No idea how people rate Southgate. His record is built on as much sand as Bruno Lage’s first season.
I'd have brought Gordon on for TAA. Dropped Bellingham back alongside rice, & foden as the 10. As others have alluded we're trying to pick the best 11, but not putting several in their best positions, or playing to their strengths.Bowen isn’t international standard. I’d have had Gordon on.
Yes it's an excellent start.
Wouldn't hurt to put Foden and one or two others on the bench for the next game. Plenty of games to go if we are to go all the way. Can always bring them off the bench if needed.
Give others a run and keep everyone fresh, involved and competing.
Wouldn't mess with the back four though.
I stand by what I said after the first game.
Rice too. Worst I've seen him play.Only Geuhi and Trippier come out with any credit. Bellingham looked done in after 20 minutes and was left on the pitch to stroll about and contribute nothing. That’s not on him it’s all on Southgate.
I didn't laugh at you Del. Southgate is bang average.Disgusting attitude from some of them. Tactics and intent were abysmal. We know there's some quality footballers in there, front foot, aggressive players, but he's basically tying their shoelaces together. I got fucking laughed at last year for saying this group was wasted on Southgate. This group is wasted on Southgate.
