Both of those things would be quite big for England fans. Unless we got battered in the final then I'd like to think people would view the tournament positively. It is harder maybe for Southgate because he walked into the job on the back of nothing really so he doesn't have the successful club managerial career to fall back on. I think if we beat Germany most fans will be happy to get the monkey off there back. What route is forecast, against who has little or no value. Get past what’s in front of you before worrying about what you might encounter. Going by the FA , GS has a future regardless of ability or results which I find diabolical given it’s should not be about him, but what’s good for the country on the world stage.

Dan1234 1,048 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Southgate showing he's a cowardly lion. We shouldn't be dropping our best players against any team left in the tournament. How about we let Germany worry about stopping Foden and Grealish instead of going negative. Anyways... Come on England 1 Link to post Share on other sites

AnglianRed 6,229 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Honestly I'm genuinely worried. Regardless of previous performances, Germany have some quality players and we should not be taking them lightly, or expect to beat them. I can understand Southgate's caution to a certain extent, but I'm not happy with the players and formation he has chosen. Even allowing for Germany's attacking threat I feel its overly conservative. My main worry is that he will try to have England "manage" the game as we have done previously and that it will either end 0-0, go to penalties and we lose...again, or we'll simply lose in normal time due to lack of attacking effort. It really does seem he is so obsessed with what's happened in the past, that he is afraid to use the attacking talent at his disposal. I really am worried that his efforts to match Germany man for man will be our downfall. If by some chance we actually win, I will delete this post and pretend I never wrote it...

The Twitter post they put out earlier today requesting respect was full of people saying everyone does it so they will too. Don't know where they've heard it elsewhere, daft as.
