Southgate, such a progressive manager they said.
England squad (Games against Bulgaria and Kosovo)
- Thread starter Sean_RedDevil
- Start date
Rose is out of his depth at international level
Whoever said that is deluded. He’s a nothing manager.
Henderson tryna take Kanes head off
I must say after 15 minutes that we are looking outstanding with our midfield trio 
Southgate is an un-controversial, yes man manager. He has the squeaky clean persona that the FA look for. He isn't particularly good at anything as far as I can see, but he is good enough to get England to qualify and get out of the groups at all tournaments. He plays decent football and has talented players who are capable of getting the crowd on their feet.
Undoubtedly their are more talented managers who would jump at the England job- the problem is that, outside of perhaps Eddie Howe, none of them are English.
Bulgaria look pretty pants though

No idea why Baines isn't in the squad nowadays, Rose and Chilwell aren't good enough.

And we moan about Pogba and McT
Too old
I thought Barkley was supposed to be a creative midfielder

Sancho needs to come on.
Cannot believe Rashford starts over Sancho. Fecking absurd.
I feel like that's a misconception. What I mean is he has a decent shot and is not good defensively, so he is an attacking midfielder by default. But he is a bit of a nothing player. He most definitely does not have the passing or vision to be a creative midfielder.
Ehm what
Two different roles
They should both play. Don’t know why we need Henderson Rice and Barkley
Sterling should be a United player
Two different roles, cant you work that out for yourself?
Oh dear .
.I think Barkley would agree
This game cries out for creative talents in Maddison and sancho. Not sure what Southgate is thinking really? we will need to be better than this against less idiotic opposition
A very good coach would make a midfield change right now.
Rashford shooting from miles out, what the hell is going through his brain in doing this so much 
Kane, goal.
Kane, goal.
With defending like that. One of the midfielders should be taken off and Sancho on
Would have been pissed with my U11s for that
Rose, Trippier, Rice, Barkley, Rashford
It isnt like they dont have better and more offensive players on the bench to play instead of them
Chilwell, Arnold, Maddison and Sancho need to play

Class by Sterling.
Both Harrys have strolled through this
Keane just looks like Burnley player who’s trying to play at a level he’s nowhere near
2 best chances for Bulgaria
some short memories.. he sacked off a load of established England players when he was appointed.
Should be about 4 ahead if we played a proper attacking team against a side like this, it's pretty pathetic.
Bad touch from Sterling.
The problem is not the result.....it's the predicted boring performance with that midfield trio.
Finally half-time 
How could they both play?
Our best team is probably something like:
------------------Kane
Sterling--Maddison--Sancho
------------Winks----Rice
Shaw/Chilwell--Maguire--Gomez--TAA
I don't see any space in that attack for him.
I've found the answer to my insomnia.. watch England
No but Rashford plays well for England and is strong off the left. Sterling also makes very good runs beyond Kane and is good in central areas coming off the right. Let's not act like it doesn't make sense just because Sancho is also a good player.
Rice, Henderson and Barkley is a rubbish midfield
