When did Southgate try a system where TAA pushes into midfield

We are that deep Gordon or anyone out left will be dragged back! Eze came on, nothing went left, it went right to Bowen.

Inside the first 90 seconds of the Spain game and their left winger has taken on the full back and put a cross on the head of the attacker in the box. Spain have shown more attacking intent in 90 seconds than England managed in 90 minutes.

I honestly don’t know anyone who watches football has hyped up these players.

He first tried it in 2021 and played him there more times than he has for his club

Because the person who spreads the ball left and right for City was subbed for EZE.
What's your objection to him?

The one thing Southgate had was the players behind him. By The looks of a few gestures and expressions he does not have that anymore. He will not be sacked. FA will say they wanted him to stay but had mutually agreed it was time for a change

You hear it all the time in the media, you yourself are talking about Palmer & Gordon who have had 1 decent season.A lot of our, so called, world class players have never produced it on the big stage.

Because Eze did nothing but drift inside

Actually they do, in any job in life, if you have a poor manager it affects the performance, the higher the performance level the worse the manager the more effect it has. Poor coaching, poor decision making, lack of confidence in the manager, lack of confidence in his tactical ability or the perfomances they see will all knock their confidence and performance and what we are seeing is what we are getting due to that.

What’s he ever done? Did well at Brighton we are told, 3 seasons finishing 16th, 17th & 9th, got the Chelsea job, and flopped.
Please tell me what in that shows he’s ready for England, apart from being English?
On another note, Spain should be 2 up and Nico Williams is having a stormer. Spain playing with so much pace

Can't see how anyone can argue every player, arguably except Pickford who made a couple of saves did anything of note. Kane got the goal and then drifted backwards again. Bellingham anonimous, TAA giving it away for fun, Foden running like a headless chicken and so on

What’s the big stage these days - a lot of those players have done it within the CL when they are facing the best in the world

What would stop Gordon doing that if he got no service?

After the last game some of us summed up the issues we felt existed and the weakness in certain players and the managaers ability to deliver (and we got some stick from the usual gang on here who generally seem to get it wrong on a regular basis 
) and he has just confirmed that to all of us with this latest abject performance.
It's embarrasing that a forum member can say GS will screw around with subs on 67 minutes, well he brought the 3 on at 65, someone said he would bring on Gallagher when we needed more and different, and he did. The bloke is so predictable and weak it's a joke.
The fact 959% of the country can see what is wrong and he cannot is just madness, and to be fair if can see it but can't at least try and fix it, he really is the wrong man for the job.
I think 4 years ago with the squad he had he was at his peak based on the level of players we had, now the players have continued to evolve and get much better but GS is still the same old GS and he is not good enough for the level of players we have, they have out grown him in ability and unfortunately we are going to suffer in this tournament and will need to wait for the next one before we get another chance.

Said after the final friendly that Southgate should be replaced prior to the Euros starting. I would support him going mid tournament, he is a completely inept manager and I would be surprised if he ever gets another management gig after this tournament.
The in game management, the negativity, and the team selections/subs are all so poor. Bowen over Palmer twice is so disrespectful it’s unreal.
Guehi a shining light, what a bloke.
