Re: England vs Switzerland
I’d be interested to know if VAR would have been used if Alli’s header had scored.
Correct decision against Wilson.

Re: England vs Switzerland
With the time it’s taking for VAR to be used I can envisage a lot more posts on here next season complaining about the amount of “early leavers”

Re: England vs Switzerland
Watching Gareth Southgate's England is nearly always painful.
An almost complete inability to score goals from open play coupled with suicidal (and boring) tapping about at the back.

Re: England vs Switzerland
But sadly if Mee and Tarks were in the England squad they'd be instructed to play the same suicidal tippy-tappy crap that Southgate has instigated.Vino blanco wrote:I went down to my local here in Spain yesterday and one of my mates, who is a Spurs fan, said words to the effect of " if Burnley's defence and keeper had been playing for England, Holland would never have scored".
England need a better manager more urgently than different defenders.

Venables W11 D11 L1 and in the 5 games at Euro96 we were average at best in 3 of them. Also the football we played in the friendlies was absolutly tedious and not a patch on the Football Southgates team play at times
Southgate W19 D9 L7
The best England team we've had in the last 40 years was Sven's 2004 team

Glenn Hoddle could and should have been the best England manager of the past 50 years.

Re: England vs Switzerland
He’s got the euros to prove his mettle tbf . The qualifiers are pretty much walkovers so it’s a hiding to nothing for any manager .These lads will develop no doubt . That said another mediocre display against bang average opposition
Semis in the euros will be the target imo.

Re: England vs Switzerland
If you think Southgate has already proven to be better than Bobby Robson and Terry Venables fair enough but I certainly don't. Southgate has obviously done a good job. Incidentally Southgate said this about Venables: "Terry opened my eyes to things that no one else has. He has fantastic tactical awareness. Every senior player in the group went away having learnt a lot from him, which is an achievement."bobinho wrote:You lost credibility at “T” I’m afraid.

Re: England vs Switzerland
All opinion but that 90 world cup campaign wasnt that great. We drew with Ireland with a poor performance, hung on to a 0-0 against the Dutch then scraped through 1-0 against Egypt (when those sides were really poor) with a Mark Wright headerbobinho wrote:Don’t give a shiny shite what stats say to me.. my eyes tell

Belgium outplayed us and we scraped through with the last kick of extra time and then we were 10 mins off Cameroon knocking us out needing 2 penaltys and extra time to finally win
The whole British pop culture exploding (madchester) crossing over with football (New Order) plus Gazza plus a brilliant performance against Germany clouded over how average we really were. Look at our qualifying campaign too we were not very good
Compare it to the qualifying campaign for 2004 followed by the football we played against France, Switzerland, Croatia and Portugal in the tournament and without the nostalgia and sentiment 2004 is the best we have been since 66
