Under achieved at the last 2 tournaments and now he’s sucked the life out of what should be a vibrant squad. See England cricket for what can be achieved in a short space of time with the right people in charge…

Awful manager and should never have been given the job but he’s done well so far. I think he deserves one more tournament and then it’s time to go.

"How fickle football fans are.

To sane rational people he wasn't a god.

He has a very good pool, I'll say pool because he picks a weaker squad from that pool, which is one of his negatives.

He got 2 very lucky draws in the last 2 tournaments. And one of those was basically a home tournament too.

While playing these teams he sets his team up negatively, which is fair enough if you like boring, scrape a victory football, but eventually won't work in every game.

Asking for Southgate to be sacked is a bit harsh, considering what he has achieved with England on the last two competitions.

I would judge Southgate on how well he does the world cup, if the performances are still the same then consider change of new manager.

Any manager that plays HM says enough tbh , HM is probably a nice person but as a center half he is stone useless.

He’s been so lucky with the draws in all the tournaments he’s had. Come up against a decent team, we lose.

I would like to see Southgate out, he should never have had the job. Like others have said he has been fortunate in some of the draws, however with only weeks to go until the World cup starts, is it not too late to bring in a new manager?

He will survive until we get beaten and come home with our tails between our legs I fear.

The players England have mean they play with an explosive, almost improvisational style.

However they can't do that for 90mins.

But they lack the players to slow it down. That's where you need competent defenders who are comfortable on the ball. And a nice QB of a defensive midfielder.

A better coach wins the euros against Italy imo. And a better manager beats Croatia in that semi final. Both of those tournament runs, we only faced beatable opposition with the exception of Belgium in the WC who beat us TWICE in the same tournament- convincingly.

To be fair to Southgate, I think he's doing the best he can with what we have. Yes, we have an explosive attack and great full backs but we're definitely lacking in quality in midfield where we can start our transitions and as a result, our buildup play is non-existent and teams can easily overrun our midfield and get at our shaky defence. Maguire has done well for England but his confidence is shot and there's no quality back up pushing for places.

I don't think we'll do well this world cup and feel it will be Southgate's last tournament.

Are you saying you’ve never seen a convincing 1-0 win? That was a convincing win for Belgium. As in they were the Bette side and controlled the game, no?

I hope it's his last one for his sake, three tournaments is plenty for anyone's stress levels! England look to have a fair draw to the Quarters in the WC then who knows ? We have recent tournament experience and success which is often valuable, and we do have matchwinners up front. I actually think Maguire did Southgate a favour tonight with his mistakes as he can be safely dropped for the WC.

I think Tomori is a very solid defender in good form although Southgate hasn't given him many chances. With Stones and Walker he should be fine.

Rice? I didn't even know kane was on the pitch tonight and when our heads dropped that's when you want a captain to inspire his team onwards... Not start playing out of position.

Bellingham, Saka, Mount and Foden are genuinely exciting players. Would love to see them all start but probably not with Gareth in charge.

Yes, we have an explosive attack and great full backs but we're definitely lacking in quality in midfield where we can start our transitions and as a result, our buildup play is non-existent and teams can easily overrun our midfield and get at our shaky defence. Maguire has done well for England but his confidence is shot and there's no quality back up pushing for places.

I don't think we'll do well this world cup and feel it will be Southgate's last tournament.

I hope it's his last one for his sake, three tournaments is plenty for anyone's stress levels! England look to have a fair draw to the Quarters in the WC then who knows ? We have recent tournament experience and success which is often valuable, and we do have matchwinners up front. I actually think Maguire did Southgate a favour tonight with his mistakes as he can be safely dropped for the WC.

That's true, but I genuinely think Southgate doesn't let the stress get to him and would be more than happy to carry on. Who would you bring in to replace Maguire?

I think Tomori is a very solid defender in good form although Southgate hasn't given him many chances. With Stones and Walker he should be fine.

Yes, I've heard his name being mentioned. Doing well in very good Milan team. Not sure he'd make such a drastic decision before a world cup though "

i like big eric he fits the pivot in the middle well
