    Southgate needs to make a much much better selection next time around, this is every bit the mess it looked like it would be when the squad was announced.

    I mean no left backs, seriously?

    He has 3 CB's, 2 RB's & 2 DM's on the pitch at the same time. We are playing Denmark.

    Apparently Sancho was uninspiring.

    7 mins to go, need a goal and missing an edge.

    ‘I know, time for Maitland-Niles’

    I know it's Kane, but what's he done to justify playing most of the 180 minutes over the 2 games. He's looked rusty and off the pace.

    Danny would have scored that.

    Literally don't understand why England managers always lose the plot.

    Why the **** are we playing trippier at RB and SEVEN defensive players?

    Grealish should have started over an unproven championship player. Shocking from Southgate

    I do sadly think Southgate is the Koeman of England managers. A good season where the blocks fall into place, and everyone thinks he’s the messiah.

    Edit: he is a nice bloke though, so there’s that difference.

    I think he looks more like one of Beavis and Buthead, **** knows which one though.

    Just checking everywhere for ****s given on that one, and I’m afraid I’ve come up with a blank.

    I think he's handled the transition to younger players well and has improved us being more comfortable on the ball.

    How well he's actually doing will be answered next summer. Wouldn't expect anything better than the 1/4s though, we're still very average in two extremely important positions in central midfield and in defence.
