No way. Jude is a baller in a way weak system player Foden is not. The former can play shit and still score a brace while Foden needs everything working out for him and the team to tick. A disjointed lot like Southgate’s England needs players that can make something out of nothing.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
England would probably be better
7 shots on target. They had the opportunities just fecked it up. As I said, they'll be disappointed they didn't win.
If a top team turns up and is as poor as we were today, you'd be pissed you didn't take the opportunity to grab the three points. They outplayed us ultimately just couldn't finish us off.
Pretty amusing that the media have finally realised how shite Southgate is. No fecking shit.
Harry Kane has misread the room.
You're not wrong
Southgate's evident mediocrity aside, it's been obvious for a long time that many England players just really struggle with the extra pressure of international tournaments.The drought since '66 looms over them and if they do break it, my bet is that even with a much better manager, it'll be a grinding effort punctuated with moments of individual talent rather than with aesthetically pleasing, coherent football producing a legendary win.
In international football? Their job is to not feck up the call ups, keep the players happy, create a good emvironment, then send your best team out and get the feck out of the way.Yes we missed a penalty but our performance was pathethic. You don't think leaving you're top scorer on the bench doesnt have a massive impact. Southgate has been fecking up in most of the tournaments now. He is awful and that is the view shared by alot of English fans. As for last comment
I would have saved the same 6 out of 7 Pickford did. Denmark huffed and puffed but created no real chances. They should be disappointed with the result considering England were utter hot garbage.
Wouldn’t mind him being the player United try and sign from Palace this summer instead of Olise
I can get on board with "having no manager is better than being managed by Southgate."
Loved him saying that we got a result tonight…it was a scraping the barrel draw.
England. Favourites for the tournament 
Looking forward to Italy vs Spain. First match between 2 top sides at the Euros so far.
He’s shit but has been in the job for 8 years and is paid extremely handsomely.
Spend the best part of two years beating shite teams in qualifying and travelling across Europe all expenses paid to watch players he has no clue on how to use.
It’s an awesome gig.
There 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.
Kane saying ‘we didn’t know what to do’ when they dropped deep is like…really?
Not saying they’re mugs but how many of those players displace the England players?
Based on tonight? About 8 of them.
If Micah Richard’s doesn’t cut those angles in his hair, does he just have no forehead?
Haha, in, like swimming in the stuff!
The back 5 is generally ok defensively but not great offensively. The midfield is a disaster - Trent is a fish out of water, Bellingham is doing a Stevie Me impression and Rice looked pissed today. Upfront Kane is a problem (an immobile goal scorer like late era Shearer) while Foden is clearly talented but out of position.
Four tournaments in and Southgate serves up disjointed, chaotic performances like Jackson Pollock dripping dogshit on a pristine white England shirt.

It would be the smarter deal. Build the defence first.
Of course Southgate will play the same team and claim "vindication" when winning gainst a Slovenia that need to win and overcommit leading to some breakaway goals.
I was imagining him looking like a donut.Haha, in, like swimming in the stuff!
Kane basically saying they don’t know what Southgate is asking them to do.
Foden is average without the city players making him look much better than he is.
Which was my point.
For what it's worth, people who are pissed right now should be directing that not at Southgate. But the FA and media for continuing to support a man that clearly was inept at his job. Should have gone four years ago after that horrific Final against Italy.
I mean is he just on automatic. Does he think we've won?
1-1 is if anything flattering to us. Denmark were the stronger, if still not great.
I reckon he’d have a gerrard style twohead

Walker claiming it's just tournament football (he kept repeating that for some reaon) and it was a deserved draw. Ignoring the fact that they played terribly.
HAVING A *GREAT* TIME! Wooooo!He should play the next game on the bench. He was worse that Rolstan was for Scotland last night.
Great example of how stats can be manipulated to fit a narrative. He was shit.
Trolling fecks
I actually thought he looked better today and then he took him off.
Southgate shaking like a shitting dog is very inspirational!
Shift 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.

No way he just said that about Kalvin Phillips
Southgate just genuinely said that England are struggling to replace Kalvin Phillips.
That kinda goes for the whole team
