    And too ugly?

    He's 5'10 and has decent pace. He doesn't need to be The Flash.

    How has he been injured for so long.

    He suffered a foot injury and lost his place to Burn. As were know Burn then put on an amazing season for his capability. Targett then got a hammy injury, came back then went off injured after a few minutes with his achilles. Just really bad luck. Yet Jack **** thinks I’m trolling and I have no evidence of the above! Jack **** and Knows ****i believe are closely related.

    Aston Villa fans warned me in 2022 that he was class for a while when behind Graelish but when he got a contract he was never the same.

    He was good in the is 2021/2022 season, but as soon as he got his contract he has been ****e or unfit ever since.

    Not injured, he died ages ago. They still kept doing the series without him for years after though.

    I saw some stats the other day which showed that we lost fewer games with the big lad from Blyth as left back, so to my mind, the most effective left back is Big Dan Burn.

    The irony here is that Tripps isn't even mentioned.
    And the other 4 are all English.
    Somebody tell Southgate.

    It’s absolutely true.

    Hes become **** at right back. But he’s terrible at left back.

    Not on the England plane - Chilwell, Colwill, Doughty, Henry, Burn, Hall.

    Players playing at LB - Trippier, Walker.

    Solutions offered - Saka.

    I think a trick Southgate is missing is burning these players out after a long season for most but he has 2 players basically per position to rotate with (+ a few spares).

    Bellingham, Foden, Rice, Saka, Kane, Walker have all played 50+ games this season already with their clubs and England throughout the season and look shattered. Kane as a prime example has played an average of just over 87mins in those 51 games.

    You look at that front 4 and your could easily rotate Gordon, Palmer, Eze, Bowen, Toney, Watkins through the team to give some of them a rest but he seems to be intent on playing those above for a minimum 70 mins before giving them a break. Gordon and Palmer came on and looked great last night in the last 15 mins (Gordon beat his player more times in 5 mins than Foden managed in 85 mins). Last night would have been a great opportunity to change the front 5/6 (I'd leave the defence as they need to gel)

    Mainoo and Wharton should be ahead of Trent and Gallagher for me. One starting, the other coming on later. Walker and Trent rotating, Trippier/Gomes/Shaw at LB as well. Stones is a must as is Pickford who hasn't put a foot wrong for England and Guehi is probably a shoe in alongside Stones but Branthwaite would have been a great option.
