Southgate loyalty over form again

[Duffman]

Sterling - out of form
Maguire - out of form
Kane - out of form

all selected on loyalty.
No Alexander Arnold
No Grealish

another manager wasting a great generation of players?

James is a right back very much in form though. As is Walker.

He’s never going to drop Sterling who hasnt let England down.

Southgate should be deciding now on his best team/formation and sticking with it at every opportunity, to give the players the chance to gel.

This is our best team in my opinion;

Pickford

Walker
Maguire
Stones
Shaw

Henderson
Rice

Saka
Grealish
Foden

Kane

Grealish is out of form, so surely you can't moan about him not being selected?

Reece James is the in form right back in the Premier League, so surely you can't moan about him playing ahead of Alexander-Arnold?

Apart from Saka for Sterling I’d agree with that.

Chilwell and Cresswell have been substantially better than Shaw so far this season as well.

The only player I'd question the selection of tonight is Maguire, but even then there's something to be said about keeping an established defence.

Sterling and Kane to score now. Get your money on it.

You can't just drop a load of players who got to a tournament final. If you change the whole team on form you'll never get a settled national side. The best international teams know/knew eachother inside out like a club side

 

[WilliamMunny]

And don't overlook the James assist

 

[Tryasize10]

I think Southgate has shown enough during his time as England manager to show he knows what he's doing and how to get a tune out of this group of players.

 

[JonnyHistory]

Aged like milk this one

Chopping and changing won't make us better, players need to be phased in and out of the team where possible. Well, that's just my opinion for as much as it's worth.

I have won the Champions League on CM01/02 with Scarborough mind, so, I know of what I speak /s

 

[LaPennaBianca]

Kane, with an assist from Sterling

 

[TeaCider]

Hahahahaha.
