Chilwell and Trippier are both out of the England squad for the Denmark match, “leaving manager Gareth Southgate short of options on the left side”. I have an idea for you, Gareth...
This hearing and the allegations must have been known for some time. Withdrawal announcement as well timed as a Beckham or Scholes tackle. We have an excellent and impeccable left back at Saints, perhaps better he goes under the radar.
Now if Ralph was manger, not having a recognised left or right back isn't a problem it’s part of the fun of “what player can I play most out of position today”. Though Ralph would do that when he had a recognised player available......
Didn’t Bertrand fall out with Southgate quite publicly or am I making that up? When he was left out of a squad for a major tournament (Euros maybe)?
He said to the press that Gareth had made a mistake not taking him to Russia.....obviously burnt bridges after that. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6488873/ryan-bertrand-gareth-southgate/
Perhaps Southgate wants to go forward and regards Bertrand as a step back....that would make sense if we actually had a young replacement for Ryan
Fantastic result for The Boatmen last night to make club history in front of a big crowd of 341 and be in the hat for a chance to make the first round proper in the FA Cup..
Southgate will still refuse to see what's staring him in the face. Pickford is not the best English keeper.
No way was that a pen ..... mind you, Pickford is a twat for coming out like that and terrifying his defence .....
