We all see it differently I suppose. Much improved on the Malta game imo. Still a bit experimental too.
Not watching but why is Lewis playing? I’m sure he is promising but he’s 18 and doesn’t normally start for City. Are we that desperate defensively?
Plus a crap ref Why does Southgate persist with Maguire? He's a liability half a dozen times each match
We have run out of left backs. He's better than most anyway, being pushed into midfield when we have the ball.
Yes, it's getting silly now, although he's always getting the excuse that we have players missing. Guaye and Stones for me, when Stones is fit. Southgate is just too stubborn at times.
God I get so ****ing bored watching England. There's so much talent available yet Southgate is so reluctant to let them off the leash. If Maguire is our best centre back option then this team will never achieve anything. He's absolutely ****e.
Agreed about Maguire. I think we have tried to be progressive, pushing the full backs infield in possession and playing Foden at 10. Watkins isn't quite up to it though and Grealish has again flattered to deceive. Yet again, Alexander Arnold isn't really pulling up trees either. Plus, you know how hard it is against a low press and very niggly fouls.
I'm not sure if expect too much. Maybe it's the hype and fees players get in this country. Lesser countries are starting to catch up in international football and many can field a strong starting eleven nowadays.
He's actually started 6 games for Pep this season and come off the bench in another 4. Another very good young English player.
