Massively overhyped keeper who has the odd good game and then his errors aren’t talked about because the kopite media hate Pickford after he clattered Van Dijk. It showed tonight though, he’s nowhere near ready to start at a World Cup. Pickford is the best English keeper by an absolute mile.
It is the perfect combination of the power of two of the favourite media teams coming together. Liverpool hate Pickford and Arsenal are also big media favourites. As a result Pickford will never be accepted
 

Southgate has taken them to a semi final and a final, so yeah, wouldn't mind him getting jibbed off before he ends up winning something

It's a weird one, he's done better than any other manager in like 50 odd years or something so it seems insane the way English people talk about him but at the same time he bottled both the World Cup Semi and Euro Final in exactly the same manner... and I fully expect the same to happen this world cup if we get to squeaky bum time.

You get to a final or semi you need to go all out, he doesn't seem to get this and thinks he can win the biggest prizes in football through being cautious. Nothing is more annoying than watching your side intentionally not attempt to control a game and instead just sit back and hope as he did against Croatia and Italy.

Greece say hello!
 
Greece say hello!

True, though they didnt really have any other option than parking the bus given the calibre of their squad.

Nope he hasn't been around in quite awhile. Although we still don't have a solidified striker lolevery window is a new audition for the current flavor of the month

What happened to that lad who was smashing it up in championship at end of the last season ?
 

Greece say hello!
Greece were not expecting to win the Euros and were one of the favs on the first plane home.

England have an abundance of attacking talent all over with household names and Southgate sets them up with 7 defensive players playing the most dire boring one dimensional insomniac Football like they are some International minnow just hoping to God they can nick a result.
 
Some regrettable articles in retrospect


 
It’s weird. On one hand you want to say Southgate is wasting a golden generation with the negative lineups and tactics but he’s also got us to a final and a semi so feels wrong to criticise.
