Drop all three. It's a tournament. You can't wait for your favourites to play themselves into form.
England - Euro 2021 Discussion | FA chairman: Southgate to be offered new contract until Euro 2024

That's a pretty low bar though. Barely been better as well.
Foden was better, Kane is arguable.
While I understand all the complaints,
I do think Saka is going to do well.

Yeah right, he's been rubbishI don't get the refusal to play Bellingham. He is a first-teamer for a Champion's League level side, but Southgate doesn't consider him good enough to get in over Phillips or Rice.
Sterling seems to have an automatic first-team place based on nothing. It is good Saka is getting a game, but surely Sancho should be in the team.

He has been rubbish, still better than sterling.
Foden has been terrible. Sterling at least has a goal and an acceptable enough first game to his advantage.
He's not. He's been better than Kane and Sterling for starters.
No Sancho
He must of shat in Southgate's handbag

Doesn't like none PL English players from the looks of it.
No he hasn’t, Sterling at least has a goal and a decent enough first game to his name. Foden has done nothing.
no Sancho and two DM’s. Southgate is a clown
Sterling didn't have a decent enough first game. He's been poor and he's been poor the majority of the season hence him being dropped by his club
I think it's a good lineup from the manager.
Has clearly identified the lack of direct running around Kane as a problem.
He could have changed it up in midfield but if you look at it sensibly, Grealish has much more attacking tendencies than Mount. So actually, giving that front 4 complete license is not stupid.

At this point it looks like deliberate sabotage from Southgate. Like when mourinho picked mctominay at CB.
He has learned the square root of feck all from the last 2 games.
Two DMs AGAIN. Clueless cnut.

What's going on with Southgate not picking Sancho? No offence to Saka but Sancho is much better player on the right then him.
Getting to the stage now where you have to question why did Southgate even bother picking him in the squad altogether

Sterling again ffs.
Southgate is a clueless idiot. Saka starts ahead of Sancho? Sterling plays again despite being one of the worse players on the pitch in the previous game. 2 x hilding midfielders again. Sooner he gets the sack the better useless manager.
3 shots, 1 key pass, 1 goal.
Vs.
1 shot, 0 key passes, 0 goals.
Hmmm, I wonder which attacker did more.
Let's be honest, we all knew Southgate was useless before a ball was kicked here. We just didn't know he was this bad. I can't wait for him to waste another year then fail at the WC, as well.
We might have a chance at Euro 2024 when we might have a decent coach in. Until then expect nothing but shite.

Sterling has been fecking gash both games let’s not beat around the bush.
He nearly fluffed his chance for the goal as well.
He should be nowhere near the first XI.
But as he’s a Southgate favourite he’ll start every fecking game.
This proves sterling has been good does it?
No, it’s proves he’s done more than Foden who’s been fexking terrible. I don’t think any of the forwards have been “good”. Kane and Foden have been the worst though, offered absolutely nothing.
I’d have dropped all 3.
I've watched more of Saka than I have of Sancho, so I may be mis-characterising Sancho here. But one thing that's immediately apparent is how hard Saka works when out of possession. Same is true for Mount.
Southgate obviously fancies the high press. It could be that Saka is in there to pick up the slack that Mount leaves behind.

Well yes if you judge entire performance levels by three basic stats.
These analysts have it easy!
Maybe Sancho isn't getting the job done in training?
Only thing I can think of.
Also, why play a double pivot?

I judged Foden with my eyes, and he was shite, posed zero threat. I checked the stats to see if that backed my up, it did.
No it doesn’t - bollocks stats
Definitely a back 4? Wondering if he does Shaw LCB and Saka LWB, just for no apparent reason which would justify Saka > Sancho.
Think Saka will do well though tbf.

The goodwill that Foden has on this forum is cringeworthy - he’s been fecking rubbish yet people are defending him!
Happy to see Saka instead of him tbh.

I don't see how there's much between Foden and Sterling, neither have excelled at all. It's splitting hairs. However, if you are going for pace alongside Kane which is the probable logic it makes a lot of sense. It's probably not just based on a direct comparison, and even if it was they have both underperformed. I don't know what's going on with Sancho mind.
Not a single poster is claiming Sterling’s been good, do keep laughing.No it doesn’t - bollocks stats
Should have gone to Specsavers.
Yes I knowNo it doesn’t - bollocks stats
Absolutely gash, has offered nothing.
wow, you just come up with that?
If England win when is there R16 match ?
Southgate's obsession with Sterling will eventually cost England the tournament.
No
Nope. Sterling did well in the first game and more than the other two did in two games combined. Not that I think he should start. It should be Grealish /Rashford and Sancho
Foden has been shit, utter shit. Sterling just slightly better.
