    Name the manager who..

    . Names the same team regardless of how well they play
    . Plays the same tactics regardless of the opposition
    . Has no Plan B
    . Is a snappy dresser.

    Clue: It's not Paul Warne.

    There's an obvious answer, but the reality is that beyond the first eleven the rest of the squad were not up to the standard needed, so he was a bit limited in what he could do.
    It's not Stubbsy, but some of the description fits!

    His only plan worked for 45 mins and the game should have been over at half time poor finishing cost England,but after that he was clueless and let down by the fact that he did nothing till it was too late,think everybody who watched was screaming for changes but he did nothing,got no pedigree as a manager so what did you expect !!

    Why all this now we have lost,we were never going to win.With our limitations we did well to get as far has we did.In terms of class football it was poor.

    Yes indeed, had home advantage and got battered 5-2 by Brazil

    To be fair England's performance in this tournament has given the population (mainly the white caucasian ones looking at the crowds at the various big screen showings) a bit of a lift.

    Yes it's a limited team, yes he's a limited skill set manager, yes we had an advantageous draw, but overall we did ok.

    Folks are now talking about this squads potential, but in my opinion I think we've peaked already. The league set up at home both at grass roots and up to the premiership is a flawed model when it comes to producing a world class England team.

    The players decided to play hoof ball in the second half , I'm pretty certain it wasn't Southgate's plan .

    It was cringing at the naivety of it in all honesty .

    Learning curve for Southgate too , Rose should have come on for Ashley Young much much earlier , he was dreadful in the second half .

    I would have liked to have seen Southgate leave the dug out early in the second half screaming at the players to start playing football again .
