England wasting one of the most talented squads ever assembled on Southgate

And to be honest he looks great in the position. I dont think he's as effective further back. Which begs the question who? I dont think we have that player, a Bernardo/Gundo type who can play the full transition from 6 to 8 when required and tie together the midfield and attacking units.

I can see Rico becoming a Gundog-type player, but obviously, his lack of experience is going to count against him for a year or two yet.

Mount was being groomed for that position, but he seems to have hit his ceiling and regressed a bit from that.

Nothing to do with the club he joined in the summer, of course.

Facts, thought after your europa league win you would aspire to more than rimming waistcoat and the fa

West Ham ladies have never won a European title. The men have put them to shame.

Weirdly, it seems to have started when he had his wisdom teeth out. He was crap for Chelsea after that.

Joining that lot over the road won’t help his development though. They’ve not coached anyone for a decade.

Sadly, Southgate loves his safe and boring style of football but he does get results. It's when we play France and Belgium where he struggles to beat them.

We have the Euros to try and win. Then playing Nations League in League B, likely playing Kazakhstan when we should be playing Spain but because of the very poor performances against Hungary we got relegated when we should never have been relegated from League A.

Then after we try to qualify for the World Cup in USA, Canada and Mexico. Then the Euros at home.

More bizarre squad choices by the waistcoat. Sterling has found a bit of form recently in a dreadful chelsea side, But Rashford who has been appalling this season gets the nod ahead of him and Nkeitia. Obviously Henderson is in the squad aswell as he is the future of our midfield.

You can't keep having totally new teams/squad based on current PL form, will lose the harmony/cohesion this England squad have. you need a balance of experienced England players and form players.

Might see a spine of - Pickford, Maguire, Henderson/Phillips, Watkins. Not sure about the opposition but it'd strike fear into me.

A.Gordon / C.Palmer --> M.Gashfoot
N.Pope --> Mr Grimsdale

Zero left-backs in the squad.
