Has anyone ever seen Southgate

Yeah, he basically did what anyone would do with the subs cept I'd have put in Gordon. No tactical genuis there. Don't think it was a pen either but in saying that I knew exactly what Dunfries was doing. If he didn't get the ball he was intimidating Kane with a karate kick that he knew would follow through on his swinging foot. To the letter of the law I suppose.

GS needs to start on the front foot with an attacking team selection against Spain and not the defensive shiite or its goodnight. Spain with find a way through.

But yeah, it was a better performance to be fair. It couldn't have been anything else really.

The question is whether winning is more important than the entertainment factor. As Newcastle fans with little experience of winning anything of note, we tend to believe there is more to football than winning. I still believe that to be true despite Southgate’s relative success as England manager.

Perfect sum up I feel Bix.
