Doesn't deserve to retake that. Was terrible.

Lucky he gets to retake it, that was an awful penalty!

The way I’ve phrased it may have been a bit bold. We’d undoubtedly be stiffer competition for them than Poland. As Otis has said, we’d have to be pretty peak about it.

I think it’s fair to say that the only way we beat France (should we progress) next Saturday is if Mbappe gets injured in training.

Intrigued to see what team he goes for tonight.

I don’t think it’s a game for pace as they’ll match us, as many technicians on the pitch as we can wins us the game IMO.

Would love only one proper holding midfielder (Rice or Phillips), alongside Bellingham with someone like Maddison in place of Mount/Henderson but it won’t happen.

FFS Rashford dropped to the bench.

That can be arranged if you just PM me the training ground address.

Don’t mind the Rashford one too much - he can be a big impact sub alongside Grealish, the Henderson one is frustrating, both as he isn’t that great a footballer and he was poor last game.

The only way I see Maddison get a game is if he's being saved for the final to be a complete unknown quantity .
Nah scrub that

You know he would have played Sterling instead of Foden had he been avaliable as well.

Feels like we’re running out of things to criticise Southgate for in terms of team selection.

I could've sworn up until the point he scored, a fair swell of opinion around these parts was Rashford wasn't up to it, and Southgate was a fool for picking him.

Saka has done well this world cup, looked a serious threat against Iran, scored too... so it's not really a slap in the face, is it? And Foden stays in, which we all(?) wanted.

Feels like all people wanted was for him to play to our strengths instead of covering a weakness.

Yeah, I am not too unhappy. Very brave though to drop a player who bagged two last time out.

If we were to somehow lose (which I don't think we will), it will be carnage on social media.

Definitely. I am sure many were calling for him to be substituted at half time.

Except against the USA and the first half against Wales, yeah. The former being a crime against football…

Indeed. Not a Southgate fan really but can't moan at that really. Scoring against Wales is like scoring against Barnsley anyway.

He was gash first half against Wales, then he wasn’t. You’ve got to play strikers who are scoring.

Got to drop Kane then, as Saka and Foden are both scoring too.

Mainly by playing with a back 4 and scoring shitloads of goals.

They’ve got one each haven’t they?

You could also not play 7 defensive outfielders against Senegal. What’s the plan for France? Midfield five of Rice Phillips Henderson Bellingham and Gallagher?

Who are the three DMs? You're surely not classing Bellingham as one...
