People moaning our players aren't playing.

Hopefully they stay nice and warm on the bench for the next fortnight.

 

[Joekmcfc]

Yet 18 caps and 2 goals suggests he hasn’t cemented his place just yet.

hes not really had a consistent starting role though, starts one game taken of 60-70 mins in then doesnt start the next, he's a young player and confidence is a big thing in international games, just wish we could see the team evolve around him and Bellingham. I get it but like I say players should be picked on form and sterling has not been hitting his or sakas levels for some time..

Foden could start a game, score a brace, be head 'n shoulders above anyone else on the pitch, and Southgate would have him on the bench for the next game.

Yeah you probably right! Oh they don’t want a city player to be the main man do they! Rashford probably get more game time than foden

My try find this on beIN sports or some other channel than the bbc ,it did my head in yesterday.

One thing I love about BM is the tactics and analysis that people do when considering different formations, really interesting discussions.

The media genuinely seem to watch a different sport.

Southgate isn't the worst person in the world, has been our most successful manager of recent times.

But it just feels like he doesn't use players to their advantage. Long standing distrust of flair players and a rigid defensive approach. His teams are to be endured rather than enjoyed.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

What has Foden actually done for Southgate and England?

We all know his potential, but Southgate picks players that have done things for him.

Him and Greenwood got busted for breaking COVID rules for the Iceland trip. Not been fully trusted since

 

[BlueHammer85]

Come on England!

Won’t be responding to any tags today, on the beers already

Couldn’t care less who starts or not, what formation or if he puts Rice in goal. Don’t give a flying f*ck. just win

 

[borassic]

Kane should wear the armband under his sock, when the game ends pull his sock down.

Or on his cock and when he scores he can get it out and wave it about

I’m not digging him out. We all know how good Phil can be. He hasn’t shown Southgate yet though, was my point.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Made me laugh when the Mail or Telegraph said Southgate was preparing to go ‘gung-ho’ with the inclusion of Saka.

I doubt Southgate has ever done anything remotely gung ho in his life…

He went up for a corner in an FA Cup semi final against the dippers…
