I actually quite like Gareth Southgate but let's be honest here, he made some unforgivable mistakes. This was a squad with no weak links at all. I'm looking at the combined age of Bonucci and Chiellini and wondering why the young attacking players weren't encouraged to run at them.

Is this serious? And people are liking it? I feel like I am taking crazy pills here. They are a solid young team that is arguably a top 3 team in Europe and they finished second. If they go all attack, I think they get stuffed by Italy. I agree with the subs, should have used them more, and I hate bringing on guys for the last 2 minutes to take a penalty. Have guys who have a feel for the game taking them. But at the end of the day the guy was a couple penalties away from winning.
I can totally get behind saying he made some mistakes, but there have been some crazy takes about him on here.
