How does Southgate get away with it ?

Yup, take a chance. Leave Foden on and pull off the terminally dull Philips (had a good game vs Croatia but looked poor tonight) instead. Sure Scotland might get a chance or two more but they got those anyway.

Grealish was awful off the bench. Sum of what he did was running backwards with the ball. Southgate's system stifles these players, but at some point the finger has to be pointed at them not living up to the levels they should set themselves.

Rice tackles, hustles, picks the ball up and gives it to a grown up. Philips can't be in the same team if he plays it so slowly liek tonight. To be fair, you can pick either one but Philips looks like he might be more of a liability trying to play the hard man.

Add to that Kane just looked awful looks like his legs have gone, absolutely no mobility whatsoever. Tottenham should be looking to offload him while they can still get a good price.

He’s too dull. The only crumb of comfort is we can throw away the next game and finish 2nd for a better draw

What we need to play is


——————Pickford——————
Walker—Stones—Mings—Chilwell
———————Rice———————
———Mount———Grealish———
Foden————Kane———Sancho



Sterling has been rubbish
Rice is defensively better than Phillips but offers less going forward. That isn’t an issue if you play create midfielders ahead.
Pace and trickery on the wings with Foden & Sancho
Kane should not leave the 18yd box

Southgate won't put him in the middle, stuck him straight out wide because he'd never take off his lovechild Mount. A good player whose done nothing in 2 games. Still he's a trustee for Dull Boy so he'll never be dropped or moved our of position.

Southgate went to my school. My P.E teacher was England schoolboy manager (now at Charlton) and he said Southgate wasn't even the best player at my school.
Guy worked hard but was determined. I'm sure even he will realise England aren't balanced and need to attack more. International football is just nowhere near club level.

Where would england/Scotland come if they were in the PL?

I thought Grealish looked positive. Committed players, won fouls but I think needed to be more selfish/brave when he got into the box

Southgate is by far our biggest issue. With him in charge we're fuq-ed.

It’s genuinely embarrassing he is England manager.

Complete and utter clown that doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing.

Grealish tried to influence the game,but in reality he had no back up from the other English players.

It was dire slow defensive football against the 3rd lowest ranked team in a 24 team tournement.

He should have been sacked years ago. What do people expect. Saka should be playing. Kane and sterling should not

yup, he was at least facing the defenders, trying to take men on. Everyone else stood still admiring him and waiting for a backwards pass.

Correct in every respect Back Four.

As someone who is not fond of west ham... Rice is a far better player.

Even as a Leeds supporter and big fan of Philips I can see that England's midfield is stifled by having him and Rice occupying the middle and would definitely advocate Philips making way for Grealish and just have one holding midfielder.
We are so turgid to watch with Southgates overly cautious approach and players like Foden Grealish Mount and Sancho need to be given free reign.
I won't hold my breath though as Southgate is the Theresa May of football management.

Rice does nothing game after game, boring player no wonder Southgate picks him

Phillips,Batty you only appreciate them if they play for your side

Fixed that for you.

Rice and Phillips were quite easily outshone by the Scottish midfield. Gilmour looks a real talent. Our tactics were all wrong, southgate needs to put more trust in the formidable attacking talent, that’s the key.,Scotland to be fair, we’re good, and probably deserved the win.,

Lowfields73 you are talking rubbish. Take the glasses off. Or put them on even

For the record I would have had Bamford possibly even starting up front. Leeds are a good team but Phillips is nothing compared to rice
