I think they have had discussions with quite a few managers at this stage and Hughton's name was mentioned a lot after he was sacked by Ghana post AFCON.
Whatever they are offering isn't exactly proving to be a big draw and Chris would be one of the better qualified candidates at this point.
It was hilarious
I’m trying to think of a goal scored by a bigger pair of cunts
I’m in shock that Ronaldo passed to Fernandes instead of taking the shot.
The commentators found it funny. They didn’t find the second one as funny.
Fixed that for you, mate.
You sound like a shitty fan.
Southgate Damned.
We have the 3rd worst pressing in the tournament. Only Albania and Romania are worse.
.....
England captain Kane admitted after the game that the team were "not sure how to get the pressure on and who’s supposed to be [pressing]".
Speaking on an extended England analysis section on BBC iPlayer, Match of the Day pundits Cesc Fabregas and Alan Shearer had their say.
"I think Harry doesn't have the legs anymore to press high," said Fabregas. "You can see the other ones - Bellingham, Saka, Rice - press really high, but one person not doing it can kill the function of the whole game."
Shearer added: "I don’t think there is a plan. There’s a complete lack of energy, I don’t know if anyone knows whether to come or to sit.
"They look confused to me as players as to when and how to go, and when they want to press the opposition.
"That, for me, comes from the manager. In the first two games and certainly the last game, it was far too easy for the opposition."

Its ok, he can always blame the Trent experiment. In reality he is a coward that dont want play expansive football just like previous England Managers. He is playing Walker coz he gurantees that speed at the back which makes me think his primary issue about playing to the opposition and ensuring they have No way of getting to our back line.
Check the article in the BBC. Load of bollocks they have played less than most. By minutes. Though there may be a case for intensity.

Maybe it’s less about fitness and more of an attitude issue. These Euros have been free-spirited and fun all-around, from the fans to the teams and coaches all embracing the joyful spirit of the game.
Then the English roll into town with dour faces and all the joy instantly disappears: flowers close, the party drum stops, children start crying. England are not playing football and taking risks and chances like other teams: in the periods they are dominating it’s all rather sterile possession with players determined not to be the one who gives the ball away. Then when protecting a lead it’s all hands on deck as if everything rides on this one result.
They need to lighten up and actually start playing football - if they do, they might realize they are rather good at it!
I’m rather enjoying the English meltdown. It’s fantastic to watch. Even better when you don’t watch the actual games.
