    For the future of English football.

    Get rid of Southgate now before he drags us back years & ruins all the young talent we’ve got.Imagine what the Leeds manager could do with this squad.

    I don’t think he’s picking the team for the right reasons tbh but that’s nothing new.

    Kane (****ing walking most of game) & Sterling were on far too long imo, What does Mings actually do?

    Best not to moan about Southgate, he knows best

    Did Scotland won World Cup? they should’ve won imo

    Having said that we’ll manage to win the final somehow

    The manager is not the REAL problem,It is the bloated FA.How many mistakes have they made and wasted so much money over the years.Going back to the time when we more or less gave a blank cheque to Sven.Adam Crozier at the time openly said he is our target,no matter what.Sven's agent must have been in ecstasy.Southgate fits their agenda,he'll do what he's told.Who decides how these members of the FA are elected?I remember talking to an Owl when Dave Richards was part of the FA establishment,he said he could not believe how much money was being wasted on various do's they went to,all at our expence.They are always classed as the FA,we never get to know the names of all these people and consequently nobody gets the blame.Just removing Southgate is not the answer to the problem.

    Its always been difficult watching England, mostly they bore the hell out of us. They seem more interested in political rhetoric...its time to stand up and play football

    Sterling out Sancho in

    If only there was some way to find out who runs the FA.

    The people are still invisible though.

    Foden he's a one trick poney cut inside onto his left foot. Sancho in for him. Sterling & Rashford not good enough Grealish in just behind Kane. Not sure about full backs James with games could be the answer on the right. Shaw or Chilwell on the left.

    Really though, the future of English football should be good.

    The "current crop" of talent is possibly better now than it has been in the past, so the raw ingredients are there, but is the "chef" up to it?

    Such is football and the format of knock out competitions Southgate can with a few strokes of luck become a national hero.

    As for those running the FA, well it's the usual collection of media people, accountants and "box ticking" appointments. No significant input from anybody that's played the game at any professional level.

    Trippier and Chilwell at the back for me. Got to get to the byline. Give Kane 45 mins but I’m not sure he’s fit.

    I’d also bring Henderson and Bellingham in.

    Grealish left and Sancho right. Foden (who is a bit more than a 1 trick pony) or Mason Mount just behind Kane.

    Sterling and Rashford nowhere near it on current form.

    Still puzzled as to why Ward Prowse isn’t there.

    Rice and Calvin Phillips were awful last night. We didn’t move the ball quick enough.
