Well Southgate’s just said that he decided on who was taking the penalties. He will always protect the players and take the blame. Probably his job and moral compass. So did he pick the penalty takers, or is it a lie? I am absolutely fed up of being happy to accept second best- too many people just think getting to a final is enough; it’s nothing if you lose; you get exactly the same reward as you do for being knocked out in round one. We had the attacking potential to make Italy worry, yet we were a carbon copy of TP’s Stoke- go a goal up, try and hang on and reap the inevitable whirlwind. Southgate has improved England as a team - that is clear. Is he capable of taking them to the Winner’s table or will his inherent negativity always hold them back? It’s alright being a nice guy , protecting your players, personally I’d like someone who is committed to winning; I’m not sure Southgate actually has that about him.

It's such a shame his crossing isn't this consistent. Involving his kids in it is proper classless too. Must be an Irish thing?

We literally don't have the mental strength and belief to win big games, we have skill and pace and a deadly striker but we caved in to pressure and became afraid to win. Southgate has done well to make the final but we were completely outplayed and out fought by desire and belief inho by a hardworking team nothing more nothing less a team who wanted to win and would do anything to make it happen. People scoff at passion and drive but that's what our side is lacking. Gary Neville summed it up against Denmark he loved playing for Man Utd but not so much his country he wasn't bothered. I didn't see any of our side coaches or players driving the side on we're too "calm" if there is such a thing. Harsh but Southgate doesn't drive his team forward he stands there like a lemon ffs Gareth its a final get them fucking going.

4th at the WC, 3rd at Nations Lge, 2nd at Euros....1st at WC?
It's definitely progress to be getting to the deep end of these tournaments now.
What needs to happen now is to study why we lost and learn from it for next time and drill that into the players coming through.
We didn't actually lose to anyone all tournament, and beat some decent sides playing effective, composed, controlled football. I'm disappointed with the manner of the performance tonight, because outside of the first 25 minutes that didn't happen, but overall it has to be used to show that English national teams can do well at these tournaments.

It was enjoyable whilst it lasted and brought the country together for some much needed excitement. For me, Southgate didn’t use his substitutions early enough and didn’t change the tactics when it was clear the Italians were on top.Best team on the night won but well done for getting to the final and giving the fans something to cheer. It’ll come home next year😉 Carbon copy of Croatia Was there to be won.....again Thanks for your insight👍

No moral high ground here. As a father I'm absolutely stunned he's done it. I listened to him on the radio when he was complaining about the abuse he receives and how some of it is aimed at his kids, and here he is dressing one of them up on social media in an Italy shirt to get a reaction. Appalling.

Yeah, fair enough totally see that, but i don't think it's missing the point, merely fleshing it out to it's rightful full context rather than placing all the blame on Southgate. Where are the media/fan's favourites/older pro's/actual goalscorers stepping up? I'm sorry, but for the likes of Sterling and Grealish (even Henderson) to leave it to centre backs and teenagers is fuking poor! Rashford and Sancho are two of the best attackers in world football. My issue is Sancho should have been on for Saka after the first 15 mins of extra time. And then letting Saka take one. He looked like a rabbit in the headlights all game. So many chances to avoid the situation. [ Rashford is not even one of the best attackers in Manchester he’s not in the top 4 let alone one for the best in the world
