If Grealish and TAA had started instead of Sterling and James, we might have been 7 up instead of a measly 5. Swap Abraham for Kane as well and it would surely be 10!

Wasted, he's hiding behind the settee waiting for everyone to go to bed.Blimey. The OP has had an absolute mare here
You picked a good usernameSterling - 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?

What a load of tosh. Aside from the fact that Henderson isn’t a regular starter and Stones was dropped altogether when he was out of favour at Man City, Southgate has shown he is more than happy to promote players when they deserve it - see Foden, James, Saka. The fact is that Mings and Coady are inferior to Stones and Maguire and DCL and Abrahams are not even close to being in the same vicinity as Kane. JWP is a decent player, but he’s not at the same level as Rice or Mount.Bad timing with the original post but in some respects he is right. By the time the World Cup rolls around Southgate will be picking Maguire, Kane, Sterling, Pickford, Stones, Henderson and co irrespective of their form at the time. Those players know their places are safe. They'll even be picked if injured.
For those players like Calvert Lewin, the other goalies, Mings, Coady, Ward Prowse, Abrahams, etc won't get to play other than a token two minutes when England are winning and running down the clock. Some of those who played last night shouldn't have been picked based on form. It worked last night because the opposition was 5th rate but they'll be found out against good teams.
