I think he acted too late in last night's game, but most other managers would not have even got us to that game.
Gareth Southgate has literally done better than every other England manager since Alf Ramsey!
Needed VAR to give him a heads up on the Jorginho challenge. Had to be a red not that it would have changed the outcome Worry is we’ve lost in the same way we did to Croatia Gareth hasn’t learnt from that so he needs to learn from this!

Controversial but Is he as good a manager as the media would have us believe?Personally I think he is too negative and sets his team's up not to lose rather than to win.The only saves the Italian keeper had to make were the penalties.Discuss.
I like how he hasn't fallen in to the trap of previous managers of "these are my best 11 players, I must get them on the pitch somehow" although then that leads to continuos clamour for a team containing Kane, Sterling, Foden , Sancho and Grealish.I think overall there's an element of moving the ball too slowly but part of me thinks thats still a personnel issue among our team. We don't have (and have rarely had) a midfielder that keeps it ticking over like a Pirlo or Iniesta or Modric. I know those are once in a generation players usually but I still think it's one bit of our puzzle that's missing.
