I was actually making a point towards my original comment.I presume you're making a point toward my earlier comments. This is completely different. You're not daft, you know it is too.
FWIW, completely off topic, I think Southgate has done a really solid job as England manager & we've taken strides under him each tournament (even if we went out a stage or so earlier in the last World Cup).
This one will define his legacy though. We've seen the incremental improvements, we saw (against France) that we can compete with the World's best in knockout football, now is the time to deliver.
That's not to say necessarily that we should win it, there are still some weaknesses in the XI, but we should - as a minimum - reach the Semis and not wilt at any point.
With everyone fit, we have the best attack in the Euros. Question marks remain over who partners Rice (I think he's made a mistake not looking at Mainoo), centre half (lack of quality) & full back (due to injuries).
These types of comms are put out to kill the question being asked and kick it down the round and it's a standard comms, implemented a lot.
I've not missed you that much, to just make a post to dig you out.
On Southgate, he's been reasonably successful but incredibly boring. So much so that I personally have gone from loving watching England to not even watching the last couple of tournaments when we're playing. I'll have much fonder memories of watching England in 92-99 than during Southgate's time.
