Like watching paint dry, **** me we are boring.
I'd play saka ahead of foden.
No doubt, if Southgate is serious about playing players in form. Foden hasn’t caused those sort of problems in the first two games. Yes there’s always a chance he finds his form but Saka really took his chance. I’d be very tempted to stick with him, Grealish and Sterling.I'd play saka ahead of foden.
Strange people turning against Foden. It was only a few weeks ago that there was a thread comparing him with the very best in the world.
He should remain the first name on the team sheet
He has stuck with Sterling and all he did in those first two games of note was score. Sticking with Sterling paid off tonight when he repaid that faith. Equally Foden should also be given faith given his talent and start next week when we play world class opposition for the first timeNo doubt, if Southgate is serious about playing players in form.

I don’t know why but I have a feeling Kane will come good in the knockouts. Obviously this could just be a daft/incorrect hunch.
Well even if you leave out Saka you have to leave out Grealish or Mount to keep Foden in. Sterling won’t be dropped.

I think on balance I’d prefer Portugal. Which feels strange given they’re the reigning champions. Their defence was awful v Germany though.I’d probably give our group performance a C overall. 2 solid but not spectacular performance and a disappointing draw again the worst team in the group.
I think Portugal or Germany in the next round would be a good game. I don’t see us breaking down the French defence, and if we go a goal down and have to push they are lethal on the counter. They drew with Hungary but missed a lot of chances in that game.
it was all for them when they lost their opening game.Scotland now losing 2-1 and probably all over for them.
They did have to win last night which was a big ask. For parts of the game Scotland worried Croatia but couldn't maintain that for the 90 minutes. Modric was the best player on the pitch by a mile.it was all for them when they lost their opening game.
Well given that there are 24 European teams at both the Euros and World Cup as of the next cycle, you would certainly hope not.They did have to win last night which was a big ask.

That Scotland team is the best we've seen for 20 years though still not good enough to progress.
I suspect it won't be another 23 years before they qualify again though.
There is that, of course.Well given that there are 24 European teams at both the Euros and World Cup as of the next cycle, you would certainly hope not.
And the fact the nations league gives teams a good chance to qualify now. You would expect them to be regulars at tournaments nowWell given that there are 24 European teams at both the Euros and World Cup as of the next cycle, you would certainly hope not.
Southgate doesn't play players in form. That's a myth. He sticks to what he knows and who he trusts.No doubt, if Southgate is serious about playing players in form.

Humpty sorry mate but I am calling this as bs. Go look at the players Southgate has used where had much of the old guard gone. The team for this competition is very different to the world Cup.Southgate doesn't play players in form. That's a myth. He sticks to what he knows and who he trusts.
