“Yet again”!!! your negatives are idiotic though “we would’ve lost the second half” rubbish. But we won the first half 5-0 so where’s the negative? His substitutions? You kit maybe think that he’s just saving players? What did he get wrong today? NOTHING!!
Won the game in the first half and played the second half in 2nd gear. The subs, for me, didn't really matter, some game time for some of those who would be 'more back up players. One negative for me is Stirling; he's playing without the freedom that the rest of the starting eleven play with. I think we should drop him and play Rashford or Vardy against Belgium. Henderson was immense today, MoM for me
Bollocks mate. We attacked first ten then Southgate quite rightly said hold the ball and save energy, and used subs unlikely to be first picks. Very savvy management and not a minuscule reflection on the team. It was utterly deliberate to sit off and canter.
Some of the comments on here ****ing hell. I bet they all come from go getters who nail life. We won 6-1 and that was because we chose to step off. The substitutions were deliberate to give outsiders a game and save the main men. ****ing hell. 6-1 and negativity. This I why folk run away from the city of Sunderland.
Because we'll avoid some of the bigger teams early on, giving us a chance to get further into the competition.
Dier or Henderson??? My heart says Henderson but my heart says Dier. Our defence is dodgey and hes a CB by trade and does a much better job covering the back 3
Yeh before we kicked a ball I would have said Dier I think now we are moving on nicely I think leave Henderson in the team.
I wouldn't drop him i just wouldn't play him in the holding role once the games step up. Feck knows who id drop for him but that's Gareths problem and a nice problem to have. I rate Dier highly and i think he needs using alot more.
I think what’s clear is that Jordan has a great leadership quality about him. He’s been made captain of Liverpool and he’s captained England for a reason. I do like Dier but they are incredibly similar and it seems maybe that’s what gets Jordan the nod.
I hope your foot is off the gas, and Lascelles is still left out, for the mid November friendly against the US.
