So why is he leaving him out now even it matters and picking Mount and Sterling ahead of him ? Absolutely baffling !

Sterling has been in fantastic form for England.

Mount and Maguire are complete mysteries to me though, especially in this set up.

Just turned it on thinking kick off was 12:30. It's going off again I can't listen to all the shit being spouted for another thirty minutes.

30 goals and assists in 30 games for England includes games in the last 18 months, as does his team of the tournament performance in Euro 2020

Then you must be delighted with his performances Gareth. I happen to think he’s been shite.

Hope Stones plays well. Apart from that it’s hard as a City fan to get excited about this game. Workman like team managed by a manager devoid of any innovation.

Stones is fucked. Covering both himself and slabhead. If Engerland lose it will be his fault as well.

Foden is understood to have a knock which has cost him his starting place. Some outlets and this forum are ignoring or not aware of this fact.

You can't let a little something like that get in the way of the manufactured outrage.

Southgate distancing himself from armbands nuthin to do with me guv I just concentrate on the team .

Sterling deserves his start. He's like a reverse John Barnes.

Southgate said all players are fit for selection except Walker and Maddison.

Let’s be real, knock or not, Sterling, Saka and Mount were not getting dropped, so where was his starting place going to be?

Maguire starts for the same reason Sterling does (and Pickford has in the past): They've played well for England under Southgate

Mount should be the one getting questioned
