Gareth Southgate’s Embarrassing Excuses

England’s disappointing draw with Denmark has left many fans and pundits alike scratching their heads. The Three Lions lacked balance and allowed the Danes back into the game following Harry Kane’s opener. But what’s even more astonishing is Gareth Southgate’s comments after the match.

The England boss blamed the performance on England missing a player like Kalvin Phillips, a comment that has sparked outrage among many. Former Premier League midfielder Jamie O’Hara has hit out at Southgate, labeling his comments as ’embarrassing'.

“Gareth Southgate has to be the most stubborn man I’ve ever known,” O’Hara said. “I know he tells his squad not to listen to the press, but I think he actually needs to - the nation seems to know more about the team than he does.”

I couldn’t agree more with O’Hara. Southgate’s comments are not only embarrassing but also a clear indication of his stubbornness. It’s time for him to take responsibility for the team’s performance instead of making excuses.

The England team has talented players like Cole Palmer on the bench, who could have made a difference in the game. But instead, Southgate chose to stick with his usual tactics, which have proven to be ineffective time and time again.

As a nation, we’ve had enough of Southgate’s excuses. It’s time for him to take a hard look at himself and his tactics. The fans deserve better, and the players deserve better. It’s time for a change.

The question on everyone’s mind is, where’s the exit door for Southgate? It can’t come quick enough, but we’ve still got a tournament to try and win with players that should be running the show in this competition and setting the world alight.

England fans deserve better

It’s time for Southgate to take a step back and re-evaluate his approach. The nation is tired of his excuses, and it’s time for him to take responsibility for the team’s performance.
