The biggest issue I have with Southgate and Foden is that Southgate just doesn't know how and where to play him. That's not Fodens fault.I’m not digging him out. We all know how good Phil can be. He hasn’t shown Southgate yet though, was my point.
Same here. I have watched England fail fail fail since the 1980s and Southgate has made us real contenders nowadays . But now Im looking at the football and its turgid sometimes.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.
Translation: "Southgate is playing Tront, Slabhead, and Coady"Fucking hell Sky have just said Southgate is brave for playing a back 4
"Congratulations Tront, we've named you captain..."And with regards to the banning of armbands imposed by FIFA, just do it. Let them ban players for supporting human rights. It will be yet another stain on their character.
In fact we should nominate someone less important to wear it so they can get a yellow
