Gary Lineker

We didn't get through the group stage in the previous World Cup.

I know.

And a lot of geezers.

Well, yeah, it was an embarrassment.

So he took over at a point where we're probably an all-time low or one of the all-time lows.

And everyone was against the England players and they were getting a terrible time and he transformed that.

I understand the criticism, and I said it myself on occasions, that he is cautious, but he was a defender himself.

And his argument would be that most teams that win tournaments play that way.

And you could say that's true, although Spain showed that that very much wasn't the case in that year.

So, yeah, and he was a little bit tentative with making substitutions.

But you've got to remember, when England are playing in a tournament...

And I'm as guilty as anyone.

We've all got our view on who we think should be playing and why is he not on the pitch now?

He didn't like Jack Grealish.

Well, Jack, I don't think he didn't like Jack.

I mean, you'd have to get Gareth Southgate on to ask you about that.

Do you not think he likes Gareth?

But people will say he didn't like, you know, why did he play so-and-so?

Why did he not?

Have you never been in football punditry?
