Quote“”Pmsl,
Typical English fan with his it’s coming home rose tinted glasses on reply,
“We won more knockout games under him”Fantastic stat lets be proud hey,
and how many times did we play a FIFA top ten ranked side in those “knockout games”? infact in any game under him ?
And out of those games, how many did we win ?
And how many trophies did we win ?””QuoteSame old bullshit quote “How many decent sides did he beat”
From World Cup 90 until Southgate took over we won a huge 2 knockout games inside 90 minutes against the mighty Ecuador and Denmark. 2 games over a period that included 7 World Cups and 7 Euros.
Over that period we failed to beat the likes of Nigeria, Algeria, USA, Costa Rica, Romania and Iceland.
So over 14 major tournaments, the likes of Capello, Sven, Hoddle, Robson and McLaren also never beat a so called major nation in a knock out game and certainly never made a final.
Spain are better than us. They are technically better than us by a country mile. They were also better than France, Germany and Italy so no shame in losing that final.
I am sure Southgate will have regrets about the Italy final but then I’m sure City have regrets about the 2013 FA Cup Final, 2014 Semi Final and 2018 5th Round. That is football.
I don’t believe there is a good candidate to take over from Southgate. He shouldn’t have been hounded out like he has been
It will probably be Carsley or Potter so good luck with that
Best squad of players? Really?
Scholes Lampard Gerrard Beckham
Terry Ferdinand Campbell
Owen Shearer Rooney
To name but a few of the last 20 years who never got to a final and often didn’t make it past the quarters
Took over a team that had just gone out to Iceland and had the farce of having Big Sam as manager for one game.
You’ve all got your way. Let’s watch the shit show that follows
Southgate is so called not fit to burn yet we have won more knockout games under him than we did between 1966 and him taking over
So it’s the managers fault even though our star players massively underperformed 🤷♂️
Please give us your wisdom on who gets the job in his place?
Glass half empty as usual.
Yes he’s had 2 years dogged by injury but I’d rather take heart from his year before that when by all accounts he was smashing it enough for Liverpool to pay £6.5m for him
And now Kerr has signed as well. Should stop all the negativity towards the owners interests in the club………but it won’t!!!
I agree with you regards his affect on the team. Had more poor games than good games (Bolton being his best performance).
I just think people are reading too much into why he has gone back early
The very next line reads
“It’s a personal reason, we’ll see what happens”
Then when asked if he’ll be back at Latics by the end of the season he replied “Maybe”
How do people get there is a bust up from that? Talk about people creating an agenda over what could be nothing other than a family problem back home?
Good post CW
Definitely need to work on a plan B in the Summer when playing against the “shite” teams.
Players like Matty Smith and Thelo need to play way further forward instead of being on the defenders toes all the time.
Our system works really well against the good teams but we have to be a lot more positive against the “sit in deep” teams.
Just read the ’12th Man’ collumn that Kendrick churns out with comments from the same old folk who love to blow smoke up the clubs arse on a regular basis.
I keep seeing comments of people saying ‘we are safe’, er not quite. We have 4 games left and 3 are away games that I haven’t got any hope for. One is against a club being revived by a new manager, Charlton, then there is Lincoln who are battling to go up, and then Portsmouth who are going for the title. If we lose these 3 and Cheltenham are picking up points, it could be squeaky bum time. They we’ve got Bristol Rovers at the DW last game. With how we’ve been, I can’t say I’d be confident of beating them.
Nobody can defend Maloney and how bad we are, surely?
Anybody who doesn’t think it’s all too bad, I hope you enjoy the 5000 crowds next season unless things change.
You won’t need new underpants for a squeaky bum Vat69. Mathematically safe already
