Internationals September (Nations League + Friendlies) | England RELEGATED

[RopersReturn]

Things to mull over after last nights result

1. Southgate is as stubborn as Ole. His beloved 3-5-3 and squad selections. Picking seriously out of form players and throwing them in positions they’re not comfortable in, ie Saka on the left.
2. The FA are run even more badly than we are. Stop dithering, there’s still time to appoint a successor.

 

[TrustInJanuzaj]

I don’t get the Ole comparisons at all. Ole is a much better manager than Southgate and it’s just lazy to pretend they are even remotely similar. I’d be delighted if England appointed Ole with where we are right now. The team is unwatchable for me.

 

[VidaRed]

Always pleasing seeing ingurland getting humiliated.

The main reason being the media circus and overrating that goes on, its like the dippers x 999.

They are the same. Fluked one good season/tournament, the rest is a shambles.

 

[elmo]

It isn't. This isn't club football. You could have replaced Ole with any one of Conte, Tuchel, Pochettino, Potter, etc at any point

England don't have those options

It’s Gareth fecking Southgate, the bar isn’t set very high.

In what sense were England humiliated??

We are second favs for the World Cup and just made a semi and final.

 

[united_99]

Don’t know what people are smoking. Potter is not made for international football, England would just concede too many goals and get knocked out early.
Tuchel would be a good shout, but not for those who want to see attacking football, that’s hardly what I would associate him with.
The team is also a bit overrated. The talent is in the attack. Goalkeeper, defence and midfield are average.

 

[non profit football]

Take Tuchel for the World Cup.

 

[VanDeBank]

England should hire Ole for the bounce

 

[André Dominguez]

Relegated on nations league is something not to be worried about. It's pretty much a competition to fill the voids on international calendar. A few top teams even use it for experiments.

Southgate is a bit shit. We know this.

England still have a shout at the World Cup. I didn't even watch it last night, couldn't give a toss about the Nations League.

Most National team managers are subpar to be honest. Good club managers are not very keen to manage a NT, so the options are very limited

To be fair, that is a very strong formation.

 

[mu4c_20le]

No wonder Southgate was Boehly's first choice.

It's international football. Which available manager has had more success with a national team? Loew? The guy Southgate schooled a year ago? Go for it. A month before the world cup

I never said they should replace him now, but that they should be looking at replacing him and not awarding him a new contract after the World Cup campaign is done.

And if success was an actual measurement for getting the job, Southgate wouldn’t even qualify for it in the first place unless you think getting Boro relegated and coaching the England under 21s is some massive achievement.

Even if they win the world cup?

The fact that they hired him in the first place should tell you what the market for national team managers is like

 

[Marwood]

Is there any team playing 5 at the back and getting real, genuine, success with it?

You understand why England are bigger favorites than France by bookies? Both teams have underperformed in nations league, but France got the better team and have more winning mentality.

I work in odds compiling yes.

That’s about as likely as us winning the league.

It’s just complete nonsense. Ole is levels above Southgate it isn’t even debatable. The football we played was a thousand times better than this England side.

 

[Galactic]

Yea, let’s take international friendlies seriously shall we.

 

[SilentWitness]

People saying not to take international friendlies serious when Southgate is actively taking them serious is weird. He’s just shit. Not sure why some are afraid to admit it.

 

[Samid]

Where did they find this fool of a ref? Never seen this many free kicks. Let the game flow ffs.

 

[Samid]

Haaland

Šeško>Haland

 

[Rightnr]

Šeško>Haland

I was too slow, damn.

 

[Samid]

Nyland can feck off. So can the manager for starting a GK who doesn't have a fecking club.

 

[arthurka]

What a goal by sesko

Absolutely, great goal and an assist.
Let's start the process of buying him.

 

[Eriku]

Hah, classic Norway

 

[GifLord]

 

[Catt]

Hah, classic Norway

Totally We're still shite!!

 

[Deery]

Unbelievable header, but how in the hell Kosovo haven’t won this…2-1 N Ireland!

 

[NorthBraxton]

Is Nyland really Norway's best goalkeeper? Guy doesn't even have a club

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

Elanga benched . He deserves to start.
