So your opinion is more valid than anyone else here?

Not everyone’s

Karen Carney or Eniola Aluko as her No2?

Why those two?

 

[Pin-seeker]

Why those two?

Because they both talk

Sorry, I’m lost as to the point you were trying to make.

Thing is big Sam has that arrogance of a personality where as Gareth seemed like it prob got to him a bit.

Southgate got stick from his first game, I really don’t think it took 8 years for it to get to him.

As captain Tom said “ tomorrow “ will be a better day”.
That said, congrats to Kyle Walker for being voted the best Right back at the tournament for the second tournament running.
I think that confirms that TAA is the second best. So we can close that argument .

Don’t worry about it

Greece won the Euros playing like Southgate does, but they had to play that way based on their players. England should be able to compete playing more expansive football without being terrified of the opposition. We need an attacking manager who will let the players express themselves freely.

Not just Greece. Italy in 2021, Portugal in 2016. Same goes for the world cup, France, Italy and even Brazil have won it curbing all attacking instincts. Spain has really been the exception: a team prepared to play intricate passing moves and take risks.

Saying something that England got all the way to the final, yet only one of their players could make the team of the tournament.

No complaints with Walker though. He is clearly still an excellent right-back. And if he became unavailable, then if fit, you'd probably go for Reece James, Kieran Tripper or Ben White (assuming he might want to come back now Southgate is no longer manager). In fact, perhaps Ben White might be first replacement, given Reece James always seems to be injured and Tripper might be on the decline (given his age and performances for Newcastle last season)

Are you trusting the BBC after your quiz question yesterday?

I saw that and laughed my arse off. I thought Walker was pretty poor - among our worst players. Seemed to be at fault for at least two goals and we didn't really concede many. I figure the new manager will phase him out now.

Always. The BBC is the bastion of truth in this green and pleasant land.
Just like Southgate was the footballing messiah.

But he wasn’t and that’s what the people that voted for him thought. He was covering more than one player. So blame lies with others not doing there jobs. And John Stones was one of them.

For who. People were clamouring for Kane to be replaced before the final and other games but not Walker.

Back to proper football. City are predicted to play 79 games next season.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Stones & Guéhi were our best 2 players imo.
Thought a lad at work was taking the P when he said walker made the team of the tournament.
Thought he played well against Holland.
But some of he’s passing was pretty poor throughout.

If only they had the squad to cope with such struggles

 

[Arthur Wedge]

It doesn’t matter who the FA appoint. It will be the wrong person and the armchair experts will know better.

I’d like to see Bielsa or Emma Hayes.

Going to be a brave country to give the job to a female manager regardless of their success

Would expect to see a club make the jump first

That’s the maximum if they reach the final of every competition they enter isn’t it?
Wouldn’t that be the same for every team from the PL who are in the CL?
The only extra game would be the Community Shield?
