England fans sing ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ to Southgate as he subs on Maguire for Saka at 3-0 down vs Hungary

ENGLAND fans sung "you don't know what you're doing" to manager Gareth Southgate during their dismal defeat to Hungary on Tuesday night.

The Three Lions supporters turned on their head coach when he brought on Harry Maguire for Bukayo Saka in the closing stages of his side's 4-0 loss.

It was a disappointing evening for Southgate as he watched his side fail to win a fourth successive Nations League game.

And it was compounded by the fans booing the team following the third goal.

Southgate then responded with a substitution after John Stones was sent off for a second yellow card.

He made the decision to bring centre-back Maguire on for Saka - which led to the England supporters singing "you don't know what you're doing".

England fans then began ironically chanting "Ole" every time the Hungary players completed a pass in the final minutes of the match.

It was a damning result for Southgate's men just five months out from the World Cup.

Speaking after the loss, former England midfielder Joe Cole told Channel 4: "A shocking performance, the players were not at it and the attitude was wrong.

"I can understand the frustration of the fans.

"Does Gareth Southgate know what he is doing? Of course, he has taken the team to a semi-final and final. But that was dreadful."

Hungary took the lead through Roland Sallai in the 16th minute and then stood firm as England tried to find an equaliser.

Then 20 minutes from time Sallai found the net again to stun a dejected Molineux.

Zsolt Nagy added a third to pile more misery on England's evening, before Daniel Gadzag scored a fourth in the dying moments.

The result leaves England rooted to the bottom of their Nations League group with two draws and two defeats.

Now their only matches left before the World Cup are against Italy and Germany in September.
