You've been hoodwinked!I am not English, so I think I might be more objective. I don't get how anyone thinks Southgate is not the problem here. You have Stones, Walker (Trippier who is world-class with crosses and FK), Foden and Grealish whom with Pep play 100 times better than with England. Then you have Rice and Bellingham two players that Pep had wanted and all teams in Europe would like to have, Kane who Pep wanted and pushed for. Then you have Mount, Saka who are maybe the two best players of 2 world class teams. Only McGuire and Shaw are not top or world class, but the same can be said of Brazil(Danilo or Alessandro, or even Paqueta are not world-class), France (Giroud, Pavard, Lloris). There are zero excuses for the way you play.
Anyway, this world cup has been really fun. Team like Arabia Saudi, Canada, USA, South Korea, Japan are all really exciting teams to watch and with the exception of Qatar and Costa Rica, I think all teams have shown good quality.
It's about squad management. How many times did Foden come on as a sub in the remaining 14 games (i.e. when available, not injured) ??Phil's best ever season for Premier League starts was only 24. For a player of his obvious talent that's extremely unusual.
He doesn't move to find space for the ball, he hides behind their press players. Another poor game from him. Can't see the 'big boys' shitting their knickers after watching that tripe....Is rice playing
Does GD trump head to head then? Didn’t realise they’d changed it.Get beat by Wales by no more than 4 goals and we are through irrespective of the USA / Iran game.
Never seen him have a decent game for England or Chelsea , he is just a poster boy with no substance.He had a shocker..... as always for England.
Not just Foden, 5 City players in the squad, most have been part of winning 4 titles in 5 years yet only one gets in the team. Why? How does Rashford get in ahead of, well anybody at all on current form?Mount has never had a good game for England , he is an anonymous 6/10 player who doesnt rock the boat , ideal for an insecure and negative manager like Waistcoat , Saka and Bellingham are vastly overrated and have won f*ck all in their careers so far.
Phil has TEN medals in his cabinet , and is a winner , but a loser like Waistcoat hasnt got a clue what winning looks like and he never will.
I'd rather we came home now TBH.Get beat by Wales by no more than 4 goals and we are through irrespective of the USA / Iran game.
Even Ratface said that this game was crying out for Foden.... he brought 'Hendo' on ffsI still cannot fathom how he doesn’t play foden.. it’s like France benching Mbappe…foden walks into any team in world football except this.. and harry maguire managed to get into this team. Beggars belief
