Southgate

[toptoon]

Takes one (injured) true LB to a major tournament.

Enters a major tournament with at least 4 players out of position in the starting line up.

Declares he’s doing an ‘experiment’ in the starting line up in a major tournament

Plays only for draws/not to lose in the group stage.

Brings the same subs on for every game (claimed as a masterstroke by some in the semi final).

Fails to try ANY alternative attacking options in the final group game in a team clearly misfiring, before which England had already qualified.

Managed to stifle the talent of a golden generation by negative and inept tactics.

Gives the U21 Euros player of the tournament (and therefore voted the best in Europe (yes, Yamal and Williams)!!!) less than 5 minutes on the pitch.

Have I missed any?

Fails to use Gordon who was given a couple of minutes plus injury time and in that period had the commentators on the edge of their seats declaring "he's come on and in a few seconds provides the two best passes of the game after making acres of space"

They and other notable names were saying that Gordon must be used more.

No pressing at the top end of the pitch. Ranked 15th in this in the tournament.

Reactive and not proactive. When equalised the initiative should have been taken to go on the front foot but no, it was back to the low block inviting pressure with no legs to counter ie bring Gordon on.
