People freaking out because two GKs are on the bench when it's a requirement. 
Day 3: England vs Croatia | Austria vs North Macedonia | Netherlands vs Ukraine
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I reckon you'll roll over this Croatia team, no matter how clueless Southgate is
He’s never done it for England, and we have lots of attackers that can come off the bench. It’s an off selection of the 11 - but not that surprising to see Sancho outside of the match day squad.
Is this why he brought so many Right backs? So he can play two of them at once?
Has BBC lost studio audio? Can’t hear anything but can see the players walking in.
Lazy journos.
Not a great chant if I'm honest, don't see it catching on
What a shit lineup. Hope Croatia wins now, sorry guys.
They finally realised they DO control the broadcast.
Where the hell is Chilwell or Shaw? Like Gareth can't actually believe that Trippier is a better LB than either of them can he?
Anyway England should still win simply because this Croatia team is past it but he ain't helping himself with that line up, especially if its a sign of things to come in the tournament.

It's the official England Twitter feed
if Shaw isn't injured Southgate should be sacked for that decision alone
he must be, right!?
he must be, right!?
I agree. Which is why picking Sterling is crazy as the other 4 are all better players in terms of technique and ability, but also 3 of them in better form, while Rashford far better suited to the counter attack and if he wasn't half fit should be starting.
One of the most in form attackers in the world out of the match day squad when one is starting who is woefully out of form (Sterling) and one is on the bench who is clearly injured (Rashford). It's utterly baffling to me.
Maybe Trippier has been cutting in well and providing good crosses for Kane in training but Shaw and Chilwell are very good in this area. Assuming he's left back and Walker is the right.
Good thing is Grealish can come and change the game if it's not going well.

Weird reaction
Southgate is an absolute fecking moron. What a waste of a golden generation.
How can sancho not be in the squad?
That lineup is absolutely diabolical. Croatia to win it noe.
It feels like only England could give the job of managing such a great "tool set" to somebody who's only managerial "achievement" was getting a team relegated.
That is an absolute shit show of a team selection.
Feel sorry for Luke. Imagine having one of your best ever seasons and then have a 30-year-old guy who's played in that position a total of FOUR times in his life start over you.

England should still be winning this
Probably because he plays in the Bundesliga so Southgate was never bothered flying out to go watch him, so it's equivalent to being in the 2nd division or something
I see what he's doing at least with Sterling on the left. Rashford is injured so needs managing, while if we had both Grealish and Foden we may lack a player to run the channels / counter threat.
Sancho is possibly injured, we can only assume, otherwise it may be a statement that he's been dropped.
Your heart is in the right place but I wouldn't quit your day job.
Sancho needed some time off to finish the deal with us! Right?
Atleast we have Mount,Foden and Kane in the starting 11.
SANCHODAY#
Alright I quit
Probably give permission to sort out his transfer perhaps. There is only reason I can think of if not injured.
I can somehow get on board with Foden, Mount and Sterling over Rashford, Sancho and Grealish, but that LB decision is spectacular. No words for it.
You must be joking. I can never tell on this place.
I really hope Southgate answers the sancho stuff.
Will we ever have a brave attacking manager?
Where have you seen that?People freaking out because two GKs are on the bench when it's a requirement.
That lineup 
Is there any rationale for Tripper over Shaw? This looks more like an innsikt than a lineup but maybe Im not aware of something
Also a manager who can select a team on current form and not past performance.
bring back Fat Sam
Glad I'm over with my soft-spot-for-England phase.
Also, remember Neville creaming himself over how Southgate is the best thing ever for the national team in his cameo on Keane/Micah show?
