This is the thing. England score 1 goal and win by a one goal margin and all is seemingly forgiven.

But how many could we score if we actually played our players in their proper positions and didn't set up defensively, have forwards tracking back into defence, etc.

It's infuriating. Nobody cares if England win 1-0 even if they have a shocking game and none of the tactics make a shred of sense.

Welcome to football fans. If we got a by to the final and lost people would still say it was a stellar campaign. We got the easiest draw we will ever get to a major tournament final with the best squad we have had in god knows how long and Southgate had us playing like Romania. It was pathetic and this is just a continuation of his cowardice. He only cares about not losing.

That blokes either half dead or a softy

Think his knee was hyperextended or something

Commentator just reminding us all that Gareth hasn't made a single substitution in this match.

Literally no-one was surprised. He seems ideologically opposed to making use of them.

Stirling has been so poor, get him off.

What’s with the walking pace football we resort to? No movement, safety first.

This is basically a repeat of 2018, last summer and now. When will Gareth learn.

Zero subs, such a negative attitude when going 1-0 up.

The reality is this squad even with the majority of players missing is leagues above Poland.

Sometimes you've just got to be glad when his negative tactics get what they deserve.

Defending a 1-0 lead again, against a team nobody rates, just lol. Negative, defensive tactics can go to hell. Southgate is a muppet.
