England defender Stones said: “I’ve only heard about the criticism he’s (Southgate) been receiving. I saw some fans after one game throwing bottles in his direction. I’m sure that will have motivated him that bit more.‌

“Everyone who has spent time with him and know him as a person, knows how hard he and his backroom staff work. So definitely we want to win for them, ourselves and our families and everyone in the nation.

“He is very clear in what we can achieve as a nation. The great attributes and qualities he has as a manager is that he is simple and clear to the players. ''

I think he meant to say that he clearly comes across as a simpleton to the players
 
I'm not Southgate's biggest fan either, but he's wholly backed Phil in every press conference, and seemingly has no intention of dropping him tomorrow, which would be hard to argue against if he did.

I disagree. He hasn't been nearly as bad as some are trying to make out, but still not doing enough. Southgate could easily say they want a right-footed player over there to be able to cut inside/hold the width, etc.
 
Hope the rumour that he’s picking Trippier ahead of Alexander-Arnold at right wing-back isn’t true. Seems like a typically over-cautious decision.
