If I was one of the players rested I'd have no worries about walking straight back into the team. Disappointing show from some of those who should have been trying to give Southgate a selection headache. Not all bad though, we've got the better half of the draw now.
I think Southgate's played a blinder. He said he wanted to win the game to keep the confidence and continuity going. He didn't suggest he would be making wholesale changes. He then made wholesale changes and lost the game, to avoid the possibility of playing Brazil and did it in such a way that FIFA can't touch us. Well played sir.
Of course we don't. We don't want to face Brazil in the quarters if we get through the 16's.
I don't buy this. This result is not going to do the camp's confidence any good. Saying that we don't want to play Brazil, what is that saying about that team.
Can't help but feel that this has been a bad move that will have stopped the brilliant momentum this team had.
Really don't think it will affect confidence. Practically a reserve team out there and lost to a great strike, no humiliation.
Meaningless game that we've learned nothing from. No-one had a particularly bad game, no-one was very good either. We never play to Vardy's strengths, Loftus-Cheek looks like he struggles to be on the same wavelength as the players around him and Rashford was very focused on his own performance rather than the collective. Dier looked very nervous on the ball and that was the only major disappointment I had today. Other than that it's all a big shrug. We have some strength in depth it's just making 8 changes isn't the way to show it as things are always less fluent.
I am sorry to say that I do not think that it is a job done... I think it is business as usual sadly. A soon was we play a half-decent team we lose. Belgium played their reserve team as well. One day..............not in my lifetime again. I was 8 when we won the world cup and have always been let down since then.

So did we. A game where no-one tried was won by one decent strike that came out of nowhere. We might not win the thing but moaning that England are always crap when we qualified after two games having scored 8 goals and rested the scorers of almost all of those goals in the third is just misery for the sake of misery. There's a very good chance we won't win the World Cup but if you can't be positive after the group stage we've had then I don't think following England is for you

It was 8 reserves. It was akin to the Prem teams sticking out the reserves in the FA Cup and saying they are desperate to win the cup.
Blimey, some people on here must actually have believed Wenger & Ferguson etc. I thought everyone realised.
Not much point in judging the players performance on a game like that. The only thing I am worried about is if we don’t tun up against Colômbia because we all know what happened against Iceland.
