Looked like Southgate knows his team.

Southgate isn’t stupid,he plays rashford instead of sterling England fail, Southgate gets the flak,plays sterling England fail sterling gets the flak ...

Three questions so far all about Rashford....now pushing a dipper player. Do you know your team?? Of course he is going to tell you and the world a couple of weeks before the game. Bloody hell Dixon is at it now!

Remember Matt LeTiss for England B when Hoddle was in charge?

Miles better than Rashford.

Didn't even make the squad.

'That's what we want' say's Wright.

Lol, it's got to the stage where I can't listen to these pundit's anymore. Put the game on 1 min before ko, skip ht, and turn it off as soon as the game end's.

Delph 97 passes, 96% completed. Outstanding.

Correct but probably won't start.

Almost every question they asked Southgate was about Rashford lol

I counted six questions about Rashford, one about Alexander-Arnold and nothing about anyone else. Bizarre.

He's been quite loyal to Raheem so hopefully this wont sway him. Sterling was excellent against Nigeria at the weekend, he (hopefully) wont have forgotten that as quickly as the pundits seemingly have.

So Wright and Dixon's only shouts for players that maybe played themselves into the starting lineup are Alexander Arnold and Marcus Rashford?... "Oh and in midfield it can be either Dier or Henderson"... Poor Delph.

They're doing wonders for the stereotype of pundits and journos pandering to what they think people want to hear rather than giving unbiased opinion. How can Dixon be a blue btw?

I think Southgate is learning a lot on the job and I think most of that has come from his visit with pep. He will see the game from Peps perpsective and possession is the name of the game, for that reason I think Sterling starts. I might be giving Southgate too much credit but so far he has come across well
