Gareth Southgates England 09:18 - Mar 24 with 2381 views | fergalsharkey | Really impressed with the style of play, the energy, the shape until we made mass subs. I think h handles himself well, he plays football the right way , and trusts the youngsters. Very positive about the future and good luck to him. | |

I know what you're saying Davblue, I'm not convinced by Southgate either but the England team can only beat what is in front of them and they did that pretty comfortably last night. | |

I’m happier with what he’s trying to do than what I’ve seen from any England manager since Hoddle. Good on you Gareth. | | | |
Gareth Southgates England on 12:02 - Mar 24 with 2120 views | britbiker | Never understood the idea of mass substitutions. The game always loses its flow when it happens and very little can be learnt about the subs in the time they are given. England played well but surprisingly Ali was awful whilst on. | | | |
Gareth Southgates England on 15:38 - Mar 24 with 2000 views | No9 | Two experimental teams provided a reasonable game. England looked OK in the 1st half although there were some strange things - theOx looked good from the K.O. than faded. Englands penetration into the box wasn't good but the build up play & passing was. No established 'stars' with ALL playing for a place. | | | |

It does ruin the last 20 to 30 minutes. Have any managers bothered to play it like a proper game and look to smash the heavily changed team? | |

Gareth Southgates England on 19:12 - Mar 24 with 1855 views | Swansea_Blue | I strongly suspect this is another case of the classic 'England looking ok when it doesn't matter'. It happens all the time. But obviously I hope they do well in the summer where the real acid test will be. I've no idea what the expectation should be though. Getting to the quarters will be as much as we can expect. I see Wilshirte is set to miss the next game too; really surprised by that (not)! | |

Yep, Ali looked hopeless & Vardy didn't get a kick | | | |
