Surely that is more of a reason to mix things up instead of calling up the equivalent of expired cheese to the squad?

There are two new squad members and one of those, Colwill will probably get a start. Dunk is older than Maguire with 1 cap, is he expired cheese or mixing things up?

The one I didn't like included was Henderson. Similar to his awful 'justification' of his transfer in the Athletic, I felt Southgate fudged his answers as to why he was selected and seems a bit hypocritical following his (perfectly acceptable) defending of taking a knee/rainbow armband etc.

Not about age, just form and playing time.

That Liechtenstein goal

SlowerThanPlatt · Sep 9, 2023

Scotland going along nicely with a 100% record, be a good game for a friendly on Tuesday

Evo1883 · Sep 9, 2023

Teams out , England should win but starting both Henderson and maguire ..

2 holding midfielders against Ukraine, never change Gareth, this approach has previously won you fuck all

Nick · Sep 9, 2023

Watching this Southgate interview, he's just contradicted himself.

Said that Saudi isn't up to the standard of premier League but then goes on about other trade deals the country does with them.

Continued to say he will pick players on performance.

Our CB options are dire compared to other top nations

What have trade deals got to do with who players for England. Poor message to send to players by picking Henderson and to some extent, Maguire

To be fair , maguire is pretty shite too , also doesn't really explain picking a past it jordan henderson

Nick · Sep 9, 2023

Thought I was watching football. Saudi politics, feel sorry for Ukraine. What next?

It was a very weird interview.

Because he's not really got any proper explanation for the shite he's doing

Won't matter against Ukraine anyway , its a banker

Yeah he just spat out random stuff.

People just get excited over him because we got to a final, ignoring that he fucked it up.

I think he’s done a good job as England manager. I just think he should be leaning towards players playing regularly at a decent level otherwise it sends the wrong message

Would you rather he had no idea who he thinks are his best players? This favourites allegation is often aimed at managers but it is nonsense. I want my manager to have favourites if they are the best players. You can disagree with his judgement 9n them for sure.

Are maguire and Henderson the best we've got ? One cant get in a united side that's average anyway and the other has moved to a league that's shite

He's picking favourites , and they're not our best players

Yes he is the most successful England manager for over 50 years. Annoyed he has picked Henderson though.

By success you mean won nothing and failed to win tournaments where the routes we had were absolutely piss easy , one was even played on our home pitch

In an era where most international giants have been shite ? Great

That's his judgement. I was responding to Nick's complaint that managers shouldn't have favourites.

And his judgement has failed us when it matters time and time again

Have no idea what England fans think hes done that nobody else could have in this era

But under all other managers in that period we have rarely got close.

Not the same era is it .. there's no doubt most international heavyweights have been shite over the last few years , no doubt whatsoever.

They’re certainly among the best English players for those two positions.

The criticism is getting hysterical considering where England are in terms of results and general standing in world football.

Other managers didn't have the squads he's had or the easy draws in competitions he's had.

International football has never been so shite and England have a great crop of players at the right time ...

Most heavyweights sides like Holland, Brazil and Germany are dire compared to years gone by ..

Southgates achieved nothing

Why oh why does Kane keep dropping into an already congested midfield.

How many managers in your lifetime have got England to a Euros Funal and a World Cup semi final?

It's ok, they were easy runs because the better teams got knocked out earlier so don't count

A euro we played at home basically with the easiest route of the tournament? Even the Germans were awful

Does the same apply to Robins because we lost the play off final on penalties?

We get this nonsense about the Championship was easy last season and we lost to a small town called Luton.
