldo
- Start date
Stones 100% could have cleared that if he wasn’t preoccupied by taking out Chiellini.
He's been completely ineffective.
The Saka/Hernderson subs were so stupid. And how Mount is still playing is also beyond me
southgate has really made a mess of this.
how is mount still on the pitch?

I'm an England fan, we don't wash! Thats a joke at my own expense before anyone gets their knickers twsited.
Southgate is holding this squad back. Even if you win it I'd say the same
Have there been atrocities committed by Italy?
Game seemed quite fairly clean and normal antics from both sides on fouling and falling to get an advantage.
England hiding from 30th minute onwards. Poor performances from Mount, Phillips, Rice and Kane in the second half.
I'm glad I'm wrong here then.
England only dominated the first half of the first half.
And yet they can still win the whole thing.
Bring on Sancho and Grealish ffs. At least one of them.
Italy have ran England ragged in the 2nd half, much deserved equaliser. We started to get our feet back in the last 10 min though so hopefully we can get some momentum going in extra time.
The only hope I have is that Chiesa went off and he was their best player
Fully agree but such awards usually go to goalscorers and not defenders.
Such a strange move. Mount was also sleeping but this was on Stones
The Manchester United part of me wants to keep him on the bench. But I do think Rashford would be a good substitute right now. He's the best player in the squad at turning defenders around.
Southgate is so one dimensional, no sense of game management at all, so much talent on the bench that would have been perfect at 1-0.
Instead we have to watch Italy grind us down, without any threat on the break, just like against Croatia in the world cup.

Pretty much the most Chellini thing ever.Feckin' typical Chellini
Worst traits of him as a manager in that second half. Did nothing while Mancini switched things around and now can't switch out of ultra defensive mode even at 1-1. Froze in that second half.
Crazy to not use Rashford when trying to play on the counter
Beckham, Terry, Lampard, Gerrard, Southgate
Embarassing tactics/approach by Southgate.
Id be fuming if I rooted for England.

Kane anonymous again
Mount shouldn't have even started. Can't believe he wasn't hooked in the 2nd half.
And he's starting extra time. Jesus.

Must make subs, take off Mount, maybe even Sterling.
Get Grealish on
Get Grealish on
No subs 
Southgate is just a nice Mourinho
Italy lost any chance they had of winning this when Chiesa got injured.
I expect a lot of activity in the missing posters thread if this goes to pens.
Mount for Rashy or Sancho. Saka to target Chellini and Bonucci for fouls
Southgate losing this for England. Coward.
I spit my beer in laughter there at Chiellini. Best moment of the game by far.
Take Mount off please for Grealish!!!!!
Take Mount off please for Grealish!!!!!
The occasion has been too big for him. Just like the semi. It isn't hate, its the truth.
No subs, nice one Gareth xx
Southgate must know that he has to win this in the next half hour. Going to penalties is not in England’s interest. Pickford and Donnarumma are the difference
England will get a very jammy win
He’ll definitely come on if we’re not winning — one of the must have penalty takers
Italy going for it.
