For a sports editor you talk the biggest load of bollocks in your defence of G.Southgate.
Fans are fed up with mediocrity they fed-up with his caution, they are fed up with the lack of charisma in the side its too ordinary, we are picked off with alarming ease because teams know how we play.
It's got fuck all to do with his political stance
in a sense he could be the devils old own providing he had a successful outfit that played football with a smile on their face and not the drudgery face we have to contend with at present.
We get bored with repetition we get bored with the same bunch doing groundhog days it's his team so he gets the short end of the stick for heavens sake it not the man.......... it's the way we play and Hungary was the last straw it was humiliiating to watch.
It's got nothing to do with politics it's football
that fans care about

Mate just rang saying read John Cross in the Miirror
I kid you not

"Gareth Southgate is ready to go back to basics to turn around England's fortunes
Fans had better brace themselves for a return to a conservative style of football
ahead of the World Cup in November
Southgate wants England to be winners rather than entertainers so his attacking experiment is now over"

You couldn't make it up if you tried.

I blame Emily Nugent

 

[Sohofox]

What attacking experiment?
They haven't scored a single goal in open play for 4 games.

She’d never been the same since Ernie Bishop was killed in that robbery

Same experiment Rodgers tried for Zonal Marking and defending corners/set pieces.

you win things or succeed by taking chances, l don't mean chances on goal so much, but the way you play and your intent. Leicester City and England do not take chances so will never ever win anything.

Its the risk v reward ratio !

The never winning things statement is only true for one of the two teams.

Compare with England cricket's test victory earlier this week - under McCullum and Stokes risks were taken in the first innings (Stokes' run a ball 48) to ensure there was enough time in the match for us to mount a 4th inning run chase, which was ultimately executed with some verve

Oops - didn't realise there was a whole other thread on this topic!

I think he means the wild attacking experiment of only playing 6 defensive players instead of his usual 7. Still it was fun while it lasted,
