  1. That fee for Gallager who is shite or injured 95% of the time is good business for a normal club to re-invest.....we are far from a normal club. The squad as it stands is a shocker. Needs a lot more incomings to survive the season.
  2. If we sell Szmodic and use the funds soley "to cover running costs" I think im done until this lot clear off. Nearly £30m of player sales and nothing incoming. Odds on certs for relegation which almost seems to be intentional. Not sure after 30 years I can muster any more energy to follow us under the current set up. Shame.
  3. To be honest Im still not sure how we got to the final. Apart from one half against the dutch we were terrible to watch and rode our luck many times. Spain were miles better. However, you still have to congratulate them on reaching a final...but youre not going to win playing that poorly over a tournament. Think this goes down as another missed opportunity and a lot could have been better. Great squad, but no fit left back, blindly sticking with an injured looking Kane, not using players like Gordon, Eze, Bowen at all when were desperate for some pace on the counter attack too defensive mindset to name a few. Apart from his ridiculously late subs, my main issues with Soutgate are 1. why so cautious when all your best players are high pressing attackers and 2. What is the style of play? Is it possession, is it counter attack? We dont seem to have any plan really. Spain on paper are no better but look like a well oiled machine with a set play style. We on the otherhand slowly pass it around until someone produces some individual skill or we loose it. Why does Saka look so exiting for Aresnel but mr play it safe for england? It can only be Southgate. I think were long overdue a change. Not a bad sign off I guess.
  4. Much better performance than any other game this tournament. First half apart from their one long range strike, we were all over them. The only downside was that we didnt come in at half time 2 or 3-1 up. The second half was tight as the dutch packed the midfield. I personally think Southgate should be brave and drop Kane for the final. Hes definately carrying some sort of injury. Hes completely immobile and innefecitve bar penalties. You dont score 40+ goals in the bundesliga moving as little as he is at the moment. Hes not even holding it up well. Given spain will have a lot of the ball and well have to counter attack more that suits Watkins far more than Kane. I doubt hell do this though.
  5. Spain are a million miles ahead of us this tournament in terms of having a plan, working as a team and moving the ball qucikly and effectively. This falls on the hopeless manager we have rather than the actual players in my opinion. Luckiest manager of the last 20 years with the draws hes had in recent tournaments.
  6. He's fucking useless is southgste. Massive squad 75 mins and no subs. Gets out thought evey game. Absolute liability. Doesn't deserve any of the accolades he's had. Pretty much think it's all been luck.
  7. I reckon if they replaced him for the next game we'd immediately play a lot better.
  8. 2 subs out of 5 used. This is a managerial meltdown. Awful.
  9. This is crazy. So many options and he's made one sub by 80 mins. It's mental. That was due to injury as well
  10. This is getting weird. Even the most shite manager in world football can see its not working. Why does he never make subs. Its bizarre like somethings going on behind the scenes.
  11. This is horrendous. Southgate has to be the worst manager at the tournament. How to do you set a team up to play so slow and dull. It's almost an achievement.
  12. Can they sack a manager half way through a tournament
  13. Need a goal....change a defender. Southgate ball. Wish we had some decent attackers on the bench...oh wait.
  14. Southgate ball....absolute bore of a man. This sideways pass hasn't worked for 80 mins. Get some direct runners on. Watkins for kane and Gordon for Bellingham (been anonymous).
  15. Southgate is the biggest con In football. He's absolutely clueless. Any decent manager would have bettered his results with this squad...and played better football.
  16. Amazing rise from Adam in the last 6 months. I knew we'd lost a top talent but I'm surprised just how quickly he's become noticed. Playing with better players has obviously allowed his play style to flourish. He'll be worth £50-60m already now. Even more if he gets a few games at the euros. Shrewd business from Palace to effectively triple his value in 6 months. He's the sort of player Guardiola and Arteta will like the look of.
  17. Maddison and Jones have been cut from the Squad before Wharton. He does play a role where Southgate have said we havent got much choice so if he's impressed in training he's got a chance. I think it will be between himself and Bowen for the last spot.
  18. One of the sky sports pundit has also added him in their England squad that should go to the Euros. He won't this summer but he's going to be on their radar straight after. He'd be valued at 60-70 million at his age If he gets a cap. We definitely undersold him as we were begging for some cash quick, but I've been surprised how easily he's adapted to the prem. Thought he'd be a reserve for a year or so.
  19. Odd account on twitter saying Broughton has been sacked after falling out with Swag about summer plans. Might be nonsense though. Main aims for summer have to be: 1. Someone else who can score. 2. More pace. 3. Central midfield quality.
  20. The other sides doing what they need to do. One goal against and were down at the moment. Loosing v shef weds and not beating 10 man coventry at home are where we properly funked it up
  21. I think half the squad know they wont be here next season and haven't got any fight in them. I honestly don't think some of them care that much, Hyam, Ayari, Morton, Chrisiene, Gallagher all spring to mind. Id also include the manager in that. He's been dour. I can see us staying up by a point or so as Brum or Plymouth get a draw. Cant see any chance at all of a performance of our own! Lost all interest in Rovers at the moment unfortunately. Tough time to be a fan.
  22. When you've got a squad full of cheap journeymen run by crooks this is what happenes. One decent gave every month but mostly they don't really care. Most of them won't be here next year. Years of neglect catching up big time. Struggling to care as much anymore. Sad.
  23. Wow! After the midweek debacle and Plymouths win last night that's a humongous result. Didn't see it coming. It's frustrating how jekyll and Hyde this lot are. Looking good for Ipswich. Leicester and Leeds doing their best to throw it away. Didn't they only come up this season?
