Imagine how he feels. Young lad with half the country wanting him to fail and the entire media on a crusade to destroy him
Then they wonder why he doesn’t look confident when he pulls on an England shirt
This country is a fuckin joke sometimes
In an England shirt he is being asked to play a completely different role. More the creator than the executioner who provides the final cross.
I banged on about it earlier but City, Spurs, Utd who have a disproportionate number of players in the side play a variation of 4-2-3-1 yet Southgate decides to go with a 3-5-2. It is completely nonsensical.
I honestly do not think it is rocket science.
Rashford plays left for United play him left for England.
Sterling right for City, play him on the right. Same for Walker etc etc.
International football where time is limited, players have not built relationships is not the time for installing new systems.
Well lingard and rashford aren't really catching that stick are they? Only on here because we don't buy into the media bullshit that everyone else does.Very well said. The abuse on Sterling is a joke. And this goes for many others to Lingard, henderson and ‘Rashford’ ... social media heightens the abuse level and any player that isn’t playing for your own club is labelled as ‘sh*t’. Can’t stand it. Why can’t we just support em

The BBC online readers have rated Sterling the worst performer at 4.11 followed by Walker at 4.75.
Kane motm rated at 7.09.
I actually got excited tonight, and was happy when we won.
Then I saw the slagging off of Raheem.
Fuck this shit. I'm supporting Brazil.
Southgate is too cautious, might be of benefit against good teams, but is counter productive against lesser teams. I want to see England go for it against Panama, try and get ahead of Belgium on gd before the last group game.
