Lithuania V England - 5pm KO

People thought things were bad with Hodgson but it’s gone from bad to worse with this clown Southgate in charge

Stop employing useless English managers. Go get Ancelotti now

Might not necessarily improve things bringing in someone like Ancelotti

We had Capella as manager when we had a very good squad but were still dull as dishwater

*Capello

Not sure what was more boring the match or Hoddles commentary.

The problem is far, far too many players are being used to play for England. The manager needs to get just 14 or 15 players together, 11 for the first XI, and the other four in cause of injury. Then just play the same team for two or three games in a row. Making half a dozen changes every match, as with club football, gives this sort of disjointed performance. Nothing like the same XI playing together game after game.

FA should get down the garden centre and buy a cheese plant. More tactical nous and more interesting in the after match chat than Southgate.

To be fair England have won eight and drawn two of 10 matches, so not really sure what supporters want, would you rather play great football and lose and not qualify or dull as dishwater stuff, but at least get to where it really matters the actual FINALS, even if they probably will not do much. At least we still want England there don`t we?

Big difference between those 2. Ancelotti can speak English for a start. He’s a likeable character. Has a good record with young players, and in cup competitions. Capello was always destined to flop, the game has long past him by

Ideally I’d make Pochettino England manager but that ain’t gonna happen

Some entertainment would be preferable Sandy, to dare is to do and all that. This is insipid football against weak opponents. If Southgate has a plan to progress I'll eat my words.
