So that when Grealish doesn't make an impact he can claim he's not the solution. Helps if you bring off Foden. I'm beginning to think Southgate wants a draw to finish second and get an easier game in the next round.
I was actually thinking, I hope Southgate ain't playing for a draw. A draw is like a defeat, has the man got no pride.
I think he sets out not to lose, regardless of the opposition, and has no clue how to change a game to his advantage once his (only) plan A fails
He may be quite happy with it even if he isn't playing for it, which is equally **** imo. It's a short-term gain but I don't think it helps the team in the long run. Knocks confidence, halts any momentum and doesn't build any attacking link up play.
Sounds like Ole. I've been putting up with that **** all season, I'm fcked if I'm doing it with England as well.
