England - Euro 2021 Discussion | FA chairman: Southgate to be offered new contract until Euro 2024

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Rice and Phillips is a bit odd to me. They both try and pick up the same positions and get confused as to when they should vacate them for each other. From what I've seen it always ends up with one of them looking like a spare wheel. Feel like Grealish should surely have played his way into the team too. I guess there's an argument in favour of Sterling's pace but he's hardly set the world alight recently - Grealish has been the best forward player in an England shirt.
Ah well, maybe it'll work out.

There's about 10 England fans on here so probably not.
No Shaw, no grealish. I don't understand.
Yes we'll be happy. None of us will be hoping us to lose or be annoyed if we win for heavens sake. I won't suddenly rate him if we win though.
Northern Ireland fan here and the even the lineup annoys me.
That is an absolute shit-show of a train-wreck of a team selection.
This is what happens when you give a crap manager (his club highlights were getting boro relegated) too many options. He ends up thinking he's Regaine Pep.

Henderson over Pickford.
Shaw/Chilwell over Trippier
Grealish over Sterling.

True!
Which is also a problem. Sterling should behind them and Sancho.
Surprised not to see Shaw starting.

I just can't get over this decision.
Sterling or Rashford had to play for a runner in behind - and rashford off the bench is a better option so I’m okay with that decision. I think Grealish will come on and show why he should start ahead of Foden/Mount. Bellingham is far better than Phillips but I suppose he has to protect Mings…the trippier one I don’t get. I’m assuming Sancho/Chilwell are injured otherwise them not being on the bench is bizarre too.
Jesus christ is that true?
I thought he'd played there way more than that.Southgate has either got a very cunning plan or he really is just not qualified for this job.
If England do anything in this tournament it will be in spite of Southgate.
One of Leeds’ manbuns
That’s a proper random selection. If England don’t perform, this is on Southgate.
100%. I see no reason how he's anything but an obstacle for this group to overcome. Apparently a good man manager, but in every other way he just seems questionable.
I am being told it is to counter the Croatian wide right player who always cuts inside - I have no idea about this personally.Jesus christ is that true?

Midfield and the left side of the defence looks quite a big problem for England. Don't see who else we can pick there though to improve things.
The England team is just very unbalanced. Southgate is a very inexperience coach and will need serious luck again to do anything this tournament. Not surprised we're 4 2 3 1, Southgate can't really coach anything else.
Not sure what's going on with Sancho and Chilwell?

A poster mentioned Grealish has no vision....THIS is why England never do well. Statistically speaking the most creative player, yet gets dropped for England's biggest game in the group. Outside of the statistical realm, Grealish is potentially England's talisman, you can talk about Foden all you wants, but he can't do what Grealish can do. The other day mourinho was talking about how Grealish reminded him of Figo. The confidence, the balance, the agility and the will to consistently take the ball. England finally have that player and have decided not to use him. For what?? Is it because he plays for Villa? So shortsighted and myopic. For me, it's almost disgusting. Does anyone expect him to take Villa to a UCL final? People will be mad about Chilwell, Shaw and Sancho; but this is by far the most disgusting decision. It's not like he wasn't the best player in the friendly games. How good does someone have to be to prove they belong in the first Xi. The truth is, Grealish would start for any other national team, both in Europe and the world. Yet in England, "he doesn't have experience at the top top level". Absolute bs.
fecking Southgate is wasting a big opportunity with this team selection. He can go feck himself.
Traditionally when the Caf doesn’t like a selection we do well. Does that apply to England as well? I bloody hope so as that lineup is mental!
Two proper left backs in the squad and neither start...
No....honestly, he's shown the type of person he is. Pure favoritism. It's not about Mount or Foden, but Sterling...come on? If it were simply over Rashford or Sancho( bias against a player not in England, eg Tomori) I would understand, but he's done this to Grealish. That's literally the equivalent of dropping Scholes for me.
It’s 100% for set pieces or, more likely, Southgate probably thinks Trippier is an LB.
reckon the rest can make a better team then the first XI, shocking stuff from Southgate.....

Imagine if Sancho ends up not playing a single minute
Poor reasoning from Southgate regarding Trippier
I guess Sterling is experienced and its clear from Southgate's selection that experience has influenced his decision today.
Fresh for pre season.Imagine if Sancho ends up not playing a single minute
What did he say?
Good 1vs1, experienced and closes down crosses.
Experience. Stupid cnut hasn't got a clue.
Kane?
I missed it, what did he say?
Southgate is super risk averse (2 DMs) and bised towards his old favourites (Sterling and Trippier). The guy would bench prime Rio for Matthew Upson if he coached him previously at a tournament.
Just like Pep fecks up difficult games by overthinking, you can rely on Southgate to feck up as well (most of the time). He is just a noob and loser.
He has nice hair.
