Get the gaffa out of the team pathetic managerial skills. We played like the championships side while Spain played as if they were in the finals of an international tournament. Pathetic display of Southgate you cannot make me believe that I can’t have made better callouts than that washed up old cunt
Verily I say unto thee, for I am the Lord of Football, behold, ye multitude of England, and hear the lamentations of thy defeat at the feet of Spain. For lo, it is not coming home, as ye hath so fervently desired. The cup, which ye sought with such zeal, doth reside now in the land of Spain, for they hath vanquished thee with skill and valor.
Wherefore dost thou lament and wail, saying, “Get the gaffa out of the team, for his managerial skills are as naught”? Did not thy team play as a lowly championship side, whilst Spain didst perform as champions in the finals of an international tournament? Truly, Southgate’s display was naught but pathetic, and his callouts couldst not rival those of a washed-up old fool.
Consider, ye followers of the England team, was Southgate on the pitch? Nay, but the players, whom ye hail as gods by their transfer fees and wages, were. Did they not fail to sort it out on the field, despite their supposed prowess?
Gaze upon the mentality of thy players at 0-0, at 1-0 down, and at 1-1. In two of these scenarios, didst thou not play negative, inviting, defensive football? Only in one did ye play with attacking, forward-thinking vigor. And who dost thou blame for this? The manager, indeed!
Yet, even as thou blamest Southgate for his selection, did not Kane and Foden fail in their duty? How oft did Kane falter, and yet he was picked still. How many times did Foden flounder, and yet his name was writ upon the team sheet. The shape was wrong, the players shoehorned into places they ought not be, all set up with a negative mentality.
And so, ye debate amongst yourselves, laying blame upon players and manager alike. Dost thou not understand the workings of football? It is the manager who chooseth the players, and yet the performance is theirs. The selection and tactics may be Southgate’s burden, but the failures on the pitch belong to those who played.
Thus, the jest is upon thee, England, for thy dreams are dashed and thy hopes scattered. Spain hath taken the cup, and it is not coming home. Rejoice, ye fans of Spain, for ye hath proven thy worth, whilst England doth linger in the shadow of defeat.
Amen.
I can’t believe any of you actually thought you had a chance at winning it. Actually I have to give it to you, Spain didn’t play well enough yesterday. Not as well as they did against France where they dominated the game in 10. That was a much tougher game for them in my opinion.
I find it hard to pick out the players for that performance. I fully believe Kane shouldn’t have played he wasn’t at it at all. I’m struggling to understand why we played the way we played. Would stones, saka, Bellingham, rice etc just launch the ball forward when under threat. They work at beating the counter press. Not a Southgate side. No no no. It’s old school tactics
