Man should just select his job well if he will leave Germany after the euros

Barca should be his perfect place to replace xavi ,but my club might have another plans in mind

LooL.

You are well within your rights to judge him that way. Cos I can’t see why England had to play that horribly against Italy just because Luke Shaw scored an early goal.

Southgate is not an elite manager.

Ibime knows why. He failed to put a man on the maestro Jorginho.

He had offered us this top analysis after the game.

Kilishihunter:

Omo this euros might be more competitive than the last sha, I know it's a friendly but this German side looked like the old swashbuckling Germany of old, perfect mix of experience and youth especially with the legend kroos's return

Toni Kroos too dey give me joy. I love that guy. Anytime he hold ball, I go dey anticipate one line breaking pass or one diagonal with pinpoint accuracy. Pass master and metronome extraordinaire.

Let’s get one thing clear first. Southgate is a wack manager. Any good performance by an England player is not because Southgate knows how to use the player.

Secondly, Bellingham and Foden are both at their best in advanced central areas. Foden excelling on the right wing for Pep is because of a well-oiled machine that Pep created at City, which is not the case for England. Bellingham at the 10 and Foden on the wing will likely fail because of lack of fluidity (Bellingham) and lack of penetration (Foden).

The only solution that MIGHT have them in the same side with a successful outcome is if Bellingham sacrifices and drops into the 8 position and Foden plays the 10 position. The obvious question with Bellingham at the 8 and Foden at 10 is the possible lack of defensive solidity if Bellingham can’t maintain positional discipline. Another question is, how good is he really as a CM if he is not scoring goals.

Otherwise, one of them has to start at the 10 position while the other holds the bench, so that true 1v1 wingers like Saka, Bowen, Gordon, Rashford can play to offer a threat behind the opposition.

Getting both in the same team requires a fair bit of shoehorning, and might lead to a tactical imbalance, which is why I compared it to the Gerrard/Lampard situation.

Foden is likely to be an impact player from the bench at the Euros. Like you said: Saka offers more width and penetration than him at the RW. Also true for the LWs where the likes of Rashford, Gordon, or even Sterling are better options IMO. Foden's main competition should be Bellingham but from the past year's England games (including yesterday's), I think it's clear that Bellingham brings more to the team than him and has a better dynamic with Kane's tendency to drop back into MF role. Foden couldn't impose himself yesterday and was barely existent when he moved to the 10 role after the Bellingham sub.

If Man City goes on to win big trophies this season, Southgate will be in a very difficult position. He knows starting Foden from the bench might be the best tactical setup but that will incur the wrath of English fans who rates Foden as the best English talent. Walahi, big decisions ain't easy as a Coach but a man with balls has to make them!

It's very clear to me. Foden is a bench player for England

If Southgate mumu, he should let pundits pressure get to him

Yeah. The best solution would be for one of them to chop bench. With the way the team is set up with their mechanical football and a relativity slow striker like Kane who also likes to drop deep, the better option would be Bellingham. In a vacuum, I prefer Foden as a 10 but in this haram style England team Bellingham might be the better option.

It’s not even the fans alone that are giving strange recommendations. I think Shearer was asking for Southgate to play Kane as the 10 and play Bellingham in CM with Foden on the wings.

🤷

Foden and Bellingham might be the new Gerrard and Lampard. Playing one of them out of position in order to shoehorn them into the starting lineup might be England's undoing. That, and having a tactically inept manager of course.

I’d keep Bellingham and bench Foden if it were me - that’s if I can’t find the right structure to accommodate them both. Foden’s better days are when he operates in the half space between left wing and inside forward / AM. Pairing him with an extremely offensive LB would be ideal. But Southgate put him on the right side.

Bellingham, on the other hand, is an all-rounder. If he’s given the license to roam he’ll cause damages.

Of the duo, he played a tad better. The fact that several forwards had a quiet game was telling. Ollie Watkins, Foden, and to an extent Bellingham and Gordon didn’t cause any real damage.

An abundance of talent is the kind of headache that exposes coaches that aren’t that good. Slap’ing together any formation would’ve been enough to decimate the likes of San Marino and Malta, but when a tougher opposition comes along they’ll be found out.

🚨🔴 Gallagher do 24 passes for 75 minutes, while Mainoo do 20 for 15 minutes with 100% pass completion. Na so you suppose control ball for international level.

Start am next to Rice for Euros. #MUFC

Southgate will collect sticks from Media/fans/pundits no matter the team he puts out at the Euros. So make baba just choose the players that he believes will give England the best chance of winning the tourney (I expect them to crash at Semi/Quarter stage though).

What i have observed is that ex-players from continental Europe tend to have superior tactical insight when talking about football, whereas those ex-England players usually give strange input.

It's not surprising. Even EPL quality only became better after the top clubs switched to having foreign players as the main core of their team.

Now it's across the whole league. The Spanish, Germans, Dutch, etc also tend to have better coaches which is a indication of their higher tactical understanding of the game.

He might not start though

He be should not even start. The English press like to build up a player very high in order pull him down. Mainoo should be a sub and avoid the pressure. He only started playing regularly in November.

Gallagher is a mediocre CM and his AM chaos causing is not needed in a team that has Bellingham, Foden, Maddison. He should not even be in the squad if everyone is fit.

With everyone fit I would play Curtis Jones as the CM and Mainoo can come in for him as his sub. Jones has Gallagher’s energy but he is also bigger, stronger, and more technically secure.

Are you sure Curtis jones will even make it to the euros

Gallagher ,Lol

Jones most likely won’t. He is yet to make his debut and he has also missed nearly 3 months of this season and will struggle to get enough minutes in the Liverpool midfield because of the form of McAllister and Szob, but he is better than Gallagher as a CM.

Foden the system player. Palmer is the better player if you have football knowledge. Time shall tell though that I was right.

Liverpool’s old boys association is filled with quack pundits.

I said it here that England is overhyped, playing passive football and think you can win Euro or any cup. Players like Maguire and Gallagher should not be starting.

Saka remains the best English player. Followed by Bellingham. Foden na man city system player.

Walahi!!!! Palmer and Raheem better pass am.

Why do you think Mount dey bench am?

Those English fans are deluded.

Chaiiiiii!!! I forgot Kane baba. Yeaaaaaah! Foden bawoooo!

Cr7 need to retire if he love football, his influence is retrogressing this sport. Almost every kids out there want to be a scorer so that they can celebrate sui, the sport is currently short of good defenders or even midfielders. Thank God for Messi that added a lot to his game play which inspire some left footies we are seeing today.
