Simon Jordan SLAMS Gareth Southgate For BLAMING Fans' Anger For Player Struggles! 😡

because we're going to take your calls on England thus far you've heard from Simon of course what have they done a single goal win against the serbs a draw with Denmark and a draw last night with Slovenia so what's your taking at all as England progress and now the draw favors them so much so observers here feel they could get all the way to the final maybe it's something of a caner I don't quite agree with that but we'll see what happens by winning the group England will now face uh in the last 16 on Sunday maybe the Netherlands or who whoever finishes third in group E and right now group E has Romania Belgium Slovakia and Ukraine all on three points so it could be any one of them depending on what happens uh tonight if they come through that England would then face in the quarterfinals the winner of Switzerland's game against Italy but where are you at with England from what you've seen so far 0371 7234 uh first off let's hear from from gar Southgate himself on how he spoke last night about dealing with all this criticism well we're open about it you know we know we know it's there I think it's quite unique you know I'm not sure any other team that's top their group will have received the reception that we have but that is that is where we're at and I understand people want more and um in particular they you know that's fin it's coming my way and uh for me that's better than it's the players so but it is it is an unusual thing to operate in Samy what just that final comment what do you make of what you said there it's it's an unusual thing to operate in it's a kind of strange environment well because he's hiding behind the veneer of the fact that the rest of the group was so poor that enabled England to finish top and so that argument is being Advanced as we finish top of the group yet we're still being criticized the challenge is like we all are we're all judged by our past and what we've got is an England manager despite the protestations of those that are his acolytes that has been in a situation where he's stolen defeat from the jaws of Victory we've been W new up in a European Championship final and managed to allow the Italians come back and then decided to change after the Italians have scored we allowed the croatians back into the game in a World Cup semifinal all of this is well rehearsed and sat in the psyche of England fans that have now been promised a better Fair a better outcome we are now in very good nick all the lessons have been learned and this is the time we're going to deliver something more meaningful and then we rock into a tournament and if you want to manage people's expectations my word you're doing a great example of how to do that because the team's performance is not only been poor it's been we've been fortunate to come out of these games unscathed the slovenians didn't come to win the game they came to get a point yeah it makes it difficult to play against but not withstanding that they were no great opposition and the Danes bossed the game and the serbians beat us up for 60 minutes so there's not a lot you can take away from it so Gareth can sit there and say oh this is a strange environment for us to be able to work in well Gareth that's because of the Legacy that you've created the England fans that travel across the globe that are one of the most unique set of fans not all of them behave the way that sometimes we'd like them too but most of the time they sit there supporting their team they defend the indefensible and I think they're entitled to be a little bit disenchanted and the reason why that is because they're seeing the same thing they're thinking to ourselves we are here in all of this pomp with all of these players Bellingham Kane foden sacka rice all of these players that are supposed to be well beaters and our team looks pedestrian and I we can see it happen to us again we've had 58 years of of you know we've got loudmouth soup all the time about what our domestic League looks like what our best players look like and here we are on the international stage again the laughing stock potentially of international football because we a sick man of of International Football we don't win anything laughing stock of International Football well to some extent because the noise that come we got the Lou you topped the group last but we've got the loudest fa I mean in terms of achievements yeah right so we've got the loudest fa in in international football or or Dom we've got the most powerful League of all the money we've got all the best managers coming we're always going on about what we've got all the best players to some extent not not not well beaters like mbappe and and Neymar I grant you but on mass everyone wants to play in England and then we get to the international front and we go oh well that's a disappointment and of course but more more important we've had the opportunity we've had it three times in a row and there were reservations about giving Southgate another go but the benefit of the doubt the opportunity all the positive stuff the managing of the media the harmonizing of the environment nobody gives us sod about managing the media or the harmonizing of the environment they want to see a winning football team I know exactly where that's where this that's where this angst comes from unless it picks up soon Simon and I and I say this I make no apology for saying it their next game on Sunday night the way they're playing could be South Gates last um yeah and and if it is so it should be because this argument that you've harmonized the environment because of the ridiculous that went before because it was ridiculous it's Preposterous these players were allowed to get into an environment playing for their country meant there were faction manag mediocre manag Elite we had wonderful group ofers sear tournaments that we have stolen defeat from the jaws of Victory and here we are now rocking into this tournament with all the Fanfare all the expectations tens and tens of thousands of England fans that are paying inordinate amounts of money to travel through Europe to watch something that isn't very good and then be told well actually you shouldn't have that opinion and I'm glad it's levied at me and I'm going to go over and clap you rather than make brave decisions with players on the field and make and make leadership decisions about the way that we're going to play rather than this constant default setting of of disappointing people why is that the case because there a common denominator amongst all of it and I'm sorry for all those people that think this is a an ad homenum on the manager but the manager is responsible for the fair and if the players don't get their don't get their responsibilities and can't live themselves up then change the players and change them in a meaningful way you lay this at South Gate's feet I lay it at both but the manager in because of the way he's telling them to play well look at it this is where what he said into what he said to the players before the game that sets England up in such a way that Kyle Walker doesn't who is an attacking fullback doesn't go beyond the halfway line in the first half in the second half straight out the whistle we're a different team what are we saying to our players that starts a game in such a fashion that ultimately people are nervous or they're anxious or they're worried about what the opposition are going to do why aren't we taking the best form of Defense in my view is attack and if you've got potency in your forward line why isn't that your strength why Sim if you're one of those top England players sorry about this we're going to take calls shortly but Simon you're in full flow and I want to keep it that way if you're one of those top England players and I agree with you they are the best some of the best tournament T players in this tournament if not the best well that's the why are they not taking it upon themselves to deliver for England out in the field of play their experienc enough they playing the biggest the biggest stage of all the Premier League why don't they assume the responsibility once they cross a white line well again it comes down to the question of and again I don't want to challenge the fact that these are technically very gifted players and clearly they're very good players because they apply their trade in very good teams but it was also a combination of these teams made up very good other players that have very established philosophies and ideals and know what their jobs are look at the discussion about ancelotti and the way that Real Madrid played against Man City in the semi-final of the champions league and how he got top players to do their jobs in a different way than they would normally want to do because man city was so dominant look at this England group of players can you imagine them being told to do things that they want to do they're too busy complaining about what they haven't got there was you know there was questions about the player psychology but if you've got proper inspiring leadership that leads from the front and really makes big decisions and takes bold initiatives and pushes forward with a thought a thought process that's ambitious in its thinking then the players are inspired I don't I with all due respect to g whatever people think of him I I think he's done lots of things very well but his ultimate job is to produce a winning England football team that brings home a trophy and here we are again looking at the fact that we've got a Poor Side disappointing fans and the worst thing you can do in the world in any environment specifically in sport is raise the expectations of people and then fall beneath them and that's what he's seeing now it is 10:30 at home it's 11:30 over here we're going to take your calls next and I know so many of you are trying to get through 0371 7234 England top the group but and the but is a big butt Jim White and Simon Jordan Monday to Friday mornings from 10: on am on da via the talk sport app and on your smart speaker talk sport
