"Spain had 70% possession in the first half" Yeah because Jordan Pickford kept hoofing the ball upfield to them, I honestly don't understand why pundits aren't mentioning it, 9 accurate long balls out of 25 attempted by Jordan Pickford in the whole match. How do you expect to keep possession when your goalkeeper has lost his rag and keeps hoofing the ball upfield like it's the 90's and giving it to the opposition? This isn't anything new either in the Euro 2020/21 Final against Italy Jordan Pickford had 11 accurate long balls out of 24 attempted, It's just not good enough, It's old fashioned tactics from a bygone era and no pundit is mentioning it.

@@bobhope707I'm a spurs fan, it was known that Kane was the fittest player in the spurs squad year on year. He used to run his socks off, press, defend, he was everywhere.... The significant change in Kane was José Mourinho. In the all or nothing documentary, he literally coached Kane to not defend and stay fresh for attacking - the fittest player. From that season onwards, I've seen Kane amble around between defenders, not pressing, but staying in space (like Messi did) so that when we did win the ball, Kane was free. My feeling is that Kane has had that teaching embedded into his mindset since and perhaps that has psychologically affected his fitness - he is one of the hardest working, model pros, that's why he's never dropped, that's why he plays when he's apparently not 100%.. It's hard to watch him these days, knowing he's got so much more to give...

@bobhope707 He had a long and gruelling season at Bayern. Without him and his goals, they'd probably have finished 6th. He started nearly every game for Bayern last season, and then got injured right at the end. Worst of all, it was a back injury. Having suffered from numerous back injuries, and currently recovering from one right now, I can personally attest to the fact they take months to fully heal, and they are very debilitating. Harry shouldn't have been picked for the tournament this year, as unfortunate as that is. You just can't play football if your back is screwed up, and you could tell it was by the fact he was so slow and rigid all the time.

The margins are much closer apart from elite individuals like Rodri's, Bellingham's, fodens, Kane's etc... but if they don't operate as a team, they're done... It took Messi several world cups to win one. When he did, Argentina were a team from Martinez to Romero and through to Messi.

Shearer saying "you can't drop Kane" is part of the problem of the english mentality which is the acceptance of failure and mediocrity. He was absolutely abysmal throughout the whole tournament and should've been dropped after the first 2 games, but in this country we prioritise names and reputation over actual quality. Yes his INDIVIDUAL stats are great but every team he's ever played in has underperformed when it mattered and him not winning anything in his entire career is not a coincidence. When you play with him in the team you're literally carrying a passenger for 90 minutes with the exception of the odd good pass and the fact that he usually scores if he gets a chance, but at the highest level of football you need MUCH more than that. Not to make one man the scapegoat though, because ultimately the manager holds more responsibility for picking him consistently and constantly setting up the team in a completely negative way. On paper our players are far better than Spain (only Yamal, Rodri & Williams could get into this england team based on talent imo) yet everyone in the media were calling England the 'underdogs' for this game, when we should've been the FAVOURITES but we have a completely inept and incompetent manager setting us up like we're a non league side.

He can't even see what's staring him right in the face. It's an absolute tragedy that we had one of the strongest squads of attack minded players in the tournament and we've a manager that sets us up and plays so defence minded. He's totally clueless and if it wasn't for the Father Christmas loves England draw and three pieces of individual magic in games, then we'd have have got nowhere near that final or the last. Under Southgate we've played a team ranked in the top ten teams in the world 26 times, we've won 5 of those matches. Those stats are the ones that truly matter and show just how strong we've become as a world footballing force under Southgate's managership.

For me, the spain loss doesn’t compare to Italy or even Croatia.

Similar in a sense that the game was there for the taking though at 1-1, and Spain looked a little rattled. We then went full Southgate and sat back just like the Italy/Croatia games. That said, Spain much better than those two as Italy ran out of steam by the end of the tournament.

The game was there for the taking in all three of them. I was over the Croatia result pretty quickly as it was an inexperienced squad with a first-time tournament manager and very few expectations going in. What made last night more frustrating for me was that the experience was there, the opportunity to go for the win was there, and yet the players and manager proved they hadn't learned from their mistakes in previous matches, sat back and let the opposition seek out the winner instead. Yes Spain were the better side and deserved winners, but the frustrations with England and Southgate are arguably more potent this time around.

Look at Unai Simon going long, going short, lofting passes and finding the Spanish players in space while Pickford sprays and pray is just absolutely baffling.

I think the 'anti football' is more down to the fear and lack of belief in the squad than tactics. Southgate legitimately doesn't say "stop pressing, drop deep and stop being able to play 5 yard passes" after 30 minutes. We had confidence for a period during the Holland game and it was beautiful (maybe because the penalty win gave us a bit of juice). But otherwise, we were fearful, panicked and lacked any leader on the pitch to keep standards/energy/discipline, which meant we dropped deeper and deeper and couldn't get our heads up. Southgate has probably taken us as far as he can and he's been great, but maybe we now need someone the players can buy into and believe in with more tactical identity. It's always more nuanced than the media makes out

He has done far better than some very high profile predecessors did and doesn't say or do anything stupid or scandalous that forces the FA to sack him (Venables, Hoddle, Allardyce). Careful what you wish for because the next guy may not be half as good. If i were Southgate, I'd run a mile from the job. It's a real pity for him that he couldn't land a trophy and silence some of the Talksport and KZitem Influencer "experts" talking shit for clicks.

We had one of the fastest players in Europe sat on the bench and amassed just 4 minutes all tournament on the pitch and even then that was against Slovenia in the 89th minute, which he still created the first real chance of the game out of nothing. Anthony Gordon, tracks back, has the stamina and willingness to chase down every ball, he's a natural left winger, was the player of the tournament in the U-21 Euros just last year while playing in an England team that included Palmer, he had 20+ goal contributions last season, is the only player in Premier League history to score against each of the top 6 in a single season, played Champions League football against the likes of Dortmund, Milan and PSG so has experience of big game atmosphere.

@@mcp1981 I suspect you've only seen Williams play at the Euros, "isn’t half the player" you say that but the facts paint a different picture. Gordon quite literally has had more goal contributions last season while in the same position, in the same style of play and role but in the Premier League and he's done it against the top teams in the league, 2 of just the 5 goals Williams scored last season were against Rayo Vallecano the other 3 were against underperforming Villarreal and Atletico sides and 10 of his 14 assists have come against teams in the lower half of the league (basically the relegation battlers), zero against the top 6. Whereas just some of the 11 goals Gordon scored have come against Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Utd (twice) , Chelsea, Man City, Tottenham and from his 10 assists some have come against Villa, Chelsea, Liverpool and twice against Tottenham. Nico Williams is famously a player that will not track back and do the dirty work, Gordon will do both the attacking and defensive side, now I'm not saying Anthony Gordon is better but the facts (not opinions) clearly show he's at least effective in the exact same position against decent opposition, considering you don't consider him "half the player"

I´m german and I stand with Alan (great former striker). In my opinion should every footballnation have a manager from their own country. Otherwise tournements don´t make sense. My understanding of a tournament is that nations compete against each other in sporting terms, but of course without excessive, inappropriate national pride, but with a healthy national pride. That means that you are more or less proud of your country, but also respect all other nations. And I respect the English, although in the past (for no reason, because I was born in a different time) I was quite often defamed as a Nazi when I was travelling abroad.

Southgate analysis is simple. 1. He must be respected and praised for achieving more than any England manager since Alf Ramsey; 2. He's a class act and gentleman in the way he unified the team, managed the players and media; 3. He resigned with dignity at the exact right time as he's taken us as far as we can go; 4. The negative, defensive style of football he employed is simply not appropriate for the best attacking options we've had for generations; 5. We now need a manager that can create a system and environment that actually maximises our world class players' talents so we can see the best of Bellingham, Foden. Oh and who picks based on form and performance, not favouritism or brand.

Today was just a carbon copy of the Croatia game in 2018 and Italy game in 2021. Southgate clearly hasnt learnt has he, he needs to be sacked now.

@Haydersublatehow was it sitting back with the kind of goal Spain scored? If anything, that wasn't even proper defending, Southgate needed to go balls to the wall José Mourinho 10-0-0 formation after going 1-1.

@@heppolo As soon as England scored back in those games, they sit back like what happened again against Spain. Even then you can say this final was an exact copy of every other game in the tournament, they score and England plays. Spain had chances yes but they were shaking when England actually ran towards them. Even the Spain goal is down to tactics, in fact both. The first half, Saka was tracking back to help Walker down their left side and where was Saka for both goals? Mainoo came off and what happened minutes later?

@Haydersublate We didn't...We need to understand why we sit back...At no time after that equalising goal did Spain look like their were under real pressure at all...They reasserted themselves through game management...It was the Croatian midfield via Modric that changed the dynamic (England made chances of course)...You can't dominate the game like you are saying at international level...

@@heppoloI disagree a bit. It was bad defending but that was a danger all game. They had several chances to play curcuella on the left. The manager of it's defensive style or attacking should of corrected. As for going park the bus after the goal, all that does is invite pressure. When you have a team on the ropes and you have palmer, Watkins saka, foden Bellingham seize the chance. If you are a bad team say Sunderland and playing against man city, then sure. You got a lucky goal now defend as much as you can. If it's arsenal who equaliser I doubt arteta is saying OK lads everyone behind the ball.

Thank you Alan for being the most honest pundit about the status of the team, it has been a breath of fresh air. I do strongly disagree with you though about the "not dropping the captain", because Kane deserved to be dropped and others given the opportunity who would have utilised the system and use the chances. Thank you guys for making this tournament more enjoyable even when the football wasn't

All of the conversation, relying on individual brilliance to win, negative tactics, etc… it is exactly the conversation west ham fans have been having ahead of Moyes’s departure. And none of these guys would give it the time of day So, to you England fans, be careful what you wish for in a new manager ;)

We were a better team with Watkins, and probably Palmer. Shame that we only had them on for half an hour.
