- Dive into the gripping narrative of Gareth Southgate's tumultuous tenure as England's national team manager. In this episode of 'Pitch Report,' we unravel the rollercoaster journey from his unremarkable playing days to the controversial managerial decisions that shaped-and ultimately dashed-a nation's football dreams.
Kane shouldn’t of had as much playing time as he did, sorry to say it as I like the guy but there are others who should of been on the pitch instead of him 🤷♂️
The question is then whether to play Watkins or Toney?
02:08 "Despite his club achievements" ? What achievements ? He never won a trophy anywhere he played.
Two league cup wins,Aston villa, Middlesbrough.
@@daveratcliffe1016 What are you talking about ? Harry Kane never even played for Middlesbrough or Aston Villa.
@@WEstHamUTD777 I was talking about Southgate.
Southgate thinks that tactics are a small white mint sweet.
He couldn't even get the tictac box open,
Greetings from Germany near Cologne. Forgive me if I interfere with my German perspective.
Twice in the final, isn't it a great performance? Spain and France are teams which can surprisingly score at the end of a match, even in extra time.
Our German TV experts, international players among them, were not so bad. Matthäus stated that Bellingham and Kane were excellent players but seemed to be tired and worn out after a hard season.
One aspect was interesting which was hardly mentioned by English experts. English fans experience that the Premier League plays the football they prefer. But a World Cup tournament is different. 0-1 it is possible to achieve a draw, but it is seldom the case that a
0-2 can be changed. Thus the defensive is of major importance, Southgate did what all the rest was doing, Spain did not play in the same way than Real Madrid, they knew this as well.
Germany: WC 1982 - lost against Italy. - WC 1986 - lost against Argentinia - 1990 Winner against Argentinia, with the same coach (Beckenbauer) - EC: 1988: Defeat against the Netherlands in Germany (semi final) - 1992: Defeat in the final against Denmark - 1996:
Winner in the final against CZECH Republic (in London), the CZECH Republic had beaten us before. It's an up and down in football.
English media are crucial: First: Criticizing Southgate - Then he became a hero and now one
prefers to crucify him.
As I'm elderly: 1966: England was prepared to win the Championship, they all worked together and a top team was created. I recommend the following book: David Miller: England's last glory, the boys of 66Pavilion Books 1986 ISBN 1 86205 729.
You make some great points about the ups and downs in football and the importance of defense in international tournaments. It's always interesting to hear how different countries view the same events. Appreciate the book recommendation too!
A team of in form players who nearly lost every match and it is very difficult to not feel sorry for Slovakia
Now all top teams like Germany, Spain or Brazil stunned by Southgate's tactical brilliance are going to be queuing at his house begging for him to sign up for them. 😂😂🤡🤦
Not to mention all the big Premier League clubs and others across Europe....
😆
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them?
Pity Southgate resigned cause with england would win nothing
Lineker for England 😉 🤗 😁 😅 😂
They give the knee well mind
Two million a year come on and that includes all the multi millionaires on the field to much while the fans pay
Player
So he played for his national team. In a country that has about 20 golden generations. Out of 40 odd defenders he was one of 2 but he was average. He played on the only english team at the time to ever make it to a euro final as a starter. But he was an avg player. So why was he selected nepotism? And if it was on merit? what what does that say about all the defenders he surpassed in the league? In a country which has the best players in the world.
Coach
He took an over rated country with over hyped players to 3 semifinsls and 2 finals including one for the 1st time out of England.
Let me sum it up.
He took a country of underwhelming players with a modest history of success and made them over achieve.
And now they believe they could fly.
Ungratefulness is worst than witchcraft.
Lost intrest when he made the team WOKE and ignored talent in favour of diversity
African b team
What exactly is 'rocky' about being unbeaten in the WC 2018 qualifiers, reaching the semi final of that W/C, 7 wins and 1 defeat in the Euros 2020 qualifiers, reaching the final of Euro 2020, unbeaten in the WC 2022 qualifiers, reaching the quarter finals of that W/C where they lost to beaten finalists France, unbeaten in the qualifiers for Euro 2024, reaching the final of Euro 2024. Throw in only 4 defeats in 23 friendly matches and you have a record that most top tier international mangers would be rewarded with a contract extension. The English only think they should be winning trophies for the same reason they have just 'the FA' (not the' English FA') on their jerseys: unbridled arrogance even in the face of an unrelenting and unflattering reality.
Southgate has definitely achieved a lot and brought stability to the team. It’s always interesting to see different takes on his tenure and what fans expect from the national team.
All very good, but time to move on - Southgate fell short when it really mattered, with England missing real opportunities to win at least one trophy when getting so close (especially the last Euros final, but also this one & the WC semi in 2018 too)
Not every Englishman thinks we should be winning trophies; we're not all arrogant. I as an Englishman would have liked the performances to be considerably better than they were at this year's Euros but hey. As a coach Southgate and the team performed admirably at Euro 2020, but I genuinely feel that the team have gone backwards... and that is down to Southgate not being ruthless enough; namely that he should NOT have played Kane. No wonder Toney was upset at not having more game-time. No, when Southgate confessed after the final that Kane was not at the level he wanted him at, I was enraged. In fact, that admission was enough for him to be sacked immediately IMHO. And that my friend is NOT arrogance
You seriously including QUALIFIERS? FFS they always had pish easy Qualifying draws.
Quite so. Statistically England are on a par with Portugal but stylistically have more in common with Belguim. They are both physically strong, not particularly technically adept but England’s overall record is slightly better. Like England, Belguim had some very good players in the 1960’s and 70’s; Lambert, Van Moer, Van Himst, Van der Elst and in the 80’s; Gerets, Ceulemans, Coeck, Vandenburgh etc. They have twice been World Cup semi-finalists and in the European Championship, runners up and semi-finalists.
People shouldn’t expect any more from England than the Belgians do from their team. The idea that England is some sort of elite footballing nation is nonsense and only has its roots in the fact that the game originated in these islands, but it was the Scottish who really adapted and refined it.
The World Cup victory in 1966 was due to home advantage, a handful of their best players ever, three of whom - Peters, Moore & Hurst were developed by England’s best ever coach - Ron Greenwood, whose West Ham side didn’t play traditional English football.
The success at club level in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s was greatly assisted by Scots, Welsh and Irish players.
England have never produced players skilful enough (with a handful of exceptions) for the very highest international standards due to the league’s physical, results-oriented football (which is what the fans really want) and because we have still not accepted the fact that coaching is a vital part of the game.
Another fact that is not often appreciated by English critics is that other managers are successful because they have a lot of really talented players at their disposal, and a manager cannot do a good job without the necessary resources in terms of human material. So, with limited resources, Southgate played the only way he can and when compared to other England managers I think he's performed a minor miracle.
