He really is a horse-faced twat.Southgate, not LeeB.
Quote from: Monty on March 16, 2023, 03:31:54 PMSouthgate is the MON of the England men's team. The strengths he has help him overcome his weaknesses right up to the crucial final step - but it's those weaknesses which stop him from taking that.Mind you, a couple of penalties away from the Euros is not a terrible record, or down to the coach at all really.It is down to him as his team should never have had to go to penalties. He's a liability.

Southgate has said we lack depth and that’s why he continually picks the same players. It’s not what he said in 2017 so I guess England will go into the future with the same core group of players and coach who’ve failed when the going gets tough. If Maguire, Dyer, Gallagher and Phillips are the best we’ve got then English football needs to have a long hard look at itself.

Gregg Evans says Watkins (and Mings) deserve an England call up. I think he's hinting at something, and I know some maybe not sure to trust him as being in the know but could well seem accurate here
Both of the following are true:1) Southgate has done a perfectly decent job as England manager2) Southgate could have done a better job as England manager
Duran and Buendia called up for their squads
