Mac_77 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Southgate was way too cautious tonight. That’s the defender in him, Italy made changes, prodded and poked, we sat back and waited to be unlocked. You can’t defend a 1 - 0 lead for 110 minutes. A better manager would have put more forward players on around 60 minutes, especially with 5 subs. Writing was on the wall with penalties and their keeper. It was there for the taking tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dronfield Blue Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 2 shots on target after 120 minutes. I missed the one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of captain Hindsight’s on here. Many teams do this. They are young players he should have given them time to settle their nerves. He should have took Mount off after the 1st half as he offered very little. Italy had to much though and we couldn't reach their level. Deserved winners overall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win the game before penalties. Yep they’d been sat on a bench for nearly two hours and then expected to jump up and deal with it. Never going to happen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they the best team in the tournament? They were lucky against Spain and Austria. They were the better team tonight though.

i used to be sc_owl Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Southgate will learn from this. He’s done great in the WC and this tournament. I just think his game management was all wrong tonight. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0742 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Southgate is a loser. Always has been. We got to the final despite him, not because of him. The guy should show some balls for once and resign first thing in the morning. The fact Sancho got so few minutes during this tournament tells you all you need to know. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Owl Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I'm really sad at the moment. I'd like us to win something, just once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Crawshaw Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 2 minutes ago, Steve Down South said: Agree with both comments. England ultimately second best despite some good individual performances. Southgate is great in front of the media but too negative for my liking and I question his tactical nous. I wouldn’t trust him to get the most out of the talented players at his disposal. He doesn't use his substitues well. When Italy were getting a grip on the game he should have changed things round with subs but he didn't. Mancini was regularly freshening his team by his use of subs. The BBC pundits are saying the same, Southgate's reluctance to use his subs was baffling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very dominant for me is as good as on another level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
