Waistcoat really dislikes Phil

Nah.


He knows he's an excellent player.
He's also got a few more excellent players to slot in to his preffered system of play.
Phil is the odd one out so consequently gets shifted.A bit like the way the technically superior Scholes got fucked around to accommodate Lampard and Gerrard back in the day.

If Phil wants to stay in the team he's got to overcome the drawbacks of playing where he is.
 
Even Pep plays Foden from left wing. I have no issue with Southgate doing the same, as the idea is he drifts into the centre like with us. But England struggle to get any form of control to allow Foden to get into those positions. That’s the crux of the issue and why we won’t come close to winning this tournament.
Cos pep knows how to coach patterns of play and will have his left back wide and high so foden can drift in and creat overloads.

Southgate will have his left back on the half way line so foden will be on his own on the touchline
 
Foden stuck on the left where he'll see none of the game.

Better off putting him behind Kane and sticking Bellingham out there which Madrid have done this season.

Hope I'm wrong but shoehorning players in by moving your best players into their least favoured positions makes no sense.
 
You can hang me in the Tower of London or something for saying this, but there’s a not insignificant part of me that’s starting to hope we lose. I was kind of neutral/apathetic before but I just… don’t like this team, don’t like the manager, don’t like the pundits, don’t like most of the players. I just feel no sense of attachment to it at all. And it just seems to get worse with every bit of stupid shite like crowbarring “Trent” into CDM. It’s like the whole apparatus is trying to set me against them.

Of course I love the City boys, but no more than Rodri or Kev… but I’m not supporting Spain or Belgium.
 
Richards is becoming the most grating annoying pundit on telly, he dumbing down to murphy levels of nonsense
