Let’s just say that subscribers to The Athletic who support England aren’t taking this result well. Here’s a sampling of their thoughts, with much of their ire directed towards Gareth Southgate…
Chris C: Southgate out. Take your jumper and your M&S ads with you. I don’t even care that we lost – I just don’t care if we’re playing anymore. IT’S. SO. BORING. If you can’t get excited to watch your country, what’s the point?
Samuel E: He’s caved in to the demands of a bunch of internet simpletons. We’re now far too open at the back, and the attack is made up of a load of randoms who’ve never played with each other. I liked Old Southgate that got us deep in tournaments. Everyone else has got what they wished for. Good work
David B: Please can Gareth get the Man U job. He might actually be able to relegate them because he’s absolutely CLUELESS! If we somehow manage to win the Euros it will be in spite of him.
