With the teams he has faced, that should be a given.unfortunately Southgates got us winning all the time
Met many big England fan City fans over the years.Bang on the money mate , a few of us have done the miles watching England home and away we seemed to have more during city’s dark days as some of us had never been abroad
Made some good mates from city watching England. We’ve more watching England than some think on here.
I remember being in Spain when David White made his England debut never been so proud to be a blue that night.
Jones and cleverley, really? When was the last time they played for England? I'm not saying players don't benefit nationally from playing for the top sides, they do, that's true for all top sides not specifically united and down to them playing in better sides and looking better. we're not on about making squads though, we're on about a player being chosen to start in a quarter final purely because he's signed for United which is pure bollocks. The same guy made the squad as a dortmund player over a man united player in greenwood...so Jones Cleverly and Lingard to name but three were all England class ?
I think the point is that Southgate, like so many previous England managers, is weak and allows himself to be influenced by the media and there has been a strong lobby for Sancho. Foden was unfairly criticised after the first two matches and that was driven by certain elements of the press. I am sure Southgate doesn't sit down and say I must play United players but he is weak none the less.
You mention Rashford,who has become a star on social media not on the pitch. His form has been pitiful this season and he should not even be in the squad yet he was brought off the bench to play.
He certainly does all based on his huge trophy cabinet.Shearer. ‘’he makes his own selections, he makes his own decisions and doesn’t get influenced. He’s got everything spot on so far ‘’
a legend that knows the game
