Huge respect for Southgate for how he’s got players enjoying turning up for England again, for the unity he’s created, for his quiet dignity, work on penalty “process” and record of getting #ENG to two finals. He’s handled the pressure of the so-called “impossible job” well. But…

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter That’s 3 outfield players, Paul. And one of them in Lewis Dunk.

@jockney90 @henrywinter Correct. I should have said “didn’t give minutes.” Point stands.

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter Henry Winter rambles on about shit. No chance the majority of England players want Southgate to stay. Squad or or the ones that didn’t make it. I’d say a very select few want him to stay. I very much doubt Kane and Foden would either

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter Correct. Although I suspect someone like Foden who started the tournament out of position can’t be happy either. They were all playing on a leash. Tactically poor, it was hang in and try to pinch a win rather than play on the front foot. Late substitutions. Ask Toney..

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter Yeah, let’s decide who manages the England team based on the vibes we’re getting from Lewis Dunk.

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter So you're basing a managers popularity on the players that they don't play? Are we judging Alex Ferguson only by the players he didn't rate? Weird argument.

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter I'd say they're professionals and understand their role in a 26 man squad.

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter All the players who he should have dropped want him to stay ask the unused subs and players left at home

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter Correct Paul, if he stays on I can see some early retirements coming on

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter Trent and Gordon especially. Ask them

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter Disagree. All of them are going to say they want him to stay, but what they think in private might be different

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter I bet Grealish and Maddison don’t!

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter I think this is a fair point. Naturally the players GS usually picks will want him to stay, but what about the likes of Ben White, James Ward-Prowse, Rashford, Maddison, Grealish et al? All deserve another chance with England but are not going to get it under GS.

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter pretty sure dunk wouldn’t mind potter

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter Ask Maddison and Grealish too who both would have made a difference when we looking for a goal against Spain. As it was Southgate was about to bring on Trippier and Gallagher when Spain scored their second.

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter Ben White is just the kind of player Southgate likes but he didn’t want to play for Southgate. TBF he wouldn’t have got a chance to play. Southgate had Kyle Walker so locked in at RB it didn’t matter how badly he played he still played every minute…

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter They will, or they won't get picked

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter Players love that he’s a human shield that takes all their flack, if they’re shite under a progressive manager then we know they’re just as much at fault

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter Ask Trent…

@PaulJSpacey @henrywinter Exactly that. No player or sub is going to disclose their real opinion to a journo.
