Don't take your chances....no progression....

Same at every level isn’t it, it’s not the chances you make, it’s the chances you take.

Useless Mount. Bye bye Gareth.

All the best. Big Keith Scott.

Indeed back to losing and not qualifying for major tournaments.

Any manager who brings Mount and Sterling on to save a game whilst leaving Maddison on the bench deserves ousting. Bye bye Gareth.

All the best. Big Keith S.

If you don't take your chances, you don't deserve to win. I do think one side-effect some of us have as fans of a team with Farke as the previous manager at the helm, is that we've become more accustomed to pretty football as a baseline so we're more forgiving of managers that play "nicer", more technical football than we do of managers that mainly focus on off-the-ball and on defence - and consider that more "deserving" as a result.

Swansea had more shots on target but they were mainly half-chances. They didn't deserve to win.

If the score finishes 2-1 then the following should be said above all: France took their chances when they came. England couldn't even score all their penalties. If you can't score a free, unpressured shot on goal from 12 yards out (or at least put the bleeder on target), you do not deserve to win.

So similar to us, a manager that can't get anything close to the best out of a very talented squad for the level they are at.

Southgate has to be sacked, we will never go anywhere with him at the helm, he can't beat elite teams. Ever.

I don’t criticize Southgate for the last 70 min of this game, it was excellent (penalty miss aside) and I don’t criticize Smith for the first 5 min of the Swansea game. But as for the rest of both games two team either mentally underprepared or a shackled by their managers.

England did themselves proud in my view. Went toe to toe with one of the best teams in the world and were a missed penalty away from taking them to extra time. Nothing to be ashamed of here.

Obviously gutted that we've missed out on a massive massive chance, but at least we didn't limp out like has been the case normally when we play a big nation under Southgate, so no blame with him we gave it a bloody good go and came up short.

Not sure why Grealish didn't come on before.

Same reason Mount came on instead of Maddison. A useless **** of a manager.
