Just changed channels because the Wales game was so dull. WTF is that abomination of a kit. England should always play in red or white never fucking ghastly blue.
He didn't play in our last set of matches either did he? He is in the squad though?
Not even on the bench. Nice goal from Sancho. Problem is Kane, Sterling and Sancho wont play together until the Euros. They will have no time to gel together.
England's preparations for their Nations League fixtures against Belgium and Iceland will not be affected as the Return to Play protocol is designed to legislate for such occurrences.
Only worry is that we have a defensive midfielder at centre back. Surely we must have a better option than that available we could have chosen.
Well yes Keane is on the bench. But Dier has been playing CB for Spurs. Not quite sure he’s good enough for International football but don’t think he worse at CB than DM/CM.
Sterling is injured... Sancho has been shit for Dortmund this season
That’s never stopped Southgate before. He’d have been one of the first names on the team sheet if he was a keeper or defender.
Guess as we've seen from Bowyer's rotating, its more important to have a settled Goalkeeper and Defence
Too much credit for Southgate there. Think it’s just convenient as he doesn’t like attacking players. Not sure this back 6 have to played together either so not sure it’s settled at all.
Sancho isn’t fit enough to play 2 games in 4 days.
That back 3 definitely needs protecting, especially against KDB and Lukaku. Think Southgate has probably called this correctly, although time will tell.
Sancho would be considered by anyone outside of England as our best player. Kane works well with Son + Sancho has some similar traits to Son. Why not set up the attack like how Kane knows best?

Negative Southgate strikes again.
Pickford
Walker, Dier, Mings, Chilwell
Tripper, Rice, Henderson, Grealish
Mount
Kane
Chilwell at Left-Back is probably the only position cemented, maybe Maguire at Centre-Back too with the amount he plays
Need to produce a few decent Centre-Backs as the selection pool isnt brilliant
The midfield is proper shit though.....
How is the squad not built around him?
