    I can get on board with dropping Bellingham. Really poor form and someone who brings division to a dressing room rather than unity.

    If he was tearing up trees in training and then showing what he can do in the minutes he has on the pitch then he would be getting more starts and showing good form.

    For someone who was the rock of the Madrid team when he first joined to someone you leave on the bench would suggest poor form rather than good??

    Sorry Brady didn’t realise this. Thought he’d just fallen out of favour.

    Tuchel doesn't fancy Bellingham, but is he getting a game for RM?....He'll be at Arsenal. Or one of the Manc clubs in a season or two.

    52 appearances last season - and has featured in the last four games after recovering from a shoulder injury. He's definitely still in favour.

    He had shoulder surgery in the summer and missed pre-season, he's played in the last four league games, but mainly from the bench.

    Squad is awful. Where’s Wharton we’ve been missing a player like that for about 20 years. Then he puts on Loftus Cheek who’s had about 10 different chances.

    Squad may not look great on paper, but nor did the team that spanked Serbia on their own patch. I don't give a **** who is in the squad if they can play like that regularly

    we're playing a friendly against wales and a world cup qualifier against latvia, ranked 137th in the world.

    understandable that the manager thinks we don't need all our best players for either of these.

    Not got any badges but I would have thought it better to have your first choice players playing together as a team in games as often as possible rather than swapping and changing every time.

    You underestimate the clout of the top clubs - they don't want to be risking their top players in meaningless friendlies

    The Southgate criticism for me was both deserved and undeserved. He was a brilliant statesman and created a squad unity I’d never seen in my lifetime. We got to finals because he created that team spirit and we had exceptional players. However, we lost those finals due to him being painstakingly pragmatic and not having g the faith in our players to go out and dominate lesser opposition. The way we played against Italy in the euros final of 2021 was criminal. To an extent it was the same against Spain, man for man we had the superior players, they had played much better in the tournament though so had momentum on their side. The World Cup defeat to France was just unlucky really. We had the lions share of the game and some very questionably refereeing go against us. Overall Southgate did well, but it will always feel like a missed opportunity given the talent at his disposal. He deserves immense credit for being the man to bring that talent together and play as a team though.
