Same shit every game, midfield easily bypassed, long gaps between the lines meaning we struggle to retain possession. And yet many of our fans will insist the manager couldn't do any more because two players are missing

That's harsh!

I think we have the best set of players outside of france

This is absolutely correct. He doesn't use the qualifiers as a chance to test things in advance of the tournament or give new players chances so we go into the tournament relying on a lot of the same players and will probably fail in a similar way

This is pretty mad after mainoo has played a few games. Now if you were to compare him to hendo...

Ten hag basically to think that momentum would carry us through last season and fatigue wouldn't be a factor. This led to him playing the same players in a ridiculous amount of games, it was naive at best The thing with liverpool struggling last...

It is difficult to tell if our high press and low block is due to foolish tactics or a defined tactical approach. Neither is good

Picking out win rate as opposed to points or position in the league is pretty funny, might as well start talking about the number of throw ins we have had

Well it's rare there is visible evidence of any instructions being adhered to, which is an issue.

There is no obvious evidence of a style of play being developed though. With klopp there was a clear style fairly quickly even if it took a while to fully embed

In his first tournament the squad was certainly weak but now I would say its up there with the best we have had in the last 20 years. Sure there are some gaps but maybe only France doesn't have some weaker positions. Guess you can interpret...

Well no its obviously not just about personnel, it's also about tactics ans ability to change games mid game both of which Southgate isn't the best at
