Southgate just genuinely said that England are struggling to replace Kalvin Phillips.

You need Gordon on the LW. Eze will just cut inside and get in the way of Foden/KaneShift Bellingham to 8, Foden to 10 and bring probably Eze into LW.
Stop bringing Gallagher on in any circumstances and use Mainoo or TAA as the change option. Also get Palmer on at RW if you are going to sub Saka.
Really? I muted the TV when he appeared.Southgate just genuinely said that England are struggling to replace Kalvin Phillips.
That’s a hilarious quoteSouthgate just genuinely said that England are struggling to replace Kalvin Phillips.
He's a fecking clown.Southgate just genuinely said that England are struggling to replace Kalvin Phillips.
I’d go Foden personally but yeah, one has to go for me. I thought it would be ok against weaker teams but it’s already getting exposed, he’s got to make a tough decision to ensure we win the next game and go through top.I definitely agree but I'd say it's between Jude and Foden. I'd bench Jude tbh
What?Kanes the scapegoat here on the bbc, no mention of southgate's ineptitude. Total misdirection.
Tbf, he was ideal for England. But, yeah, it says alot about GS.

?That final was 12 years ago, fecking hell
The man is a certified clown. As an American of Mexican ancestry I would be delighted to have either USA or Mexico play a tuneup match against any England side managed by Gareth Southgate.Southgate on TAA: “It is an experiment, we know it’s an experiment and we have to try things because we don’t have a natural replacement for Kalvin Phillips”.
I mean there’s your answer. A manager who has one system and is stuck without a the players to play it. Clueless.
He’s got two naturally gifted CMs, comfortable on the ball, great passers and he’s choosing to play a right back.
Nah he’d close half the restaurant and take one order at a time.Tweet

Because then he could play a defensive six… now he’s forced into an adventurous defensive five. That’s why he plays TAA in midfield… makes him happier when there’s lots of defensive players out there.Southgate just genuinely said that England are struggling to replace Kalvin Phillips.
Buildup for Spain v Italy, ITV mentioning the 2012 final.
He's drowning in talent and lamenting the absence of Kalvin Phillips. It's his job to find solutions and make hard choices.Tbf, he was ideal for England. But, yeah, it says alot about GS.
And saying England are experimenting in a tournament that they were favourites to win. Not surprising that Kane just basically gave an interview saying the players aren’t sure what they are doing.He's drowning in talent and lamenting the absence of Kalvin Phillips. It's his job to find solutions and make hard choices.
If only there were a young dynamic press resistant midfielder who was a brilliant passer in tight spaces.Southgate just genuinely said that England are struggling to replace Kalvin Phillips.
Wild thing to say about a player like Phillips who at his best was nothing more than bang average. What a garbage managerSouthgate on TAA: “It is an experiment, we know it’s an experiment and we have to try things because we don’t have a natural replacement for Kalvin Phillips”.

Ivory Coast sacked their manager in the middle of the last AFCON.feck. A. Goat.
Has anyone ever sacked a manager mid tournament? Because we need to do it right now.
England also have the luxury of having John Stones, who is perfect to step into midfield, meaning that you can play a more offensive second midfielder.If only there were a young dynamic press resistant midfielder who was a brilliant passer in tight spaces.
Southgate is such a twat I'm speechless
It mostly comes down to who is fitter and who fecks up the least. It's a cup played under fairly extreme conditions for the players, in terms of pressure and fitness. Managers can feck up. They do it all the time. Sometimes it matters. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it matters, but not nearly as much as the players fecking up individually. Most of the time thatThere is a number of factors involved during the game, picking the best squad, getting the best out of players who you have for a limited time, tactics, responding to the other team, making effective subs, changing tactics in the middle of the game. To think its just players running around is silly.

They won it.
We’d need to fire our current manager first.As an England fan, I can't wait sill Southgate buggers off to Man United.
